so i got a letter from the hospital today...congratualting me on successfully kicking-ass at the interview and becoming part of their health care team...
i'm happy that i got into the hospital...and i really am looking forward to my grad year in general nursing so that i can consolidate all the skills that i've spent the past 4 years learning...but reading the letter made me realise just how much of 2004 i'm going to be away from the grrl..
how many nights we'll be spending in separate beds...and how much travelling we'll have to do in order to see each other. don't get me wrong - i'm not adverse to a lil distance...but i remember how frustrating it was last year when i was full on at uni and only seeing sam 3 days a week..and next year i'll be working up here at least 8 days a fortnigt, leaving little room to snuggle up with the grrl..
part of me is frightened that all the distance, travelling and time apart will work against us..but thankfully, the optimist inside tells me not to be so silly - and that absense will make the heart grow fonder. besides, at least there will be some incentive. because being away from her and working means that i'll finally be bringing in some money - so that we can live better and do more things when we actually do get to spend time together. and there's also 4weeks of annual leave - so i guess it's not all bad...

i really am looking forward to starting there, though..it's a nice lil hospital and runs very similarly to LRH..and hopefully i'll be kept busy during my 8-shifts a fortnight so that they'll fly right on by and i'll be back home in my baby's arms before i know it..
