apologies for the delay in my replies guys.

I'm not using that post office again the man was so grumpy and rude and he wouldn't weigh any of my letters even though i said one was heavier. I hope you all get your letters without any added costs. Bloody rude git.

I haven't updated for a long while, alot has been going on here both good and bad.

The good is I got my results. In my exam I got an A2- I am shocked and excited, my goal when I returned to uni was to get my first A at uni. I didn't expect it this semester as it was so hard, it has proved to me that I am smart and I can achieve if I work for it. My confidence has been boosted and I have more faith in my ability as a nurse.

I got a B2 in my essay. My goal now is to achieve an A1 (A*) in uni.

I have been on placements in theatres. I have been having the most wonderful experiences. My favourite has been the two weeks I spent in Gynae theatres, I had a brilliant mentor and I learnt lots about female anatomy, female surgery, theatre protocol, sterile fields and I even got to be a scrub nurse for a Total abdominal hysterectomy. the surgeon accidentally squirted local anaesthetic in my eye, luckily it caused me no problems, it was near the end of the surgery and I had to unscrub to wash my eyes.

I am now in main theatres recovery which is interesting, alot of waiting around to get a patient but when you get one there is alot to do. The lady I was working with today was impressed at my drug knowlege and it has spurred me on to learn more. I have a real thirst to learn about so much to do with nursing. Today I gave an injection. It was the second time I gave an injection. The same drug as last time, Clexane, it prevents DVT's. I was a bit nervous as I couldn't remember how to do it but the lady talked me through, she said I have a really good technique and I stick it in like a dart.

I have been out alot more, having fun and spending time with friends. I have been mainly hanging out with isabel and it is fabulous to be getting close to her again. On sunday I met Ali who is an LJ friend so now I have met three people from LJ. 

I have been shopping lots and have some new clothes and a new bag and several pairs of new shoes. I need to start saving again. My weight is remaining stable as far as I know. I havent been weighing myself but I still feel a healthy weight.

My iron is low again and I have been feeling tired and I think I have been suffering from allergies (either hayfever, to mum's cats or Issie's dogs)

I haven't been working whilst on this placement.

I haven't written many letters. Something terrible has happened but I wont go into it now. I just got my letter stuff out, I just bunged everything into the drawer.

I found a letter I wrote to Bobbi jo which I'll post soon.

Anna's letter came back minus the stamp so i'll post that again.

I started Dani's letter over two weeks ago and plan to finish that.

I don't know what came in since my last update but here is what I have to reply to
Dave
Lauren
Chelle
Sarah- Thank you for the flip flops and CD's

I have started my placement in theatres and after a not brilliant start I am really starting to love all the opportunities i have there.
