Hi!
Well, here I am blogging before a class again. I just thought I'd take a minute to update you on my life, in case you were curious. ;)
It turns out I've been promoted within the Peer Health Exchange organization to a position in the Leadership Council, which is great! I'm happy to be able to add that to my resume... Plus, I've found that I really love being in a managerial, organizational-type occupation. So the Leadership Council Position, which basically means I'll be coordinating the teaching of a workshop within the USC Chapter of PHE's organization, is perfect for me. Also, since I really really love PHE, it's really my pleasure to be able to have a bigger part within the organization.
My workshop is Tobacco; not the most interesting of workshop topics, but an important one nonetheless. Originally, I was supposed to be in the Mental Health workshop, but since I got promoted to Leadership Council, I was moved to the Tobacco workshop. Woohoo!
What else... Oh, this past Saturday the USC football team played against Syracuse and won by a lot. Good job, SC! Unfortunately, it got REALLY cold after the sun went down, and I think I may have caught a cold... My nose is sniffly and I've got a slight cough, but hopefully it doesn't take too long for my body to get over it!
Me and my good friend Jordan at the game!
On Saturday and Sunday mornings, I did some more of the blood pressure screening volunteer work that I do for CHIP (Community Health Involvement Project). Saturday I woke up at 6:30 and did five straight hours of blood pressure screening at a local health fair; in total, I screened over forty people. It was exhausting, but so rewarding! And on Sunday, we were at a local Methodist church; the people there were so happy and so grateful that our organization was there to offer them blood pressure screening, I couldn't help but smile the whole time.
This is me at the health fair on Saturday morning. If I recall correctly, this guy actually had pretty excellent blood pressure. That always makes me happy, to be able to tell someone that they have good blood pressure. ^___^
... Okay actually I lied at the beginning of this post, when I publish this blogpost, it won't be before class anymore. I had to stop writing to go to class and now I'm back home, continuing it. But in essence, there you have it, my week last week.
This week, I have an exam for my chemistry class tomorrow, and my first PHE meeting as an LC tomorrow evening! I'm excited. :D This weekend, on Saturday, the USC Football team will be playing an away game against Arizona State... I'll let you know what the results of that are!
Before I go, I wanted to share this link with you... It's a collection of photos of baby animals, and THEY ARE SO CUTE!!! Click on the doggie below! After a long day of classes with a slight cold, I'm not going to lie to you, these made me much happier. ^_^
And... I believe that's all for now. Until next time, take care! :)
