… so it seems that i’ve worried some prospective student midwives on facebook. Which I didn’t mean to do. Or maybe I did? I don’t know… I’m trying really hard to remember last year & how I really felt at this time. I remember thinking that intellectually, I was in the doldrums. I had all my offers (not at this point, but by May) & had all my paperwork submitted. I was just ticking off the days to (a) go to the Caribbean & (b) start The Course. It was a lovely summer & I spent it in an air conditioned warehouse flogging overpriced car insurance! The joy!
& now, here I am, a year later, with 3,000 words to magic up in the next 10 days, on a topic I know nothing about. There is a Pinard’s on my kitchen worktop & an old fetal scalp electrode on my windowsill (top tip: pop an orange in a tight sock & practice attaching the FSE with 2 fingers). I am resting my feet on a pile of books & journals - specifically:

God almightly, I honestly have nothing to write about - I just have to write this bloody fucking essay.
