Hi guys welcome to the very first "this week in Matthew world" a new segment in my blog. I will do this every Friday. On Monday I didn't go into school but I went to my first aid course in St. John Ambulance. This week we got to work in an ambulance. My friends there Robbie and James didn't go because Robbie was doing stuff for his brothers birthday and James because he was "Dying". The first thing we did was take out and put back in the ambulance trolley. It was FREEZING! What happened to our warm September weather? Then after that we brought all the stuff from the ambulance into the hall and we learnt how to make the bed go up and down and how to make it into a sitting position. Luckily I was used as an example and got to lie on the trolley for a while which I have to admit was very comfortable. I was a bit self conscious about my socks because they smelled quite bad an were pink. Then we just went through all the other stuff in the ambulance.
On Tuesday us transition years got to experience a great day in St. Vincents Hospital. It was a great few hours of lectures from different medicine related careers such as nursing, medicine, nutrition, pharmacy, occupational therapy, social work and physiotherapy. It was very interesting and the lecturers had very different personalities like the occupational therapist was very happy and the pharmacist was very boring. After school Cormac, Robbie and I went to the schools girls basketball teams match in Tallaght. Our school won 21 15 which was very low scoring. Our team got very emotional and aggressive near the end, except for louise who had an open basketball but apologised to a girl who had fallen over.
On Wednesday, I had film studies and we did a dialogue scene from the film Juno. We did the scene when Juno's going to get an abortion and she bumps into a girl from her school called Su Chin. Two girls from our group weren't there because Pelin had injured her ankle in the basketball match and Marsha had changed classes unofficially so I had to be Su Chin while Ruth was Juno. It was fun but I couldn't do my Asian accent because it sounded stupid. After school I had musical rehearsal which was fine I didn't really do much.
On Thursday, we had our last SPHE class with Mrs. Carter. In it coincidentally we watched Juno. We didn't get to see the end but we saw most of it. After school I had another musical rehearsal just for the guys. It was funny with Will and Tim. It was only 50 minutes long so I was able to take the dart home with Rhona and Cormac.
Today's Friday and not much has happened yet except for that the samples I ordered for my mini company arrived. So that's it from " this week in Matthew World".
