This past week was complete and total insanity. Monday we had a midterm in a class that we have only had 2 lectures in! How the heck can u have a midterm over two lectures??? Oh well...
Wednesday we had our second Anatomy test and our first anatomy practical. I was so stressed after the test that I was making myself nauseous. Luckily I passed the test!! and I aced the practical, so I just have to study super hard for the next few tests in that class. Next week I've got a midterm practical in my basic PT skills class and the week after that I've got 2 more midterms, then I think it is over for a little while at least!!! Yay!!!
On another note, I signed up for the rock 'n' roll 1/2 marathon in Dallas in March!!!! Not sure why I thought that'd be fun to do again, but I know it will be and the training will be awesome! It'll keep me sane and in shape, that's the hope anyway.
So... this weekend, Casey came to visit. It was the most amazing weekend ever. A much needed relief from the midterm frenzy. Friday, we did a 4.5 mile run and then drove to Galveston to hang out for the evening. We ate at a restaurant on the water, delicious, and then walked around the Strand/Historic District of Galveston, killing time until the Ghost tour!! It was so cool to hear about all the history and reports of "strange activity" in the different builidngs in the Galveston area. Too bad we didn't get any cool pictures, the ghosts did not want to come out and play with us on Friday night I guess.
Saturday we watched the Horns win against OU!! We ventured to Chili's to take in the game on the big flat screens they have in the bar! So cool. Then we carved a pumpkin and made cookies, yum!!! The weather has been absolutely amazing this weekend, and i hope it continues! It is actually beginning to feel like Fall!!!
Well, I guess I've got to be productive now, and get ready for the weeks ahead!! Here goes! Have a great week all!!!

First Major Test
This week has been the longest week yet and it is only going to get worse. Looking through my schedule, which I should never look more than a week or two ahead, but..... I did, I have become more than overwhelmed recently.
Monday we had our first Anatomy test. I did not realize how stressed and uptight I was during my test until after I walked out and felt how tense my shoulders were! I passed, yay!!! Now if I can just keep this up in all my classes :( It has become apparent that it is more difficult to balance every class than I had originally thought. The first two weeks I was keeping up with my readings and reviewing each class' powerpoint before and after the lecture, and I still felt as though I had time to get everything done. Now.... I barely have time to breath let alone read and get ahead. Some days I feel like I'm just keeping my head above water. I'll be able to catch up soon, I hope. It seems like we were all so very focused on this anatomy test that we barely looked at any other class for the past week and a half.
Now the race begins!!! From here until the end of October I've got 1-4 midterms/practicals/quizzes, etc. per week, not to mention all the little group projects and presentations that are due. Yikes!
I am going to have to get myself on a better schedule and make time to get everything done. My goal is to get more working out time into my life, because I really think that will help with my stress level! If anyone in the Houston area wants to help me train, that would be amazing. I'd like to start training for a run again, we'll see.
So, after the hell that was our Gross Human Anatomy test on monday, we all went out, with our professors to Chuy's. It was great, we got done with lab early (not sure that anyone retained anything about the flexor muscles of the forearm that day). We made it to Chuy's in time for a much needed happy hour and some dinner, delicious!
It has felt like Friday every day this week, but that God that tomorrow really is Friday!
Tuesday my mom came in town and we went to this awesome Cuban food restaurant in the Bellaire area. The best part was I walked out of there with 2 meals for the week!! I picked up the "Best of Houston 2009" issue of the Houston Press magazine and I'm determined to try some of the restaurants and other exciting places in that magazine. Now I've got places to go in Houston!!!
I am so ready for it to be Friday! On top of everything else this week, I woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose :( I'm hoping it is just allergies that are coming in full force with this front the weather people keep saying is coming! Keep you fingers crossed for me. More exciting stuff soon!
