Thursday 16th June 2011 did not start well for me. I set my alarm early to get the horror of receiving my exam results over with; I fully expected to fail. Instead of getting my results however I met with confusion about why results were not available and a positive test result for Glandular Fever. Later that day the medical school got their act together and I discovered luckily all was not lost. I had infact by some miracle passed my exams with 'the glange' as it was now fondly known.
The plan for my summer had been to cycle John O'Groats to Lands End with a team of Leeds medics. It became clear over the next few weeks that this was not going to be possible in my state of health. So in between a lot of time watching megavideo and knitting a blanket I started formulating plans for when I was well enough to travel.
Having done the 'finding myself' bit last year in South East Asia, I was eager to 'give back to the community' and happened upon a conservation project for sea turtles in Costa Rica.
Now having a severe dislike for any coffee product and a grasp of Spanish which amounts to, 'Why is it not acceptable for you like that?', this seemed like the perfect destination!
Ciao
