Hey everyone!
So I'm blogging now because in the coming days I won't be on too much. Tomorrow begins my volleyball camp at the local university and it will certainly keep me busy! This is the schedule for it:
Sunday, July 20: 5:30PM- 9:00 PM
Monday, July 21-23: 8:30 AM- 8:30 PM
Thursday July 24: 9:00 AM- 12:00 PM
Based on that I should be on sparingly so I apologize in advance for the lack of comments! I will try to catch up when I have a moment or am not too tired! This camp should be fun because I'm going with one of my best friends and she's staying with me for the week too. My sister is going on a cruise with my cousin to Bermuda tomorrow so my friend will stay in her bed.

Yesterday I job shadowed a neo-natal nurse at the neo-natal intensive care unit at the hospital that I volunteer at. It was okay, not incredibly interesting. Last year I got to hold a newborn but this year all I did was watch a nurse write stuff in charts and occasionally tend to a crying baby. There's no denying though the babies were so cute. Three total- one twin who's sister went home the day before and she had to be fed through a feeding tube in her nose, a baby boy who had some irregular breathing patterns, and a baby girl who had trouble regulating her blood sugar. The sad thing about that last baby was the mom was on a drug that people take if they've previously had drug abuse problems and in about 24 hours it would register with the baby that they were no longer getting that supply of drug from their mother so they will begin crying and get figity Very sad and just proves what drugs do to people. One baby was transfering from a hospital about an hour away but I only got to see him for like 10 minutes then my shift was over. Overall it was a nice experience, but I can't say for sure if I'm going to choose that career path. Next week on Friday I'm job shadowing and ER doctor which I hope is fun!

Hey everyone! Well not much is new, but I havn't blogged since the 4th of July so thought I should catch you all up.

On Thursday night around 5:30 my brother was in a car accident, but he is ok. He was extremely lucky though because the car was totaled and all he got way a minor abrasion from the airbag deployment and a stiff neck. In a nutshell what happened was he was turning left out of a parking lot across two lanes of traffic. A lady coming in the right hand land stopped, and waved him on to go infront of her to merge into the left lane going the opposite way. When the lady stopped, he inched out but an impatient driver behind the lady skirted around the car (into the left lane!) to attempt to pass her (I know, what the hell was she thinking?!) and in doing so smashed the whole front hood from the drivers side to rougly half its size. My brother didn't need to go to the hospital or anything, he just described it as if you got hit in the head with a basketball. Now, this person who hit him had to be travelling pretty fast judging by the airbag deployment and damage to the car. Also the speed limit was 25 but, come on, like she was actually going that! He's pretty bummed because we had that car paid off, it was a Toyota Camery that was in great condition with limited miles on it and it looked like he would keep it for at least 6-10 more years. But we just have to be thankful she didn't hit the drivers side door because who knows what could have happened.

Anddd to add insult to injury (perhaps reversed...continue reading) that same brother plus my other brother went out to the bars last night with a few friends to celebrate one of the friends 21st birthday. I live in a pretty small town so just before you jump to conclusions the whole "bar" scene consists of a couple beers and a Red Sox game on the flat screen with a minimal crowd. So it was about 1 AM and they were walking downtown about to go home and they saw some old friends. My two brothers were talking with one of them and then they heard glass shatter. They turned and saw that two of the kids (one from their group, one from the recently seen group of friends) had been horsing around (not serious fighting) and crashed through the front glass of a local camera shop! Panic suddenly deployed as did a mixture of I assume curse words. One of the kids (not in the original group) had cut his wrist on the glass! Thankfully an unknown kid had previously been in Iraq and sprung into action. He took off his shirt and belt to apply pressure to the wound and told him to keep his arm up. 911 was dialed and the police were instantly there. My brother's friend that was also involved got a pretty big cut on his head and so there was panic from that as well. They stayed at the hospital until 4 AM where their friend got stitches and is now home. The other kid is stable but needed surgury and to see a specialist. His mother was a nervous wreck which is justified I suppose. Once again thankfully my brothers were not involved but you just can't be too careful after a night out.

With this event last night we have dubbed the oldest brother Charlie Brown. First the car accident, then this, and also he's job hunting as he just completed his MBA courses which as I'm sure you all know, is a pain in itself. Also he sprained his ankle pretty bad a couple nights ago playing basketball but due to the typical stubborness I guess it's just going to have to heal on its own without medical intervention. Hopefully his luck will look up soon.

The reason I mentioned Dr. Charlie Brown is because I've recently been watching that new ABC Documentary Hopkins that follows various doctors at the famed Johns-Hopkins Medical Center. I really like it- it actually shows surgeries not as dramatizations so if you're questioning a career in that field and don't know if you can stomach it, check out this show first! I saw a lung transplant last week and a heart transplant this week! It's a good summer show and there's relatively new stuff every week. There is literally a doctor named Charlie Brown which I find quite funny!

In addition to that, my summer show line-up has me hooked on The Secret Life of the American Teenager on ABC Family. Pehaps the most degrading portrayal of teenagers I've ever seen next to those MTV/VH1 dating shows, it's one of those shows that once you start watching you just want to see what happens next! I'm pretty sure no teenager's life consists of exclusively sex talk and suggestive clothing at school but hey, if it gets viewers watching, why wouldn't they do it?

For all my Office buddies, did you catch the cast on Celebrity Family Feud on Tuesday? I love it! I was a bit skeptical at first, I thought the Gladiators were going to pull away with it but then the Office came charging back with a fantastic yet cockey finish from Oscar Nunez! I didn't know a lot of those people were as funny as they are outside The Office! Like Brian, he's hilarious! And Oscar, boy was he funny. From his walking away after the obvious sudden death win answer and imitating Wolf's howling he had me laughing out loud!
