I can't believe it's already halfway through the quarter. I honestly didn't think it would go by this fast. It's been a little difficult to adjust to LLU standards, but I think I'm coming along OK. This week was not too shabby. My patient this week was just so awesome! I really wish I didn't have to have a different patient every week. My first care plan was due this week. It wasn't so bad, but the Plan of Care part was a bitch!

The fires around the Inland Empire have caused our air to be dry and smoky. On Tuesday, we were coming out from clinicals and ash was falling from the sky. It kind of looked like a scene from "Silent Hill," except the ashes weren't so big. The air is just so dry! I've been drinking bottles and bottles of water each day because I feel so thirsty all the time. Ontario is the worst! Their sky is completely brown. Last Sunday I was driving back to Loma Linda and was passing through Ontario. Out of nowhere it became extremely windy, 40 mph. I could feel the car shifting towards the right. And all these pieces of rocks were flying at my window from the wind. After I passed Ontario, it died down. That was not very fun. Luckily the air quality in LA is a little better, but you can see the smoke starting to cover the city.
They evacuated the Wild Animal Park this past weekend, and they put them in a mall. How weird is that! They have evacuated so many people this past week. One of my classmates was almost evacuated from her home so she had to rush out of class one day. That's scary.
