I'm going to a technical school to learn Medical Billing and Coding. The first semester is five weeks long and ends on the eighteenth of August. In Anatomy and Physiology, I will be learning Basic Word structure which includes Root words, Prefixes and Suffixes. That took 300 note cards. I'm learning the Integumentary System which is your skin, hair, nails, etc. Next up is the Cardiovascular System and the Respiratory System and last up is the Digestive system.

That's the first five weeks in Anatomy and Physiology. Needless to say, my fingers are cramped, my head is full of Latin and Greek terms and I'm spending my nights flipping those damn index cards until my fingers have little paper cuts.

But, I got a A on my first test. I've got two more semesters of Anatomy and Physiology to go.

My next class is Medical Office Procedures. We learn how to fill out patient charts, scheduling, filing, things like that. We had to write a essay about one of the major health organizations, like WHO or CDC or Department of Health and Human Services. I picked the last one and got an A. We had a test today and I think I did pretty well.

My favorite class is Law and Ethics. I think I'm the only one in the class that actually likes the class and the teacher, which is a good thing seeing that she's going to be my teacher when we get into Coding.

Had my first test in that class on Monday and got an A.

I wasted my educational opportunity when I was younger but I'll be damned if I'm gonna waste it now.

To all of you who follow my stories, I'm sorry to say that they are all on hiatus. My homework load is 4 hours a night. I come home at 4, eat dinner, relax for a bit and by 5pm, I've got the books open and I'm reviewing, filling out blanks and coloring diagrams.

There's just no way I can write with this heavy of a class load and it's just gonna get worse. In February, I start what they call an Externship. That means instead of going to class, I got to a Doctor's office and do on the job training. I've started to look into what kind of office I want to be in. I'm going to look into hospice care or perhaps dermatology.

My Ikkou is just wonderful, dressing up in loli cheerleader outfits and shaking their booty for me. (At least that's what you're wearing in MY mind.)

You've got a twin in PA. She looks so much like you that I keep wanting to call her Koumy!

I miss you so damn much! I miss talking to you, writing little silly drabbles for you and chatting with you online. Honey? I wanna watch House with you and be all geeky and nerdy and breakdown all the medical terms!

Sleepy now. Five AM comes pretty early.
