Default Very first placement on delivery suite

Well, as the title says, i did my first placement on D/S last night, have been asleep alllllllllllllllllllllll day and im back tonight!
I witnessed 3 births, did bps (need practice with them) and palpated tummys, was very tired after the shift and my 40minute drive home was terrible, nearly fel asleep driving on motorway- not good...
My mentor said its normal to witness about 3-4 them get hands on, so will have to see what the night brings!

(mentor is really lovely by the way, was so worried about not having a nice mentor)
