I haven’t been making frequent or even worthy updates recently.
It’s because I have been sigh sick again. This time it has meant that I missed the biggest party of the year in Samoa so far (the After Party event). I even got multiple txts from my workmates telling me that I should come out despite the fever and bad stomach because it was not to be missed. 🙁
But Sal comes soon. 🙂 Woot.
I was in Canberra last week, braving the cold weather (I think it got down to negatives at night with wind chill). It was all for 5 days of training, bonding and learning for my departure to Samoa.
I learnt a lot. Samoan culture is quite interesting and I am more excited than ever to go. Some fears were allayed, some other worries cropped up but overall I think I will manage. There are worse ways to spend a year than sunny Apia with its tropical charms and island life.
In between meeting my new assignment buddies, learning, going out, and writing a letter to myself to be opened in a year, there were some near evacuations.
The hotel behind mine just caught on fire. There were camera men running down from various places trying to get footage, and prettier presenters walking slower down the to the scene to get themselves in front of the camera. It was actually quite exciting for a while there. Before I decided to take a nap. The Canberra weather has given me a cold.
So I am sick for the first time in a while. :p
I blame it on the shockingly cold house I reside in. I have a day off which is OK, but spent feeling shitty.
I want to rail against the GPs in my area. Couldn’t get an appointment until really late, faced with reception who act as if I should feel privileged to even see a Dr, and a Dr who doesn’t see new patients ontop of masisve gap. Impressibe? No.
