its been awhile..the last 2 weeks have been interesting:) my irish tutor is amazing..he's just so good at his job and is pretty inspirational. He seems to make it all seem so easy, but at the same time I don't know how he does everything that he does..hah his accent makes it hard to understand what he's saying at times..but I like irish accents:)

another thing I've realised over the last couple of weeks..old people in australia are just so independant. like today, I made a home visit to an 80-yr-old greek little old lady who drives around in her little blue car and stays alone in her immaculate clean little house by the beach:) although she has a serious heart condition, she's still staying by herself, cleaning up after herself, buying groceries for herself..and its not just her. about 80% of the patients I've been seeing are elderly and live by themselves, and they're just so proud of their independence..but then. I was thinking..is it really possible to be happy by yourself? sure independence is great..but then how can anyone feel happy staying in the same house by yourself for weeks, without any other human interaction?

I don't believe man was made to be alone...but I do feel that I've grown to be more of a loner these last couple of years..in that I'm not that unhappy being by myself, and I've learnt to appreciate alone time. still, we all need companionship, and people to talk to right? perhaps I'll think differently when I'm a little old lady who's lived a long satisfying life.

oh yes and pirates 3 wasn't bad:) I prefered the first 2 but this was still entertaining..I guess anything with johnny depp wouldn't be all bad:)
