First post!

The readings I was assigned ("How I Learned to Program Computers" and "How I Learned to Live Google Free") could be used as models for my essay by a kind of "How to" format and being written in the first person. I think my paper is going to be written about how I became a CNA and the steps to changing an adult diaper (which I know EVERYONE is dying to know how to do). It took a little bit to learn and become comfortable with but its useful in my workplace and will probably come in handy when I have a screaming infant with poop up her back. If you can change a 400 plus lb woman who is screaming obscenities at you and swinging her fists, I think you can change a baby.

The timeline will probably follow finding out about the free CNA classes that Washington state so lovingly provides (they reimburse the facilities offering it, or if you take it at OC, they reimburse you when you work at your first job after working a set amount of time), then my experience with clinicals, and finally training and working on graveyard shift on a locked dementia unit. Between 10 pm and 6 am, not too much fun stuff happens, besides changing people, doing vitals, making people hot chocolate and trying to make sure no one falls or hurts each other. Changing people could probably be executed humorously and slightly more informatively than teaching how to convince a paranoid schizophrenic to stay out of other peoples rooms.

Im not convinced this is the best intro for a new blog, but this is a class assignment. Maybe ill write one for my next assignment, which is "Whatever I want".
