During the Break
I’m a little over half way through my two-week break before the summer semester starts. I have enjoyed the time off so far, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the week as well. Last week, I visited the Kangaroo Conservation Center in Dawsonville, Georgia. The above video clip shows some of that place. It was really interesting and there are over 300 kangaroos on site, as well as other Australian wildlife.
When I start back to class next Monday, I’ll be taking Radiographic Imaging II (RAD-122), Radiographic Physics I (RAD-131) and my third round of clinicals (RAD-171). My clinical rotation will be in an out-patient imaging center and I’ll be in from 8-330 on Tuesday and Thursday, and from 8-12 on Fridays for the duration of the 10-week summer session. I have all of my books ready to go. I purchased “Digital Radiography and PACS by Christi Carter and Beth Veale” on Amazon.com and saved about $8 from the school bookstore price. I also purchased “Radiologic Science for Technologists by Stewart C. Bushong” used on Amazon.com and saved about $50 from the school bookstore price. I purchased the workbook that goes along with this book new from the school bookstore earlier this week. Fortunately, my total book cost for the summer semester was about $110 with the savings I got from Amazon and buying a used book. I’ll probably start reading in these books tonight or tomorrow to get a jump start on the semester. I don’t have a syllabus for either class yet, so it would be hit and miss as to where I should start. Maybe I should just enjoy the break :)
Here’s another video clip from the trip to Georgia… This is the Fountain of Rings at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park…
