First Test

So i'm now in Jerusalem doing the training course for Magen David Adom (the Israeli amblance service). Today is our third day and we just had our first midterm. We have lessons ever day from 8.30 am to 9.30 pm with an hour for lunch and and hour for dinner and a couple of breaks inbetween, so the days are really long. The test went ok, it was on CPR, choking, Respiratory emergencies, unconsciousness emergencies, CPR with equipment and some other stuff. We also had a vocab test as we need to know all the words in hebrew, luckily quite a few are the same just with an Israeli accent, but some are really confusing. Luckily we didn't have a practical exam today, cause actually doing the stuff is really hard, and getting the stuff in order is even harder, i spent ages last night with the dummies (Little Anne, and baby Anne) going through the stuff. Anyway next class is going to start soon, so i'll blog later about how the rest of the course is going

Say hello to Little Anne for me! Hope your mid-term went well (a mid-term after three days? Is your term only six days long?)

i think the term is actually 7 days long, and i think we have another midterm which again doesn't make sense. I got 86% in the midterm, you needed 80% to pass, so i did well.
