LOL!! I am well but jet lagged. I basically did a flip flop of my days and nights and took a very long nap today. Left hip is killing me at times but I am coping. I am very much in the middle of "nowhere" East Anglia in a very small town which is very lovely. Mick got me settled and still waiting on my new cell phone and on the information about the car, which is too good a deal to pass up really. It will give me ability to travel and see much more!

I am staying in a lovely 5 bedroom home, driveway is about a 1/4 mile long. Such gorgeous wildlife here I can't wait to see it in spring and summer!! Classes have begun and I am already struggling but I always do first few weeks until I get into a routine or take first tests (and do well). then I will be able to relax.

I am just about unpacked and settled, though. Lots I still need to do, but coming along nicely considering I just got here.

I am so sorry I didnt get to see you Jet (and Mary too!). I will for sure when I get back or else you need to get a passport and come here- there is a huge national patient forum in May right in London you know!!

I think mid next week I will trek into London to sort out my medications and do a few errands I need. Haven't been on a walk here yet, as today was very cold. The frost stayed most of the day and was like a dusting of diamond crystals, very fine and sparkly.

I think I am going to love it here (once it warms and there is more sun!). In the meantime, I study, study, study and try to get settled.

Welcome Kristina! Hope you will be happy here. I am sure you will bump into a lot of us at the Patients Day in May.

[Hidden in reply to Storky]

I will be there for sure! Can't wait!

[studentnurse1970]

Kristina - Hi was just catching up on people's posts and was interested to see you had moved to England. I don't actually live that far from you - I live in the next county Norfolk (my brother lives just outside Cambridge). I am studying for my Bsc in Adult Nursing at the University of East Anglia. Where are you studying? at one of the colleges in Cambridge or at Angia Ruskin? I am not originally from England but have lived here for nearly 5 years in July.

Nicky

[Hidden in reply to studentnurse1970]

Nicky, are you from the US? I am actually taking online courses through University of Wyoming and I think I bit off more than I can chew!! Hard getting settled and organized but is coming along.

I hope we get a chance to meet up!!! Where we are both studying Nursing I bet we could be of help to each other and def have that in common. Please email me (see above) and once I get the car and figure out how to drive lets try to get together.

[jetjetjet]
