  14. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    Personally, I would object. Being bathed by a peer and being bathed by a professional in a hospital are totally different. It sounds like your gut instinct is telling you not to and don't let ANYONE...

  23. A weighty issue

    I don't think it has anything to do with being relaxed, it's just that being busy and working wierd hours you don't eat a balanced meal. You could be busy and eat very little but if its the wrong...
