Oh the funny things that happen in my life! Hello my digital friends.
Run for your life!!! It's finals week!!! If I were to be abducted by aliens right now, I don't think I'd mind. HAHAHAHA! Yeah... I have a massive headache right now but I can't sleep. So I'll blog. Hey, I think it's a step up from facebooking. I facebook enough of my life away anyways haha ;) It's been an entertaining week though, so I've got plenty to talk about. I also have some serious things that I will be posting this week as well.
It is officially finals week. The most hectic and craziest week of my life, which comes twice a year (until I start summer semesters, then it'll come thrice!) I only have to take my Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology finals. As well as write a paper. It's the only paper I've had to do this semester! Yay! My anatomy lab final I took on Friday... Please pray that I did well on it! Other than that, I'm just getting ready to go home come Thursday morning when my last test is over! I can hardly keep myself from packing. Though, I really love living in my apartment and being on my own, something is just pulling me back towards Alpine... Probably Danni :) I miss my little doggie so much. I woke up crying twice the past week because I've had dreams that she died. I could hardly stand it. She has brought more joy into my life than I can express. I'm just so glad to have her, I can't imagine not having her anymore... 3 more days!
I've been going over my fall schedule already. I'm working on generals and such, and boosting my GPA and I realized today as I walked from the Science Lab building to the Student Services building and then back to the Science Lab building, that I may have my Associates degree before I get my RN! Generals are much easier to knock off while your waiting for a spot in the nursing program. I doubt I'll get in my first application (next spring, I can't believe I missed the deadline this spring!) So the spring after that is the plan. Which means I'll have 2 semesters left to get my RN starting Fall 2012. They apparently take applications yearly instead of semesterly. It would've been nice to know that before hand... In the meantime I pray that my finals go well enough that I won't have to retake Anatomy or Physiology. Though if I do have to retake one, I really really hope it's not gonna be Physiology. UGH!!! Keep your fingers crossed folks! Keep a wary eye on April 2011, I may just get a degree!!! Albeit, a degree of generals without my RN...
OH!!! MY GOODNESS!!!! My choir put our spring show on, Saturday the 17th. I cannot tell you how amazing it was!!! I spent Friday night from 6:30 to 11:15 in our dress rehearsal. Ugh. That's the one bummer about shows, night-before dress rehearsals are painful. However, I did survive and Saturday morning, I got up, got ready, left my house at 5 to 1:00 and off we went. We had the pre-show devotionals (I love the institute for that), then went on-stage at 2:30 and did a killer matinée! Afterwards, we all headed down to the institute where we got free lunch! Subway! Yum!!! Then we got to chill there from 4-6, when we went back to the nice big auditorium here on campus and started the evening pre-show devotional. The evenings performance was indescribable. The spirit that was felt there was so strong. My numbers were first and last, so between them we gathered in the holding room around the piano and sang hymns and the EFY medley. What is a better way to spend that time? My family (well, mom, dad, and Rachel) were in attendance which made it that much better. After the show was over, we walked out discussing it and a lady walking in front of us turned around, and with tears in her eyes said, "Thank you. I got the announcement in Relief Society to come to this, so I did, and I am so glad. Thank you so much for performing." I was touched! Everything that my choir teachers had said to me about the reason for our performance came out in those few words from a kind stranger. Not to mention, college performances are just another step up from anything I did in High School. Amazing!!! :D
Sunday was a wonderful day, the weather was warm, church was good, and I had an unexpected suprise! My home teacher called me to see if he could make dinner for me (he's trying to clear out his pantry before moving home). So he came over and made some killer spaghetti. He served his mission in Italy, so it was pretty legit. We didn't have onions or meat so we shredded a carrot into the sauce and used tuna fish! Crazy, right? Well an Elder on his mission couldn't eat hamburger meat, so they used tuna once. It was amazingly good! Then he invited me on a hike for Monday morning. I said sure! Then he decided we should do a sunrise hike. Yikes!!! I don't do mornings! However, I already agreed to go, so I said okay, and at 6:20 am he sent me a text saying "look out your window" and there he was, ready to pick me up and go! We hiked up waterfall canyon to the waterfall itself! It was so big due to the snow melting! Totally worth the sunrise hike. We got to watch it rise over the valley on our way down. It was beautiful!!! Talk about a home teacher going above and beyond in his calling :)
On a more serious note... I ask those of you who may read this (I know, there's not many of you) to pray for my dear sister-in-law this week. She's going into heart surgery next Monday. They will be taking out the heart, putting her on a heart and lung machine, so they can work on the back of it. She's had this surgery once before, and it was a long recovery... This one may be longer. The operation holds a lot of risks... She may need a heart transplant, the heart may not restart and she may be hooked up to a machine for as long as a few months, or there's a possibility of death. I myself am confident that things will work out just fine. She has a wonderful husband (my brother) who is a worthy priesthood holder and will give her a blessing, and she has the prayers of all her family and friends. I know I'm moving home on Thursday, but I'll be back up in Ogden Saturday for Matt's track meet (yay!) and to move the heavy duty furniture out, then on Sunday I'll go live in Plain City to take care of the cutest girls in the whole wide world, my nieces, while their mom is in recovery. I should be in Alpine again by Wednesday.
It's gonna be a crazy summer, I can feel it. My boy is moving out of state early may, my best friend up here at Weber (Rachel, you remember her, right? Love the girl!) is moving to Iraq for a year with her family, (Her dad supplies water to the troops over there, so that's where business is, and that's where family follows), and my best friend in Alpine doesn't get home till June. Aw shucks.
Well, I guess that's all for now. I'm sorry this was a freakishly long post! I feel so long-winded... Not good. :S Anywho... Pray for me for finals week!!! I'll let you know when I kick butt in that wrestling match ;) hahahaha!
Peace be with you.
