give you my analysis

[fahye]

The wind is howling up a gale outside, it's fantastic, I'm sitting here with a surprisingly good $9 bottle of wine wondering if everything will be swept away in the night and I'll wake up in Oz.

I'm also sorting photos for use in the heist AU -- basically, from here on in it's just going to be ALL LONDON PORN, ALL THE TIME. And it's making me ache for the city; making me even more determined to move there one day. I just want to be able to walk around it whenever I like, so that the famous sights become familiar and the unknown sights become beloved. I love Sydney, but it's not where I want to belong: it's a little too hot, a little too fast, a little too young.

Time to send some inquisitive emails to the London hospitals where I'm thinking of applying for electives, I think.

I KNOW

Damn medical licensing system. By my best calculations I will be qualified as a specialist when I am somewhere in the vicinity of THIRTY. I will just have to do as many elective terms and overseas rotations there as I possibly can.

:( That is no good at all! I HOPE YOU CAN SPEND AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF TIME LONDONWARDS, there really is no place so special (it says, like the enormous hypocrite it is, as it plans how best to be in places that are not London)

Hee! I guess nobody wants to spend their whole life in one place. And I know I want to spend SOME time in Sydney, but London is on the list for a good percentage of my habitus time.

Yay! London is a good place to live, I think. I've always wanted to live in England, but teaching is one of those jobs that doesn't cross seas very well.

Is it complicated to be a doctor in London?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is. They don't accept overseas-trained graduates into their basic medical training positions; basically you have to qualify as a specialist Fellow of a College and then either hope your qualification counts in the UK as well (some do) or sit the Fellowship exam of the equivalent British College as well (expensive!). As far as I'm aware, anyway.

Ugh. Why so hard to move to, Britain? On tv it always seems so easy! They have American police, American doctors, I'm surprised they don't have an American President.

Stupid gorgeous London.

Just marry someone!

[girl-wonder.livejournal.com]

I should! And our children would have little tiny adorable accents. I would name one.... I don't know Elizabeth and the other George.

Sadly, if it's this hard to find an American boyfriend, I imagine the British are much harder.
