Job Shadowing Part 2
Now that im finally able to get back on Ill talk more about the job shadowing project. I mentioned that i wanted to be a NICU nurse when i get older.
Well becuz of the swine flu thats going around NO ONE is allowed to be in the hospital. Last monday morning they made a law saying that no one under the age of 18 can be in the Pediatric, Maternal, or NICU area of the hospital. Well on thursday afternoon they set a law saying no one whats so ever can be in the hospital.
My friends cousin went to the hospital thursday morning because of seizures. They ended up kicking her parents and sister out of the hospital because they were enforcing that law. First of all she is only 12 or 13 and she is in a lot of pain and now she cant even see her parents. i dont think thats right. She ended up having 21 seizures in 1 day which is definitley not good.
Now i am looking for somewhere to shadow but everywhere i wanna shadow they are enforcing laws and im only 14 so they wont let me in. in the middle of january i have to turn in a long paper explaining what i shadow, y i shadowed that specific place and if i liked it or not. if i dont get that turned in then i get a 0 on it, which counts 4 times, and then ill probably fail english which is what that grade goes into.

Job Shadowing
In ninth grade we get assigned something. We have to shadow someone in the career that we would like to study through out college. Well I wanna be a NICU nurse. With the swine flu out there they wont allow me to go into there becuz im not 18 or older. I will update more on this tomorrow but I just need to find someone to shadow so that i dont get a zero on this becuz it counts five times and that will make me failing no matter what i do and i dont want that.
Halloween!
On Saturday its Halloween! Im not going out trick or treating cuz i think im too old for it. Ill let the smaller kids get the candy. My sister is going with a bunch of her friends. Im going to a friends house with a bunch of friends and well hand out candy and party while her parents are out with her siblings.
On Saturday we have a Halloween party to go to at my boyfriends house and were gonna have a ton of fun. I love going to parties near Halloween. My boyfriend and i went to a new Haunted House and let me tell you its the best haunted house ive ever been too. Its right near my house and it is part of a mansion and corn fields that surround it. It has disney producers in it. The night that my boyfriend and i went there were a lot of people there and we had to wait almost 30 minutes just to pay. The cost is a little expensive but it is soooo totally worth it.
On Sunday im going shopping with some of my friends for a winter formal dress. On December 19th (more than likley) my grade will be having a winter formal somewhere nice in town. I live in a small town so there arent very many places to choose from. In June we had a semi formal at a dedicated fire hall and it was a lot of fun but it was really small for all the kids in my grade. In June it was just people in our school, Class of 2013 that could go. From here on out, if u have a bf/gf or friends from another school they are allowed to come. I love dances and i think they are alot of fun.
Well im off to bed so that i could get up early tomorrow morning. Thank God its Friday! Whenever im sick its always becuz im so tired and i can tell im tired. I got home from school today and just wanted to sleep but i couldnt becuz i have an 11 year old sister that acts like shes 2.
Ill update more tomorrow but im off to bed now! Good Night!

Football
Normally I watch football with my dad. Well he's not here today because he has to work. Normally he turns it on and I watch it with him. Well I never know what channel they are on. So right now I'm watching 2 games on TV and my favorite team on my laptop because I can't find them on TV.
My favorite team is the New York Jets! As of right now they are winning 14-0. I will be back on here once their game is over with. It's very nervewrecking and they better win after a 2 game losing spree.

Sick Days
I am in 9th grade and I've only missed 1 day of school. I missed that day of school in 7th grade on St. Patrick's Day! I was so mad at myself for being sick and not being able to go to school. I probably could have gone to school but I was too achy and I was really dizzy.
Well my sister just missed her first day of school last week and was not too happy but she ended up having pink eye and it was bad. It was on a Thursday when she left school early and went to the doctor's to find out she had pink eye and then on Friday she couldn't go to school because she had to be on meds. for at leaast 24 hours to not be contagious.
Yesterday she started complaining her throat hurt so now she probably won't be going to school tomorrow for the second time in one month. She is acting fine but is complaining her throat, stomach, and her head are bothering her.
I hate when someone in my house is sick because I normally catch sicknesses very easily and I can't afford to be sick. With this being my first year of highschool I'm really struggling with keeping up with everything and if I miss one day of school it's going to bed very hard to catch up and then I'll be really mad. I'm trying my hardest already and I'm not doing so good.

