Losing Touch

Well, it has been nearly a month since my last blog post. I never in my life thought that I would be so busy with school and my hospice externship. I am so sorry. I really shouldn't be making excuses. I really need to set aside time for the things that I love...like blogging. Oh yes, and sleeping. I didn't expect it to be this involved. I never had "the college experience". Maybe the reason that all of this whole program is crammed into 6 months and is very intensive. It is ALOT to remember and alot to memorize. I have a weekly 4hr lecture of anatomy & physiology that I really like. My professor that teaches that class is brilliant. He is going to medical school with hopes to become either a spinal or a thoracic surgeon. Plus he gets major props because he is a LOST fan too!

I have a HUGE project that I'm working on for class. Each of us was given a medical specialty and basically we have to make a brochure for "our practice" as we are both "the medical assistant and managers" of that practice. I got ophthalmology. We have to go as far as naming a doctor, giving his history, discussing diseases, treatments. The whole kit-and-kaboodle. We could make anything up and she told us to have fun with it too. Guess who my doctor is??? Dr. Elvis A. Presley, MD. I kid you not!!! As you can see, I'm having some fun with it too!! So far I have an 8 page folded brochure. I still have more to go. It is going to be lots of fun when I have to actually go and print this thing. Lining up the pages with the correct things on each side has been very challenging.

I wanted to post these pictures of me with my cousins. Larry and I went out with them a few weeks ago.

This is me with my cousin Kara. She gets all the time that she looks like Jennifer Aniston. She is my heart though! We grew up together.

This is me with Kara and her daughter (also my cousin) Hope. I adore both of them so much!!


Well, I better go back and work on my project. I am sorry I have been losing touch. I really am going to try and be better. This blog and all of you are very important to me. I'm just not used to being back in a routine like this and trying to prioritize my time.
