So I've gotten used to work, well, I say got used to but technically I've only been at work for 8 days in total but I actually really like what I do. It's not even about the fact that I'm actually finally a legit doctor or wtv but I actually look forward to going to work everyday and don't mind staying in later just to finish up the jobs or help out some nurses with patient stuffs.
It's amazing how you never know if you can do something, but once you do it, you can't see yourself doing anything else. And being on the island, to be honest, I wasn't really happy about it when I first found out. In fact, I was devastated. But now, I really think it was a blessing in disguise. God really does work in mysterious ways.
Found and made some really good close friends, explored the beautiful island on weekends I have off, and also just being in such a lovely hospital working with friendly helpful staff really makes me feel so stupid for thinking that coming to the island was some sort of "punishment" and what not. Well, I'm really enjoying the fact that I don't have to study and feel guilty if I don't anymore. Enjoying the weekends off where I can truly enjoy and go out and be happy and carefree.
Some pictures from the past few weekends on the island. It's seriously so happening in Summer! Something happens every weekend! Doubt it'll be like this in winter though, but I'll survive. LOL.
At the Shanklin Chine.
Fireworks to mark the end of the annual Cowes Week, one of the world's longest-running regatta.
Second biggest event on the island after Cowes week, the two-day annual Garlic Festival. Turned out so much more fun than I expected!
Garlic pic just because it's a garlic farm! So many types of garlic I never knew existed.
Even managed to try archery for the first time ever. Did quite well for a newbie I'd say :P
Listening to the instructions closely. So close to getting a bullseye!
Country side driving. No wonder so many people in England choose to retire on the island. So beautiful.
In awe of His creation. What a beauty.
So yea, His ways are definitely not my ways. They're so much better. So thankful that I'm on the island now. Sure, there will be ups and downs, but He's brought me this far, He'll continue bringing me further on. Eternally grateful.
