today was good (and i'm only halfway through the day!)
i slept in and did my laundry
i went to vic markets..
i soaked up the sights and sounds..
i bought some much needed vegetables and fruits..
i people watched..
i bought brekkie/lunch and a coffee..
i went home..
sat on my beanbag, enjoyed the view..
read my new
jodi picoult book for a good 2 hours
while enjoying my coffee..
i can't believe that i'm actually halfway through my placement.. this placement has been fantastic.. (despite the fact that my supervisor is a he with a partner that's a he as well. hmm.) i've been learning alot.. and i actually want placement to go on for longer.. its good exercise (after monday i was and still am aching).. its meaningful.. its fun.. its what i wanna do.. the only drawback is that my clothes smell like baby now.. my sweaters have tiny bits of food stains.. and i know there's drool on the two shoulders of my sweaters.. ah well..
i realise what frustrates me the most during placement is when an infant cries, and i've no idea what they want/need.. and it becomes this pointless guessing game.. its heartbreaking almost, when you can't soothe them.. but then again, i feel such a sense of triumph when i can soothe them or meet their needs.. and i know i made their world kinder, happier even.. even if its just for those few hours..
