Nuring it is:D

There is a super huge grin on my face. It's been there for a while.. at least ever since i found out that I'd gotten into nursing!!! My 2nd uni now - UTS - and already the sound of it feels like home. It's wonderful knowing the Lord's direction for my life. I've been feeling a conviction that this is where He wanted me to go but not having absolute confirmation (in the form of UAC approval) for most of the year is certainly a trial. It certainly reminds me of Proverbs 13:12 "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life." But how wonderful of Him to answer. Thank you Lord.

Last Tuesday was enrolment day and it took four hours. Mum took me there, for which i'll always be grateful.. i had the ID, vaccination record card, uniform fittings and ordering the nurse kit all done. It's so exciting looking at the uniforms and kit .. it had a stethoscope, a little watch thing, goggles, extendable name badge thingy- the works. And out of my 5 compulsory vaccinations, i've had 2 and going for my 3rd one tmrw! I feel like a total lab rat. Thank God I am as healthy as i am. Classes start in 3 weeks and right now, i'm resting like it'll never be the same again lol. I'm simply beside myself with joy, knowing that this degree was chosen by God for me, and that I will do this course with His blessing.

There's so many other things to look forward to.. it's incredible how that day of days just rolls up on ya. Turning 21 has got to be one of the most spectacular occasions for a reunion with close friends, and that's exactly the excuse i am using:) In a few short days D.V., i will be celebrating with family at a buffet, then with friends at a restaurant the following night. Funny, it sounds like it should be the other way round hehe. And lovely Barbara wants to organise a get together lunch involving everyone from church and some from other churches we know too, which will be a week later. It feels like another pivotal year.

Around November, i hope to spend quality time with the grandpoppies to celebrate grandpa's 80th. Double celebration!!! Actually it's almost a triple celebration for me as my birthday comes right after Chinese New Year. There's just too many causes for celebration these days. And something else super exciting is happening - another lady is moving in soon! More on that later. For now, I wish everyone an advanced Happy Chinese New Year and safe journeys. toodles.
