One more class finished!

Ok, so I aced the final in my Human Disease class. It was open book, but I was still worried. I ended up with an 85 B for final grade. Not too shabby, I don't think. 3 more quarters and I will be done. Next quarter starts Monday, Sept 29th...I have to take "Business Document Processing", which I think is a long way to say keyboarding. I have no idea why I have to take this, as I have been typing all my life, and working on computer for at least half of my life. Oh well, Hope is paying, so I guess I will take it and be happy. More later.....I have an awful headache......

Just call me Grace!

Well, I have missed 2 classes this week. I fell in the parking lot on the way in Wednesday night. The sun was at that wonderful spot in the sky where you can't get away from it, and I did not see one of those metal speed bumps in the road. Needless to say, I fell all over it. I'm sure that was a sight to see. And when I sat up, it was no better. Blood was pouring from a cut on my nose, plus from inside my nose, filling my mouth too. Gross! Several people came to help, and the security guys showed up as well. Turns out, one of them knew my dad from the police dept. They called the EMT's to come check me out, and it was decided I should go to the ER. So, I got my first ride in an ambulance. No lights or siren tho. I was there for about 2 hours. No broken bones thank goodness. They xrayed my right knee because it was swelling and painful, but said it was "soft tissue damage". It is ugly, all black, blue, and green from the bruising. The fingers on my left hand are bruised and scraped with some swelling. And then of course my nose is scraped and sore. No stitches tho, but it might could have used some. I think I may end up with a scar on the bridge of my nose. But thank God, I am for the most part ok. Plus, they gave me good drugs...lol!

Back to School!

Yes, it is true. I have gone back to school. And at my age...LOL! It all started when I went on the church cruise to the Bahamas. I met a lady there who was going to Columbus Tech for Medical Coding. That is what I want to do, and have wanted to do for a very long time. Anyway, she let me know that the Hope Scholarship pays for this course. So I applied, and was accepted. I have 2 classes this quarter (I think that's the right term). English 101 and Medical Terminology. I already had to give a presentation in English, up in front of the class! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I guess there IS a difference being 48 instead of 16...LOL! I am so proud of myself for stepping out and doing this. It has been a long time since I was proud of anything. Now, if I can just stay awake for classes, and work the next day. Wish me luck, and stamina!
