so considering changing the name of this blog.
this is my chosen procrastination right now.
I have begun my program at Birthwise Midwifery School in Maine. I am headed up to Maine, gaining reprieve from the heat, in less than a week and I have a lot more studying and assignments that I need to complete. Suppose I am almost on top of the assignments, aside from a wee paper .. that I have to do, find someone to recount a birth experience pre-1959.
I'm thinking i should change the title of this blog to "The Adventures of a (struggling) Student Midwife"?
I'm not really struggling, but being thrown into this whole school thing again is a rapid jolt to my reality.
Thank you, thank you that I have been blessed with this apprenticeship for the last year and that I actually learned and retained some important information in the process. I feel a bit ahead of the game in that regards, but trying to actually read all that I have to, while maintaining by duties as a student apprentice, especially to a midwife trying to open a birth centre! oh my the balancing I am trying to do.
Not to mention the fact I've had to move and am somewhat displaced, but I finally have almost all my belongings with me at the same time for the first time in 3 years! WOW. Really! and it all fits into this tiny room of mine. Not bad.
You should see the piles of books that surrounds me.
But I love it. I love that I have a client that calls me, that we have clients that befriend on on facebook and that are genuinely happy to see me.
I love being asked if I will be at their birth! Nothing would stop me...well, nothing aside from school now, sigh got to accept that one.
So, yes. That is what I am going to do.
Changing the title..maybe it will be the misadventures....
