An Extra Guest for the Party

Well, friends, M and I do not relish the task of entertaining. We're both worriers...will the party goers all mix and like each other? Will there be enough food? Will there be lulls in the conversation? What if people don't like the food? What if we invite a bunch of people and no one shows? And the list goes on. We decided to brave our fears and throw a little BBQ. We have about 14-15 people coming today, and a late comer....Hurricane Hannah. Yes, that's right. I can pretty much find anything to worry about, but I had not considered we might be having a Hurricane, or at least the fall out from one. It's dreary and gray now, with rain and sprinkles this afternoon and torrential downpours and 30 mile an hour winds slated for this evening. Needless to say, we're preparing now to have these people inside but we're going to have to play musical chairs because we have about 5 seats!

In school related news, my first class was Tuesday night and it's going to be intense but I think it will be the most helpful of all of the classes I've taken yet. Also, the gods are smiling on me because there is not one paper or group project or oral presentation! There are several quizzes on aspects of the physical exam, there is one exam that you pull out of hat and do on your partner, and then you have to do a complete physical exam (this is the final in this class) which includes hitting all 110 aspects of the exam. In addition to that, there are two SOAP notes we have to write (subjective, objective, assessment, plan) and include pertinent positives and negatives. This is the stuff I had hoped to learn in undergrad but it wasn't that in depth....exciting!
