Job Shadow

Well I did my job shadow for one of my projects for my night class. I had a lot of fun. They actually let me do some work. I did lots of filing and then I got to enter a new patients information into their computer system, I faxed things out. It was cool. The office I was in was small (one doctor) and very laid back feeling. The office is busy but casual. It wouldn't be a bad place to work but I really think I would like to work in a dental office. I don't really want to be around sick people which is why I do not want to work in a ped's office. I love kids but dont' want to work out in the waiting room area with all the germs!!!!

Tonight and tomorrow is all about studying. I need to take another terminilogy test. I will just be happy to pass this one. Last week I took my test and only missed one but had lots of help from my study partner. But she started a job this week so we are not getting to study as much as normal so we'll just have to see. Will blog after my test.

I am almost done with my ethics paper. My terminilogy study partner is helping me with it. She is looking over it to help me with the gramar and spelling.

I gotta get busy with school work....chow!

I only missed one!!

I only missed one on my last test. I owe that grade to my study partner Julie. She took the test the day before and we got together that afternoon and she told me what she could remember was on the test so I could study those. I am down to my last 4 weeks of school. It's amazing how fast the quarter has gone. It seems all my projects for my night class are due and feel like they are hanging over my head. I am hoping to finish two of the three this weekend. Then all I have to do is my job shadow which I plan to do on Tuesday monring, then turn that in the following day. Then I will be done with all my projects and just have to show up to class.

My advisor and I figured out my schedule for next quarter. I have to take the 10 key class. Can you believe that. I told her I could run one inside and out..she said it should be an easy A then!! I will have night class on Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30-7:40. And then Medical Terminology 2 as a lab class. The 10 key test is also a lab class.

I rejoined Weight Watchers. I had my second weigh in last night. I have lost a total of 5.2 pounds. One of my best friends and I are doing this together to be each others support system. I lost 2.6 pounds at each weigh in so far. I am hoping to figure out a time that I can start walking. Sure, like I have time for that. Once I start my new quarter, I will have to find another facility to weigh in at since right now I weigh in on Thursday nights. I am hoping to find a facility to weigh in on Thursday morning or during the day.

JC is going on a field trip today to the Junior Achievement Center. He is working in the Papa John's pizza shop. He is really nervous. I know he will do great. I wish I could have gone but I have to babysit kids and you had to be there at 8am in Seattle so I had no where for Christopher to go anyhow.

I think that is about all going on....chow for now.

over the hurdle

Well it appears we are over the hurdle of sick boys'. Both came home Wednesday by 1pm with 102.7 & 102 fevers. Both stayed home Thursday. But today they are going!!! Which is good for me because I have lots to do today.

I hate tests!!!

Well, I barely passed yet again. It's amazing how much you study then you realize you study all the wrong things. There was so much to cover...178 definition, then there are all the syndromes, and everything that goes with the brain and nervous systems. Now it's on to blood and all that goes with that.

Tomorrow is the love holiday of the year. It has always been my favorite holiday but this year I could care less. I am hoping things will smooth out with my family and I will start to feel the love for them again.

Gotta go study...gotta finish reading a book all about HIPAA for night class tomorrow.

another test to take

well I have to take another test today. I honestly don't know how I will do. I think I know it then I read something else and realize I don't have a clue. Such as life.

Life at home sucks right now. I finally lost it Sunday afternoon and told my family from now on they are on their own. I told the kids if they want clean clothes they better ask their dad to do their laundry because I am only doing things for me. I cannot nor will I pick up after all 3 of them on a daily basis. I am going for a couple of hours studying or Sunday I was at a babyshower and absolutely nothing gets done and they have created more of a mess that has to be cleaned. The boys won't help and when I start in on Joe he says "why should I have to clean all this up"....hello...that is why the boys won't help because you don't do shit. Yes, I am venting. So last night I did not even cook dinner. I don't think the boys have clean socks for today either. I will be spending my day at school. Not sure when I will come home. Damn, I have to be home to get the kids off the bus. Guess that means I have to come home before bedtime.

It's back to the books and coffee. Chow~~

My first A on a test

I did it, I got my first A on a test!!! I am so happy! I do have to credit my study partner. If it wasn't for her I don't know how well I would have done. The worst part is she is NOT taking terminology 2. That totally sucks for me. I did sit in on her anatomy class. I like her teacher. Hopefully when I take it she is available.

Chow.

Another test today

well I am taking another test today. I should do really well. I studied with Julie for 5 hours on Sunday. She called after she took her test and she only missed one. She pretty much told me what was on the test to I am hoping for my first A. But I will just be happy to pass is with a 70% or better. I do need to look over my last test because there are a couple of questions I think I got marked wrong that are actually right. So if that is the case, I need to challenge them. Julie and I talked about that on Sunday and she challenged hers and they changed her test score. Maybe it will bring mine up to at least a 70%. I would be happy with that instead of a 65%.

Doing the biggest loser with Lisa is keeping me focused on my food intake. I have lost 6 pounds and feel good about me. I am still thinking of joining WW on Thursday. I think I can use all the support and help I can get.

I will post how well I do on my test tonight....chow.
