HI ALL!!!
lol!! Am missing everyone. Giving a special shout out to Da Jie and Er Jie back in Perth. Miss you both so much.
Geraldton is a really cool place (literally). Upon arrival (after a 6.5 hours pleasant coach ride - made a couple of new friends), I was thinking 'mini-Perth'. So, the minute we got here, our (I came to Gero with a course-mate/ friend, Britt) lovely supervisor picked us up from the coach-port. We were then taken on a 'tour' around the town. Then to the nurses quarters where we were staying for the next 7 weeks.
The nurses quarters are actually better than I expected. Kind of expected it to be a little more run-down with very little access to crockeries and the likes. But contrary to that, the only thing I disliked was the yucky green carpet. lol. The nurses quarters are extremely old.
Sunday. Both Britt and I went to Sun City Church (after Britt helped with getting details - thanks Britt) where we met a lovely lady name Sarah. Sarah is the best. We hung out with her and her friends (people from Lighthouse Church) the whole Sunday. First, we went to the beach via 4WD. It was AWESOME! Had a bit of a trouble when I was out at sea though (almost drowned...Was saved by lovely Sarah - She's my life saver). Was going to tell you all the story, but it takes far too long.
Anyways. Went to watch Slumdog Millionaire with the new friends that night and it was the best!
1st week at work: -
Have always been a little weary bout hospitals, so I found it a little intimidating. And the fact that Britt prefers to do wards (hospital) which allows me to do home visits allowed me to 'settle down' a bit better. On the Tues, we attended cell (Sun City church) and again lovely Sarah drove us. It was great meeting everyone and getting to know them And last night, we attended youth group (Lighthouse Church). Again super fun. But I still miss Fyre.
The best part about everything is probably the girls who live in the nurses quarters with Britt and I. They're the loveliest bunch. Carol - always making us laugh. lol. O, and also the independent living bit - the buying of food and cooking for oneself.
Overall, Geraldton has been great. Had a little drama but it is great. Being able to live independently and budget and cook for myself and being so welcomed by Geraldton. For everyone out there, visit Geraldton. It may seem far and small but it is growing and it is very welcoming.
