Fancy dinners and impending stress

Last Saturday night was amazing. As fundraisers go, it was quite a formal bash: 3 course meal, flowing wine, gorgeous dresses and sharp suits. The Hilton was absolutely lovely and the turn out was good and it was quite a mixed bag of people. The highlight of the whole night had to be the dance performance and subsequent dancing. It was so good to see everyone getting involve, shaking their tail-features, especially the President of the Oral and Maxillofacial Association doing the Azonto! All in all a fantastic night out! 

Don't worry if you couldn't make it, there are always opportunities to donate :) 

The end of last week also marked the midway point of the second module of my MSc. The time has just flown by! I feel like we just began the course yesterday. Alas we are very nearly half way through the entire taught part of the course, which means half way towards exams… I have just over 3 weeks before the second essay is due, which means another 2½ weeks of procrastination. After Christmas we begin our projects and that is when the real stress kicks in. This course is very full on but honestly after a year making sandwiches and serving coffee I am so glad to be exercising me brain again.

On the GradMed front, I haven’t heard back from any of my choices. Which I am hoping is a good thing since Warwick has been dishing out rejections so hopefully my application is still being reviewed. So for now at least no news is good news! 

Upcoming Charity Event

This is a small promotional piece for my friend:

There is charity dinner next Saturday if any of you are interested in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery. Nyarko Cleft Care is a small charity founded in 2005 by my friend's mum whose daughter (friend's sister) had cleft lip and palate. She, along with the lead surgeon and President of the International Oral and Maxillofacial Association: Professor Piet Haers and the rest of the team, will be there on the night.

The event is in the London Hilton in Euston on the 23rd or November and starts at 6:30pm. It should be a really good night, lots of food, drink, and dancing. If you have any questions about the project or the event you can leave a comment and I'll pass it along to my friend.

More info and tickets are available on the website.

I'll give a review of the night next week to those unfortunate few that won't be able to make it!
