I'm here!

Well, I have finally arrived. I'm having a little trouble typing this because although it is a Dell keyboard, it is European I believe, because I keep hitting the wrong key for shift, return, etc. Plus the computer is slow and I had a hard time getting on to the internet so I may not blog all the time. We shall see.

When I arrived last night, they fed the four of us that arrived together, took our picture for our name tag, and showed us to our rooms. I am sharing a room with 5 other girls. There are 3 bunk beds and I get one of the top ones. Yeah for me!! I'm getting the dormlife I never had since I commuted to college. I have only met two of my roommates so far. After I unpacked (I definetaly think I brought too much), Jenny, an OR nurse from Sweden came in and invited me for tea. She looks just like my aunt Bonnie. We chatted for a short time. She is here for 3 weeks to work with the ortho team. Went to bed by 10pm. It was an interesting morning. we have 3 separate curtains that cover the sections in our room to let the others know you are sleeping. The girls were so quiet and effeciant when they were leaving the room. For me, last night, just taking a shower was an ordeal because I kept forgetting to bring things into the bathroom. I need to get organized and get a routine down.

At 10am I met with the ward supervisor for a brief orientation of the ward. I am definetaly nervous to say the least about working here. Pray for me that I learn quickly and that it is not as hard as it looks. All the paperwork etc. is different so it will just take getting used to.

I have at least 2 meetings tonight to attend, one of which will be a ship tour. I feel like I am wandering aimlessly because I don't know what to do till my 6pm meeting. A nightshift worker is sleeping in the room so I don't want to go back to get my paperwork because my loud unorganized self would probably wake her up. I will get a system down soon. Tomorrow I have orientation on the PM shift.

Well bye for now. Hope all is well at home.
