mayoraaseiWell, assuming they haven't made a mistake with naming/candidate number/emails/ranking/whatever, I've been offered a rural bonded place for medicine =__=;; The revised scheme means that for every year I study, I must work one year at a rural location.
In other words, that's going to be 4 years stuck at Wagga Wagga, or some other outback waterhole.
My friend (who's still waiting for her results from ANU) has been very encouraging, pointing out that city placements can be much more difficult to find, and the government doesn't subsidise such placements, even in areas of shortage like the outer suburbs.
I'm getting a case of wedding blues (hahaha). I'm not sure I really want to do med... Don't get me wrong, I find med a very interesting subject, the sort of thing that'll keep my short interest span occupied enough for the rest of my life, I bet. But boiled down, it's only the thing I would like to do more than any other job short of choosing one that will never support me, like writing or whatever.
Good thing I won't have to think about that for a week or so. The logistics of trying to get all the paperwork and first aid recertification and VACCINATIONS done all before February next year is just frightening.
I don't remember a single thing about vaccinations. Vaguely I seem to remember something involving needles in year 8 for MMR (measles/mumps/rubella). Argh.
Anyway, will think about that later. First must finish that stupid 30 minute presentation due tomorrow.
As an aside, if anyone wants to hear the English voices in Gundam Seed, here's episode 28. The only one missing is Lacus. God. Athrun's voice sounds like a weasel. WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO HIM T___T I don't mind Kira's voice too much...though it reminds me a lot of someone, but not Kira =__= here's episode 42 with Lacus and Andrew. Lacus' voice doesn't grate, but it doesn't have the extreme girliness but cool authority that she managed to command in Japanese.

Date: 2007-10-19 11:10 am (UTC)I had to get vaccines for college a couple of years back, and it wasn't very much fun. I'm thinking of going back to school when I return to Canada, and I belive the program will probably require rabies vaccines. I've heard not-so-nice things about rabies shots, so I won't be looking forward to that.

2nd of all grats on earning a rural placement...so you can...err...smell the...extremely dried grass?
hrmm..personally I would think that I wouldnt be able to handle it being so far away from civilization, but I reckon you can do it! (Only because...I actually survived 2 years down there in kuringai...) But we have different interests, i reckon you will enjoy part of the time living independently away from parents and being able to do some of the stuff you might have wanted to do but had no time. (Not to say you wont be busy....but the environment might be more conducive to drawing and story writing!)
so you will alternate your stay in syd then rural placement right.
