This Long Weekend...

The best long weekend ever, as far as I'm concerned. It's been brilliant, for the following reasons:
1) Boyfriend came up ^-^
2) Received good news about place on college course
3) Had a Red Cross duty.

Ok, so firstly my boyfriend came up (from now on I may refer to him as an international man of mystery, hehe) for Valentine's day. Someone actually travelled 550 miles to see me...why I'm not sure, but I was very chuffed to see him. The fact that he had a dozen red roses and a gift bag of extra wee prezzies didn't affect this fact...well, it helped, hehe. But in all seriousness, it was fantastic to see him again, and it was a pleasant surprise, especially when I thought Valentine's day was going to be pretty...normal. I've just spent the past three days with him, and this morning, until he had to leave to head back down south. Now it's put me on quite a downer, but I'll recover from it at some point. Anyway, a great big thank you to him, for putting up with me (and taking me out for my tea ^-^).

Secondly, to make Valentine's day even better, I went to see the woman in charge of the HNC Health Care course I'm wanting to do down at the college. Not only was it brief (therefore more time spent with mr I.M.M) but she said I had a place, as long as I was able to pass two highers at at least 'C' level. I can do better than that; I can pass five highers at at least 'C' Level, well, maybe four, seeing as music doesn't seem to be going too well at the mo. Ok, so it's a conditional, but hey, I'm confident, and this means that I'll be one step closer to becoming a nurse, therefore one step closer to progressing to become a paramedic. Woo!

Finally, I had a Red Cross duty today, covering a half-marathon from Kinloss to Lossiemouth. Despite the fact that I.M.M left this morning, and it was a brief good bye, the duty somehow lifted my spirits slightly. It was a good laugh, and all went well. We had a grand total of two casualties - both with blisters of considerably large sizes - and who had to deal with them? My partner in crime (she'll know who she is, if she ever reads this) and me. I left the lovely job of dealing with feet to her, while I rummaged in the bags to get the right stuff for the job, namely sterile pads and tape. There was a distinct lack of Compeed though...
I now owe her one, and so I promise the next time feet come into it, and we're paired up together, I'll deal with it. Yay.

Anyhoo, its quite late, and I'm quite tired. In fact, I may just fall asleep on the computer tonight. I guess that's what three late nights - with busy days in between - in a row do to you. Of course, it's still long weekend tomorrow. This means a lie in. Oh yes...
Good night.
