My first test

On Tuesday it is the first of Introduction in Echocardiography on acronyms.
The test was supposed to start at 10 am.
Am used to paper written and this time it is on computer based test. The introduction is done by the Echo instructor Irwin Dawn.
My machine seems to do not displaying the test page, I try and try but it failed. My collegue who is beside me KIM is trying to help me but it is not working.
I am obligated to change the computer and this time it is fine.
I start the exam and finish it at the expected time.

My first week ends!

Week end 1:
The first week end on Saturday LEIF and SHALOY went to church and me I stayed at home reading some books of echocardiography. At around 1:30 pm they came back.
Around 2 pm their daughter Tekoa (Tikky) visitedhome from school. I met her for the first time she is a kind and lovely person, she was very friendly to me. Then we had other visitors coming with Tikky's roomate including her roommate's brother.
Late in the night around 8 pm we watched a movie after then I went to bed.
On Sunday Leif and I had some work to at home together.

The second week end started as the last one, but in the afternoon we went out.
We visited the Tikky's University (The Southern Adventist University), after then we visited the site where the Tournado passed last year I sow how bad it was, with field devastated and houses were demolished some of them have been totally destroyed.
We went a head to the Heroe's ground.
The most exciting area was the ROCK CITY and LOOKOUT CITY, where I found the history of the 18861-1865 amercan civil war, but especiallly on the incline and Lockout City Battle.
After passing allaround we went for a supper in an Italian restaurant where we had pizzas.
