Benicassim Festival

Well after 4 days of fantastic live music at the Benicassim festival, the party is drawing to a close tonight. We have seen some fabulous bands - Arctic Monkeys, The Horrors, Muse, Kings of Leon, The Rapture, Wilco, Albert Hammond Jr, CSS and The Hives being some of the best. The Hives show was totally mental and very entertaining! Muse were their usual epic and totally brilliant selves, and Arctic Monkeys were just cool - definitely want to see them again. We were really disappointed with BRMC though, who we had been really looking forward to seeing - they were pretty shambolic. The sound was terrible and they were all over the place. There is a big beach party tonight to celebrate the end of the festival, so we are going to head down to that later and check it out.

The weather has been fab (in contrast to what I hear about back home!), so we have been enjoying soaking up the sun in the day. Planning to visit Castellon tomorrow and have a look around. After that we are off to Valencia on Wednesday, so will post again then. E xx

OCSE's finished, holiday soon though!

Well a very busy assessment period ended this week, with the Sept 05 cohort having their OSCE's on Monday, and the phase 3 students having their OSCE's yesterday. They were two very intense days, not only for the students but for staff too! It was really nice catching up with the phase 3 students and hearing who has got jobs now, and what their plans are. I will miss them when they qualify next week - they are a great bunch.

Well I am off on my hols next week, and can't wait! We are going to the Benicassim festival in Spain (some great bands on - Muse, Arctic Monkeys, BRMC, King of Leon, Klaxons, CSS & tonnes more), then we are going to Valencia for a few nights, and then Barcelona for 9 nights. Should be fab - if we don't get too stressed with all the driving! Hope you all have a great summer too.
