My emotions are all over the place.

 
I cried a lot today. It was my last day at school, officially, I haven't been there for many weeks now and it's just the school's Open Day where everyone dresses up and spends the day being bored. I was vey bored. And not at all emotional. Sertiously. Nada. Bamforth said he liked my haircut. I like Bamforth. He can be sweet. Matthew didn't show his face, apparently he was proposing to his girlfriend but wtf I dunno. It was a crap day anyway. The highlight was getting a caricature done with Sophie. I'll scan that when I get it off her tomorrow (she's photocopying it for herself).

Anyways, I didn't cry a bit about leaving school. I had a miniature argument with my mumand then I couldn't stop crying. It's seriously all about Ben. Whenever I think about him it actually hurts and I hate it but at the same time I don't want it to go away. I think I may have found him on MySpace (omg I'm a stalker) but I'm not sure if it's him :-s. If Istart crying about it, I can't stop. I only cheered up for Doctor Who and I do feel better but then I think about leaning towards him as he explained stuff to me and it makes me want to cry again ;___; 

I was doing my Journey's End picspam and one picture made me think of the phrase 'happy days' and it just reminded me of Ben saying that when telling me about surgical stuff, and it made me depressed again. I miss him so much ;___; *blames hormones*

I miss Ben ;____;

DW : Ten/Rose {Breaking My Heart}
Did my last day of work experience today and I miss Ben so much! I got in a bit early today so I wouldn't miss the doctors going on round, and it worked, cos when I got there Christine said I was just in time to go on rounds with them. Ben was there, but not really with me. I was with this older consultant, who turned out to know my (sort of) friend Holly's dad. He asked me what school I went to and he was like 'ooh, I go to the football with her dad'. He was nice. Old. Chubby. Not attractive, but nice. Anyway, once we'd finished with the patients on M Ward, we were all milling about around the reception bit, where Ben had sat down, and Christine kinda put me under Ben's wing. When I'd originally seen him today, I thought he looked a little moody, but boy was I wrong. He is the nicest, sweetest, loveliest guy ever.

I walked beside him as we went with the other docs to different wards, and he kept talking and talking and it was fantastic. When I was on rounds with him on tuesday, he explained a few things to me like diabetes insulin charts, but today he didn't stop explaining and I loved it. He's so lovely, I know I said that but he is. We talked about everything from personal statements for uni, to the fact that predicted grades matter more than actual grades, to him using the example of a road going through a quiet town to explain how a surgical bypass works.

After rounds were over, the aforementioned consultant said there was a meeting I could sit in on later, or I could just follow Ben for the rest of the day. Guess which I picked? While he was telling me that, Ben was writing something on a piece of paper, and when the consultant finished talking to me, he gave me said piece of paper with his e-mail address and mobile number. He wasn't being dodgy or anything, as he told me (mores the pity), but it was in case in the future I had any questions or anything I may need to ask someone, and if I knew someone I could talk to, I could ring and say how I did some work experience with him and ask the question. How thoughtful and lovely was that?

After that we walked back up to M Ward and we both sat in the reception area, him on the computer, and I thought that would be it. Instead, he carried on chatting to me, about personal statements, saying similar stuff to earlier, how you have to expand on everything you say and exaggerate stuff to make it sound better. Then he went down this list of patients, explaining to me what was wrong with each of them and exactly what that meant. I learned so much from him.

A few years ago, in 2003, my Grandma died after having her leg amputated due to a blood clot. The doctors were worried that the blood clot could get to her brain and cause serious damage, and amputating her leg was the safest option. Unforunately, she was so depressed afterwards that she stopped eating and, eventually, drinking, and died not long afterwards. I was only 12 at the time, and so wasn't really aware of the facts other than that she had a blood clot and they needed to amputate her leg. But being on the vasular ward on work experience made me wonder more aobut it, and so I asked my mum the other day, hoping to make it clearer in my head. She just said that the leg was amputated so the blood clot didn't rush to her brain, but it was hardly a medical explanation.

I saw my oppurtunity to find out more about what happened to my Grandma today with Ben when he was explaining one of the patient's problems. He was doing one of many adorably crappy little drawings to help him explain stuff to me, and it included a blood clot. So I told him about my Grandma and was able to ask all the stuff my mum couldn't answer, like how blood clots happened, what caused them, why an amputation was required. 

