Currently Listening Eye To The Telescope By KT Tunstall see related

Well, today is the second anniversary of my dad's death.  I must say, I'm doing better than I expected.  Haven't had a breakdown once...but the day's not over yet.    I miss him a lot, and often wonder if he'd be proud of me.  I see mountains or architecture, or see a movie, and think I should tell him about that and then remember that he's not just a phone call away.

School's incredibly tough.  Why didn't someone try to talk me out of this?  I'm enjoying seeing women in the clinic.  There's nothing quite like touching a pregnant woman's belly and having a baby kick you back.  I get to do that all day.  So that's pretty damn cool.  Things are working out okay at the clinic.  The midwives there are having trouble letting me do my thing- they hover a lot- and take over often.  There have been many days when I thought my head would explode.  But all in all, I'd rather put up with that and see patients than not be able to take care of women. 

I'm sorry to everyone that I haven't kept in touch very well.  I hope you can forgive me for not returning emails and phone calls.  I'm just keeping my head above water most days. 

Spring break's around the corner, and my mom's coming up to see me.  I have so much to show her.  I can't wait.  Also, it'll be nice to have someone shower me with a little TLC for a few days. 

I love and miss you all.
