Well, it must be exam time, the weather's too nice. Was contemplating sitting outside to work but have no sunscreen with me so that won't be happening. Am already pink enough, ta. There's an old train track that goes down right beside the harbour, it's a lovely walkway now and I'm half tempted to go for a bit of a walk.

Bad daughters run away to Cork and forget that both her daddy's birthday and Mother's Day are this weekend. Oops. But very glad I did run away. Not only have I got an awful lot of work done but I'm in a much better state of mind to sit exams. The extra year of experience has made a huge difference, things I found a little bit difficult last year are easy peasy now. Except foetal circulation, which my brain is refusing to understand for some stupid reason. I love anatomy, I don't get why I'm having so much trouble with this. Move on, do something else, come back to it later.

So far have covered all of pharmacology and breastfeeding, most of the adaptations to pregnancy and some labour and postnatal stuff. Fairly happy with how I'm going. Have an urge to do some unexpected outcomes of pregnancy and pre-existing pathophysiology now though, so seeing as I'm incapable of remembering just how babbies adapt to extra-uterine life I'll do that now. Mmm epilepsy! No pethidine for you, epilepsy lady! Have Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday to do sociology and research as well as glance over abnormal stuff again so not incredibly pushed about them right now. Home tomorrow at some stage. Then first exam Tuesday. Getting closer to Friday when at half twelve I get my life back again for a bit.