He made things a lot clearer for me. He said that blood clots can occur because someone has blood which clots a lot naturally, or because a person didn't move around very much, and the blood becomes 'lazy' as he put it. That was the case for my Grandma. She was hardly moving around at all. He said that the reason it would have been amputated would have been because, like the doctors had told my parents, they were afraid it could become dislodged by a build up of blood trying to get through an artery and block off an artery needed by the brain. In some cases, clots can be removed in surgery by using a tool to get them out, but in some cases, depending on where abouts in the body the clot is, this procedure can make it worse as bits of the clot can break off and you end up causing what you're trying to prevent. Therefore an amputation can be the best option.

I kept thinking he was going to stop talking and get on with his work, but he didn't. He really seemed to enjoy explaining things to me. I thought he'd get bored but he didn't. He loved teaching me things. Unfortunately, after we'd gone through all the patients he said he was going home because today was supposed to be his day off. I thanked him and tried my best not to look gutted. I'm pretty sure I succeeded. Then I had to go hand in my apron thingy (my tabbard) to the office to get my £10 deposit back and go to lunch. I asked Christine what time I should tell my parents to pick me up and she said there wasn't anything happening in the afternoon, so I set off for lunch, saying I'd be back to get my stuff. I thought Ben had gone (and he had) and so I was really churned up and for the first time I couldn't face a proper lunch. I just had some crisps and chocolate, and even felt nauseous eating a malteaser! I was missing him already.

One of the doctors I'd gone round with on tuesday saw me as she was leaving the restaurant, Julia, and said she was off to a meeting I could sit in on if I wasn't busy. By then I'd already rung my parents to pick me up so I told her that and she was nice and wished me luck for the future, recommending Newcastle university, as that's where she went. After that I went back up to get my stuff from Christine, who also wished me luck, saying she hoped I was able to follow the medicine career and I left.

I've really enjoyed my work experience, all apart from yesterady, and especially today. Today the time justflew by cos I was with Ben and I genuinely found all the stuff he was telling me interesting. I'm definitely sure I want to become a doctor now. Ben reassured me when he said that he got an A and two Bs at A Level, and it's predicted grades that med schools care about rather than what you actually get. I really miss him.

I feel stupid for missing him but I really, really like him and now I'll never see him again. Not properly anyway. Since I've got home I've been really teary, and my mum (who I made up with last night) says that she spent most of her A Level years crying and that it's just the hormones. Fucking hormones. Making me think I love him. I hate my hormones! Though I can't deny that I don't particularly mind crying, I think it's healthy every so often.

And, so I can remember when I look back on this, the reasons I like Ben so much:
~ He was sweet
~ He was nice
~ He was funny
~ He was adorable
~ He was smart but not overly boffiny smart
~ He didn't look down on me
~ He has a lovely voice and southern accent
(I need to not use the past tense - he's still alive!)
~ He's a doctor
~ He's cute, but not so attractive that he'd have millions of girlfriends n stuff
~ He explained things to me in an understandable and adorable way (obsession with arteries being roads heehee)
~ He fucking gave me his mobile number and e-mail address in case I have any questions I need to ask him!
~ He actually realised I was there
~ I know I mentioned his voice, but it was lovely. He spoke quite quietly but I heard every word
~ He was young at heart, and just young
~ He had rabbit teeth in an arobale way (not like buck teeth, just slightly rabbitish when he smiled)
~ He has an adorbale laugh and smile
~ He laughs easily, and at the same stuff as me (like when the consultant said that once he wouldn't give a football fan patient anasthetic until he said the team the consultant supported were better than the team the patient supoorted - lol)
~ He eats Chewits
~ When we went to the hospital shop on tuesday with Julia, he got one of those 5p strawberry strip things and just bought that = adorable
~ He talked to me about the patients' problems before he elft rather than ditching me for the computer
~ He said 'South London' in a cockney accent when the consultant told me he (the consultant, that is) came from South London
~ HE'S BEN <3 <3 <3

I MISS HIM SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Worst.Day.EVER.

DW : Jack and Rose {sad}

So I've been on my work experience this week, at a hospital, and I'm supposed to have stuff to do like observing minor procedures and stuff, but it's been a really quiet week and there's been loads of times when I've had nothing to do and have just been hanging round waiting to go home. Today, however, just took the biscuit. I helped a nurse make a couple of beds this morning and NOTHING. ELSE. I was literally sat reading my book for the entire day. Apparently there isn't much going on for me to observe. Christine, the woman who organises what I do each day, is really nice and she's been fantastic, so imagine my horror when bloody mother goes in and complains that I've just been sat all day.

After lunch, Christine told me I could go home, right, so I called my parents to come and pick me up. The journey takes about an hour so I read (and finished - Twilight by the way) my book and after an hour I went down to the carpark. My mum wasn't there. I ended up waiting for an hour until she arrived, during which time the heavens had opened literally within seconds, and I had to keep going out in the rain to see if she was there. Anybody'd be pissed after that, I'm telling you, so I got in the car, which my mum parked, saying she needed the toilet.

