Aahh the weekend!

Well I made it through the week! This week was so busy and exhausting, Im so glad its over! I started my new job on Monday. I am working at Primary Children's Hospital as a Physician chart specialist, which is pretty much a fancy name for a chart filer. I work in the medical records dept and well...my job sucks and is so boring! Ha! I took the job to get in the door and now my goal is to get into the ER again, doing registration like I was in St George. We will see how it goes. On top of starting work, I finished 2 of my classes and took 2 finals today. They were in First Aid and Massage Basics. We had a written exam and then a hands on demo in both. I passed both of them w high A's! Whoo hoo....Im off to a great start!
The coolest thing I did this week was go to Cadaver Lab up at the U of U for my Anatomy class. I wasnt sure how I was going to handle it and I was a bit nervous. But once we started I totally surprised myself....I was the one in my group that wanted to touch everything. We looked at bones, a knee joint, the leg from the knee down, a section of the torso, and a section of the thigh. Yes some things were definitely gross, but overall it was crazy interesting to me. Not that I want to do it all the time, but to be able to see exactly what Im learning about is cool. Man do I keep surprising myself these days! Haha!
We already started a new class which is Movement and we start Advanced Massage on Monday. I love Movement! It is totally along the lines of what I want to do. We learn how to realign the structure of the body to help it function better and relieve pain. It is so interesting!
Im ready for a relaxing weekend and then it starts all over again!
