I just completed the first semester of my junior year at Georgia Health Sciences University. It was constant hard work, but so interesting. I spent many days looking at blood cells in a microscope. I learned how to test for syphilis, sickle cell anemia, and a lot of other things that I've already forgotten. I also spent three days at a draw site learning how to draw blood. It was scary, but I did perform a few draws on real patients including one from a guy's hand. This coming semester I have to spend 30 hours drawing blood from hospital patients so the three days was good practice.
All but one of my angora and pygora goats have died so we bought some replacements. They are nubian-boer crosses. The brown one is Fudge and the other three, who all look alike, are Oscar, Elmo, and Kidd.
We did have a little fun this summer. We went camping at Gold Lake one weekend with the pontoon boats. Rocky caught one fish that he had to throw back. It was fun paddling around in the lake, but on shore the mosquitoes were so bad that we went home a day early. I think we went through three bottles of repellent. We even had to use it on Carly, her poor face was covered in welts.
Carly and I went hunting with Rocky a couple of times this fall. Carly really likes being out in the woods, she doesn't even mind the safety vest.
We only made it out to Fern Ridge a couple of times this summer. Carly absolutely loves the Seadoos.
