Last few weeks of University

Well I'm afraid it hasn't been the most exciting few weeks, especially after such a manic month travelling around here and there. It has come down to the last few weeks of being at Staffordshire University and to be honest I really can't wait for all the work to be finished. I am well and truely done with studying for a while.

I am currently in the process of writing an essay for the Earth Hazard module, and as you can tell (as I have resorted to updating my Blog) I am bored. It's quite an interesting topic, how local conditions have more control over the disaster potential compared to the magnitude of an earthquake. I'm pretty much there with it but hoping to finish it tonight then it's just the Scottish Fieldtrip report to do for Thursday. The enthusiasm has completely walked out the door so it's a real struggle to get it done. Not long now and then after the Spanish fieldtrip report is in on the 14th May, that's it! Finito! :-)

Results are due the 22nd June, I believe which so happens to be when I'm working up in the Peak District so hopefully I may be allowed to disappear for a hour or so to pick them up. Scary stuff!

Apart from the lack of work that I have been doing, I have just come back from Buxton (again) to complete a Remote First Aid Training Course which was really interesting. The amount of times that you would go for First Aid training and the worry that it's not sticking to your brain, makes refresher courses worth while. The day ended with a big incident which we had to deal with, we only lost Annie (the CPR dummy - RIP). And that's the main set of training sessions done with World Challenge now and on with the preparation and organisation for heading out to Bolivia. It's going to be neat trick going to graduation, moving out of Stoke on Trent back to Dunstable and pack for Bolivia in the matter of 72 hours. Fingers crossed it all goes to plan.

Well I'm afraid that's the excitement for me at the moment. I'm planning on disappearing to the Lake District around the 16th May for the week to go walking and wild camping. May need to find a couple of maps first but it will be a good escape. But now it's back to the Earth Hazards essay and maybe even an exciting trip to the library. Bad times...
