This N' That

Except for the huge mega comprehensive assessment video, that can't exceed two hours (TWO HOURS?!?), I have completed the sectional videos. Tonight's was harder for me and also longer. It did exceed the 20 min time limit by 48 secs. I hope she accepts it. Musculoskeletal has always been a snoozefest for me and not my thing. I don't know if I have ever actually mentioned my thing (Cardiovascular with pulmonary running a close second. I never get tired of learning about the heart.)  I have always been fascinated by the brain/brain disoders but not in a way that makes me ever want to work in neurology or psychology. I love reading or watching programs about genetics/genetic disorders but not enough that I could ever see myself doing tedious research. Pregnancy and fetal development were way awesome before Gateway soured the whole thing for me forever.

I digress... I am sure Brandon is super thrilled that he won't be my video subject for awhile. He actually missed the last football game because of it. Here's how the conversation went.

B: (in his usual last minute fashion)- I want to go the the game tonight.
Me: (because of my typical last minute,gotta get this done tonight  in order to mail tomorrow)- You can't! I have to videotape you tonight.

Yep, it's a good thing no one overheard that conversation. I made it up to him.

Fortunately, the comprehensive isn't due until the end of November which is really good. My weekly written assignments will also slow down to bi-weekly until the end of November. Yay! I'll still have a weekly test or quiz but it is going to slow down. YAY!

The slow down is a very good thing because I am going on a mission trip to Haiti.  This trip planning actually started last year but, as time went on, I didn't really think I would have the vacation time available and I backed out. It seems that the number of folks planning kept dwindling until only the pastor was left. He asked me again if I was interested and I told him that the vacation time was an issue for me. He then said that he could  tweak the dates and now I am going. My brother-in-law might be going too if he can get his passport in time. I'll be leaving two weeks from today and I am getting excited and more than a little nervous. But, good grief the flight leaves at 6:15!  I EEEEK! have never booked a flight that early (because I really despise getting up at 3am) but I can see why it is beneficial to arrive during the day.

I am posting these literal video links that de23 posted today for those who may not have seen them. I was literally LOL here in my little office so I had to share the fun. Here are the links to "Head Over Heels" and "Take On Me". I think growing up in the 80's made them even funnier. Brandon didn't seem to get the hilarity quite as much.

I haven't really had much time to do much TV discussion, nevermind that I have yet to watch last week's Atlantis. It just occured to me that I am only watching Atlantis, Sanctuary, and Heroes at the moment (aside from my intermittent forays into HGTV, Mystery Diagnosis, and a bit of this and that from Science and Natgeo) That's pretty amazing for me. Netflix is getting all my money for nothing at the moment. scarym1 , are you watching Heroes because they are certainly shaking things up this season. ( Heroes spoilers just in case you haven't seen it..... )
