Death and Families

I came across this on another blog:



I felt that it needed to be shared here. This comes from the blog - Asystole is the Most Stable Rhythm.

This is especially appropriate because I lost my beloved grandmother last week. She was 90 and in good health. Her death was very sudden. She had a DNR about 12 years ago, but WAS resuscitated at the hospital because they couldn't find her paperwork. Later she admitted that she was glad that they couldn't find it-  and she had several WONDERFUL years left in her. She passed away Wednesday morning, in her own home, under her own terms. Family members wanted to see her live in an independent living type home, but she insisted on living in her own house, and she got her wish. I am grateful for her life, and for her guidance throughout my life, and I will miss her dearly.

Registered for Spring!

Our school had open registration for juniors at 5 am this morning. (Yesterday was seniors and grad students, tomorrow is sophomores, etc). I set my alarm for 4:55 and got up and registered. It went pretty quickly because I had my class numbers all ready to go, so I just entered the numbers of my preferred classes and it registered me. I did try to register at 4:59 - and the website reminded me that I was not allowed to register until 5 am. I had to log out and log back in. Talk about being eager!

So Spring Semester I am taking Organic Chem 2, plus the lab, Immunology, Cell bio and the lab, calculus, chapel and resistance training.

This will be my last semester of math, chapel and PE! Very exciting to be moving ahead and getting to those real "pre-med" classes.

Summer semester is physics 1 and 2 and the MCAT.

And then I will take histology, medical physiology, gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, all of those fun classes. :)

I'm ready.
