Vamping up for school!

I'm getting vamped up and I'm already studying out of my text book. The class is only 2 months long and there's so much to know!! My studying has already come in handy. Kinda fun when the light bulb goes on and you understand what things mean in a different light. I'm studying infection control and it's very interesting. I'm very glad that I have hospital experience because a lot of things are very familiar such as all the isolation precautions posted on the doors (there are different kinds), and the N95 respirator.
I hope I get a job in a Laboratory. It's easier when the blood comes to you! The reason I say that is because I've delivered food trays in a hospital. You take a cart full of food and go floor to floor, room to room, then go back for more. Up and down, up and down. Quite a workout! The phlebotomist does the same thing...I'd bump into them all the time :P. Though, not pushing a cart sounds like a bonus.

My Sister in Law, Kym, is having her baby shower on next Saturday :) Yay! I'm excited for my niece Allyson Eden to be born in October :D My mom and I are going to do some games. I helped with my other sister in law's baby shower so I have plenty of ideas!

Me? A Vampire? Yes indeedy!

Well, I'd like to think so. :) Unfortunately I don't sparkle in the sunlight :( I applied for the phlebotomy (drawing blood ect...) program last month and I've been anxiously awaiting some indication that I have or have not been accepted. Every time I would think about the mail box my heart would beat faster and I would get a little nervous. Today I finally got my "Welcome" letter. Woohoo! I had been going back and forth about the whole idea of going back into phlebotomy. At first I didn't even consider it. At first when Jake and I talked about me going to school in the fall I considered going into the CNA program. The more I thought about it the more I thought about phlebotomy. Soon it was all I could think about. So I applied. They only accept 20 applicants (I have no idea how many apply) and they mail you a application/interview questions.

3 years ago I moved to Salt Lake City and lived with my Great Aunt and Great Uncle while I went to the Utah School of Phlebobomy. I did my externship at the University of Utah Redwood clinic laboratory. My supervisor wrote some awesome things about me to my instructor and my instructor said that she never does that for students! They even offered me a Saturday/Sunday position! Unfortunately I didn't take the job-which I should have- and moved back to Colorado.

I love phlebotomy and I'm soooo excited to be going back into it again! I'm going back to Vampire school!

Burr's blog is born!

Welcome to Amber's blog. I've wanted to create a little blog for some time now and I visited my friend Joni's blog yesterday and felt, again, the need to make a blog. So I did it...I took the plunge and hope that it turns out right like my bread I just made from my bread maker. I used it for the first time today!! I kept walking by and peeking into the little window and saying, "that doesn't look right" or "the bread isn't rising". So I had to keep myself occupied so I wouldn't drive myself crazy. I took a nap and when I returned it was smelling wonderful and it was looking pretty good. I have yet to cut into it but the smell is devine!

I apologize for the weak looking blog so far. It's still under construction!
