Exam 5

Today we had exam 5 on Respiratory system and medications. I left for the school really early. I was there at 6:45, studied for a little bit and started the test at 7:30. I only took 1 1/2 hours on the test. At some point Cpt Sugg one of my instructors helped me cheat. She said something about changing one of my answers coz she went over it in the review last night. I ended up passing with an 83. The rest of the day we had a a class on the Gastrointestinal system. I ate Burger King for lunch today and it didn't sit well in my stomach. I hadn't eaten any fast food or drank soda in 2 weeks. My diet has consisted of a cup of coffee and 3 square meals  throughout the day.

September madness

Hello everyone,
Long time no blog. September has had a pretty good run so far. The beginning of this month I earned my citizenship at the USCIS. It's quite great after I've worked hard for it for 3 years now. It only took four months since the time I turned in my application. The interview was quite simple. I passed all the questions and was sworn in a few moments later.

The beginning of this month I raised the flag and put it down in the afternoon. My detail put up the huge 30" x 24" flag which was quite heavy and huge for the labor day holiday.

My class had the 4th exam on Cardiovascular system. It was a lot of information. However I passed the test which was quite simple in its nature. I had my final grade of 82. I was quite glad to get it over with since there were 8 failures and they had to wait 5 days to retake the test.

This morning I did a patient assessment with a partner. We were being graded for this and we did quite well. There were a few things we missed. We still ended up having a high score.
