Disney, CPR and the rest of my week

This week has been busy but fun. Last Friday night, I was dressed as a cross between the girl from Tangled, an Incredible, someone from High School Musical and a princess. If you haven't worked it out already, it was Disney night at Pathfinders. The best bit was probably watching the transformation from ordinary teenage boys to Disney princesses that happened during one of the games. That, and singing along to Disney songs all evening.


I then went on a first aid course on Saturday, where I learnt lots. I think there's a new test to see if you're an optimist or pessimist – you can do chest compressions to the beat of “Staying Alive” or “Another One Bites the Dust” - I think it says a lot about the first aider which one they choose...


On Sunday, I did a talk in my home church about my time abroad. It was hard, but I'm glad I did it. I realised just how awesome my little sister is when I got choked up at the very end and she came up, gave me a hug and then carried on reading from where I got up to. (Also it's really funny if you watch it back on the recording because she's too short to be seen over the lectern so just sounds like a voice!) However, the highlight of Sunday was definitely welcoming back Paul from his 3 week trip to CAR :)


I've been out and about the rest of the week. Again, I have that feeling like I haven't actually been at home that much. Only to sleep and occasionally eat - oh and watch The Big Bang Theory of course!


I have another really busy week coming up so I'm hoping that things go to plan, I run on time (like that's going to happen) and I can have as much fun as I've had up until now. I've managed to catch up on assignments and my uni application seems to be coming on ok. Plus I had time to Skype my friend in Spain and I went to the second week of an Alpha course, so I definitely can't complain that my life is boring.


If you're reading this and haven't watched the documentary this week on a midwife working in CAR, I would definitely recommend it. You can watch it on 4OD and it's one of the episodes of “Unreported World” called “The Jungle Midwife” - the lady in it is incredible!
