Life Lately...

My life this semester has basically consisted of school, school, and more school! I do occasionally find a little bit of time for sleep, but not much.
My Medical Assisting lab is by far my favorite class! I like it because it's a hands-on class. So far I've learned how to position patients, take blood pressure, give subcutaneous injections in the arm, intramuscular injections in the deltoid, thigh, and bum, and intradermal injections in the forearm. Most recently I learned how to draw blood, hence the pictures below. I have enjoyed doing everything, but my favorite has definitely been drawing blood. It's a pretty fun adventure!

Everyone in my class has had plenty of battle-wounds as a result of this class! But, I think we have also been pretty proud of them! :)

Why yes, yes that is my sphygnomanometer and stethescope

This little beauty is my very own sphygmomanometer + stethoscope.

Need me to check your blood pressure? I'd be happy to! :)

My Hat!

I needed something that I could work on, in what little free time I have these day's, that was not school related. So, I decided to try my hand at something I havn't done before; I crocheted a hat. Its certainly not perfect, but I think it turned out alright considering it was my first try. And, it has helped me stay grounded to have a little project to work on. I get so tired of doing homework all the time! :) Oh, well, such is the life of a student! :) .... Now I just need to think of another project I can start on!
