Halloween 2011

So again I'm getting caught up so here's Halloween....

So, very funny story about the next two pictures... My friend asked me if I'd go with her to her friend's birthday party whose birthday is on Halloween. (but this party was the weekend before) So we dressed up...  I borrowed a witch hat from another friend. One roommate had the cape (it has spider webs on it) and the other one had scrubs. So as were already on the freeway making our 40 minute drive down there my friend calls her friend to make sure it's a dress up party (every time it has been) Well, come to find out it's NOT! We were laughing so hard we were crying. So we both go in all black to a non-dress-up party. At least we found this out before getting to the front door.

The kitties also got into the holiday.

As you can see they were very excited.  ;)

I Graduated!!!

***Lots of posts forthcoming and here is the first one***

I should have blogged about this back on October 5th when it happened, but I have put it off until now. But anyways, I GRADUATED with honors as a medical transcriptionist!! Woot woot! That day was also the deadline I had to have everything done by. It all came together so very nicely. I definitely had help from above... that's for dang sure. Since then I have been applying for jobs. I've gotten some no's back, but have also taken a test for a company. There are a lot of companies hiring so I'm bound to find something... hopefully sooner than later.

 

  My friend made this countdown calender for me so I could get a visual of how close I was to being done. I got to put a smiley sticker on the days I did the right amount of transcriptions. I only did this the last few months.

 I had to crop the August calendar to get a close up of the 30th. I was SO excited to be done and that I actually FINISHED everything.

I started recording my timings to see if I was getting better. Each timing depended on what kind of transcription, the doctors voice (if he slurred his/her words), and the clarity of the transcription.

 Each number is one transcription. To get done by my year mark I had to do at least 15-20 a day... sometimes more. I calculated 900 or so total transcriptions. Crazy!

I blurred my name in the empty space on my diploma.

Coming Right Along

The Temple construction is coming along. I stole a few of these pictures from a website and a blog, so they are not all mine. I need to drive the whole 10 minutes away (if that) and take some for myself.

This first picture is a little old, but I love the sunset.

The rest of these are more recent.

My Brother

This post is dedicated to my brother. He always pesters me to update my blog so to help me with a post, he had the grand idea to blog about how COOL he is. So I did through pictures. I went through all my pictures to find the best ones. As you can see it was hard to choose just a few.
