Finishing School, Yard Work, and Getting Back Into Running

Image
By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
I'm hoping to get back into the weekly recaps now that I have finished the academic portion of my schooling. Yes, that's right! I've finished the academic portion of my studies and now it's just time for my clinical studies! Last week I finished my last exam and this past week I've been updating my resume, making cover letters, getting paperwork together, and going into the veterinary hospitals and clinics in my area.

So I figured what great way to celebrate this achievement by sitting down with a cup of coffee and writing a little blog post.

Let's take this post back to last Monday, the 14th of August.




Monday was a pretty great day considering it is when I took my final exam! I got a 96%. Even though I got one question wrong and could prove that I answered correctly with my textbook I'm still pretty happy with my grade. I also uploaded a new vlog on my youtube channel of my previous week while eating breakfast outside with the kitties. After having breakfast and studying I went to my my midwife appointment for my Paragard check up. We went over a few concerns I had about my last menstrual cycle and she gave me some different options to try. I'll be going over that in another post. After my appointment I took my final Exam, and as you know I got a 96%! 


You know it's summer when your fur-babies are shedding this much.



Tuesday I started to get back into running again! I even filmed a bit of my route and the foods I ate. I will be starting a running series on my youtube channel soon. After running I spent some time doing yard work. There's so much to do. I'm still not done yet and I feel like I've been working on it forever.

This was only part of the weeds I pulled up. Monsoon season is making our yard a jungle lol.


Later on I spent some time with the kitties while cleaning.

The rest of the week I spent running, cleaning, taking care of the kitties, and relaxing after a year of studying. Jake got me a new game, Witcher 3, and I became addicted. 


The past weekend we had beautiful weather and a nice breeze came in. We were actually able to turn off the A/C and open all the windows. I know my utility bill will thank me. :)

A beautiful sunset.




Sunday was a nice relaxing day. Jake and I ordered food, played some games, and the fur-babies had some fun too.

My First Day at GNC

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!

So Many Changes

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
During my last post I was still doing my externship at a veterinary clinic near me. Since then, I have been hired as a veterinary technician! I have been loving this job. It's been stressful but has been so rewarding.  My goals lately have been some smaller ones such as getting better at blood draws (I have hit 100% of my veins in the last 3 weeks!), triple checking invoices, and getting all my charts completed by the end of the day. When I feel that I have improved enough I will start training in surgery. That's my goal anyway. Then, once I start training in surgery and become a surgery tech I can start working towards my goal of becoming a critical care technician.  I have progressed in my career but I have also progressed in my personal life as well.  I have finally hit my goal weight since getting off my birth control and getting the Paragard. Now my next goal is to build more muscle, gain endurance, and become more flexible again. I have also started can...

Mexican Cruise Day 1: Los Angeles, California

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
We left home Friday evening with plenty of time to spare to get there early Saturday morning, find parking, get checked in, etc. Before we left town we stopped at one of my favorite restaurants and got supper. After hitting the road we went through Tucson and Phoenix with no issues.  After a rest stop in Phoenix with bathroom breaks and stocking up on food and water we were set to drive across the desert with no stops for at least a few hours. About one hour into the desert (1am) we got a flat tire! A nail was left on the side of the road and punctured our tire. Thankfully my Dad was with us. Jake and my Dad managed to get the doughnut on the car. We tried calling AAA but there was an accident and the person coming to help us got flagged down by the police to help out.  After getting the spare on we tried finding a tire shop that was open 24 hours. There wasn't one within 100 miles! We drove to the closest one and then they had to help someone else out so n...
