One Small Step for Womankind!

For the past few weeks I’ve been revising my bottom off so that firstly, I could complete my coursework and it’s amendments before the deadline, and more importantly… revise for my driving theory test! Woo! How cool am I?

I know I’m a bit ‘late’ compared to the rest of my year, because they all went and did theirs as soon as they could so that they could take McDonalds outings during their frees to fill up on chicken mcnuggets (and I am not actually joking), but I don’t mind . Last year I mainly wanted to get Jamboree and exams out of the way before actually starting to drive. (Mainly because I wanted to put it off as I was absolutely terrified.)

But thankfully, I passed! Woop! And so Mam helped me celebrate by getting a Chinese! Nom

So you’d better watch out! Because, soon, I might just be getting to a road near you .

Call Me Doctor. Doctor D.

Yesterday I went to the Mini Medical School Practical Session! Woop!

This ‘Mini-medical school’ was basically an event aimed at students who wanted to do medicine, and I think those who wanted to become nurses also benefited from this. I think it has spanned quite a few weeks with most of it consisting of lectures on Thursday nights.

Why did I go to this? I here you ask.

Well another student dropped out last minute, and I was the only one who had even a little bit of interest in taking her place. So I did. And it was incredibly cool.

There were a few work stations we had a go at and this included; taking blood (which I was quite impressed that I wasn’t squeamish about), delivering babies (where we watched an actual birth ) , anatomy and ultrasound (that was done on my neck, so I can now say I’ve seen my own jugular artery and vein), suturing (which was a little bit like sewing), ear and eye examinations (where I got to see an ACTUAL ear drum ), and life saving techniques, like CPR and first aid.

It was really really interesting, and an awesome way to start my Saturday morning!

This is something that I've literally just stumbled across and it's really struck me. Maybe I'm just of the sentimental sort but the idea of leaving little inspiring notes to help strangers who come across it, really feels so... emotive to me.

Tinkle, Tinkle, Tinkle

I’m a bit disappointed that, since the start of this school year, I haven’t had the chance to indulge in the things I really love due to the demands of getting a good education. I mean, you can fine well ignore school and act as if it doesn’t matter, but in the long term it’s going to come back and bite you in the bum. (And that won’t be a pretty sight!)

So I finally realised that school was taking over a little too much and I decided that I needed some ‘me’ time, (Even though that sounds horribly cheesy), and have a go on the old faithful piano - which is the actual love of my life, by the way, and the muse for my title.

This might have been the reason behind why I have suddenly lost the last hour and a half of my life.
