Ok Well... Where to begin... With the obvious I guess!.. 'K, the name's Melissa, but most people just call me Mel. I'm a twenty-three year old chick who has FINALLY gotten over being an age that has a hyphen in it.. ah well.. Oh yeah and that's me up there... In all my drunken glory... I HATE having my photo taken so the only time anyone can get near me with a camera is when I'm rotten... And that isn't all that often of late, 'cos my liver's cactus and I'm not s'posed to drink too much... Mind you I can drink MORE than my fair share on occasions,and also on non-occasions.. I'll put a more recent pic up soon, I PROMISE!!!.. it might even be one from my graduation in April... Although maybe not... I look shocking in all of them!!
As for where I live... that's kinda a long story.. But the short and sweet version is that I live in a cosy little unit in the charming suburb of West Preston. But not for long!!! Since the bastards at real estate have raised our rent because we took them to the tribunal, Trace and I have decided to move!!! Yippee!! I might be somewhere closer to the action!!!
As for what I do, I'm a nurse in my grad year at the Royal Melbourne. I USED to study Speech Pathology at La Trobe Uni in Bundoora, but I chucked that in halfway through '99. And three years ago I started studying Nursing at the same place. It's actually a bit bizarre not having someone looking over my shoulder... and signing RN after my name.. and having other nurses check their IV drugs with me... But it's great!!! It was a long time coming!!
Actually there's a bit of a story as to why I want to be a nurse... It all started at the Menzies College Ball of 1999... A lethal combination of champagne, high heels, long evening dress and marble stairs... I had a slight altercation with the stairs, and needless to say, came off second best. *lol* Then I got carted off to hospital in an ambulance with blood pissing out my scalp and bobby pins deciding to try and lodge themselves into my brain.. (yeah, good luck trying to find it!!)
The ambos and nurses were so awesome (THANKS GUYS!!!) that they inspired me to get off my iron-deficient bum and do something about going back to uni in 2000... And it was awesome fun too... great people in the course.. piss-farting around in the nursing arts lab... it's fun!! Well apart from having to do placements and continue to work (for actual money) throughout them.. I dunno how I did it for 3 years!!! I'm exhausted from just working!!!
And, well, seeing as you're here... why not sign my guestbook??.. (*hint hint*)
