WELCOME to year 3... ever so exciting year 3... now I'm based in Weston-Super-Mare, more specifically Weston General Hospital... WSM is definitely a lovely place, very very picturesque and very conducive place for education... The night life in WSM is quite different; quiet and serene. The kind of night life that I love. I spent quite a few nights just laying down in front of my house (a doctor's

Started at 915 am, went to my GP practice; about 1200 noon went to Frenchay Hosp.; and ended up doing our presentation until 815 pm. Waited for a bus to come along. It was actually 830-ish when I actually managed to caught a bus. Sounds like a long tiring day, but believe me, it wasn't. Not with the

Real Peace of Mind Only Possible with Hamas
