Life

So I was thinking of what I could write in this blog today while I was driving to my lecture. Well a song came on that is from the Chicago soundtrack (a new obsession) that I realized summed up a great way to live life, and how I enjoy living it:

VELMA: While truckin' down the road of life, although all hope seems gone, I just move on.
ROXIE: When I can't find a single star to hang my wish upon, I just move on, I move on.
VELMA: I run so fast, a shotgun blast can hurt me not one bit.
ROXIE: I'm on my toes cause heaven knows a moving target's hard to hit.
VELMA & ROXIE: So as we play in life's ballet, we're not the dying swans, we just move on, we move on.
ROXIE: Just when it seems we're out of dreams, and things have got us down.
VELMA: We don't despair, we don't go there, we hang our bonnets out of town.
VELMA & ROXIE: So there's no doubt we're well cut out to run life's marathon, we just move on, we just move on.
So fleet of foot, we can't stay put, we just move on.
Yes, we move on!

lol the sad part is I’ve listened to this soundtrack pretty much everyday for a good 5 days now. Sometimes lessons are learned slowly.

Plain and Simple

So the lesson I have learned this week…well actually since I started post secondary is………

I am human and there are only 24 hours in a day

Laryngotracheobronchitis

Definition:

• One of the “croup syndromes”
• Viral infection of the upper airway mainly affecting children between 6 months – 3 years of age
• Inflammation of the larynx and trachea causes the airway to narrow

So there is my bit of knowledge and a really awesome word you can use and people will think you are smarter for using it.

Politically Correct in its Uncorrectness

So seeing as I have not updated in the last 2 days I will now think of 3 new things to add. This should be interesting...

The knowledge that I shall impart upon you is this, when blogging remember to save your blog as you go along. Otherwise you will find the post you had just typed will randomly disappear...and it is not fun.

Now the knowledge which was connivingly erased previously was this. Why as a society are we oh so fond of our use of the "politically correct"? Why must we always partake in this charade? We all know what we truly mean, yet we continue to mask our true words. Why for example must I say things such as "oh that poor woebegone homeless individual", when really I would prefer to state the sentence as "wow poor hobo, that's gotta suck" (or something along the same vein such as this example). I feel that stating things "politically correct" is building our society to be one of deceit and lies as we are not able to speak our true thoughts...save on our blogs or amongst other individuals of the same frame of mind.

That my friends is my knowledge for the last few days. How you may ask was that 3 days worth of knowledge. Firstly the use of the term hobo was one bit of knowledge, I feel it is a term we should use more...mostly because I find it highly amusing. Secondly, the use of the term woebegone as it was the word of the day today and that my friends is an important thing. Using the word of the day teaches you many new words you can work into conversations to make yourself look knowledgeable.

That is all my friends for today. If you feel you have been cheated and you were not fully satisfied with the knowledge you have gained all I can say is this...

I shall strive to produce more rapt and informative posts...but come on blogs are free you're bound to get random bits of nothingness thrown in too.

Until next time,

Pediatric Medication Calculation

Something New I Learned Today:
Pediatric medication calculation questions are long, daunting and are fairly different from adult calculation questions. In order to calculate the medication it is based on the dosage (g/mg/mcg) the weight (kg) and on a daily total.

How will this Help You:
It may not help anything at all unless you are a med student or like me a nursing student.

As is the point of this blog I just provide you with anything new I have learned.

Insanity

Definition:
1: a deranged state of the mind usually occurring as a specific disorder (as schizophrenia)
2: such unsoundness of mind or lack of understanding as prevents one from having the mental capacity required by law to enter into a particular relationship, status, or transaction or as removes one from criminal or civil responsibility
3 a: extreme folly or unreasonableness b: something utterly foolish or unreasonable

While I am in fact not clinically insane, I feel that in order to keep life interesting we should all have bouts where we have a complete lack of understanding because in these times we are able to gain knowledge from our ignorance.

Basically I'll write this blog about whatever new bit of information has come my way, or to whatever piques my interest at the time. Hopefully this will keep things interesting.
