It's a big relief to be finally done and over with the dispensary assistant course. Well, at least for the classes, because there still is a workbook to accomplish and an assessment/interview to look forward to prior to receiving the certificate, which seals it all.
But, indeed, this is already a big step covered towards getting a certain Aussie qualification. Today was the second and final day of the weekend course. Seated in a classroom again with around twenty other women for 9 hours a day was, in a way, nostalgic. Most of my weekend "classmates" came from the far corners of Victoria, like Wodonga or Yarrawonga, the latter being some four-and-a-half hours drive away. Except for one, the lectures were not seat-warmers which, more than anything, gave us the opportunity to socialise on the side.

Getting up in the morning for those classes was quite a feat forme and my chef-cum-chauffeur, with our bioclocks set to waking up at around 7am. For this weekend, we --or at least I-- had to sacrifice an hour's sleep to make it before the first class at 8.30am. Oh, but thanks to the end of Daylight Savings Time today, I gained back that lost hour yesterday.
I guess the struggle had more to do with the sudden drop in temperature. While last week was still basking us in the 30s and high 20s, April's Fool had us yesterday when it greeted us with a cool breeze. Looks like autumn is finally making its presence felt.
