research

For this research project coming up I have finally decided on two, very different topics that both interest me. The first is anesthesia and how it works and the second is event planning. Anesthesia is something that has always sparked my interest ever since I had surgery for the first time. I would like to know how it works as well as the process behind creating and administering it. I would also like to research each different level of anesthesia from numbing an area to complete sedation of the body.

My next area of interest is event planning and the steps on how to become a successful planner. This interest of mine came about during my senior year of high school when it was thrown upon me to plan prom. I had never planned anything before but I am very ocd, a perfectionist, and I had the connections to the suppliers we needed. What started as a headache turned into one of the most enjoyable things I did senior year. It was very rewarding in the end and I would love to know what it takes to be able to make event planning a career.

major purchase

The largest purchase that I have ever made was buying a horse during this past Christmas Break. Spending such a large amount of money forced me to quickly mature and take responsibility because this was my personal decision, not my parents. While deciding on a budget, I also had to decide what kind of horse I felt would be talented enough to advance me through the levels. I was offered a spot to join a group headed to Ireland to shop for horses as well so now I had to make the major decision whether to buy a horse from the states or from overseas. This decision was terrifying because it was a large deal of money and if I bought one from Ireland, there was no turning back. All my time and energy would be fully committed to a new horse. I researched bloodlines, training, event records, and breeds of horses from the U.S. compared to those in Ireland. I talked to highly respected trainers/competitors who had bought horses from Ireland and what their opinions were on the horses over there versus the horses here in the States. I finally made my decision to take this leap and hopped on a plane headed to Ireland at the beginning of December. After riding horses for three days, I made my final decision on a horse that I had fallen in love with and before I knew it I was headed home the new owner of an Irish Sport Horse. He arrived to my farm a couple days before Christmas after a long week of travel. It was a major purchase in my life but because of all of the information I had gathered, I know that I made the best choice and I do not regret one bit of it.

library

My favorite part of the library is the second floor. I live in the arbor view apartments with three other roommates and even though we all have our own rooms, it still is very hard to concentrate. The second floor is quiet enough for me to focus on my work as well as easy going enough for me to talk to those around me. My least favorite part about the library is the printing. I wish each floor had a printing section as well as the option of color printing. This would make things so much more convenient because if one of the printers is broken then there would be another option in the same building. Instead, now we have to go to the excel center. As far as being confused in the library, I still do not really know how to navigate around the library to find particular books.

A little about myself

My name is Jessica Brown and I am a freshman. I am not really sure what I want to do but I am interested in business management and marketing or maybe nursing.
I would like to learn more about how to find credible resources on the internet because this will help me out a great deal in my college career.
