Red Cross

I did tell ye i do Red Cross didnt i?
Forgive me.
Since September, ive been doing a Red Cross course but the course ended last week and now i have my Red Cross cert and am officially a member of The Irish Red Cross!
I know i sound so political when i say that and thats partly why i say it like that, to sound like i know more than i do mehehe.
Sorry anyway, basically if you dont know what the Red Cross is its basically,The Irish Red Cross works both in Ireland and in countries overseas which have been damaged by wars or natural disasters.
The Irish Red Cross is part of the largest global network of voluntary humanitarian action in the world - the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement which has a national organisation in nearly every country in the world - some 185 Red Cross or Red Crescent societies in total.
(Im not going to lie, that was copied and pasted from wiki, dont say you've never done it!)
Its pretty cool actually, the Red Cross in limerick get to go to Thomond park for all the matches and the concerts incase someone has a heart attack or faints or something.
But unfort, i wont be able to go to any of those till im 16! Ah well.
In the course we had to learn how to do casts, CPR, recovery positions and then bones, veins, blood and what to do in these situations.
We just started onto Biology in Science class and to be honest i couldnt care less about Science but sadly have to put up with it but im actually really into it now because i actually know what the teacher is taking about when he tells us about bones and the heart and everything. So for me when iam interested in something ill learn about it and make an effort just because i enjoy it so now im the biggest swot wiht my hand stuck in the air.
But its good for my studys right?!
