Today was the second day back to class, and I had my Maternal-Newborn Clinical. It was just at SEMO today, not at the clinical site. I did not give myself very much time to get ready this morning, I got up at about 7:40 and left at 7:45. These early classes might actually kill me.

I got to class just in time, and it was in room 101, a new room. And it was with Ms. Dudley, a kind of crazy girl. We learned about Ballard scores, assessing babies, stuff like that. After a couple of hours, I had a phase where I kept drifting off to sleep. Luckily she finally let us have a break and I went and splashed some water on my face. Then we moved rooms up to room 210 and she did a pelvic exam on a manikin. I got chosen to turn on the lights, wow. Then we went over medications, and I think that was about it.

After class I went to Nana's, played some Miles Morales, watched Slushy Noobz Virgin River video, and slept for a couple of hours. I woke up to my mom calling me and telling me that this guy that she works with, Kyle, was going to be coming over here and looking at the floors. I guess he was needing new wood floors and might get some from my dad.

So about 10 minutes after I woke up, this guy shows up and it was a little awkward at first, just because, who is this guy? He looked at the floors, we talked about nursing and stuff, and then eventually my dad showed up and then my mom showed up. So they took over from there. My mom also brought me Taco Bell, yummy. And then my sister showed up because she was dropping off something she got me, a Snoopy badge reel. So that was cute. So the whole family plus Kyle was there for a bit.

Kyle left after a bit and then we all left at around 6:15, and I went to work. Work was pretty slow tonight, transport wise. Rylee was there and I guess I'm going to be working with her more frequently now, because she said she's working Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. So that'll make it so there's barely any transports on my shifts, which I guess I'm okay with. I can use that time to study. But work went by really really fast, time-wise. I only had four requests the whole night, so you'd think it'd feel like a long time because I wasn't busy, but I felt like I was only there for half an hour, not four. So that was good. Rylee was like, "You aren't very talkative today, you only use four phrases." Like, yeah, I'm tired today, girl.

I went back to Nana's, ate my burrito leftover from Taco Bell, ate some Oreos, wore my retainer for once, and fell asleep watching Adventure Time again.

So that was my day, I guess it was alright, maybe a 4/10.
