Starting school!

   So, I had my first day of school today.  I've already finished my first homework assignment and part of three others.  I'm taking Intro to Anatomy, Strategies for Success, Computer Fundamentals, and Medical Terminology.  I have a feeling the first two will be easy A's, as long as I do my homework like I'm supposed to.  The other two I don't know anything about yet, because I haven't had them yet.  But from what I understand, Medical Terminology is just memorizing, memorizing, and a bit more memorizing.  I met a guy who was fairly close to graduating from the Medical Assisting Program today who had taken that class already and told me a little about it.  It's 400 words that I have to learn and most of the time in class will be spent watching various videos.  I'm curious what we'll be learning in Computer Fundamentals, considering the electronically savvy family I come from.  I just hope I learn new things.  I'm sure I will.
   Now I just need to find an afternoon / weekend job and start looking for my externship (that was something else Justin suggested, look for that now).  I'm kinda hoping to do the externship at the Timpanogos Hospital considering I already have ties to that one, but I'll take what I can get.
   I will attempt to keep you updated on my school life.  It looks to be a REALLY fun next couple of months. :D
