Finished up my preliminary ultrasound training today and can now make my way around the controls of my machine and actually see something that makes sense on the screen. We were run through the motions by a rather frenetic little woman who seemed to be flying off in every direction at once - made life interesting. I've been staying up the road from the venue and have to walk a couple of kms back and forth. Maybe it's where I'm located, but the restaurants and apartments in the area seem to be stuck in the 70's and deteriorating, giving a pseudo-third world feel without the razor wire fencing or glass embedded rock walls. The contrast of the Conrad-Jupiter Casino and Pacific Fair mall to the surrounding area is grossly apparent with plenty of pre-mix cans and beer bottles scattered through the parks and walkways. All in all it gives the place a rather trashy feel so I've been staying relatively close to home at my hotel and enjoying the facilities.
Jen and the kids have reported a relatively slow productive day on the schoolwork side of things with Cole managing a mere 6 words an hour or there abouts - astutely affirming his ability to procrastinate and sulk thereby delaying gratification - perhaps a good thing? I'm sure he'll eventually get with the program - the quicker you get your work done - the sooner you can do fun things. Jen sounded a bit burnt out by the end of the day yesterday - I'll catch up with her tonite to see how the last 24hrs have gone. I fly back tomorrow and get back into the clinic on Monday for another couple of weeks. Looking forward to being back with the wife and kids and out of this part of Oz.
