Escape from death

1-27-14

Being nine years old entails alot of things. Your so young and innocent to the world anbd don't know about life at all and how easily is can be taken away from you. Well one summer my family and I went on a little vacation. We went to Elephant rock park, camping for the weekend and then we went to this little place called Johnston shedends. It was a place you could go to drink, swim, party and have a good time. WELL little did my nine year old self know I would have to scariest moment of my life there.

My brother and I were the first two to reach the water after raceing out of the car. He is 15 at the time of this trip. Of course we are tring to beat eachother to bthe water and see who can swim to the other side the fastset. Little did we know that this particular water park had about 15-20 small waterfalls all through out it. Now if your an adult at this park it can be extreamly fun. The water falls are not that deep at all and when you go down them its like a slide. My brother was the first to jump in and he did fine. I just watched him go down about 3 of the falls in about ten seconds and he signaled me to jump on in, so i did without thinking at all that I can't swim very well, at all.... I hit the first waterfall and go down only about 5 feet, but that five feet took me under for abo;ut 2o seconds, I was unable to get up and out of the water to catch my breath because the currenbt was so strong. The momenbt right as I reached the surface of the water to enhale a huge breath I went straight down another water fall. By this time I have been under for who knows how long. I think I hot my nose on a rock, all I know is it really hurt and the only thing I was doing was trying to hold it under the water to stop the pain.

The next thing I know I'm being pulled off onto the shore line by a man whom I have never seen before. He looks to be my dads age with his wife, im assuming, standing right next to him. I thank the man over and over for helping me out of the water and he is extremely thankful that I'm just ok. 

Working Upfront

1-27-14

I work at a vet hospital in nixa missouri, and while working there we encounter a lot of diffrent people all around the area. My job there is to clean kennels, walk dogs, clean the whole hospital AND sometimes I work upfront with the public. Well on one particular afternoon a woman came in with a cat. Now this was no ordinary woman and this was no ordinary cat. Both matched eachother completley. The gal looked to be in her forties or fithties and the cat was around 16 years old. The woman, lets call her the crazy cat lady, decided she needed to make an appointment for her cat because the poor animal had not eaten for a couple days. She came in around 4:30 that afternoon, mind you we close at 6 and stop seeing people at 5. Anyways so the woman comes in, looking extreamly distrought caring her cat which is growling and hissing the entire time i'm checking her in. I lead her back into the room and let her know the doctor will be with her shrotley.

By now this woman has been in the exam room for about 10 minutes now with the vet. Dr.MCclure has run  some blood tests on the cat and found out it has pancreatic cancer. Now this can sometimes be cured but most of the time its very unlikely, especially in an older animal. Dr.McClure proceeds into the exam room to inform the crazy cat woman of her kitty's new illness. As the doctor says, "I'm sorry crazy cat lady but your cat has pancreatic cancer" the woman proceeds with her screaming and sobbing comment. "OH NOOOO! My cat has diabetes... how could this be! She's going to die of it. I'm such a horrible pet owner." The cat lady continues on this rat for about a minute until the doctor interrupts and and says "No mam you cat has pancreatic cancer, NOT diabetes. She will be fine for now but we need to send you home with some medicine. I'm sorry if my statement was unclear".

Jung Typology

1-26-14

First off I would like to state that I believe these tests are absolutely garbage and that they don't work at all. It is based on what most everyone has in common with each other, this way no matter what you get it will always represent something about you. It might be dead on or it might be a bit far fetched BUT you can typically relate to any answer.

That being said my type was ENFJ. I'm Extravert, iNtuitive, have Feelings and I am a bit judging. I personally agree with everything this "test" has said about me. My personality category believes in their dreams, they are global learners and they see the big picture. I most definitely do all of those things. My top career choices are counseling, education, management and politics. All could suit me for a possible career. The person siting next to me could have a different personality type but we probably have some common career options that we can both relate to.

I don't think this text will help my writing skills improve. If I had an open mind about the test, I am sure it would bring me satisfaction knowing that I now know so much more about my own personality. But alas I do not have an open mind with this test so it brings me no satisfaction.

Linkin log

01-24-14

Well seeing a linkin log makes me think of children. So assuming children play with linkin logs I will also assume that their is a mother or father who has children that gos to OTC and somehow the linkin log was on them. They must have droped it out of their purse or backpack while going to class. Their life might be so busy that they didn't know their child/children put a log on their person. I wonder what their life is at home with their children. Do they get enough sleep? Do they have time to work out or go on dates? Are they going to college at an older age to further support their children or maybe they had children young and are being pressured to go to school by their parents or garidans. Do they dread going to school because they miss their children or do they crave the chance at escape from them.? There are so many things this person who lost the linkin log could be. Maybe they themselves where playing with the linkin log and forgot to put one of them away. They might be a building expert and have over 1000 of them at their home. The person could be a major in architecture and have them so they could create a model of a new home they were thinking about drawing. They may have lost that piece that was essential to the project and now they won't be able to complete it. HOPEFULLY that's no the case. If they have linkin log pieces I wonder if they may have other fun building materials to play with like legos or train set still needing to be put together. There home might be filled with likin log pieces that have accidentally fallen on the floor on down some mysterious crack. You only find out where it is a month later when your cleaning behind the couch or sweeping under the table in the kitchen. All my assumptions may be wrong though. The likin log could belong to any person who has been at OTC today.
