Wednesday afternoon wisdom

The most beautiful bag in the world

Birthday gift to me from myself??? Well, yes maybe...
...Accessorize here I come!!!

Tired

13 hours of sleep...and I'm still tired. I've tried to study all day...but I've nodded at at least one time on every page.
It might be because of the fact that I'm tired after the Berlin trip...It might be because my brain and I is over stressed about the upcoming 4, 5, 6 weeks...it might be because of the weather (snow again...)

Berlin

I'm soon off to the airport. Being picked up at 4 am. The flight to Berlin is due at 6.30. Early start.
In Berlin we (me and I and some others from Uni) will attend an International forum for quality and safety in health care.

I'm excited, even tough there is something putting a shadow over it right now.

See you Saturday again.

Bad result

Oh! Fuck wank bugger shitting arse head and hole!

(I borrow this quote from Billy Mac in Love Actually tonight...kind of fits right now)

Baby dry your eyes - day

Today the sun is shining!!!

• I had an interview for a summer job at the hospital at 10 am.
  
• I had my new spring shoes on.

There is hope for changes!

On my way to the hospital, with the sun warming my face I got true spring feelings. And I got to think of Marit Bergman's album Baby dry your eyes. One of my favourite albums.

Spring and Marit Bergman goes hand in hand and it makes me think of that spring I spent in London. I listened to that album almost everyday in my CD-player on my way to work. I can still remember where I was walking to each particular song:

The intro played on my way down the elevator, I turned at the Café Nero corner in the beginning of Tomorrow is today, and when Let's just fall in love was playing I was usually somewhere around the Serpentine in Hyde Park.

I wish I could meet the spring in London...

Song of the day - You're my world

A real feel-good song with Emilia from last nights Melodiefestival.

Spring shoes

The zipper on my black leather boots broke yesterday when I was about to go home from work. Luckily I had adhesive tape in my pocket and could get them on place under the jeans after some juggling.

This little mishap led me straight to town on a mission to buy a pair of new spring shoes! (Yeay! Me like!)

Here's the result! Very comfy, but a bit pale together with my winter skin at the moment... (that will of course change when spring and sun arrives!)

Today I Ioved it...

Life is a roller-coaster...

After a rather disappointing start of the week and my clinical placement period I finally had a really, really good day!
Me and C had a whole day together with the breast nurse at the hospitals breast surgery. The nurse was amazing with the patients...And the doctor as well.

I got the chance twice to be in the room (after the patients permission of course) when the doctor gave the woman her breast cancer diagnosis.
It was very valuable for me as a student to participate as an observer in this meeting between the doctor and the patient but it was also very physically challenging. It's hard not to get too emotional when the patient does.

I also participated in meetings between the nurse and patients after breast surgery/breast removal.
The most emotional moment was when a woman for the first time after the breast removal looked in the mirror together with the nurse.
Both me and C had a hard time keeping our tears away. But the nurse was so great at this moment and I'm so glad I got the chance to experience it.

...early night tonight, I'm exhausted!

Clinical Placement - Not my cup of tea

I'm sorry. But I don't think it's fun to be out on clinical placement.
I hate it.

I thought this second day would be better than the first, because the first is always a complete mess. But no, my tutor was sick...so who would take care of me??? No-one really knew...After half an hour I got a new tutor for the day...thank God I'll have the same tomorrow...otherwise I would have called in sick as well.

My schedule is still not completed, I'm missing two days...and I want to have it all clear. But it seems like a bit too much to ask at the moment.
I hate when I can't make up plans and I hate when I don't have things under control.

Now I need to do the dishes and have myself a good cry (I really need it) before I go to bed.

True happiness

March weather

It's snowing in Linköping today...tiny snowflakes that melts as soon as they touch the ground. Almost like rain...

I'm going to I's place later and I guess I will have to put my rainwears on.

Sunshine...give me sunshine!!!

Well, at least it hasn't been minus degrees for a few days now. Always something I guess.

It's funny how the weahter affects people...right now everyone is a bit touchy and grumpy. Including me. 

Everything feels hard, even the easiest task feels like a massive mountain to climb. 

   

Tomorrow afternoon I start this semesters clinical placement period. This time I will do my 7 weeks on KAVA (a surgical emergency treatment care unit) at Linköpings University Hospital. I will also spend four days at the surgical ward. Hopefully I will think of this as very exciting. It's always a little hard the day before you start because you now how much energy the placement period takes from you. So many new impressions. So much new knowledges to deal with, and you always have to be at your very best, at the top of you performance. It's a true challange.

Hopefully I will have a less stressful experience this time when I don't have to commute. And thank God I don't have to feel lonely and sad in a shabby room that belongs to the hospital of Motala. 

There's no place like home and your own bed!

Time to get some things done again...

xx

Sunday = study day

Goodmorning... or maybe it's a bit too late for that...

Anyhow...I've just finished breakfast.

So now it's time to get some schoolwork done. Boring on a Sunday...but in the world of a student there is no such thing as a completly studyfree weekend...and since I had some other things to do yesterday, like making a birthdaycard for S and working on mom's birthdaygift, today is the study day. 

I've placed myself in the sofa with the computer in my lap. I can't be bothered to take out the books so will do my research on the internet...Wikipedia here I come!

(Victor Charlie Charlie to Mike Sierra Foxtrot. When are you coming home? Over and out.)

New things

I am a little short of time at the moment. As always...so much to do and so few people to do it for me!
And most of the time I am wandering around wishing I was somewhere else...like in Australia where sis and E and W is at the moment. I envy you.
At the moment I make little trips in the snow to the tanning salon so that I can have my new purple dress on Thursday evening without looking like a dressed up ghost.

Two weekends ago mum and dad came up with the shelf I bought and to help me paint the walls in the flat. The result was very satisfying!

Song of the day - Hey there Delilah

Haven't put a song of the day in for long now...so here is a beautiful song that I really like listening too.
Plain white T's with the song Hey there Delilah. Enjoy it...
