Graduation

After 6 very long years - albeit enriching and very fun ones, the university actually saw it fit to graduate me (gasp!! horror of horrors - poor patients etc.) But on a more sombre note - it has been a loosely guarded secret that mortality rates within hospitals do rise during the initial few months where junior staff (doctors & nurses alike) are recruited.

On something less morbid - it's been crazy around here with showing parents around, applying for new visa, applying for Medical Registration in South Australia, looking for new accommodation, applying for a Medicare Provider Number, endless Police Checks (seriously do I look THAT bad!!??), and hiring movers to move my stuff... and so many more whilst planning a certain person's bucks night. Sigh!

Since I am still ranting - my movers quoted me this: AUD 2109 to move my stuff from my apartment in Carlton to Bedford Park in South Australia. But I forgot to inform them that my apartment is on the first floor with no lift access. Modified quote: AUD 3100. Seriously... AUD 2100 to move to Adelaide I can accept, AUD 1000 to move things down 1 floor is silly. Still the hospital is paying for this...

Back to photos (Thanks Gids - for this week and last, and whoever was playing with my camera!!!). So for ONCE - it's ALL about me, me, me. But so wierd to be on the other side of the camera:

One for the record. No fake degrees off the internet here. AUD 90000 for each slip of paper (based on school fees). For the inquisitive one - I have a parchment for my MBBS and another for Biomedical Science.

Ailing - the bestest sister and senior you could have. Thank you for 6 years of notes, encouragement, and help with work esp. the Year 3 assignment (shivers down my spine right now).

Big group shot!!

There are still a few more photos e.g. with Life Kids, Joy and Terence, Keryn and Joseph, Ash and Ange, Audrey and Andy that I am still working on. The photos are sort of more difficult to work on because of glare. Thanks so much all - for everyone who embraced me as family during the last few years!
