This Estrella was a fairly mild one and then it failed epicly.

Finally to attend my first Estrella A&S class! ... Chirurgeon 101. Aka 'So you wanna be a Chirurgeon'.

Verified that yes, I am still allergic to pork and that the Chirurgeons rock.

Did you know there are no awards for Chirurgeons? At all? No 'Courage under fire' or 'Sorry you missed the war cause you are on the midnight shift' or 'Thank you for mentally falling apart -after- dealing with extremely f*cked up situations' or anything like that.

Pulled... um... well, more than one hand's worth of shifts at the Watch, mostly Dispatch.

Megs came down on Friday and hung out, that was awesome!

Hung out with some old-timer Scadians. Learned a lot. That was cool.

Sunday night/Monday morning was very, very bad. 2 hours of sleep, and then was in the right place at the right time to be on hand to help during an extremely f*cked up situation.

Long story short: I'm not huggy right now. Please don't take it personally.

Got an amazing surprise Monday morning when it came to the Volunteer raffle. Handed my pouch of tickets to a guy at the final raffle with the quip of 'let me know if I won anything good' before rushing off to try to finish wrapping things up. Wasn't actually expecting anything of it.

The guy tracked down Johannes to give me back my pouch, with some really pretty Middle Eastern jewellery in it. I don't know if I actually won it, or someone won it and gave it to me, but either way I'm very grateful.

Thank you to whoever you are, for giving me hope when I needed it.
