Being productive

I wrote a whole 600 word paragraph today, (more than I've done in the past month) and I'm feeling pretty good about it, also decided to try and do two weeks worth of washing in one go today...That ended badly with my bag slitting while walking back and me scrambling to pick it all up again. Serves me Right I suppose. only 4 weeks left of placement, this is a good thing as my mentor is slightly crazy due to her pregnantness and therefore at times a tad grumpy.

Note to self must learn how to spell eczema because every time I do a booking interview i spell it wrong and look like a complete idiot. My mentor is quite quickly now pushing me to do things, I enjoyed it when I could sit in the corner, smile and think about whats for dinner. Where as now I actually have to use my brain, write, give advice and generally avoid looking like I'm panicking when I'm asked a question. I've decided that midwifery is acting. With every new lady that walks in with a baby you must act like it's the most exciting thing in the world. Which it is, for the first 1000 times you do it. After that every baby starts to look the same and you end up repeating the same advice you've already given about 50 times before. Don't get me wrong I enjoy it but it gets a bit repetitive at times. Bring on labour ward placement in the summer, I'm already getting excited for that now, but first back to the job in hand. Writing this essay...
