Working class hero

Yesterday the nurses of AKD went out clubbing to celebrate handing in a terrible essay that made most of us want to jump out the window. I'm not going to spend any more time thinking about that essay, so I'd much rather speak about my night out. After staying up until 5am finishing my essay then being stuck in uni until 5pm it was definitely time for a party to loosen up. We had such a good night out. My alcohol intake was not over the top something that made the night awesome and today's day in lectures bearable.
I've also gotten my first shifts at the orthopaedics ward in Forth Valley. I'm working Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 7:30 to 20:00. This more or less means a weeks holiday from tomorrow. 12 hour shifts will be hard work, but hopefully interesting and educational.

My new crib

This is the flat Ciaran, Ciara and I are moving into 14th of may =D It's two double bedrooms and one single. The location and more or less everything is perfect about the whole flat. The photo of the bedroom is the bedroom I'm going to have, I never got the chance to take a photo of Ciara and Ciaran's room. So enjoy

Because I'm a good wife

So i guess it's time to update this blog again. I don't have much to say about uni apart from the fact lectures are draining, warm, boring and interesting at the same time. On Monday Ciaran, Ciara and I went uptown to talk some real estate agents about flats for next year and oh my it's exciting! I've never felt more grown up in my life. Well, I guess I never have been. We did see some we liked and we've more or less made up our minds on what kind of flat we would want. It was freezing in Stirling and after a quick trip by the job centre to get some help on applying for a national insurance number, we went to the Kilted Kangaroo for a drink. I also got time to squeeze in some shopping at the end of it all. The rest of the week I've been keeping busy not thinking about my essay that needs to be handed in next week and focused on making good food and sleep. A lot of good food and sleep.

One of the not so interesting lectures

I'm not going to lie, the man who marries me will be the luckiest man ever (well, when it comes to food anyway)

Friday the 13th

I have to say this. I suck at blogging. I know its 13 days since the last time I updated the blog and it makes me feel so bad. I'll start with a summary of what has happened since last time I updated my blog. At New Years Eve we went to my neighbour’s house for tea and spent most of the night there. Since my mom was working the night shift I had to say goodbye to her there and that crushed my heart. I was also really sick and that kind of didn’t help on my mood. We left quite early and watched the fireworks from our veranda at 12 o clock. After that I had to pack and go to sleep. I had to get up at 6 in the morning and said goodbye to Silje and them Dad and Tobias drove me up to the airport. I got on the flight and it was me and 23 other people on the whole plane. It was awesome having a whole row to myself. I kind of needed that after all that Christmas food. Getting home to Edinburgh was good. I didn’t expect to miss Connor that much, but I guess it was the Christmas spirit that tried to pull me back to Edinburgh. I spent the rest of the time at Connor's parent’s house. It was awesome staying there and just completely relax. On the second of January we went to visit Connor's aunt Jo. It's weird being at that stage of the relationship where it's natural that you go to the family parties and stuff, but it's also very nice. Apart from that we have just been chilling to the max. James came over and we went out for some drinks before I went back to Stirling the 8th. It was weird being back in halls but it only took half a second before it felt like I had never left in the first place. Now I'm back in Edinburgh in Connors flat waiting for it to be 5 o clock and Connors dad picking us up. I found out where my placement is and I'm looking forward to my 9 weeks at ward b23: Orthopaedics at Forth Valley this semester!
