The Diary of a Young Man

I woke up at 4am. I reached school at 5:30am. We started our duty at 6am. I was assigned on the baby on room 612C. I was anxious and happy at the same time. I was happy because I was the only student in the group to take charge on the care of an infant that day. I was anxious because of the future criticisms of the parents of the infant for me when I perspire profusely in doing bathing.

I bathe the baby at 9:35am. I was sweating a lot doing it. I am the only student nurse in the room and both parents noticed how I perspire a lot. There was a comedic scene when the mother of the infant ask her husband to wipe someone. The husband asked if he would wipe me off my sweat or the newborn. I was partially embarrassed but it is better than being ridiculed. Anyway, I was done bathing after 10 minutes. It is a good thing that other relatives arrived right after I am done with the bathing. I was saved from future embarrassment.

I also talked to one of my groupmates about something personal. I talked to her along with it and adviced things to make her feel comfortable and strong. I know she can do it. She is a strong woman.

We were dismissed at 2pm and I was doing good waiting for the grades we had on the previous rotation (Bangkal lying in duty). Mam DLS attended an immediate meeting at 3pm which pended our scheduled grade acknowledgment. At 5pm, the meeting was over and Mam DLS was ready for the group conference. I was not expecting a grade of 90.72 in her rotation. I was happy but a bit dismayed at the same time. I was happy because it was one of my grades in the duty period that were on the line of 9’s but dismayed because I was one of the bottom 5 of the group.

It is over now. I know that I did not performed excellently most on my job in the lying in clinic but I did well on all quizzes.

I returned home with Jezel and Ian with me. I reached home in a dark night of 7pm. I ate my dinner and fixed my self for tomorrow. I decided to sleep at 10pm.

I noticed that I gained weight of approximately 4 kilograms. It had influenced my sweating regulation since fat serve as an insulator but most studies had proven that fat had a little percentage of influence to cause diaphoresis. I am living the fatty life I had before but it is better than looking like a tooth pick.

Good night!
