Code True Blue

Dammit. I just lost my last post to the gods of cyberspace. I will recreate it ot be the best of my ability, but to be honest with you, I am not all that thrilled about it. Anyways, last night was Code True Blue, Emergency Medicine Club's first fundraiser party of the term. [True Blue is the peninsula where my school is located, and if you don't know what Code Blue is, you haven't been watching enough ER. Not that that show in any way reflects medical reality. Oh, I am quite off-topic here, aren't I?] Anyways, the party was held at De Big Fish, a local open air bar/restaurant on a nearby bay.
I attended as volunteer to help out, so I got free drinks, but unfortunately, I had to limit them. The Student Goverment Association requires 4 Security Guards, as well as 4 Royal Grenadian Police Officers, for each party due to problems in the past with altercations and hijacking of school buses. I guess my previous security experience made me qualified to provide security to this party… Luckily, the only problem we had was getting the DJ to stop playing at 2AM, the scheduled end of the party. I wouldn't have minded continuing for a bit, but the Police Officers were eager to get home, and offered their assistance in getting the DJ to comply.
Overall, we had quite a good turnout, especially for a party organized only days ago. After paying the Police and the DJ, we are well on our way of our goal to buy the Grenada Fire Department an Automated External Defibrillator, if we are not already there. (The Treasurer still has to count the profits.)
I ended up going to bed around 4AM, due to another SGA rule. Party organizers are required to stay until all students either get on a bus, or find other transportation home. Even if that means taking a student to drunk to walk home in your personal vehicle.
At least he didn't vomit in the car.

I know the feeling. It took a few weeks of composing in an offline text editor, then pasting in. Better luck next time!
