Minor panic

My head is a lovely mess of minor panics today, so as ever, readers, you can help me come up with some answers!

• My junior elective starts Tuesday morning - I need to buy some more shirts, wash and iron them so I have enough to last a full week
• I need a hair cut.
• The library book still hasn't gone back yet. I must remember to drop it in on my way to my elective.
• I have know idea what hours I will be doing as part of my elective.......which makes planning any more revision tricky.
• I need to tell my elective supervisor that on the last 2 mornings of the elective I have resit exams, and on the 3rd Wednesday there is a revision session 10-1 that I would like to go to.
• As well as being on elective at hospital A, I need to visit my advisor of studies over at the main Uni which is next to hospital B - a good 40 minutes away.
• I am behind on my revision plan to cover the whole course by tomorrow night. Thsi stresses me out a lot.
• Work have introduced new silly shifts, so I might not be going back once my leave ends as they are so silly it is unreal.
• I was meant to have started my driving lessons by now to fit with my plan to get a car by mid-October.
• I also need to resit my theory test as it has expired.
• A friend is getting married next Saturday back home (over the border) and I'm not sure if I will be in hospital on my elective, or if I have time to go to the wedding, i could only be there for the church bit and the start of the evening bit anyway, before I would need to catch a train back.

And finally, despite visiting tesco yesterday, there is nothing i want to eat in the freezer or fridge. Annoying!

Leave of their senses.

On Tuesday, I handed in a nice letter to work asking for 5 weeks Leave of absence from next Sunday morning. In my letter, I even included the dates of the start and end of the leave.

went into work yesterday evening for a backshift and discovered that they had my leave starting this morning, so on the plus side i get an extra week off to study and on the down side i get paid for one week less.

Decisions, decisions

I have today submitted an application for 5 weeks Leave of Absence from work, which i hope will be approved tomorrow. If not then I plan to hand in my notice.


I will miss the people, and even the bizarre quirkes of the place - no hot water, domestic sized sinks, a blocked grease trap, randomly small bins, absences of dustpans, strange management techniques and inadequate staff training.

However on the plus side I will have time for studying!!! And can still spend some time each week with our crew of crazies.
