Thoughts, Adventures, & Daily Life of a Home-Schooled High-Schooler

    Ever since I started this blog (nearly a year ago) my Blog Link has been big-sis-2-seven.blogspot.com.     I had chosen that name because I thought it fit very appropriately. But now that Mr. Anthony has come along, that name is no longer exactly accurate. I thought about changing it to big-sis-2-eight or big-sis-2-seven+1, but I'm not sure if I really like either of them.    If you have any suggestions, comment below!

      Several weeks ago I ordered a better stethoscope than the one that HACC gave to each of the students. I decided that I wasn't going to use it until I passed my Mid-term test. Kinda use it as an incentive to study more. You can read my about my EMT study sessions here .       Last night, I received my test score(I passed!) and opened my stethoscope. If you look closely at the bell (the part you put on your patient), you can see where I got my name engraved.

      We'll just say shopping with your younger siblings can be interesting. Really interesting, especially when they are still learning the skill of pushing shopping carts and it seems that every other aisle you see somebody you know(or somebody that knows you!). The energetic shoppers.  I can only imagine they are thinking, "how fast do you think she will let us go down this aisle?"      I think the next time I take them shopping I will wear a pair of boots, or else some type of ankle protection!

         . . . I do much, much more studying than I ever remember doing during High-School. But why am I writing a post about studying for a test???           Because it makes another blog post😉, and I have my Mid-Term EMT test tonight. This photo is from another study time several weeks ago. It appears that I'm studying the brain? Maybe it was the stroke chapter. When I showed the photo to my aunt, she told me that she only likes the top 1/3 of the picture: the laptop and food. All for now! Back to the land of textbooks, big, hard-to-pronounce-words, and brain hemorrhages.* *Note:*      I'm not experiencing a brain hemorrhage, only studying how to provide care to a patient experiencing one!