I told her about how I'd had an awful day, having nothing to do, and she left to find the toilets. How delighted was I when she took half an hour? Half an hour on top of the hour I'd already waited, on top of waiting four hours since the start of the day to go home. I assumed she'd got lost, as I breifly went out to look in the loos and couldn't find her, but as we were FINALLY driving home, she told me she'd been to see someone about the fact that I'd been sat doing nothing.

When I'd told her about my boring day, she'd said she was going to complain and I'd specifcally told her NO. So what does she do? Fucking complains about one of the nicest people in the hospital. OMG. I was so unbelieveably angry that I just shoved my earphones in for the rest of the journeyon full blast, I could not speak to her. Does she not realise what problems her complaint could cause for me? I have one day of work experience left - tomorrow - and I have to face Christine when she's been so lovely and as helpful as she could have been to me all week.

Another factor is Ben. He's this doctor who I've completely fallen for and the phrase 'he doesn't even know I'm alive' can't even be used in this context cos he's like my teacher! He teaches me things and I'm just a kid! I'm so sick of it. I never meet anyone my own age and I really like him and I'm a fucking child. This morning, I was a couple of minutes late, and as I was walking up the stairs to the ward where I'm stationed, I passed all the doctors, including Ben, as they were off for their rounds. When I got to Christine she said I could have gone on rounds with them but she didn't know where they'd gone. And she didn't find out :'( That was when I went to make those beds before my day of reading Twilight.

On tuesday, I went on rounds with the doctors and it was great. Christine told me the ward they were on and to find Ben, who I'd breifly met on monday and thought was fit. She asked if I knew who he was and I was like 'yes I do' (in my head I was like omg yes i do yayyayyay). So I met him on the ward and walked rounf with him and the other docs, and he explained some stuff to me and that day just cemented my love for him. He's only young, liuke late twenties, a House Officer, which I think is the lowest rank of a doctor, he's cute, he's funny, he's adorable.

God I'm so depressed. I'm not speaking to my mum, my dad came up to see me, and he ALWAYS sides with her, and was about to give me the same crap about 'only doing what we think's best' and so I fell out with him as well. I'm alone, depressed, tear-stained and hungry. Not a good combination. ;____;

Sophie's sleepover was awesome. We went to see Iron Man at the cinema, which btw is an amazing filn, and then went back to Sophie's later + ordered pizza + watched tv (good tv) and even played Truth or Dare. I've never played Truth or Dare properly before so it was tres awesome. Jasmine got dared to kiss my (socked) feet, which she did, and then we all started asking sex questions like 'when did you last masturbate + who were you thinking of?' last thursday + David Tennant ;) Jas was forced to admit that she does have a lttle crush on our ex-teacher Mr Hickenbottom. He's NOT sexy. At all. To put it mildly.

After that we kinda split off + me n Sophie watched One Tree Hill while Jas, Hetty and Kavita wtached some random french film on Sophie's laptop + slept n stuff. Me and Sophie didn't sleep at all. I had a couple of hours when I got home so I could be alert for the repeat of Doctor Who, which we didn't watch at Sophie's in the end.

Jasmine brought alcohol to the sleepover + so I got to try Irish Cream (omg I <3 it), mead, brandy (omg I hate it) + this yummy fruity stuff. If anyone's seen that season 6 episode of Buffy where the trio are drinking champagne and every time Andrew takes a sip he kinda chokes, that was me last night, especially with the brandy. Heh.

But yeh the sleepover was fun. It was nice how all 5 of us finally had a sleepover together + got the chance for some awesome group pics. Kavita's off back home to Malaysia on monday + Hetty and Sophie, I think, have their work experience next week so I'm off to Jas's tomorrow. Mainly cos I'm bored at home without my laptop + I like being at Jas's. It's fun. She's borrowing Skins from me to watch :D

So yeah, hopefully I'll catch up on my sleep tonight. I don't feel weirdly out of sync with my sleep so I should be fine. Nightses.

Time: 12.20pm
Mood: drunk (tipsy/merry)

Prom was ace! It started off with just a nice meal but then they had a disco and a load of us were just outside then. Hetty left at like 10.30pm but the rest of us stayed and we all got huggy. 'Course that could have been down to the alcohol we were allowed. We got a glass of Bucks Fizz at the reception, but me and Sophie had two each coz Hetty + Kavita don't drink + gave us theirs. Then Alice didn't want hers so I got a third :D I <3 Bucks Fizz. Also, I tried Guinness! I hated it, far too strong for me, but I tried the ultimate Irish drink! As Richard put it, 'a man's drink'.

