After 16 weeks of living in Blackburn, my time is up. Bizarrely, I've had a great time. I really didn't expect to... but it's been a blast, and I've made some great new friends and dare I say it... I actually can see myself as a doctor now. Which is saying something, as I was pretty sure I was going to quit when I started this final year. So a big thanks to the doctors who I've worked with over the past few months - especially Munro Donald, Damien Lynch, Jenny MacDowall, Annalise Brown, Kate Hooks, Ash Dharmalingum, John Brockbank & Adam Matson.
My time in Blackburn has really made me think about where I want to do my Foundation Years, and also what I want to do after that. I've actually ended up realising I quite like medicine... so I'm now really looking forward to my elective because it should help firm things up!
As for my first job, I'll be ranking my choices in a few weeks, and assuming I'm in the NorthWest, my favourite jobs are in East Lancs, Blackpool, Bolton, Barrow and Rochdale, but there's still a lot to think about. I really want to have a psychiatry block, minimal surgery blocks, and ideally some paediatrics. I really really don't want Trauma and Orthopaedics. Let's see what my score is in January!
And so I've said goodbye to Blackburn but I've hinted at other losses thhis weekend... well it has not been a great time where TV talent shows go. Same Difference came third in The X-Factor Final, whilst Gethin Jones was knocked out of Strictly Come Dancing on Sunday. Oh well... I'm not bothered. HRNK! What a lie, I was pretty gutted. My friend's sister who I've never met was worried about me... so I think my recurring reality TV obsession might have reared its head.
Anyway, here are some videos of them to remind me of the good times! Annoyingly, "I Don't Feel Like Dancing" keeps getting deleted from You Tube's Same Difference repertoire - but for the moment, there are enough people uploading it that it crops up every now and again!
I wonder if SD will be cheap enough by September so I can book them for my birthday?! NAd then I could have a "My Super Sweet 16th... well 25th" type tantrum if I can't have them.
Breaking Free
Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now
And now for some of Geth's finest moments...
Waltz - "If I Were a Painting"
Salsa
And they're all on the BBC website which is alright... but more of Geth please. And because they haven't...here are some of mine...
PS - If you see this woman in the street, or perhaps warbling at the top of her lungs somewhere, feel free to maybe trip her up or throw something at her. If this makes no sense to you... read here...
