Spent all of today doing our first aid course. We've been split into two groups so there was six of us in our group. All theory and practising bandaging and stuff, but the guy could sense a stifled yawn like a metal detector... well it kept everyone alert. One guy randomly feinted about ten minutes in for no apparent reason. Small fit. he was taken to hospital and is OK, but still, made me very paranoid for the first half of the day and took great pains not to get dehydrated (as an empty 2L water bottle testifies) and not think about stuff that was TOO gory. I feel very much like I'd be much better at just phoning the ambulance or having it PRACTISED on me rather than actually have to do anything... ah well... time will tell, a lot of it was simply knowing the risks so that you could take steps to prevent them.
First day where it's been ALL theory, wasn't too bad for me, but others didn't like it so much. Apparently, and slightly worryingly, de ja vu and zoning out are both types of mild epilepsy... which is simply an "electrical storm in the mind" so i spent a lot of today NOT zoning out and constantly focusing on something. As a result I have 5 A4 pages of notes written down purely from memory... it's quite amazing how much you can remember if you actually pay attention... :D :D
Got a text from someone I met at Catalyst on Friday inviting me to a bible study tomorrow down in Newport. so that's tomorrow evening sorted as well. Not sure what else has gone on today... first hot lunch, (from the canteen) but it was just wraps so it wasn't even hot :( And my new room is interesting in the fact that i have very little room, but very decent roommates :D
