Good Day

I guess so far the day has been okay. Yesterday was way better though! Being the ultimate ninajs in the ultimate hiding spots with everyone was so great!

ANYWAYS

We had a speaker who talked to us about sovereignty in tribes and I finally got the gist of what it really means and how conflicting of a word it is in itself. It’s crazy how difficult it is to define the word and try and understand it when there’s so many questions as to what it really means. I’m surprised I even understand it…ANYWAYS

After, we snapped a few pictures with Deron Marquez (thee speaker), a few people ran into the fountain..thing?

cool cool cool.

Western University

Western University was pretty awesome, I might even consider studying nursing there! I was a pretty disappointed that I didn’t get to see the whole body of the cadaver (just a foot and a shoulder..weirdddd) but I was glad I was able to experience holding the heart and lungs and view the various parts of the brain.

It started off with us learning about reflexes and massage techniques and ended with us asking the doctors questions.  I was very happy about that, that’s when I found out cadavers don’t really move (wow did I feel dumb!) and they actually have a nursing school! One day I might be sporting one of those adorable “Everyone Loves a Nurse” shirts!

Toodles! (Happy Birthday Mommy!)

So farrr

I’ve enjoyed meeting most of the other people here — including our lovely mentors! Some of you I haven’t gotten to talk to yet but we still have 11 days to go sooo I still have time (:

I also enjoyed the sheep brain lab and the history class the most. I am looking forward to, as well as worried about, working with the cadavers tomorrow but hopefully it won’t be as bad as everyone makes it seem.

Toodles!

Anyways I guess I have to talk about today..so I did a little spying on our youtube speakers. 

Their presentation about parking lots made me laugh and influenced me and Monica to dance in a parking lot to a car alarm…. all the while nobody documented it. Thanks guys!
