...and the end of Freshers week
Hello,
Fresher's week this year has been similar to last year - I've got college grandchildren instead of children now (although unfortunately only one medic because the other one got a B in an A-level and didn't make it), and although I'm not on the Freshers' week committee this year, I've been involved with some of the activities. A general lack of organisation by those who were in charge meant that the parent's teas and the smoothie night fell to anyone on hand, so I've been pouring teas and making smoothies as well as helping with a Christian Union breakfast event. The slower pace of 0th week has given me time to get things done which are harder to fit in during term-time - I decorated my room with a couple of posters from the Oxford Union poster sale yesterday, went to see Pride and Prejudice at the cinema last night, and went blood doning today.
I'm still getting on with my project as well - the techniques I'm using for the practical side of it are improving and I'm starting to put the write-up into a style suitable for the article. This work has been interspersed with a bit of article-reading because I have a collection (beginning of term exam set by college tutors) coming up on my reading over the summer and my critical analysis skills. The collection has been set for Saturday afternoon but is hopefully going to be changed to tomorrow afternoon, because we'd like to spend the weekend looking around Cambridge before the clinical school open day on Monday (and since it's a 3 1/2 hr bus journey there, we might as well stay for a while!). I'll find out for certain at a meeting with my tutor in the morning.
