As my siblings in the northern hemisphere are each concluding their academic year I’m still plugging away down under. This trimester system means I only get about a six week summer from late November to January. It’s exhausting and demoralizing. I can’t wait to be done!
I received the results from my blood tests a few weeks ago. They tested for immunity to a few diseases to see if we need vaccines or boosters. According to the results I’ve got antibodies to: Varicella zoster (chicken pox), Rubella (Low levels), Hepatitis B (Yay!), and measles. Strangely, I’ve got no antibodies against mumps. Hep B is a 3 course vaccination so I’m glad that I won’t be needing that one. Based on these results they gave me a Boostrix shot covering diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) and also an MMR vaccination covering measles, mumps, and rubella. The shots weren’t bad at all but the boostrix one was intramuscular so that arm is feeling weak and tender at the moment.
I haven’t been posting because seriously nothing is going on. Life is dull at the moment because Danielle and I are both so busy with school. However, yesterday we took a break and had a coffee at DOME.

Good job, bro.
Oddly, it looks as if your blog now gets spam?!?
I've got not a ton happening here as well...weather is nice, so I'm off to play catch with some classmates.
Wince.
My blog gets spam too. It's sad.
I am glad you are fully immunized. Phylis Diller would approve.
Good blog entry . . . ouch!
Last night was awesome, mainly because neither of us stayed up until 1AM studying. What a nice change!
Who would have thought we'd both be getting vaccines this week? Craziness. I would rather have all of your vaccines just so I knew I was fully protected.
But in the end it remains the same: needles suck!
I love those fishies!!!
I also enjoy the fish.
