Death in family

I got a phone call in the middle of the night telling me that my boyfriends grandmother died. She had a stroke and while waiting on the ambulance she passed away. It is a sad day for us. My brother and his girlfriend flew out today for the funeral that will be on Monday. I'm happy to see my brother but not under these circumstances. We knew she had been ill for some time now but never thought this was the way she was going to go.
So the last week of classes..... I have a lot of testing I have to get done before Tuesday. This is hard trying to juggle all the things that are going on in my life right now but I know its all a part of life. Well that's all I got to say for now. I will continue to post to this blog because even though the class is over I feel like this is a good way to get things off my chest. Good luck to you all in the future.
Until next time,

Finals week...

Okay so its that time again, I cannot believe how fast the last 9 weeks went. It seems like just yesterday the school was calling me to get my classes together for this term now its almost over. Time sure does fly when your having fun. I have a really busy week ahead of me with this being finals week, papers due in all three of my classes, exams, discussions it seems like it never will end. I believe the school system came up with finals week to see how well we work under a lot of pressure lol. I have grown as a writer and as a person over the last nine weeks and I owe that all to my wonderful professors. I know I'm just that much closer to becomings a medical assistant. I'm in the process of getting everything in order for my clinical work since I will be doing that next term and I couldn't be happier because now I get to apply all the information that I obtained over the last few terms into something I've been waiting to do.
I am going this weekend to take my class so that I will have my certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) which is a must have to be in this profession.
My son has been asking me about my grades and gets really excited when I show him I got a 100% ha ha so he knows I have final papers due this week and he keeps asking "mommy did you get 100% on your papers yet?" lol its really cute.
Well until next time, Take care

I want to talk about the Arizona Immigration law because this is a big debate in the U.S. right now.
Many people complain day to day about the "illegals" in our country and want them out and now that Arizona is the first to stand up and do something about it everyone is in a frenzy.
When I was in Arizona for my sisters wedding back in March-the beginning of April I went through boarder patrol and they asked question and nobody complained then. They asked where I was going and coming from as well as what was my status, meaning was I from the U.S. And I never thought twice about it. I know that is not the same as to what they are trying to do now but Arizonans should already know how that state works already, if they don't like it move out of Arizona!!!
The only people who have a problem with this law are "illegal" or has family or friends that are. This is only happening in Arizona as of now and people around the world are going crazy about it. Until this law starts to effect you let Arizona do it's job. Arizona is just doing what the rest of us should have been doing and that is keeping "illegals" out of OUR country.
I normally keep my opinions to myself but I feel strongly about this and agree with what Arizona is trying to do. I'm very sorry if I offended any of you, that is not my intention.
Until next time take care,

Not a good start to the end of my week!!!

Hello everyone,

I got a call this morning from my mother in law telling me my father in law is back in the hospital because he had another heart attack. The thing that I don't get is that he has a pacemaker in and it never kicked in. They are running all kinds of test on him now and so far they found out he was without oxygen to his brain for about a minute and a half so now they are testing to see if any brain damage has occurred he also only has 10% of his heart left (well he did until this happen) they are going to be looking to see how much more damage was done. They also noted that the pacemaker was set to 161 and he dropped to 140 but it never kicked in. You see back in 2003 he was diagnosed with cancer and they removed his stomach, he had strokes, and heart attacks, causing him to lose all of his heart but the 10%, now this is happening all over again. My husband is not taking this news very well as none of us would if it were our parents. They told my father in law that he would be too weak to have any more surgeries but the only thing that would help him now is to have a heart transplant so its a lose lose situation. My father in law is talking about checking himself out the hospital now because there is no need for him to be in there as he puts it. I feel useless in this kind of situation I don't know what to do or say to any of them.
I am going to talk a little bit about my class this week as well.....I am excited about this week in my writing class because it is time for peer review. We just turned in our drafts last week and now we need to submit them to our discussion so the class can also give us tips on making it a better paper. I know I can use as much help as possible on my paper lol.
Well until next time,take care...
