Ah, poor neglected blog

Hello, sorry for not posting (again)!   I've been busy.

My course is going well.  Yesterday I found out I scored 95% in the assessed practical, the highest mark in the class!!  I couldn't believe it and at first thought it must be a mistake.   So that was pretty amazing.  I've also got a distinction in my Chemistry lab report and in my first Chemistry assignment. Last Friday I did a timed biology essay and I am fairly confident I got a distinction there too.

So far, so good.  I am on track.  In fact I'm about a tenth of the way to success already!

I also have got a volunteer job at a hospital in the Dietetics department.  I know that it's vital to get some vocational experience as it really helps convince universities that you know what you're letting yourself in for.  I had terrible trouble getting a place but with a bit of luck and a lot of persistence, I start next Thursday.  I am the first volunteer the department has ever had!  I hope to be a useful member of the team and can hardly wait to get started.  These opportunities are like gold dust.

Unfortunately all this going on has left me with little time for blogging.  I need to focus and get on with the task in hand.  Today was an inset day so I have been busy with Amber and her friend all day (repaying the favour of her mother having Amber after school every week!)

So now, I must work.  I have another lab report, my UCAS personal statement to rewrite, some notes from yesterday to write up, some photos to print from yesterday's dissection and some reading to do for biology.  And if I have any spare time, I could do with getting some revision together.  It never ends!
