    Can't be happy with my grades

    pockunit posted a topic in General Students

    They need electricity, I know that. My book is spitting out the new Oliver Sacks and we're getting along quite nicely, thankyouverymuch. How *are* your books? Have they been dusted recently? Are their...

    Question about home - birth infant assessment

    pockunit replied to bookwormom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Huh, we took ours in for what would have been the discharge visit at 2d. I'm surprised her mw didn't suggest the same thing. IRRC, that's when they did the PKU stick as well. Mine were all stuffy, but...

    Exercise, and plenty of it. Give your body a way to lose the stress and get a benefit while you're at it. Get enough sleep, even if it means losing out on a social life. Remember it's only 3 years....
