First aid duty: blow up balloons !!

*yawn*
so tired
seem to be fluctuating between bouts of hyper-wakefulness and hypo-wakefulness
was wide awake at Church today but at the moment i feel so tired and physically weak and unmotivated
i think once all these major assignments are over, a whole loaded will be lifted off, but exams will be upon me in no time, after all the assignments are done with.
such an awful exam timetable too ... eeeeewwwwww

had to go to a St Johns duty this morning, which was the most boring duty i've been to so far to be honest. it was at a pre-school family fun day at a school on pennant parade. like it was really good being there, such a wonderful atmosphere, and observing how parents deal with their young kids. took me a while to warm up to the kids, which was weird cause i normally really enjoy working with young children ... maybe cause i was quite tired. the previous duty i was on was an oztag event and there were so many causalties, that despite me being a probationary member at that time, i had to treat a number of injuries on my own. but this duty, the ONE casualty i treated during those 4 hours was someone who had stupidly cut herself whilst carrying out a most mundane task
that is, myself
the rest of the time, all i did was blow up balloons, decorate the makeshift tent, teach kids anatomy (was embarassing when an adult asked me where the spleen was on that 3D model and i was like yeh where is the spleen >.<), show people how to do CPR, cut my thumb, eat, chat
ahhh the duties of a first aider.

seriously, it's every first aiders desire, to not see anyone get hurt
soooo all in all, was quite a wonderful duty =)

*groans*
so much to do so i better shuddup
what to do first hmmm

yucky draft timetable, hope they change it!
three morning exams on three consecutive days, followed by two exams on the one day ... and those two exams are for two 6-credit-point subjects, which means that if im not feeling well that day, i'd be stuffing up half my semester (each semester has 24 credit points worth) >.<
