Okay so I thought I’d take the plunge and give the blogging a go. I have quite a few months till my departure to Japan in September 2014 but I have to start somewhere (plus it kind of makes it more real… that I am actually going away!).
After deciding to apply for Paramedic Practice at University I thought this would be a great opportunity for me so here I am, beginning my exam revision, volunteering for St John Ambulance and attempting to practice Japanese on the side!
In being the ‘early bird’ applicant I’ve already had a few months to try and find ways to save/earn money- the most dominant being getting a job… I’d been living for too many a teenage year in the denial of having to earn my own way but thankfully enough I found a great job working as a receptionist. It’s a welcoming little Osteopathy Clinic tucked round the corner from my house, so I can’t complain about the commute! Can’t wait to get out there, every time I see blogs from volunteers already on their placements it makes me wish I could fast-forward in time to my own!
Till next time,
Alice
