analoguechildI seem to post to facebook a lot more than I use any other site. Partially because I have people friended on there that respect me who are also Republicans and I use my posting ability to inform them of things their representatives are doing that, I find, are fucking stupid. And I try to get them to respond to any of my posts with something that makes some sense. Hasn't happened yet :/
Anyway, To those who haven't read my facebook today an old friend of mine from Omaha was murdered in a small town in Nebraska this past weekend. We weren't close friends, more friendly acquaintances I guess, but still to be that young (25) and just married and a victim in a double homicide, is kind of OMG-making. Hrm, don't have much to say other than she was very bright. Was the youngest city council member of Missouri Valley, IA and was going to University of Nebraska Omaha while being a city council member. I guess she never finished school, the websites all say she was just a few credits shy of graduating and she was about to start back in January. She always seemed a bit trusting and always very happy but kinda slow when trying to follow a conversation. But, yeah, just so sad.
My first quarter at this technical college I am attending is over. I got "A"s in my two classes. Anatomy & Physiology I and a one night a week for a month required computer class called Technology and Society. A&P I have taken before, in 2005, so it has been awhile but I vaguely remember most of the terms and what they all mean. The Tech/Soc class was so utterly stupid, mostly because the teacher was so lenient, old, and didn't care all that much. But first quarter is over and I am on the Honors List which is good since I need to get all As to be competitive to even get in to the program (physical therapy assisting) I want to get into. Although... someone mentioned the program Surgical Technology which sounded interesting too and apparently doesn't get that many people applying for spots in the program. (PTAs have 40 spots open a year and at least twice that amount apply for a spot)
(And I went and spent a lot of time looking at the BLS.gov site about Surgical Technologists. I like PTA better overall still.)
(Then I got lost in Radiologic Technologists on the BLS.gove site, maybe I should just post this entry and be done with it.)
