Fed up


Every weekend, I go back home to Wales 150 miles away to see the family and my dogs. Friday night is brilliant - get home at 8 and watch crap TV with the dogs on my knee. Get up and go to work all day Saturday to earn some money to keep the lights on. Have a nice meal on Sat night. Nice, normal stuff.

Sundays are horrid; by now we are getting used to being back home with the family and nice surroundings. We remember how nice and easy our old life used to be, before leaving local well paid jobs for me to study medicine. I take the dogs back to my mums, and then pack the car up before hitting the motorway to come back here.

I am sitting back in my little flat now - am very depressed! Would rather be back home with my three smelly dogs on my knee, reading the Sunday papers with my mum. These are the hard parts of giving everything up to do medicine when you are an oldie.

Never mind...tomorrow I will be one step closer to qualifying and then we can get our lives back to some normality.

About Me

My photo
I knew I wanted to study medicine from 5 minutes into my nurse training in 1992. This didn't go down too well with my peers but it has taken me eleven years to get my life in a place where I could apply to medical school, so I have paid my nursing dues! I was lucky enough to get two offers. I have been married for seven years to an ex footballer who is now a PE teacher. We have no plans for babies but I would love more King Charles Spaniels. I start medicine on September 20th 2006 and am absolutely petrified.
