Resits & Bloggers

Has been busy this week with resit exams and OSCE's, so marking piling up!

Good to see more Sept 05 students starting to get ready for their PBM next week and customising and posting to their Blogs. If you do have any problems logging in please drop me an email ASAP, as remember you need to post a minimum of twice per week whilst on the placement. Emma

Students Blogs & Interpol!

Have been really pleased with the Blogs of the PBM students who have been out on placement a bit earlier than the rest - there are some really interesting & detailed posts which will make it a lot easier when they come to writing up their journals and putting together a poster.

On a social note, went to see one of our favourite bands on Monday night, Interpol, at the B'rum Academy. Was an absolutely great gig - they played loads of stuff off the new album plus old favourites like 'Evil', 'PDA' and 'Narc'.

Looking forward to the Bank Holiday weekend - hope the weather holds as we have a BBQ to go to on Saturday. Hope you have a great one too!

New number at KR

It is great being here at Ked Rd - life is so much simpler without all the to-ing and fro-ing between the DRI and KR! If you need to get in touch my new number is 01332 593070.

Settling in at KR

Well our move to KR went very smoothly, and I am already feeling quite at home here! Claire & I's new office is lovely, having fantastic views over to Markeaton Park and the Kedleston estate. There is still lots of activity on our floor as a whole as Pharmacy & Psychology are now moving in, so I guess it maybe a few weeks before it settles down.

Looking forward to catching some coverage of the Benicassim Festival that Martin & I went to on MTV2 over the weekend - see if we can spot ourselves amongst the crowds!

Back from holidays......

Well back home now after a wonderful 3 weeks away, and experiencing just a little culture shock! Great to see our doggies again though.

At work Dev House is full of crates, so not the most pleasant place to be! We are all just looking forward to next week and getting settled into our new accommodation on N2. Been checking all the students Blogs this morning, and pleased to see some great stuff. Looking forward to the PBM getting going properly in September and seeing lots more activity!

Barcelona

Hey There - bit longer than I thought before I have managed to post - too busy enjoying myself I'm afraid!!

Our stay in Valencia was great - fabulous hotel, wonderful hosts and great food. What more do you do need for a few days chilling after a festival!?!

We are now in Barcelona, staying in an apartment in the Barri Gotic, which is a cool area full of little boutiques, galleries, bars and restuarants, so enjoying checking them all out. We are also hanging out in an area called El Born (a few minutes walk away) a lot, for the same reasons! We are heading off to the Picasso museum this afternoon. We have been before, but there is an special photography exhibition documenting his life on at the moment, so we want to check that out.

Hope everything ok back home. Em x
