OK so I just checked my blog again, and the title hit me: “It’s May!” aotch.. Time for an update.
Hi, I’m Anne. I’m in my second… no just kidding. But I am proud though to say that I am in my second year in college. One (two if you count this year as well) year left, and I will be a nurse. In charge of someones life. The one people turn to with problems and trust that I know what I’m talking about.. SCARY!! ..but I hope (desperately) that in the two years I got left that I will learn something that makes me feel more confident, and not feel like I’m going to kill the next person because I don’t have a clue about what I’m doing.. hehe..
Other than that, I’m waiting for the interview that will tell me if I can go to Ethiopia or not! October 19 is the day, and I can’t wait!! If everything goes well I will be sitting on a plain in January that will take me to Addis Ababa, for 12(!!) weeks!! I will be working at a hospital for 8 weeks, and do what ever I want to (that the school approves of) for the remaining 4 weeks. I so desperately want to go, that I don’t know what I’ll do if they wont let me..
The most important, life-sucking (exaggeration), time-taking and challenging thing going on now is the two exams coming up in two weeks. It’s about 1900pages filled with words I don’t understand. It’s basically the entire foundation of my career packed together in two exams, over a 7 week period. We’re talking pharmacology, every illness there is and how to take care of them as a nurse (strange way to say it, but I can’t find the right words..) In 7 weeks! And I got 2 weeks left. Stressed? Worried? Tired? Yes. I know that it’s impossible to learn everything now, and that it’s not my last chance to learn all this. But I don’t want to get an F on this. I want the A or B, but I can settle with an C as well. (no, I’m not a school-freak or something. And not smart, I just have high expectations and like good grades..) The thing though is that I know that I don’t stand a chance on this. So if I get any better than a D I know that it’s Gods work! No doubt. So I feel confident, in a way. I know that God will help me. I can feel it already, and He knows that I don’t really want to take this exam again in the spring..
For my practical this fall I will be in Bærum. 7weeks. With some good friends, and I think we’ll have some great fun – and at the same time learn a lot! (..of course..) It’s “hjemmesykepleien”, you know – the job where the nurses go home to you and help you out with things..? What is it called? …… oh who cares, you know what I mean.. I’m looking forward to it anyways.
Another thing that is keeping me occupied is my car that had the check-up that car needs every second year (EU-godkjenning). Well mine came to 10-12000kr (1000-1200pounds, 2000$). Aotch. Not so much in “car-world”, but in “Anne-world” that is a lot!! It’s three flat rents in one month.. So I’m working a lot, and studying a lot and drinking a lot of coffee. Life of a student.
Luckily I got very kind parents who’s going to buy me new tires and drive them here to Oslo, since I can’t drive home on the ones I got now.. THANKS! 
I love them.
What else to say? ..I need to go back to my books.. I feel ulcus pepticum is coming already.. Don’t know what it means? I DO! 
hehe.. no, but look it up or ..drop it. – because I don’t know what it is in English.
Don’t give up on me yet, please. I will keep this more updated!
Love from me
I know this probably was a boring blog, so here’s a picture that (hopefully) will make you smile, at least a little. I just, for some reason, love this one. Polar bears, so dangerous yet so cute..
