brain fried.

you know its almost finals week when you have three tests in one day. ya it was outrageous. thankfully though i have a really scatter-brained mircobiology teacher who came to class and forgot that he was giving us a test! so i ended up going and studying for the ever so hard pathophysiology. finally when that craziness was over i studied for my nutrition test, which was alright seeing as i only studied for it two hours before the test. now that those two tests are done i can focus on micro and all of my sweet finals next week:)

ps. sad news, just finished watching the last and final episode of ugly betty. i want to cry. my most favorite show ever has finished.

family feud.

{04.12.10}
for family home evening tonight, we played a game that was suggested by my mother...family feud. it was a great success. everyone had a great time, at least i think they did. you never know with college kids. the questions were a little out dated, but they still worked. the girls team ended up winning the entire thing. they had 32 points and the boys had 27 points. i ended up just doing one point for getting it right cause i can't add numbers in my head very well...which would have taken up most of the time we had to play. so i made it simple for me.

saturday relaxation.

{04.10.10}

this was the first saturday in a really long time in which i did not have work...and guess what i ended up doing? going to work. ya, i'm a little weird. but this time i brought susie and we went to just visit my residents. it was so much fun and we ended up spending about two hours there just catching up with and introducing sue to them. well i hate to be biased but i visited some of my favorites:)

after spending time at emerald pointe, sue and i spent the rest of the day just hanging out. we went on a drive later in the afternoon. we drove up the mountain and then stopped to take some pictures. it was freezing! i am amazed at how the temperature can change in just a few miles. overall this day was great and i enjoyed all my free time. i will say however that i did feel very anxious when we weren't doing anything.

ice skating.

{February 2010}
clear back in the month of {02} i went down to stg and a bunch of us went ice skating at the new dixie igloo. little did we know, it was "stick and puck" which means we had to carry around hockey sticks and shoot pucks into the goals. this little "inconvenience" actually turned into a pretty good thing because we were practically the only ones there. so we had the whole rink to our pleasure. we skated and hockied around for an hour until we put down our sticks and had our own winter 2010 olympics. there were a few events
1 lap dash {around the rink} -- gold medal -- dan
longest length on one leg -- gold medal -- dan
longest length crouching down -- gold medal -- dan
couples figure skating -- gold medal -- colby spragg + ME!
lets just say it was my the proudest moment of my life, to receive that gold from my fellow peers. i felt like i was on top of the world!

Happy Birthday Sue!

for susie's birthday we had a little get together about two days before her actual birthday because of the easter weekend thing, and the fact that everyone was going out of town...seeing as we didn't have school on friday. we had cake, pie, and ice cream. it was blast. of course, we took tons of pictures because that is what we do at these kind of shin-digs:)
