School

Yeah, I know it's been a while-- I've been very neglectful *shame shame shame*

But I have reason! I have finished my first quarter of school! This last week was full of finals and hands-on and written tests and clinical shifts and all sorts of good crazy things! But I have officially finished my first of three quarters AND I passed every single one of my classes first quarter with A's! I am so happy and so excited!

There are three quarters total in the basic massage program and then an additional one in the master program. The second quarter ends right before Christmas Break (December 17th I think) and then I graduate in March.

The first two months completely flew by! I guess what with school most days and work on the days that I don't have school every week is just a blur with few defining points.

I am still trying to make an effort for a social life though! The last couple of Fridays have been movie nights (where I got introduced into the FABULOUS world of Mystery Science Theater 3000) which have been full of laughter and good memories (thanks Jossi!!) and this upcoming Friday I'm going to WSU's homecoming dance with a good friend from work.

Haha, I keep telling myself not to stay up late on Friday nights because I have to get up insanely early for clinicals on Saturday morning, and yet I keep staying up late. I think part of me is craving that social life that I once had and is a little desperate to get part of it back. But I'm young right? They tell me that if I'm going to do this to myself I might as well do it now- in the prime of life! :P

And Dad got in tonight! There was a drop in SLC so he was allowed to go home and sleep on a real bed for the night- needless to say he was very excited. It's been so much fun to see him and tease him in person rather than over text. I've missed him so much!

But yeah, this is life in a nutshell! Crazy, hectic, and very fast paced! But- never a dull moment!

I find your excuses...acceptable. Ha ha just kidding - like you really need me to tell you it's okay not to blog. Sheesh that would be SO presumptuous! (That and I'm doing horribly on my blog as well as commenting so I can't say anything.) Congrats on your grades - that is awesome! I'm glad you made it through the first semester (way to be 1/3 to a 1/4 done!) That is very exciting. And hooray for being able to see Dad too. Hope you had a good visit.

Okay I think that I've finally caught up on all the posts I so horribly neglected to comment on...there were a few so go look and see! (Yeah it's almost like Christmas... ;) )
p.s. doing a bunch of comments has led to some interesting word verifications...this one 'dismard' it's better than dismal...it just seems to REALLY convey how bad a situation could be. ;)

Whoa! have I missed something? I didn't realize you were going to Massage therapy school. or do I have it right yet? I thought you were at Weber. Please verify so I get it right. Congrats! on the grades.

Bonnie, it is so fun to hear you talk about how school is going and how busy your life is...it's like *sniff* my little baby...all grown up! *sniff*
Glad you are still keeping things fun though!! Keep up the good work!

I now feel adequately horrible about my poor commenting habits. When you manage to comment on SuZan's blog before me I begin to feel rather badly about taking so long...but it's okay because I've turned a new leaf and am now committed to commenting much more quickly. (Way to motivate me to be better!)
Stings is an awesome word verification...I haven't had an actual word since that one time. (And I can't even remember the word!)
