i am given an opportunity to go to HONGKONG for my clinical placement in yr3.
HELLO! HOW AWESOME IS THAT?! an overseas placement! i nv thought i will have this chance. this sorta thing doesn't usually happen to mediocre students like me.
opportunity doesn't knock twice.
let me tell you what's gg thru my head.
1. while some are gg HK, there are others who are gg Curtin(but not me cos my grades didn't really make it)
2. i can try to request to go curtin instead.
3. i definitely prefer. WAY WAY WAY prefer to go curtin than HK.
4. i was told HK's placement is an outpatient setting - and i might be gg there during the spinal module, BUT i may not be getting spine cases THROUGHOUT (or rather, it's not certain how many spine cases i will even see). this worries me. i'm really looking forward to doing well in my spinal module.
5. cost of living and expenses is way cheaper in HK then curtin, duh!
6. if there's a chance, i wana work in aussie in the future. NOT HK. so why waste my time?
7. not a good canto speaker to begin with.
8. i'm not that well off.
9. it is such a waste to give up this chance becos it will be given to someone else! i've worked so hard for this!(not THIS THIS. but yea.) i deserve this.
10. if i do get accepted to curtin's placement, wld it be like a 'waste', considering i'm gonna go there for my overseas degree conversion ANYWAY. get wat i mean?
11. i am already gg aussie in april. do i really want to go there again? (YES. OF COURSE!) juz tt no money.
12. if rite now, i am given the scholarship to do my degree conversion, i wld have no qualms(nor money woes) abt applying for the curtin placement immediately.

yea. i will be stupid to give this (hk) up. i'm always that sort of person not to try out things (becos of the cash, or rather, the lack of it)
i have 2 days to decide. wth?!
i have also <2 days to finish my inservice!

life is good. but it can be better.
