LOL! I have got to admit orthopedic patients are NOT my favorite.

It IS cool to actually get some field experience in seeing drugs like you said. It was so cool to me to be able to see what would react with what and do what...It's also amazing to see how many drugs we can't give the elderly because it might drop their heart rate or blood pressure or whatever else it may do to them.

Ah, well. Emergency Medicine is where my heart lies. I know its years down the road, but I would LOVE to work in the children's ER...

Children's ER.......I wouldnt be able to do that. I LOVE kids and I LOVE my pediatrics rotations but any procedures that make them cry I couldnt handle that or just seeing them cry because they are so miserable from diarrhea. I watched a circumcison today in clinicals in the neonatal nursery and cried along with the baby boy I'll spare you all the description of that here, but I dont get where that doesnt hurt them.....good thing they dont remember that! It also pains me and makes me furious to no end when children come in and they have been abused. I also took care of two newborns today, one of which we didnt think was going to make it because they were born addicted meth. I also consider that abuse. One baby, the mother had left the hospital on friday and she hasnt been seen since. That baby doesnt even have a name They should shoot the mother when they find her.

I know how you feel! It just breaks my heart in a million pieces to have to remove them from a house because they have burns on them from where their parents have punished them with a lit cigarette. When they get in the back of the ambulance, they are just so helpless. It's painful to think someone would do that to a child that can't defend theirself or chose what happens to them. Heartbreaking. I agree with you that children being born addicts is also a form of abuse. Most of those cases don't end well or last long.

Everyone has been so quiet! I'll try to start things up again.

Have you all seen this video. I got a chuckle out of it.

I got a chuckle out of it myself!!!


Things are okay around here. We looked at a house this week that Paul liked, but I didnt like it. It didnt have a basement. It also would need a lot of repainting and I'm not a painter either. I'd rather just wait until we have enough to build a house that we like instead of settling for one that already built that needs work.

I did very well on my exam yesterday. I'm glad i'm doing well in this class. It historically has a 70% fail rate. There are 55 in my class now. I already know a good chunk that are still doing poorly after this second test. I hope they are able to get themselves out of their hole and atleast pass and that I myself can keep up the good work.

The youngest two kids started school chior last week and already my daughter has been chosen to sing in a special performance. The youngest son we've really had to get on him lately about his homework. The rule is he cannot go outside and play unless his homework is done first, so he rushes through it, and then does a sloppy job, so we have to make him redo it. The oldest son, just got a grade report and he's got all A's at this time and we are very proud. He's still running 7 miles a day with his cross country team. The other two are still playing soccer as well.

I'm excited that my Theta chapter is having a reunion next month. It's for Thetas that were there in the late 70's and early 80's. I asked the coordinator of the reunion if I could still come as well to meet other alumnae and to put faces with names that I know from being the local alumnae chapter corresponding secretary. They said for me to still come because the more the merrier So I'm going to a couple of their activities.

Aside from all of that we are in the process of planning our second annual casino party, decorating for fall/halloween, and already started xmas shopping. Our sisters are done(his and mine make 3), our mothers are done, 1 neighbor and two friends are done. My husband is half done unknown to him . Now we have one cousin, three more friends, our dads, our three nephews, 1 gramma, and our three kids left Basically xmas gifts and holiday decor for the current season and early xmas is where my paychecks are going lately I probably should cut back on the decor, but I come from a long line of "decorating fools" for seasons and holidays and ESPECIALLY Christmas, so it's hard not to keep the decorating tradition alive

I talked to my mom for a long time this morning and she said she's already started HER christmas shopping. Talk about being prepared. Everybody at work is already counting down shopping days till christmas. It's not even halloween yet! Man, this year has FLOWN by.

BTW, I thought that was a cute, creative video. I love "If Theta was a letter of the alphabet...what letter of the alphabet...would THETA...be?"

"Um, Theta IS a letter of the alphabet."

Love it. Those girls looked like they had fun making that!

Well, hope everyone is doing well and I hope you all have an amazing weekend.

Thanks for posting that video! I thought it was really cute.

I'm also glad to hear I'm not the only one who comes from a long line of "decorating fools" Haha, I feel like my paychecks lately have been going toward things for decorating too, and I'm also proud to say that I've gotten an early start on Christmas shopping.

Things have been going pretty well here. Trying to stay occupied, and fortunately things at work have been pretty busy lately, so that keeps me focused.

Aaaand, I know some of you already know this, but I wanted to post here that over in the recruitment forum, there's a brand new Theta! She was a legacy through her mom, which is also very exciting! Hopefully she'll stop in here soon and introduce herself, but I wanted to make sure you all knew the exciting news.

Hope things are going well for all of you!

Well, last night was the Debutaunte Ball announcing the 2006 debutauntes, and I was very pleased to see that TWO Thetas were in the mix. Out of 26 girls, I was very happy to see our girls representing well. They looked beautiful in their gowns.

Also, the Chi Omega local alumnae chapter's Wine and Cheese party/fundraiser went very well. I'm not sure how much money was raised, but it was a pleasure to attend and the donations at the door were very generous.

Oh my gosh... I haven't been on here in ages. I'll contribute. I've just been elected the newest Ritualist for my chapter, and I'm SO excited. In other news, I've been accepted to my summer field camp (I'm a geology major and it's required to do a field camp in between your junior and senior year) through James Madison University in VA. So I'm going to Ireland on May 18th to hike around mapping for 6 weeks. I'm super excited because I don't get to study abroad during the regular school year. I guess that's it for now.

Theta Love and Mine
Brit

I'm so excited for you that you have been elected Ritualist. I wasnt able (due to time) to try for Ritualist in my chapter. I pledged as a junior and only had time before going alum to have one office (scholarship chair) and I wasnt experienced enough to be ritualist. I'm glad you are super excited about it! I'm envious of you that you are going around Ireland in May!!!! We hope to go there in a couple of years so let me know everything you do, what your recommendations are etc etc
