Home again, home again

squeefulfishBack to my base hospital tomorrow. Have found out the codes to both the school and the room in which my locker is. This is good. What is bad is not being able to meet ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cartographer et al for pints this evening as not getting home till midnight is not good when I've to be up at half four tomorrow. Also working Thursday and Friday which is going to be interesting indeed, going to try heading home for the night instead of booking hostel. I've been finding of late that I can't sleep in the same room as a dozen other people, especially when people wander in at all hours and I'm up at half 6. And I like my bed, it's very close to the kettle and the microwave and the bedroom contains only me.
Only ten shifts over a month. This seems quite silly after the last bunch of placements where it was 8 over a fortnight, but the 10 are 13 hour days, excluding the commute of Doom.
Have tried on uniforms. Amazingly they not only fit but are a wee bit loose. Hooray! More of that please, though maybe not too much - replacing them is spendy. Must find the trousers now, haven't needed them since Naas and the bedroom is a mess of books, articles, empty wine bottles (thank younatural20! I'll put mead in them for you soonish) and mock crocs from Penneys.
Nini was at a dance competition today and came home with a trophy! First prize in the under 8s. I am very proud of her. Especially as her hand is still bandaged and sore and swollen. She's very very brave indeed. Trophy! Wow.
Now to find the little blue book of competencies, grab my steth from its hanger on the door and my competency documents for postnatal from the bookcase. And find a white bra that fits. Erk. Last midwifery placement of the year. I feel sad already at that thought. Roll on third year! I'm ready! Oh, and for anyone interested, the meeting that may determine the future of my academic career was on Thursday. Determine the rest of academic career because decisions made then will influence my choice on postgrad work. I'm growing fond of my copyright library, I have to say, though I'm not sure how normal it is to be looking into where I can do masters/PhD (eek!) at this stage of my education.
Dissertation next year. Must start thinking about what I want to do that on before thinking more on postgraddy work. Unlikely I'll go the taught masters route though, unless I take it into my head that I want to teach. Which is somewhat tempting.
Have poked agency again. Must start doing that paid employ thing. Holidays this year would be nice. Still no idea where I want to go, though. Just need to pick somewhere and then worry about the rest of the stuff associated with holliers. Still, the money from agency care assistant is quite nice, over two shifts I'd get the same as I used to get for a week managing the Little Shop of Horrors. Which is another reason I'm glad to be out of retail.
