Remote Area Medical

I had a great time on my trip this past weekend. We arrived around 8 pm Friday night and almost immediately hit the sack. We had to get up dark and early the next day at 5 am. We had to be at the school at 6 am to start seeing patients. These people hadn't been seen by a doctor in probably years. Some desperately needed glasses but couldn't afford them. A lot also needed dental work. There were a bunch of dentists and dental assistants that volunteered their time to help all these people. There were also some doctors and some optometrists that helped out.

I got to work the machine that measures the curvature of the eye. It was way cool. Bethany gets to use that machine everyday at her job. I am so jealous. Then I got to see the other side of vision care. Remote Area Medical has a lens grinding van that makes the glasses right there. I got to help with that. I must have made about 50 pairs of glasses.

I should have pictures soon. I wasnt able to take any pics but some other people did take some so as soon as I get them I will post the pics.

Everything else is good. School is almost over. I am excited for summer vacation.

Life

So yeah I know I haven't posted in forever. I'm sorry. It's basically been the same old same old for me. School and work keeping me busy. I'm still failing spanish. I'm doing ok in my other classes. Finals are coming up very soon. They shouldnt be too bad. I will just be glad when this semester is done. But then I am taking 2 classes this May so school won't be done for the summer until June.

I am going on a trip this weekend to a rural part of Tennessee to volunteer at a big medical clinic type thing. They have them a few times a year in different places to help out with the rural community to provide them with health care. We go and help out where ever we can. Hopefully I will have pictures of it and will post those and the update of the trip when I get back.

Well I have a test I have to take soon and a paper to write that is due tomorrow. Yeah I know I should have done it weeks ago yes I am a procrastinator.
