Disconnected child

Alrighty, so I do realize that it's been about 2 months since I've updated. But in my defense, I'm not all that apologetic. I have been so incredibly super busy that a lot of things have taken a backseat. I haven't even seen a really good friend of mine since before Christmas! Let me hear y'all say that ain't right.

However, right now I'm doing my clinical on the post-partum unit at the PLC, which means.... BABIES! Babiesbabiesbabiesbabies! And I have nothing but sincere admiration for all those mothers who have given birth, with pain medication or not. They all deserve multiple trophies for what they have to go through. I've had the chance to see a couple deliveries so far, and that was a real eye opener. For one lady, it was her third child, no pain meds, and that baby was out fast. I thought to myself, I could do this. Then, I saw a younger mom who was, well, a screamer. That was a little bit scary, and so I thought, hmm... perhaps it isn't as easy as I thought. In any case, I know I want to have children, and realize that in the end, the pain will be worth it. And I can always use it to my advantage when my kids get older. "Hey! You owe me! I went through 20 hours of labour and a lotta pain to get you out; you owe me big time".

I'm thinking this post is going to be a conglomeration of a whole buncha stuff. For instance, I never have gotten the chance to vent on the fact that my housemates decided to flush french fries down the toilet... the toilet in my bathroom! Seriously now, what's up with that? So yes, the toilet flooded, and stupid me offered to get maintenance to fix it, after our plunger turned out to be useless. However, I let it sit about a week, cuz I was just too darn busy. Finally, after they asked if I had contacted maintenance yet, I figured I would actually do something about it. I went over to my RA's place and borrowed their plunger. It worked better than ours did, so Tara the Super Nurse managed to fix the freaking toilet. Sigh... I'm almost done here. I'll be moving out at the end of the month, whether I'll end up staying at my parents place, or here in Calgary, I'm not sure. I still have to line up a job, and when do I have time to do that? Seriously, I can't wait for school and clinical to be done; I just want to rest!!

Speaking of, I should probably head to bed, I've got another twenty things to do tomorrow.
Until next time!
