Cardiff University

Due to the NHS trust blocking my access to the blog (obviously they feel that their employees have something to complain about) it has not been written on since Hannah and I left Cardiff for pastures new-ish full of sheep. Contrary to popular belief, people in North Wales don't actually bring their sheep into the hospitals, they have special pens outside.

Since the hostile takeover (merger) between the medical school and Cardiff Uni, thi gs have been looking worse and worse for the medics. Not only have all our social clubs been removed, our sports teams forced to practise on carparks and our views not been represented by the students' union, we have now been told that our exams will be a week earlier- Monday afternoon, Tuesday lunchtime and Wednesday morning.

The medical school has so little power that this won't change, we aren't represented (it is quite difficult to vote in elections on campus when you're on placement the other side of Wales) by the union, at any one thime most of us are away/in the hospital so we won't be able to strike, and, now we know they're a week early, most of us will be too busy cramming (and trying to learn stuff for the placement we're still on) to make as much fuss as someone on a different course.

End of rant.

Yeah, that's not good at all. You can get a postal vote for the Student Union elections, but it wasn't well publicised. Grrr!

I hope you had a good time in North Wales. I enjoyed being home in Dolgellau for Easter. In one town, Blaneau Ffestiniog, the sheep were such a problem they had to build special barriers to keep them wandering around the town. Blaneau is one of those places where all the stereotypes come true!