Benefit Game
Well I just got home from the benefit game for my cousin and they made a lot of money. It was a volleyball game for the alumni. They had 15 girls and 11 guys. 14 of the girls played the first 2 games and they did raffles in between. Before the guys and the other girl started playing they said how much they had raised so far not counting concessions. IT WAS OVER 3,000 DOLLARS!!!!
We ended up leaving after the guys played a game and then finished off the raffles because my mom wanted to get home before the storm hit. So I dont know what they made total but 3,000 dollars is wonderful. My aunt said that Amanda sees 3 different doctors a day and it's 20 dollars a doctor. She has to pay 60 dollars a day for 6 weeks just for all the radiation so this amount of money was wonderful.
My aunt and uncle also have 2 more kids. Their other daughter is an army nurse and is stationed in Texas. She just got married to another army doctor in July. Their son got married 2 Augusts ago and live pretty close to home.
This game was a wonderful way to raise money for my family and we really do appriciate everything that has helped. She is doing great and is starting to get back to her normal self. I love you very much Amanda and you know that I am always gonna be here for you. Love you

Benefit Game
Today we are going to my cousins benefit game. In the beginning of September my 21 year old cousin got diagnosed with tongue cancer. She had surgrey to remove the cancer and the doctors did get it all out. She is now cancer free but still has to do radiation for 6 more weeks just to be sure.
Today they are having a benefit volleyball game at her old school. She did play volleyball all through her highschool years. She also played softball and ended up playing 3 years of softball and 1 year of volleyball in college. She just finished college and was going to start living a full life when she found out she had cancer.
This type of cancer is normally found in people that are 60 years or older and that have smaoked all their life. Well she is only 21 and has never smoked.
When she had surgrey the doctor broke her jaw and cut a portion of her tongue out and took some skin from her leg for her tongue.
She is a gorgeous young lady and is going to start living her life now. They are raising money for her and we wish the luck for her. WE ALL LOVE YOU AMANDA!!!!!
PS- I am named after her. We look a lot alike. At birth I was born on the same day as her and looked just like her when she was born.

School
So far school is going well. Im going to start updating more often now that volleyball is pretty much over. I have my last game tomorrow and wont be getting home until almost 9 at night.
I only have little time to blog because I have to get into bed. I have not been able to catch up on my sleep in forever. I am so tired and can barely make it through the day.
Hopefully that will get better. But instead of coming home and going to bed on Friday nights after a volleyball game I go to the football game with my boyfriend and don't get home till almost 11 at night and then have to get up for volleyball tournaments at 6 in the morning. SO i guess it's mostly my fault.
Well im off to bed and ill post more tomorrow night if i get home in time to get on and post. It also depends on how much homework i have to get done. Almost Friday!!!

Homecoming!
On Friday it was homecoming at my school. All that week and some of the week before we worked on our classes homecoming float. the float would be in the parade which was suppose to be friday night but it got cancelled cause it was suppose to rain all night. well i had a volleyball game so luckily for me and the rest of the team. so during second block they came over the p.a. and said that we would do the parade during flex which was in not even 15 minutes. well all the sports had to find the rest of their team so we could all walk together. we thought we would be walking around the town like it was planned for the night. yea well we were out of luck and we walked around the circle in the middle school which took not even 10 minutes. so that was the shortest parade i've ever been in and ive been in alot.
friday night i had a game that was home. normally the jv plays first and then the varsity but according to the principal homecoming is more important to the seniors so they got to play first. by the time my game was over the homecoming football game was gonna start in about 5 minutes so i got dressed, ate and walked out back of the school to the football game. unfortanutley we lost but everyone still had fun. it was pouring rain so a lot of people had to go home and change before they went to the homecoming dance which started at 9.
so at about 845 i came home and changed and then my dad took me back down to school for the dance which was from 9-12. by the time i got home everyone was in bed so i got food and went to bed. i had a lot of fun at the dance but unfortanutly they arent doing anymore so there arent many other fun things going on at school.
also last week was spirit week and we had to wear certain things each day. monday we had to wear something with animal print on it which not a lot of people did because no one has anything with animal print on it. the people that did dress up had very pretty things on. (none of the guys dressed up-TYPICAL!) on tuesday it was theme day. for our floats we had a certain theme that each grade had to do and unfortunatly ours was the 50s. we had no idea what to do. only one person and of course it was a girl that dressed up that day and she only had a jacket on. wednesday it was hick day and a ton of people dressed up. in my town a lot of families have farms so people ride their tractors into school and put wagons on the back for other kids to ride in on. its pretty fun and this year there were 16 tractors that showed up which was quite a bit for a small town like ours. on thursday it was sleeveless shirt day. pretty much the guys did that one because on thursday the jv football players wear sleeveless shirts no matter what. but he principal said for that day he didnt want to see tube tops or spaghetti straps which is pointless for the girls. on friday was our school colors day and then at the end of the day we had a pep rally. so needless to say this week was very hectic.
im gonna start to update more often! but for now i have to go get my homework done for school tomorrow. im getting the flu shot tomorrow so wish me luck!
