I would talk about some of the happenings at the Care Home recently, but I'm sure it would merely end up as one long whinge. I was blamed for something which I had no knowledge of by two senior members of staff and then threatened with a reprimand from the Matron for not doing something when asked by a SHCA, despite the fact she knows I'm a hard worker and would get round to whatever it was when I had a moment to spare. I was not impressed; enough said. I wish I had had the alacrity and wit to say something equally barbed back to her but I was so sick and tired of everything I just let it slide.
Anyway, my flight to Austria is just over 2 weeks away and my parents are in nag mode. I know I should be getting my insurance sorted etc etc, but when I get home after work I'm so tired I forget how to use the TV controls never mind all the things I have to do for Vienna. I find that when I have a lot of things to remember, I remember everything - when I have only a few things to do, I forget them all. There is that saying - If you want something done, ask a busy person. I think I am that kind of person!
I have a list of things to do which is threatening to consume me - I think I keep putting all these little things off so I don't have to think about the fact that I'm flying out to a foreign country alone in just over two weeks for 10 months and I'm scared witless that it is all going to go horribly wrong.
I have a past history of this - I KNOW something is going to go wrong.
But even if it does, at least I'll be covered by my uber-comprehensive year abroad insurance (thanks Mum :S ).

It's not a comfortable feeling, that sense that something might go wrong. But actually, even if you tried to keep things exactly as they are, it would only ever work for a short space of time. And those big, bold moves, the moves that give you those feelings of risk and danger, they're the moves that put you into the most productive position where interesting changes can happen.
You're very brave. I know you'll do well.
With loads of love and luck

Thanks Spence :) I know I'll love it once I'm settled in - very rarely has anyone come back off their year abroad having hated it! It's just the initial nerves and this horrible feeling that I've missed something important... but once I'm out there within walking distance of the very people who can help me at the University, I'll probably be much happier.
Thanks for the luck - I'll need it! :)

Go on, have a whinge...
That's pretty much what my blog is all about!
Hello Area! Welcome :D I may well write about it once the thought of it doesn't make me jet steam out of my ears... :) Hope you enjoy reading about my foreign exploits!
