These past couple of weeks I have been to my internship four times. It has been a little

tiring. My job consists of doing paperwork in the main office, and then getting up usually when I

finish to go shadow a patient. I have been making phone calls to patients about flu shots and

physicals, uploaded patient documents to their files, organizing the huge stack of papers on top

of Ms. Edith’s desk, and then going in on and watching patients. This week Ms. Michelle

brought her son, ​Sharif. The poor boy had to spend most of his time under his mother’s desk at

her feet. Eventually we started playing together. I learned that sometimes kids do not listen and

have a mind of their own, but that is what happens with a three year old boy. It was fun, and I

think I entertained him. He really likes McDonalds, cars, helicopters, police, and criminals.
 One of the student nurse practitioners had a pain in the lower right side of her abdomen,

and the nurse practitioner sent her to urgent care to get a scan because a lot of vital organs are

located there, like the appendix, and she wanted to make sure that it was not serious.

This Friday was the home football game against Oakland Mills, we won 35-0. It was the

coldest game yet, at 50 degrees. I think for the last upcoming game, my uniform has to be a long

sleeve shirt, a sweater, a jacket, the band shirt, a pair of leggings, a pair of jeans, long socks,

sneakers, gloves, and headwrap. I might forgo a couple of those items, but I definitely need the

shirt, a sweater, a jacket, gloves, headwrap, jeans, and socks. I have been looking at flannel lined

jeans, maybe I should make an investment.
