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.

Saturday gayness

So this morning the entire class had to come in to school at 9 am. We were there for 4 hours working on printing certificates. I only had 2 things to do. I really didn't have to be there that long, but our supervisor would not let us go anywhere. We were there until 1. I was just there to help people out that didn't have the programs to print out  the certificates. I'm currently green on most of my education list.

After I left I slept until 5pm. Which made up for the 2 hours I could've laid in bed because I was out late last night with a couple of friends

Clinicals Intro

So, today's day 1 of clinicals which is basically an orientation of the hospital. I worked at the uptown VA. A pretty neat hospital with a lot of veteran. My group got there at 7:30. We took breakfast and went on upstairs to  start the tour. We went through different wards such as physical therapy, the rehab pool, and all the floors.

My group finished the tour around 11:30. After lunch we decided to study for our test on Tuesday. After that we started introducing ourselves. We finished at around 3 pm which was pretty good coz i like to finish the day at that time

Fun under the Georgian sun

So I've been back in Georgia since July 20. It was quite amazing for me to have been through 4 different time zones in 10 days.

  • The day after that I got all my educational stuff like books and reading assignments. 
  • There was a barbeque event on Friday and I ended up helping people serve the night shift at the hospital.
  • There was more barbeque going on through the rest of the the weekend. 
  • Sunday I went to a lake. It was about 40 minutes trip. I enjoyed the lake even though I only bathed in it for about an hour. 
  • I ate more chicken!!! There were 400+ birds cooked for a crowd.
  • I got my tattoo covered up afterwards.... I enjoyed this third tattoo session just because it had an interesting pattern to a cover up.

4th of July weekend 2011

  • This year I had the funnest 4th of July weekend.
  • I spent about 6 hours studying the reproductive and urinary systems.
  • Saturday night I met some new people and we went to the Pride fest downtown. I also went to a club and the riverwalk.
  • Sunday night I went to the riverwalk again. I sang "Sweet Child o mine" on karaoke. Afterwards we went clubbing at Pat O'brien's 
  • Monday I spent the whole day outside of my room since I left the keys inside -__-
  • I didn't get in till 7:30 since I decided to wait for my roommate. I was outside most of the day playing COD. When I finally decided to get back in it was 84 degrees in the room since the A/C broke.

HP7.2

So this morning I watched HP7.2 with Alex, Ernest and Karo.
Premiere started at 3 am.
We stood in line for 2 hours after getting food from 7-11
I can't believe we're seeing the finale of the series :P
I can't believe that it's been 10 years since the first came out.