It was actually a really nice atmosphere, despite Tom Gale + co. being themselves. Even Becky + Sophie, who've hated each other for years, were hugging! Towards the end of the night, me and Sophie just walked around the outside bit of the pub place with Matthew and Bamforth. It was really nice! I love talking to them and Matthew insisted I wear his jacket cos I was cold. He's such a sweetheart, I can't believe I used to find him creepy. We peruaded Matthew to come to our school Open Day in July so we'll all be together again. That'll be nice.

Anywayz I'm off to bed cos I've got an 8.30am start tommorrow for our day out. I will post pics on Tuesday, when I get my laptop (or maybe wednesday), cos I got some great snaps. Nightillynight!

Today was the last day I'll see my best friend at school. Except for Open Day, but I don't really count that as school, so... It wasn't particularly emotional. Or at all, actually. She came into school after my morning examand then we went round our teachers together to get them to sign our leavers' cards. We basically had to get all of our teachers to sign this piece of card to say we'd handed in all of our books, even though I only had text books to give back for four of my subjects.

Our school planner says that when we get our leavers' cards signed we should take the oppurtunity to 'thank our teachers for all their help over the years', but in reality it was just getting them to sign in the box. In fact, for about half of the subjects it wasn't even my own teachers that signed - it turned out that even science lab technicians could sign for some of the sciences. I didn't complete it, but Sophie's in tomorrow for an exam and she says she'll get it signed for RS and hand my books in.

The only one of my teachers I actually properly spoke to today was my history teacher, Mr Plant. He's been the best (if not the only good) teacher I've had during my GCSEs, and he's also the only teacher who's bothered to ask how the exam went. He hadbeen a bitch at times (he goes through PMS, I swear), but only because hegenuinely loves his subject and wanted us all to do well.

Me and Sophie (my best friend) went in to see him and after he's signed the card she goes 'thanks for all your help, Sir, you've been a really good teacher', which gave me the oppurtunity to agree, which I was glad of because I really did want to thank him, I just would have felt too awkward to say it myself.His response was that teaching us had been a pleasure, whch was a complete contrast from my maths teacher Mrs Hamill, who had merely had a go at me for the (not too shabby, I might add) state of my books - "How would you feel if you received this book next year, Stacey?" - and told me to put my chewing gum in the bin. WTF? If I was her I'd be more worried about how her next class is going to feel about the standard of her teaching than how pretty their bloody books look! Anyway, I never have to speak Hamill the Camel (second year joke, yet still funny) ever again so it's all well and good.

Anyways, after going round the teachers we went back to Sophie's house for a couple of hours before my mum was due to pickme up.Twas fun, we watched this programme she'd recorded called 'Brothers and Sisters in Love', which was a documentary about, well, brothers and sisters in love. We also ate vanilla slices + talked about the fact that neither of us are really looking forward to prom. I'm really gonna miss her when we go to different colleges next year. She just gets me and we have this really unique and amazing friendship that I know I'll never have with anyone else. We also have so many inside jokes + it's gonna be strange not to be able to use them so much next year.

But anyway, there'll be plenty of time to be sad at prom on friday + Sophie's sleepover so I'm gunna move on to say omg the RT Rose fest! There's a huge page of Rose inside and she looks so pretty and ace! RTD pissed me off in it though 'cause hewas all 'well, the Doctor and Rose are just friends cos all their romantic moments only add up to 3 slight hints and two not-kisses'. Martha also has a section which gushes about how much the Doctor trusted her + blah blah blah,

Although what really pissed me off was the bit on Donna's page that said she's the only companion (out of her, Martha and Rose) that understands the Doctor. Rose understood him! They had the bestest relationship ever and I love Donna, I really do, but her relationship with the Doctor doesn't comapre to what he and Rose had. It did make me smile, though, when RTD said 'wait 'til you see the Doctor's face when Rose returns' :D omgyay!


God I can't wait for the weekend. I gets my prom, cinema tiem, shoppings, a sleepover with my bestest friends in the whole wide world + Rose! Life without a laptop sucks already btw. I've started playing the Sims Bustin' Out on my GameBoy Advance SP for like the zillionth time, but I don'thave a charger except for one that's powered by the USB port of a computer + the battery's run out D': Guess it's revision + tv for me until I can make my mum lend me her USB portto charge it up.

Windows Vista is scary :( But I think I'm gunna like it. I love getting new laptops, they're all shiny and new, but I needs to illegally obtain Photoshop before I go mad cos I loooove Photoshop ;) Byesies (but not for long yay)
