A real white wedding

This Easter has been slightly busier than usual as I attended the wedding of Lucy pointer to Lee Camp.

Having rained all week everyone was praying for a little sunshine, however it seems mother nature had her own wedding gift up her sleeve. Yes that's right, not only did the sun come out during the afternoon but a thick layer of snow had settled overnight at the church, with more to come during the day to ensure it stayed nicely topped up for some photos.

I have to say that it seems the wedding went off perfectly (the only hitch being the marriage - sorry I couldn't help myself!). Lucy looked fantastic in her wedding dress as did Lee in his suit. After a modern and funny service it snowed again as we all threw confetti and then made our way to the reception. Following a delicious dinner and speeches the party started with Lucy dancing the night away in her dress.

It appears Lucy has got the fairytale she has always dreamed of. Congratulations.

P.s: Have a look at some more of the photographs from the wedding and hen night.

I Passed Finals!!

Woo Hoo!

Well those two words basically sum it up. I have passed my final medical exams and am now free to relax and enjoy my time until work starts in August.

Oh and about that.... I'm going to be a doctor.... hard work.... responsibility.... long shifts.... on calls.... ARGH!!!

I'm Free!!

Following seven years of study, loads of essays, coursework, clinical placements, jumping through hoops on the whim of consultants, the government and lecturers and at least three full months of solid revision my final medical exams are over. Providing the results are good on the 14th March I AM FREE!!!! Well at least for the next three weeks anyway.

Over the last six days I have managed to get through a three hour written paper and three clinical exams without going completely insane through the stress (yes I have only gone slightly mad). I now have to survive a week with the knowledge that a a bad result next Friday could ruin the next three months with yet more revision for the resits. However if it is a good result then the next few months will be bliss. Starting with a two week Easter holiday (phew), shortly followed by a six week medical elective in Nepal and then some very relaxed final teaching at uni before I start work in August.

Oh yes, and about that work that starts in August. Despite finding someone that really wanted to swap jobs with me, and a lot of unsuccessful persuading, the powers that be still said "No". It seems I am destined to spend yet another year in London commuting too and from the South....it seems things don't always go the way you want. It just means I will have to look forward to the year after.

Anyhoo...lets not dwell on the depressing....the exams are over!!! WOO!!!
