I finished the last day of my practical training (ok, it was just 500 hours total in my nursing home) before my exams. On Monday, it’s back to nursing school and the exams start in June with the written part. I’m excited when I am finally done with my retraining and get my RN license in September.

The written exams will be the worst part, lots of theory to memorize and unfortunately they are the very first part. I’m not very afraid about the practical exam in July and the final oral exam at the end of August - there’s a myriad of topics to draw, but I should have enough knowledge and communication skills to pass those. And more time to prepare. It’s unfortunate how much I neglect hobbies and everything else due to the exam period, but thankfully I begin to improve in terms of my mental wellbeing. Slowly, but steadily.

I also think I know now what happened to the BVWSC March letters - if my colleagues who live in the small town where I work are right, it’s not DHL who are to blame but stupid vandalism. According to them, the letterbox is now gone as it was in a very troublesome neighbourhood (who would’ve thought in such a small rural town?!?) and was often the target of idiots who put it on fire for fun. They told me the last known fire incident was at the end of February - which unfortunately matches up with the time I put my letters in. So it seems like everything was lost to a fire thanks to some morons. I always hated vandalism, but now I know for sure: if I ever send something important out again that I really, really want to reach its destination - I will only send it via post office. I will never understand why some people think it’s a good idea to harm their own community - be it destroying letterboxes, park benches, sculptures or worst of all public playgrounds. But unfortunately, it is what it is. Just sad about the wasted postage and soap samples, but thankfully no one was seriously harmed.
