Home for the holidays

I have been home in Seattle for the last two weeks. Christmas was great, I was able to see everyone in the family and spend time with everyone. I do miss the big family atmosphere that I get when I am home for the holidays.
My first semester did not end as well as I would have liked but I ended with a 2.4 GPA. I will do better next semester because I have fewer classes and more OT oriented which I will like. I am going back to Tulsa for the new year and to make sure everything is in line for school. I need to get some things in order before returning to school.
I hope everyone had a great holiday and got everything they wanted, I know I did.

Another long week

I added a random picture from Halloween of Howard and I because I like it.

So glad this school week is over tomorrow. Monday I had two 1 page papers due, Wednesday Anatomy exam, and tomorrow anatomy lab final! I did not do well on the anatomy exam but I know the lab final will keep my grade up and I will pretty much be guaranteed a C which is passing. I can still get above a 2.5 GPA if I get a B in my other classes. I know I can do this because my confidence has not been hit to hard. I did the calculations and I can get an 11/100 on my anatomy final and still get a C. Figuring this out helps me not stress as much. This allows me to focus on my other finals to guarantee my B's. I will let you guys know as my tests come what I get, be praying!

On a different note Lindsey and I went Christmas shopping yesterday and got some good stuff. Not entirely done with my shopping but only have a few more people to get present for. Lets see what else can I update you on.... Abbie is going to the vet for her annual checkup on Sat. I know exciting right ;) Howard is coming this weekend and he is going to help with the huge toys for tots our church does every year! There are 3500 kids signed up, I think. He is actually doing the Spanish speaking toys for tots on Saturday which, I think is really cool. I want to help but I have two finals on Monday and need all the extra study time. I know the life isn't to exciting but I actually enjoy typing and keeping people updated even if it is not exciting. Next week should be more exciting because I will be heading to Seattle on Wednesday and I will be finished with my first semester of OT school !!!!!!!! Man will that feel good. Love you all tons and will talk soon.

Has been a busy week

This week has gone by fast but was very busy. I had a test on Tuesday which, I got an 85!! It was an anatomy test over all 50 muscles of the upper extremity. I studied a lot for it over the thanksgiving break so I think I deserved the grade I got. I always hope for more but I am happy. I also finished and turned in a 5 page paper on Friday and I just finished a couple of 1 page papers due on Monday. I also have another anatomy exam on Wednesday. Then the week after I have 4 finals in three days!!! AHHH! I just have to take it one test/day at a time. I know I will be just fine and I will be going on to the next semester hopefully with a 2.5 or above GPA. We have to keep a 2.5 average to stay in the program. I am not worried because next semester I will have a couple of 'easier' classes so I can hopefully get some A's to boost my GPA up so I don't have to worry. I am just studying this weekend for the up coming exams but just wanted to say a little hello. Life isn't to exciting right now but it is busy.

Ugh...

Today is my long day in class 8-4 straight with an hour break for lunch, not fun! But today we had a couple of happy points. The first was our anatomy lecture was cancelled, yeah and so we moved up my concepts class and got out at 3pm. Then she told us we weren't going to have class in the morning, which we usually do! That means I get to study and feel more confident going into to my anatomy upper extremity muscle test at 12:30pm. So at least Monday was a little brighter. I am just taking a little study break right now. I am feeling pretty good about my muscle just a couple of origins (where the muscles start, if you didn't already know) are messing me up but I will get them before the test. Then tomorrow night I am writing my five page paper and not stopping until I have it done ;) Anyway thought I would give you an oh so exciting update on my boring school life. Not much to it but there is a countdown for my departure for Seattle: 16 days!
