Medical Assiting

So although I was told I’d have to wait 4-6 months until I could get into the Medical Assisting program at the Logan BATC, they called and told me there was an opening so I’m starting on July 11!!! I’m so excited I can’t wait to start! It’s usually a 10-month program but since I’ve already done a lot of the classes at USU, I should finish up in 6 months if I’m quick. Although… I’m kinda nervous for the 7-hours-5-days-a-week. Yeah that’s right, it will be like high school again…Classes start at 8:30 and end at 3:30 so they will be looong days. We’re told to wear scrubs every day which I’m kind of excited about because they’re so comfortable lol! The program is self-paced so apparently all you do ALL day is read, study, and take tests at your own pace. I just want to skip past all that and go right to giving shots and drawing blood and all that fun stuff! Right now I’m working as a CNA at a nursing home and honestly I’m ready for a change. Medical Assistants make only $2-3 more than a CNA but its MUCH better work and it’s a step up from a CNA and I want to further my education while I wait to get into a nursing program. I was planning on moving back to Logan and even had a potential roommate but then I decided that I wouldn’t have the money and so I’ll be living at home and just carpool with my friend Jamie who’s also doing the program.




OH and…my dad turned 50 last weekend. Can you believe it? It’s so weird to me that he’s in his FIFTIES!! We had a little surprise party for him (although I think he had it figured out cause he kept randomly smiling/laughing and such) and a bunch of people came over. We decorated the tables and put a bunch of random stuff on their like Gas Relief medicine, a “Surviving life after 50” flask, a hearing enhancer, and other fun stuff.






OH and…I went to the Gateway in SLC with some friends a couple days ago and ended up buying the Rosetta Stone language learning program for $500 because learning Italian and one day going to Italy is one of my biggest goals so I don’t even feel bad for buying it haha. Oh and here’s a fun video of us getting lost in SLC and accidentally heading to Reno/the airport haha I love my friends!
