here i come to save the day
woooo, i passed. i am now a qualified first aider with a certificate and everything. i was extremely nervous for the exams, much more than i usually get for anything else. in the end it was really important to me to be able to do all the things to pass and i have decided that i would like to keep up this new found skill forever now. to keep the qualification you need to do a refresher course and take another exam every 3 years.
the course was really great and we had an excellent teacher. i feel a bit disappointed to be going back to normal phd stuff after that week. there is so much to do though and i’m sure people will be demanding results for things soon so i will have to work to pre-empt them. i also feel sad that i will probably never see the people i did the course with again. it was only 4 days but it was an intensive course and we spent a lot of time getting up close and personal with one another when practising our head-to-toe checks or recovery positions or bandaging. we all got on very well, but then we had to really.
i have just finished reading harrypotter. i really liked it, but it was sad. and i feel sad that i have finished it too, like with any book/film that was really good. so this weekend i just feel a bit sad, with nothing really to be sad about.
