The Paris Vendetta, Steve Berry

India
Paris Vendetta
Cotton Malone and his team are at it again. Someone in the world is threatening the balance of how it works, and of course Cotton finds himself  in the middle of it all. This one though is incredibly personal, and involves a complicated history for Thorvaldsen, Cotton’s best friend. Cotton does not know how deep his vendetta goes in terms of who is all involved and in what aspect. There are a lot of twists and turns, and a deeper history than anyone could imagine, Napoleon’s treasure is only a small part of what is in store.
As usual I loved Steve Berry’s story and I always think he does a great job of making history interesting. Interweaving fact with fiction. This one though did take me a lot longer to read for a lot of different reasons. I was starting a new job, there was school, I read some other things in between just a lot. If you’ve started the Cotton Malone series, just keep going. They keep getting more and more interesting. Until next time,

Merry Christmas to all…!

India

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!! I hope everyone enjoyed their time with loved ones, family, and friends. I hope everyone makes time to tell someone you love that you love them, and care about them, it could be the best present he or she receive.

My family is incredibly small, but we always have a wonderful time being with each other, cooking, eating, and exchanging gifts. Typically for me I always ask for an Amazon gift card for more books, but with me moving to a new apartment, I asked for apartment things, and I got a lot of them. With the way my Christmas break is going I should be finishing a lot more books and I can’t wait to see what I finish before the new year!!

Keep on the look out and Merry Christmas!

Until next time,

#MedicLife: IFT/NET

India
What a lot of people don’t know about EMS is that there is a part that is not strictly 911, emergency, go lights and sirens, SOMEONE IS DYING!
There is another part that is strictly what we call “non-emergency transport”, or “interfacility transport”.
These transports happen when patients, most of the time critical, ventilator dependent, or can’t otherwise walk or get to the hospital themselves, have to go from one hospital to another for specialty care or a doctors appointment. Sometimes these happens from home to hospital, or from assisted living to hospital because these people cannot be safely transported in a car, and therefore have to go by ambulance.
For the time being this is what I do. I like it because it is steady, and you know what you’re getting into. I also get to learn a lot more about medical problems, and not just more skills, and a whole bunch of trauma. I really like what I do so it makes it easier to go to work every day. Until next time,

Season to be Thankful!

India
Thankful
I know that it is no longer Thanksgiving, but that doesn’t mean it is time to be any less thankful. For me, 2014 has been a magnificent year.
Being that my birthday is in January, I always start out the year with my birthday, and thankful that I’ve seen another one.
March I had the opportunity to go on a Spring Break trip with my best friend, and I initiated 6 incredible women into my sorority.
April I graduated from one of the best universities, University of Pittsburgh, and earned a degree that I worked very hard for, and am currently working in my degree field.
May I finally had the time to relax and reflect on my time at Pitt
June I was hired as a new paramedic, and I got to travel across the world with friends and family for the ultimate vacation.
When I got back in July, I still had a job waiting for me, where since then I have met amazing coworkers and friends.
August I started more school as a post-bac student to try and further my education.
October I was able to go back to Alma Mater and see all of my friends at Homecoming.
November I signed a lease on my first big girl apartment
and now coming up in December, I will be celebrating 6 months at my first big girl job!!
There are so many other things to be thankful for, like my family, and my friends who are always there for me to help me do whatever. For example, I told my best friend I got an apartment, and the first thing she told me was to let her know when I needed help moving in! That’s love right there.
I can go on and on about my mom and my dog, but that’s not necessary. So, just take a moment and remember everything that happened this year, all the good! There’s no need to dwell on the bad, and be thankful that each of those experiences happened. Until next time,

First Homecoming!

India
image
I just graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in the spring, and I cannot believe that it is already time for me to go back for Homecoming! I cannot wait to see my Pitt family that I spent an incredible four years with. There’s something about going to back to a place you called home for so long. You want to see what has changed, what has stayed the same. You want to visit all of the places that you spent so much time at. Of course some of the biggest experiences come from the people that you spent the time with, and that is what I cannot wait for. Being from the south, not too many of us choose to go up north for school, so there’s not that many people at home who know Pitt traditions. Luckily, I talk to people pretty regularly from school, so I’m never too Pittsick… is that a thing? I’m making it a thing. If there’s one thing I learned while at school was how to be proud of my school. I spent years being part of Alumni organizations that help to keep people together, and I knew after I graduated I wanted to make sure I stayed connected. I love going to Atlanta Pitt Club events, so I can meet other Atlanta alumni to sing Sweet Caroline with. Also being involved in Greek life at Pitt (shout to Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.), I talk to my line sisters all the time as well as other members of Pitt NPHC. Being able to see all of them face to face again is what is going to make all of the difference. Did I mention we’re playing Georgia Tech for homecoming?! It’s like a double home game for me! Also don’t forget about teachers! I was in a program where I had very few teachers, which meant they knew all of us, and I spent two stress-filled, amazing years, I know does that make any sense? I have to make sure I visit my teachers to let them know that I’m doing great, and they helped me out a lot.
I would say if you get a chance to go to your homecoming, GO! Save up the money take the time, to revisit a place that helped to shape who you are today. Without the University of Pittsburgh I wouldn’t be a paramedic, wouldn’t be a member of Mu Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc, and I wouldn’t know the feeling of having traditions that matter. Oh, and I wouldn’t have a reason to do the Pitt rendition of Sweet Caroline whenever it comes on. Here’s to homecoming! HAIL TO PITT!!! Until next time,
