Tomorrow some of the medics are off to Brighton then Antwerp, Belgium for the weekend\u2026 all in the name of charity. Having changed my pounds to euros and had a glance at my awful passport photo I am now in the process of being ready to leave. In the classic \u201cDictator Mala\u201d style we (I) have organised a full day plan for tomorrow and everything is timed to the minute to ensure maximum fun. Our train to Brighton with the RAG DASH ANTS (AKA ANT-twerp girls up to their ANTics) leaves at 13.51. We will be meeting for light refreshments and pizza at 12:33. Gonna be a great Friday!<\/p>\n<p>I have had such a problem working out what to take though. It seems that the older the medics the less they advise to take on Rag Dash. My fresher friends are discussing suitcases whilst 5<sup>th<\/sup> years have told me to take a toothbrush and a change of underwear only&#8230;decisions.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Anyway, what am I expecting?
