Dream of silver screen quotations

I was driving around the other night with no destination in mind when I got a call from my mom at work saying that it was a really slow night at the hospital and if I wanted to come in for a few hours to visit it would be a good night for that. So I headed to the hospital and went to the nursery. I spent a few hours feeding newborns and hanging out with my mom. Then around 2 am the lady who was in labor gave birth and I got to be in the room and observe it! Sure, we told the patient I was a nursing student, but she didn't mind that I was there. Plus, I think when it's your 3rd kid you could care less who is there. So i was standing quietly in the corner trying to stay out of the way and be invisible when one of the nurses asked me to come over and help her. I did and she said "Here, hold the patient's other leg back because we don't have enough people to do it." So I did! I was freaking out because I didnt want to screw up. The doctor had just come in from home and the labor had progressed so fast that he didn't even had time to change so he was wearing a polo shirt and a floppy hat and had barely gotten his scrub boots on. He was a little intimidating. So i got to see the birth right up close. The chord was wrapped around the kid's neck too so the doctor had to cut it and the kid had to be put on the bag that they do to babies who have trouble breathing. It was scary, but kind of what I expected a birth to look like. Painful! I'm not looking forward to going through labor and having babies in the future, but I don't think seeing what it looks like with stop me. Anyway, it was very interesting.

Yesterday, my family and I met my roommate Nana in Chinatown to celebrate her graduation. She's going on a month long trip to England, around europe, thailand, and to australia. Lucky girl. I think that would be a really fun thing to do after graduation. Except I would probably go to England, Ireland, Scotland and then around Europe rather than Thailand or australia. I guess I better start saving now. haha.

I've been home for a while now and have soaked up about as much relaxation as I can handle. I'm usually a busy person and I like it. But I'm in the mood for a drive down the coast to Santa Barbara. Maybe when more people come home and it warms up, it'll be time for a beach trip.
