First Aid course

This day started at 1 pm with a first aid course which is very important for us tutors to complete (only these 3 hours) so we're ready if an emergency happens at the freshmen trip that everyone's of to at the beginning of september.

after a bit of theory, it was our turn to practise with the dolls. Each of us picked up a rubber face and some lungs (plastic bags for the dolls head) and went in to our groups.

The doll was kinda creepy, but we named him Eric and that made us a bit more comfortable with havin' him lyin' around all torso-ish and shiny.

Actually Eric and I got very close at the end. I saved his life 3 times, and he was very appreciative and gave me a big ol' torso hug.

The guys from Aliento First Aid who taught us.

They where so fun and casual around the power point and included a lot of fun pics. they actually made First Aid a lot more approachable and I feel that I can make a difference in an emergency situation.

Genki con 2010

So I just got through a weekend of Genki con in Copenhagen. I went to see a few panels and the cosplay shows of course. I enjoyed seeing all the people I know from this hobby there and sharing a geeky time with everyone.Me cosplaying Ai Amano from Video Girl Ai at the con Saturday.

I wore some cosplays that I made a while ago. I chose these two because I haven't worn them to conventions much. I actually feel a little guilty that I didn't try harder to get a new cosplay done in time for the con, I just never took the time to plan and save money for it properly.

This pic is not from the con, I didn't yet find the one photo someone took of me in this. I wore this Sunday where it was VERY rainy... so I went home quick.

It was more spontaneous to make cosplay when I stayed at my mom's and didn't have to worry about bills and stuff at the same time, now I can't just go out and buy all the materials at once, I have to plan out the costs of stuff and start months in advance.

I've been wanting to make Yoko from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann for a while now, and I really like the time skip version which is a bit more covered up than the regular version.

Well, I am looking forward to creating cosplay again soon, If I start now I know I'm able to get it ready for j-popcon at November!

These cons always gives me the passion back when I've been away from the manga/animé stuff for a while. But right now I have to concentrate on the new students at classical archaeology who two other students and myself are going to take care of the first weeks of their time on campus, so the final planning processes are kinda filling up my schedule these days.

goin' to bed !
