Half Way There!

Has it really been almost a whole month since I’ve posted?  Where has the time gone?

So where do I begin.. let’s start with school.  School is going SO GREAT!  I’ve had a ridiculous amount of tests lately including Immunology, Epidemiology, Bovine Theriogenology, Gross Anatomy, Integration, and Respiratory Physiology.  That included tests in all 4 of my core classes plus some.  The exciting part? I’ve gotten A’s on all of them :) …Now throw in a few lab quizzes (and a few A’s and B’s on those) and that’s really what’s been going on at school.  Who has time to learn when you’re studying all the time :)

This week in school I have my first Embryology test (it’s open book.. so shouldn’t too bad) and my Renal Physiology test.  A “wise” second year left us a note for the Renal Physiology test.. it told us to “Run like hell – get out while you can.”  Needless to say our brilliant teacher, doesn’t quite understand that we all might not be as brilliant as her.. so I get the feeling this test could kill my “winning” streak :/

What else is going on in my life outside of school? Not much considering school IS my life..

I dog sat for Cole and his family while they visited our new nephew Joel in Texas and I learned 3 things:

1. Life would be easier if I didn’t have tests every Friday and could pick up and go to Houston with the fam :(
2. I have no business getting a dog anytime soon – I think I need a backyard first.  Don’t they always say the best form of birth control is watching someone else's children?  I think that saying fits well with dogs too.. I had my dose of “puppy control” last week :)  -- Not that Gryff wasn’t a perfect dog all weekend :)
3. I have the two greatest nephews in the world :)

I also put in a little time helping out with a good friend’s campaign for Student Body President (he won!) AND got to celebrate Valentine’s Day this past weekend (finally) by spending the weekend being lazy, eating yummy food, watching movies, and I even got a new flannel shirt :)

That's it for now - hard to believe Spring Break is right around the corner and this semester is almost half way over.  It may even be flying by faster than last semester.. but that's a good thing - right?

Happy Monday and Happy Day Light Savings! (Sarcasm.. no one likes losing an hour of sleep, especially on a Monday.)
