<#ann:Celeste has been saying for years that she is going to train as a nurse when she is older. She has studied as much anatomy as possible, spent hours talking to Minnie about plants, etc. So she is thrilled when Mrs. Black arranges for her to visit the hospital to shadow a member of the nursing staff. She talks about it for days, and everyone is sick of hearing about it.
The day finally arrives and Celeste leaves early in the morning, almost too nervous to eat before leaving. She returns just as dinner is ending, uncharacteristically quiet. She claims she is very tired, and decides to skip dinner in favor of just washing up and going to bed. <#court: Jeanne sneaks some food into her napkin and brings it up after dinner to see if she wants some. #>If anyone presses <#jonah: (and Ollie definitely asks her about it!) #>, she just says that the day didn't go quite as she had expected. If there revelries in the tower that night, Celeste does not join in. <#court: Jeanne skips revelries as well and either talks to Celeste, if she feels like talking, or just stays in the bedroom with her. #>
<#jonah: I think Ollie, having got the message that she didn't want to talk about it that night, would wait until the following day ask if everything was ok, and how the nursing day went. #> NeedsAnn
Celeste's fervor for nursing wanes noticeably in the next week or so. She continues to try to heal the other children when they are sick (which I'd imagine, with the exception of Erin, is very rarely given our genetics) and their small hurts and wounds, but she stops talking about doing it as a career. The next few months she seems a little lost, but gradually gets back to her normal. #>
Adding the Needs just so people know it happens.
