gross, I'm glad you can do that.

Surg Tech, is what I get called.  I am a surgical technology student. You can take that many ways, "ooh, interesting.." "just getting a certificate instead of a degree?" or "gross, I'm glad you can do that... so I don't have to."  All are acceptable responses.  I love it.  I'm taking my fourth anatomy class right now which i am learning new stuff every day.  But what makes it worth it? $17.00 an hour once i complete clinicals? Nah, defeating the bloodhound, I call her miss ma'am, she's military, a nurse, a bloodhound.  She is an amazing teacher, in the sense of she really knows how weed out the weak.  In my group of acceptance there were 10, now there are three, and there are still 12 months left.

Say no to no.

Isn't it high time someone got negative about negativity?
Yes it is.
Look around.  The world is full of things that, according to nay-sayers, should never have happened.
"Impossible."
"Impractical."
"No."
And yet "yes."
Yes, men have played golf on the moon.
Yes, straw is being turned into biofuel to power cars.
Yes, yes, yes.
What does it take to turn no into yes?
Curiosity.  An open mind.  A willingness to take risks.
And, when the problem seems most insoluble, when the challenge is hardest, when everyone else is shaking their heads, to say:  let's go.

awkward welcome.

I feel like it is the first day of class; however, it is the first day of my first blog. I thought I would start with the basics; ultimately, and awkward welcome.  kimberly is the preference.  As much as I love having an article at the beginning of my name, the kimberly may sound a little vain.  I believe that this introduction should suffice, hopefully one will learn about me as I write.

welcome.
