It's in my genes
This evening while watching VH1's 100 Hottest Hotties I saw a thing about Orland Bloom (he was somewhere around 60) and the guy talking about him said something to this extent: "Maybe when this star starts making non-dork movies..." he'll move up on the list (I don't remember the last part all that well). And I couldn't stop laughing.
Anyhow, my class is called Wilderness First Responder (WFR, pronounced 'woof-er') amd it is essentially a wilderness first aid class. Today we were learning about injuries to the chest: the ribs and the lungs. And one of the possibilities was something that could happen was an Pneumothorax, which is where air enters the plueral space (the space between the chest wall and the lungs) through a hole in the lungs). This can cause Tension Pneumothorax which is where trapped air in the plueral space compresses the lung. To fix this one has to stick in a lung tube which lets air out but not in. Isn't that neat? Apparently one of the medics in the movie Three Kings pulls this little procedure. I'll have to watch it again. Upon hearing about this I wanted to become a doctor. I mean my grandfather was a doctor, my dad is one. It seems I am destined to be one. I guess I'll just change my major from Computer Science to pre-med and completely change my life track.
I put in all the big words and stuff there to see if my dad knew what the heck I was talking about. I just talked to him on the phone and he did. And as it turns out he has done stuff like that before. Who knew he was so hard core?

First aid is barrels of fun.Except when you have to perform it on people; then, not so much.
