Pop my cherry

I am a blog virgin.

Correction: I was a blog virgin. I've just set up a blog and written a description. I'm writing my first post. That's got to be the blogging equivalent of fellatio, surely? When I actually press post on this, I'm going to count myself a put-it-about blog ho. I hope it's good. Does the earth move?

Anyway, enough babbling. This blog is going to serve as my reflective diary whilst I'm training to be a midwife. What I do, how I do it, why I do it, what I should have done better, what went fantastically, and above all, how I feel about it all. They're big on feelings, my lecturers. It can get a little touchy-feely-vegan-hippy-commune-karma-yoghurt-weaving in my lectures occasionally. But anyway, we're supposed to keep a reflective diary as a learning tool. And today seems as good a day as any to start, as it was my first day in clinical practice placement. Mostly paperwork etc, but I have the blog ready to go when I actually do something. Hopefully that will be tomorrow.
