NATIONALS!
So between June 21 - June 26 I was in Nashville Tennesse for the 2005 National Health Occupations Students of America (HOZA) competition.
Pretty much the only source of food, water, shelter, and entertainment came from our hotel, Gaylord Grand Ole Opry
The choices for food were ice cream/gelato, chick fil-a express, pizza hut express, some burger place, jack danials resturant, and one or two other hotel restaurants.
Natahsa, Reese, and Felix eating Chick Fil-A
Felix, and Reese were my roomates from Jasper. Natasha's also from Jasper. They all came as courtesy core, now what are the duties of courtesy core you ask, basically.... doing nothing at all! lol
While most of the schools only stayed in the hotel, plano schools took excursions. I had the advantage of getting a mix of Plano Senior High, Plano East, and Jasper schedules.
My Jasper compadre's and I went to the Nashville Zoo! Below are a sucession of images (taken of my favorite animals seen at the zoo), leading to a picture of our group.
Left to Right: Natasha, Felix, Chathan, Reese, Zehra, and um... Jacklyn?
Now on the other hand Plano Senior High didn't actually leave the hotel but after much heated debate we decided to go to the Jack Danials resturant (21 and up only..?? lol)

I also attended some of the syposiums offered by HOSA. Below is a picture of the "Learning Anatomy With Clay" symposium. We learned all the major bones, muscle types, and systems in the body.
Here Natasha, Reese, and Felix (and I) were building their very own hearts!
