After a good weekend in Cambridgeshire with SCM (highlights of which include powerful worship, useful workshops and a v.lively game of Taboo) I am now back in lectures. I have sorted out what going on with the placements - I start next week in Neath and plan to cycle to the train station and catch the train each morning. I contacted my mentor this morning and she seemed nice, so hopefully, it should be alright.
Its strange, being a second year now. We've gone off into our separate branches, so all my lectures are child specific, which is much better and the lecturers all seem much friendlier. During a break this morning, we spotted a large group of people, which I would guess are the new freshers on our course. I was looking at the thinking - I wonder which one of them is now in my room in the student village? (all of the nurses accomodation is in one specific block in the village) Most bizzare.
Its also scary when the lecturers start asking you what you'd like to specialise in, once you've graduated. They then do the whole careers talk and get you thinking about what you need to do now, to be where you want to be in 5 years time. Its just scary. Its even scarier when many of my friends, who are older, are at that much further on in the 'finding the perfect job' process. Prayers go out to everyone who is struggling with the whole job issue.
