my student exchange is almost done :)

I have not been very active with my blog lately or actually at all during my time in NZ. I have had so much to do all the time that I have not have found time to write a post. I have updated my other blog in Sairaanhoitajaliitto webpage quite regularly. In that blog there is mostly work and nursing stuff. I still need to write all my trips and life in general here. I can't believe that 3 months is already gone, time flies when you are having fun is so true. I have had awesome time in here and looking forward to come back here as there is so much more to see, do and explore. 

So I am now on my last week of my student exchange which means that I am also on my last week of my nursing degree :) I really looking forward to be finished and be done with studying. No I am not going to get another degree, 3 degrees are enough for one person ;) I have really enjoyed my time in here, on and off work. I would really recommend to everyone to widen their practice by going abroad, especially while studying as it is made easy. Even if you don't want to work in other country than Finland, it still would be beneficial as there are foreign people living in Finland, and they get sick, too. 

I have got into routine now, work in the morning until 15:30 then gym for 1.30h and then it is dinner time. I am looking forward not to share kitchen with at least 14 other people as dinner time is chaos, there is not room for everyone. I am surprised that there has not been que for toilet and shower even when there is 14 people sharing 3 toilets and shower. Weekends I have been travelling or doing something fun. I have been at Waihi beach, walking to beautiful waterfalls and watching some rugby league live. 

I have really enjoyed being here and I think that I could live here, it is so similar to Finland but not have cold winter like in Finland which is always a good thing. 

My holiday starts on Friday and my sister is coming on Sunday. We will travel for 2 weeks in NZ before going to Australia for 2 weeks.
