It’s that time of year again, placement returns. I’m too tired to go into any detail so i’ll make this short. I’m in a psychiatric rehab day centre. Its actually quite nice. Work is easy, and its a lovely place. The people are lovely. As far as placements usually go, it’s almost relaxing.

Clubs & Societies Ball on Thursday, should be good fun, especially after a week of placement. Better find a dress though.

Room _finally_ organised. As a result I have regained some of my sanity. Despite obtaining a pretty awful flu in the last week, I seem to be much happier now that I have some structure to my weeks again.

Two weeks placement in the neo-natal unit starting the 14th.

To be continued….

Germany

Home. Great fun. First time in Germany, CeBIT was an experience in itself. I managed to keep my wonderful tradition going - just when I thought i’d gotten rid of any illess. Bang. Gastroenteritis on my second night in Germany. Several others caught it aswell so I wasn’t the only unlucky one. I’m officially able to eat again though. I’m also back overdosing on vitamins. I knew forgetting them in Germany would end badly. Several people have asked me to relive what happened in Germany or asked what I liked best etc etc. I actually don’t have the energy just yet to even think about it. CeBIT was great, Germany was good. You’ll find out more when I care enough to recount it.

Its scaring me slightly how quickly the year is progressing. Easter break next week. Then i’m on placement for a month. Then exams. And thats it. I’m done with 2nd year. For once i’m really looking forward to the summer. Not quite sure why yet.

Psychiatric placement for first 2 weeks of placement- they’re going to _hate_ me. I know nothing about that kind of nursing. Nothing.

Have a lot of my friends home at the moment - nice to have them around again. Another home soon enough too.

P.S - My CT scan results came back fine. Nothing I can’t live with. :)
