Mummy has left Melbourne yesterday. My first ever ADO was taken with all my reluctance, as this half-day-off was to send mummy to the airport. Strangely we have been through so many separations in the years I came to Melbourne to study, but everytime when we need to be apart, tears just fall uncontrollably. We just love one another too much~
Anyway, the house becomes very empty & quiet now. I m missing my mum already.

Upgrading Myself
My dream of taking Master has to be discarded. After the orientation on yesterday, i left the hall with a heavy feeling in the stomach - because i knew the possibility of handling both my full-time job and the course is very minimal. A year of 280hours of allocated compulsory placement... I think my boss might as well fire me.
But actually come to think about it, i wld say taking Master is regarded as an extreme way to upgrade myself. This course is for training counsellor. If i m not going to BE a counsellor, i might be wasting the time, resources, and money. And more importantly, i need more time to work on improving my dietetic skills & knowledge.
Anyway, it is the Master course that i m throwing out the window. I m not stopping to value-add myself. I believe i need more skills to become a better dietitian. In a way, i have to keep learning. It is just a matter of how....

返工.... 好亂！
返工已一星期。感覺..... 只有... 亂！
一開始面對一堆摸不清頭腦的文件。Tax, salary packaging, superannuation，連媽咪都出動幫我研究。搞了一晚還是不大明白... 頭腦的亂！
之後，慢慢發現亂的程度更恐怖。電腦 system 上，我的 login 只能上網和 check emails，那些 drives 就沒有，而最重要的 schedule （幾時見哪個 client）更是沒有 access. 一個星期了，電腦問題還沒解決。至於日常操作，就更亂。Clients 的文件竟然可以在五個不同地方“嘗試找”！在我上班的第二天，我發現我其中一個 client 竟然有 4 個文檔。相信之前的 staffs 都“找不到”而重復自立了新文檔。我的天啊！.... 機構的亂！
不過，更可笑的是我上司根本是個十分亂的人。就算現在，我都搞不清自己應該在哪裏上班。Interview 當天，她說我會去 Clayton 和 Glen 上班。第一天，她對我說我要駐守 Hugesdale 而星期四就到 Glen。隔了兩天，她又說我星期三，五去 Glen. 但到我問她我到 Glen 做什麽，因爲我的 clients 都在 Hugesdale，她又對我說那我就暫時會在 Hugesdale，以後永遠去 Glen。唉~ 她到底自己搞清楚了沒有~~~ 不過啊，與我一起 start first day 的 Grade 2 同事更慘，Dietitian Room 給了我見 clients，而她就像被遺棄的，要自己找地方坐，做事。真的很亂！
第一份工多少會不習慣，會比較亂，不過應該不至於這樣亂吧~ 指引又沒有，多數的東西都是亂七八糟。去 home visits 就自己去，要小心什麽，要做什麽都沒對我說。唉~ 要我習慣這工作，我相信我要一段時間來慢慢了解最基本的運作，可能‘撞幾次板學乖’，因爲一切都太亂了！
* 不過，話雖如此，同事們還算友善，也很會幫忙。始終我是 fresh grad，他們因該不會嫌我煩吧~ 希望這份工會做得開開心心啦~

Starting work in one day
Starting work in one day. Working / Earning a living... It sounds unfamiliarly grown up~ Well, i shld have expected it from the time of graduation & job-hunting, but still. At this point of time, i question if i m ready. I think everyone does feel a bit uneasy before she starts work for a new job, esp the first job. Well, will my colleagues be nice? What scope or field are they expecting me to cover? How can i utilise my skills best? Thousands of questions flashing in my head~ Anxiety & eagerness to find out more~ Hope tomorrow will be fine. :)

H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.S
The 4D3N trip to Adelaide with mum was a great finale of my long long happy holiday. Despite having a last-minute plan for the trip, these 4 days have been well-scheduled and definitely joyful. Although we faced an immidiate issue of accommodation initially (i booked an "room" behind a cafe?!!!), things just smoothed out pretty soon. Day one we explored the city & took numerous photos; day 2 we took a tram down to Glenelg Beach for the dolphin-watch & "micro-shell"-hunting on the coast; day 3 we joined the day tour to go up the hills to Handnofs (German village) & many wineries; & last day at Central Market & round-up the trip. It was a relaxing, slow-pace trip that allowed us to maximise our time in exploring Adelaide~ It was really Great~! Flashes of the close-view of the wild dolphins & the taste of the German sausage are all still fresh in my mind, which have definitely made a memorable "graduation trip".
Well, as i said, this comes to the end of my lovely holidays. For years, i have taken these 3-month long holidays for granted. I didn't even take up part-time or casual jobs but simply spent the time luxurously relaxing at home. Well, I will be starting to work next Monday~ 9to5 daily, n i m sure i ll probably miss my long long vacation~~
