Thought i had better give an update as i have been so busy i just have not had the time, good news on the clinical skills exams front, got a 4 for both my exams, worked like a nutter revising till all hours...no more exams for me this year!!! Just finished writing a 2000 word essay, Friday was d-day and i managed to get it in on time, not sure how good it is but i did my best, well saying that it was not quite my best but pretty good, to be honest i have realised i am a last miniute dot come kind of girl, i just sit there procrastinating day afetr day knowing full well that my essay is sitting there and i should be doing it, but i find that when i am at home i just cant make myself do it.
My 2yr old daughter is the master of distraction and cannot be left to just amuse herself so i am constantly engtertaining her, its so hard and i get no help from the people who should so its all down to me, at the moment i have one last 3000 word essay due in in just over a week, i have to find about 15 references for it and i have only done about 500 words and 5 references.
But i just cant seem to motivate myself and i dont know why, i can sit for hours doing everything but what i should be. If something else can be done instead then it generally gets done first. No one can say i am not devoted but its like i am deleberatly going out of my way to make stuff hard for myself...
Anyway at the moment i am on a learning difficulties placement in Highgate and i have one week left out of the original four, it is great, not much actual nursing going on but the learners are fab, i have built up some fab theraputic relationships with some of them and will miss them greatly when i leave. I am a serial cryer so i can rest assured that i will shed a few tears, although ill try and save it till i am walking to the station so as not to cry and look like a plonker in front of them all. It can be crap being a pisces sometimes as im an emotional soul at heart and tend to wear my heart on my sleeve quite a bit, i could say that people fairly misjudge me alot of the time, as i am not always the brash confident cocky person that i put across...haha...
I cant believe that i have almost finished the first year of uni, it has gone soo fast, people said it would and i didnt believe them, but soon all being well i will be going on to my branch programme and learning about mental health and not just general nursing and i hope that i make some MH nurse pals or the following 2 yrs will be lonely ones for sure. Def going to miss a few girls from my class especially one of my best buds Emily who i also went to college with and socialise with all the time.
I shall try and update again soon, with all the best intentions life does get in the way...I shall try and be more disciplined..
I have started my 2nd year of being student mental health nurse; studying for an advanced diploma, whilst plodding along this thing called life... Posts may come in the form of student life, moaning, reflection or just plain crap talk... Hope you enjoy the ride with me..
