Hard to believe that I’ve been here a whole month … time sure flies! The weekdays keep me quite busy as I’m working full time at the hospital. I’m really enjoying it and am finding it extremely rewarding. Some of my patients keep me laughing the whole day, it’s fantastic! A patient was discharged home on Friday (after almost 4 months of therapy) and it was actually quite teary to see him go. The physios in my office are pretty social, so we’re always going out for lunch together or meeting up for drinks after work. It’s funny hanging out with them when I’m “the student” but they treat as one of the staff and make me feel right at home. Had my midterm review last week too and lucky for me, they’re going to let me stay!!!! That’s great news considering my tan could still use a lot more work.
I must say I love finishing a packed day at work, throwing on my bikini, and heading down to the beach for some sun … and perhaps if I’ve been good, I’ll treat myself to a gelati … my new fave snack!
I’ve been trying to get around Adelaide as much as possible when I’m not at work. It’s definitely a pretty laid back city, not a lot of exciting night life, but I’m checking out what’s here anyways. A friend of mine went back to New Zealand 2 weeks ago, so it’s a little more quiet now. Had another climb up Mt Lofty … it’s becoming my weekly spiritual ritual. I love the climb up … but more importantly, the reward at the top!
