CHICKENS!!!!

So this weekend Spencer and Elizabeth are up in New England on a recruiting trip for the school and I get the responsibility to take care of their chickens. So far so good. They are all still alive and all still in their box but that may change because they are starting to fly a little bit and are almost getting out. They are really cool looking. I can tell they are going to be loud. So maybe I won't feel so guillty eating them if I think they are annnoying. I definitely won't be able to be there when they kill them. They are getting big and they are getting their feathers in on their wings.

Well I must go back to the Red Sox. They are winning game 3 but I don't want to jinx anything. So I'm not gonna post this till after the game. Ok they won so I am posting this. Hope you guys like the pics of the chickens. Am gonna try to post some videos as well but dial-up is too slow to do that so I will try to do it at school or something

GO SOX!!!!!

Sorry for not updating in a while. I have been busy. And I don't have my camera with me at school here so there wont be any pics on this post. Sorry again.

First I must say GO SOX!!!! I have to work almost every night that the series is playing. I am kinda mad about that but we do have a TV in the lobby right outside the lab so if I sit at the front desk and turn my head just right and pray that nobody needs to get stuck I can watch most of the game.

I am a very tired person these last few weeks and this week. The games aren't getting over till about 1 am and then it takes me a little while to fall asleep. So needless to say I have been very sleepy for my 8am class every morning. (That's if I go at all) ;)

School is going ok. I need to study more. If anyone has any great study tips and wants to share them please do. Especially tips on how to study spanish. I have heard that spanish is one of the easiest languages to learn. Whoever said that is a dirty rotten liar. It is so hard. I think I'm doing ok then the teacher asks me a question and I answer it totally wrong. And on the tests I think I do ok and then I get my grade back and its a C. UGH!!!!

My other classes are going fine. Have a physics test tomorrow and need to be studying for that. (Oh and I lost all respect for my physics teacher because he thinks that me being a sox fan is stupid because I'm not from Boston.) He's a redskins fan and he doesn't live in Washington DC. Hypocrite. Other than that he's a good guy.

Spencer and Elizabeth are going up to New England for like 6 days so my responsibility on the farm is to feed the chickens and make sure they don't die. I'm a little worried.

Exciting Happenings at the Hospital

So on Monday I was working my usual shift and we were kind of busy. (Nothing unusual for a Monday) But that day there was a code blue called in the ER (A code blue means someones heart has stopped) And my job as a phlebotomist is to go to wherever the code blue is called and wait there and see if they need my services. They did. I had to draw blood on basically a dead person. (They did end up reviving her)

So that was exciting but my night was not over yet. I got orders to go up to the nursery and draw blood on a brand new baby. I have never drawn blood on a baby. I have seen it done a few times and its basically the same as an adult except much much smaller. I used a tiny needle and stuck it in his tiny arm and actually got blood. I was shocked. I figured my first time I was going to miss.

I work again tonight and I hope we have a quieter night but a little excitement now and then is a good thing.

School is going good. I took my first tests last week and did good on most of them. Spanish is still an issue for me. If anyone knows a good way to study for it please help me out.
