Counting down the days until my course starts... so excited!
We finally got the orientation email from the Mater - full of goodies and details and more excitement (my favourite word at this very moment :-)). They are providing breakfast, morning tea and lunch on the first day *my chin hits the ground*; the CEO of Mater Health Services, the Head of Nursing & Midwifery and the Head of Mater Private Hospital all give a short speech or presentation (I'll be rubbing shoulders, as Mum says :-)); we get organised into student groups (maybe new friends *yay*); the Mater Volunteer Service is going to give us a tour of the hospital (whether that means the entire complex or just the Private I'm not sure); and there's going to be a scavenger hunt on the second day. Is this going to be fun or what!!!
I have a timetable too (so very official :-)) and I'm even getting to know the bus numbers and routes - the train is OK as I've taken it many times but I've never been on a bus. Weird, but true...
Really looking forward to this!

Welcome
New on the blog?? Welcome to Black Velvet Shoes!
This is just a place for me to be a bit creative - Mother is an avid fan of blogging and has tried to get me to blog for ages, so here goes :-) - expect rants, raves, reviews... experience the opinions and reflections that is Black Velvet Shoes, or namely, me! (That last line sounds like an ad, I know :-))
Why the odd title, you say?? Well, it took me AGES to think of something to title my blog and anything I typed looked either corny or totally weird. This is the name I settled on. I really like shoes (unfortunately wearing them is another matter) and I have this pair that I'm training myself to wear - yes, that last expression makes me sound like I have training wheels, but seriously, one cannot simply step into a pair of six-inch heels and walk like a model :-) - and they are, of course, black velvet!! So in essence, the name is a wish...
Anyhow, enjoy, laugh, be "OK, that's weird..." - this is *drumroll* Black Velvet Shoes!!
