I started school at LDS Business College in Salt Lake City last week. I absolutely love it! There is no other school like LDSBC on earth! Sorry to break it to you, but even BYU doesn't compare. (I'm sure I just ruffled a few feathers with that one!) I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed this first week. Every Tuesday, we have a devotional. The president of the college spoke to us this week. President Richard's talk was outstanding. He had so much power in what he taught us. If I had been sitting on a chair (I was on the floor due to not finding a seat), I would have been on the edge of it. I literally had all my attention and focus on what he was saying by the end of his message.
It has bee
n quite a "culture shock" to go from studying music terms to medical terms. Both subjects start with the letter M, but that is where the similarity stops. If I had been told eight months ago that I would be studying to be a Medical Assistant, I probably would have laughed in your face. I'm discovering how much I like the medical field; it's something I feel I can grow with and into. In my Medical Laboratory Procedures class, we are starting to learn lab tests that are done primarily in a medical office. It's kind of weird to think that I will know how to take blood by the end of this semester.
In class next week, I get to practice taking a clean catch mid-stream urine sample! How exciting is that? I'm sure every one of you are wanting to be in my place next week when it is my turn to 1) give a sample, and 2) test another student's sample! I'm looking really forward to next week and all the knowledge I will gain this school year. Why am I looking forward to testing some one's urine? Primarily because I get to wear fancy new navy blue scrubs to class! (Pictures will follow.) That's the honest truth! I am also excited because I will have done it. There won't be a first time for that lab test again.So, here's to learning all about OSHA and CLIA this year and how to be a lawful and ethical practitioner!

Wow. Giving a clean catch urine sample is one of my least favorite things to do. I think I even prefer giving blood, which is funny because my vains are hard to find given that I usually come out of there with 2-3 pokes in each arm.
oh bytheways (ruffle) you can't compare BYU to LDSBC because you've never gone to BYU, you've only been on campus. :P hurrumph.
Oh! and have you seen Nicholas Nickelby?! I saw it last night. I think it is a movie you would really like if you haven't seen it already.
True, I have never attended BYU; however, there is a distinct spirit at LDSBC that is not at BYU.
No, I haven't seen that movie. I'll look into it since you suggested it.
