Today I went and saw Memoirs of a Geisha with my bestest buddies Lauren and Carol. It was a really beautiful movie. It was sad at times, I even cried! I loved it and so did my friends. I like movies set in Japan. Japan is beautiful. Hehe, before the movie I even had Japanese food for lunch! All in all it was a nice movie. It’s kind of a chick flick, hence the absence of Mark, lol.

*sniffle*
Yesterday was my last day at woolies. It was officially my last day as a checkout girl and the end of an era. I’ll be the first to admit that working at woolies was in the end driving me slightly crazy. I was there for 3 1/2 freaking years! too bloody long. I was running out of puff at woolies. I had set a timeframe for how long I would be there. I knew that once I finished my course, I would be finished with woolies. The last few months at woolies I was getting wrestless mainly because I knew I was so close to completing all my goals. Sometimes it was hard being a checkout girl when I knew I was capable of so much more! lol. Yeah, my motto is kind of, “once you’ve given an enema you arnt afraid of anything” lol.
When I first started at woolworths I was still in highschool and doing my HSC. Ack, its so scary looking back at it now. I was a shy little thing, especially when dealing with customers. I wasnt use to saying hello and being all friendly with strangers (customers). My experiences at woolworths has kind of helped me with nursing too and vice versa. Working at woolies made me comfortable talking to patients who I had never met before. Made me comfortable making idle chit chat with people I hardly knew.
Doing and completing my nursing degree has however helped me grow as a person. It has helped me grow in confidence and happiness. Being on clinicals always made me feel confident and rewarded. The big difference between being a nurse and a checkout girl is that as a nurse you get such a great feeling of acheivment. Also, as a nurse you are respected and admired, as a checkout chick its totally the oposite, lol.
Anyway, my last shift last night went fine, mainly becuase I didnt give a crap, haha. Usually I cant wait till 6 o’clock to go home. Last night I didnt care, because I knew it would be the last time.
Woolies gave me flowers and a card. It was nice of them. I was like teary, lol. Dont laugh ppl! Working there might not have meant anything to some ppl, but the end of it signifies and end of one period in my life and the beginning of another. Maybe I’m just being melodramatic. Anywho, its over, and my final words on the matter are…
WOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess what? I’m a Registered Nurse! How freaking awesome is that, ay? It’s fu%king FANTASTIC! It just really hit me today that I CAN WORK ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!! How freaking awesome! Ofcourse I’m going to finish my new grad program, but oh la la. I’m going to dream of all the places I could go if I wanted. I have the coolest job ever.
I went for my uniform fitting the other day. The nursing uniform is a bit fugly. Even my university nursing uniform was nicer. One of my nurse outfits looks like a coles uniform! how blah! Haha, people are going to think I quit woolies to work at coles! I was joking with friends yesterday that I’ll never be able to escape my checkout girl days! Oh the horror.
I’m happy, but I’m starting to get shiet scared about starting my new nursing job *whimpers*. Scared, but loving it! I just hope I dont accidently hurt someone. I’m going to focus focus focus, lol.
The site has been going up and down for a while. Its been acting stupid. Not that anyone comments other than Mark, ptsh! (love ya honey :P)
Oh yeah.. I registered as a nurse yesterday. Got my regsitration certificate, a RN badge and a t-shirt from the union (the union fees are crazy!)
Anyway, Robyn’s 21st birthday party is tomorrow!!! omg omg omg!! fun fun fun. I’m gonna have the funnest time ever.
sorry for all the typos, didnt spellcheck

I just kind of realised that to know someone you have to have more than a few sentences of conversation with them and when you do you realised that maybe they wernt really the person you made them up to be. I also realised that Mark totally gets my weird sense of humour.
A n g e p a n t s says:
how would u describe my sense of humour?

A bit twisted
I totally agree. I like being me.

The Chronicles of Narnia; the lion, the witch and the wardrobe
Ack! Can’t believe I nearly forgot to do my review on the movie; The Chronicles of Narnia; the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. I think I went and saw it the same day it was realeased. Which I think was boxing day! Damn boxing day haze clouds my mind. Anyway the movie was fantastical, the cinema was packed. It was packed with people of every age group. *sigh* I remember when I was litte (I should stop deluding myself, I was never little) younger and I read the book over and over again. I remember watching the tv show of it on the ABC. I remember them showing the tv show during recess in primary school and rushing to the library before they stopped letting people in. I remember dreaming of Aslan the super big kitty. I remember thinking Edmund was an ass and that I never would just go and have “tea” with a weird looking goat person (aka the faun). I remember thinking that Susan was a winey biatch. Ahhh, sigh, the memories.
So yeah. The movie was good. Especially if you like big kitty cats.

I’ve been reading other blogs and I realised everyone is doing a post saying goodbye to 2005 and hello to 2006. Since I’m a sheep I think I will do the same (even though its abit late).
Okie dokie.
Worst aspects about 2005;
- very stressful in regards to my degree
- working at woolies, but that should really go without saying
- being poor
- not being able to go on a holiday
- failing a test thing (which i do not want to mention because its embaressing)
Best things about 2005 (have to end the post thinking about the good things)
- turning 21 and having a fun party with my friends, family and sweeet boyfriend
- Mark and I got to the 1 year mark of being together (wohoo)
- having the nicest 21st birthday weekend with Markness ever
- helping Mark look after kitty cats Ice and Vanilla (they are gorgeous kitties).
- discovering I want to specialise in mental health nursing
- having the greatest 2 weeks clinical for my mental health placement
- completing my 1 month clinical and accomplishing great things during that time
- making friends on my 1 month clinical
- comleting my degree
- getting my first ever distinction!
- getting good marks at uni
- hanging out with my uni friends
- feeling loved at christmas
- getting a new job as a new grad!
- being able to give woolies my 2 weeks notice (wohoo! x2)
- buying my flat lcd tv
2005 was a great great year for me. i loved it. lets hope 2006 will be an even better year (heres to hoping i can control my anxiety over my new job, lol)
