... To the Rescue!!
Saturday was a very good day for me. I am a Zoology student so am very interested in the well being of animals and wildlife.
I have volunteered to become a marine mammal medic and the course to train me to do so was just £90 so if your interested I would definitely recommend it!!
The day started off at 9:00 am with theory lectures including the anatomy of marine mammals and distributions etc. After a break, we had another lecture, on first aid for dolphins and whales. this was followed by a similar lecture for seals.
Once the morning theory lectures were completed, then came the fun part. We spent the afternoon rescuing (fake) dolphins, whales and seals. It was a really good experience and I am now a qualified marine medic.
For the sake of the animals I hope I will never have to be called out to a rescue but if any do happen to become stranded in my area, its nice to know that I can help and offer my services to aid the animal.
If anyone (in the UK) would like any information on this course then just let me know :)
Thanks =]

Well Hello There!
Well this is my first post!
I have had this Blog for a while now but have never actually used it, so today is the day!
However, the first thing that needed doing in order for this to be remotely successful, was to style it. As you can see I am pretty crap at that as it goes... so template number 3, here you are.
Unfortunately I couldn't make a decision over whether to go for cute and girly pink, or the less cute and girly (but some how very attractive to me) brown, so I did the logical thing to do in any situation when a decision can't be made....
I FLIPPED A COIN!
.. and not so girly brown, here you are :)
and what better way to describe my reasoning than this picture!
Now the only descision left for me me to make is what to blog next... hmm
leave me with that one.. I don't think a coin will help!
see you soon!
