I Am Learning

Here is what I expect to learn this week/Here are all the changes that are happening this week:

1) The Boyds are moving to Illinois. Kind of ironic that Tuesday is my 1-year anniversary of living with them and they are packing up the house Wednesday. Going with them this weekend. Looking forward to that. Not looking forward to coming back to Omaha without them that Monday.

2) Moving in with my bestest friend ever. Moving my stuff Wednesday-ish. It will be glorious living with her, even for that short time.

3) I am in my final couple weeks of classes. 3 weeks left, to be exact. I really want to finish strong. So expect the blogging to be less frequent (I know, I know...it's not really frequent as it is). But I'll do more later. Promise.

4) I am going to learn to pack in less than 48 hours. Haven't done a darn thing. Haha...but not really funny.

Yeah...so I have mixed emotions about the next month or so. I am sad about some of the changes. I am happy about some of them. I am stressed about all of them. I don't do change well. But I will learn.

It will be okay.

Girls' Weekend

FRIDAY!!!! (deep sigh of relief)

This weekend I am meeting all of my sisters in Sioux Falls for a girls' weekend. Shopping, eating, hot tubbing...I'm totally excited! It will be a good time.

I may or may not have bombed my Chemistry test yesterday. But it's my own fault for not studying as I should have. I did study, just not as I should have. =) But I'm not too worried about it. One bad grade. Not the end of the world. Right?

Anywho...I have got some stuff to do before I go, so I'll be back on the blog after the weekend! Have a good one!!

Crohn's Disease

I do not believe in the death penalty. I believe that we should inject all convicted creepos with Crohn's disease. It would be way more punishment. Way worse.

That is all.

Don't Judge Me

I went to the Harry Potter premiere at midnight with a friend from work.

We both worked early this morning at the coffee shop.

I have plans for the rest of the day.

I will hit a wall at some point...and when I do, it will not be good.

Stay tuned for more details.

PS--Harry Potter: read the books, skip the movies. Seriously.

Completely Random

This post is going to be completely random. Follow along closely. You will be quizzed.

1) Joe--I don't often get mentioned in people's facebook statuses either...we're even. Isn't it funny how that just makes you feel special?

2) I am almost finished reading the Chronicles of Narnia. Like...seriously close. Dangerously close, you could say. All seven books. That's a big deal. That's what I do when I should be studying. I'm a dork. I read to procrastinate. Oh brother.

3) I'm going to Sioux Falls this weekend for a sister's weekend. Pretty excited. And it has nothing to do with the fact that we're going to see Harry Potter. Nope. Nothing at all. I am not excited for that. Not even a little teeny tiny smidgen. Spellcheck didn't give me a red underline on that word...I'm surprised. Smidgen. Smidgen.

4) I have another Chemistry test Thursday. I don't even know what I got on the last one yet! Sheesh. No time to breathe.

5) 5 weeks left of classes. Then a couple months of a break while I get settled in my new place of residence (Illinois) and then starting up again in January. That's the plan anyway.

6) This post is dedicated to Jenny Zetterman. Mostly just because she wondered out loud what it would take for her to get mentioned by name and so I said I would. :) But also...you know how some people you know are just easy to talk to? Even though you might not know them very well? Or maybe you are that person. (I'm definitely not. I'm awkward. It's okay...I know this about myself and accept it for what it is.) Anyway...I think that Jenny is one of the easiest people I know to talk to. We've never had any real in depth conversations or anything, but I think it's cool. AND she comments on my posts. More than most of you can say. (I have a counter on this thing...I know who you are...)

7) I take naps. On a regular basis. Not even joking. Pretty much every day. Might be why I don't always sleep well at night, but I don't even care. I like me my naptime. Step off.

8) Apparently I am feeling a little defensive today.

9) How would you feel if you found out your doctor got a B in chemistry? Seriously. I'm not saying I have a B, I'm just wondering.

10) I haven't started packing yet. I'm moving out the end of this month. (And in with my BFF Jennica.) (We're stoked.) Most of my crap is going with the Boyds, minus all my essential needs to survive which I will take with me later when I leave in September. (middle-late)

11) I am going to 2 country music concerts next month. I don't even really like country music. Go figure.

12) I had to really stretch for #10 and #11. I wanted at least ten items. And then I decided it would be so cliche to have exactly ten so I went for eleven. And now as it turns out, I have twelve.

Peace out homies.

Hi Hi Sorry Sorry

So as it turns out, being even a pre pre-med student = SUPER BUSY.

I've been working about 35 hours a week at the coffee shop, plus my 16 hours of school a week, not to mention all of the studying/trying to study and trying to maintain a semblance of a social life. Insane.

I went to a picnic yesterday for the Boyds. They're moving, so a bunch of their friends got together. It was a really good time. I am usually a very introverted person, but I actually talked with a bunch of the people there without my palms getting too sweaty and feeling like I was going to hyperventilate. And it was actually some of them who inspired me to get my butt back on this blog and post more.

I feel like I am in the midst of making so many life decisions right now. A little overwhelmed by it all. Do I want to be a doctor, or a physicians assistant, or something else? Where do I want to go to school? How much school do I think I can take? Timeframe---do I wait until I have more loans paid off, or will that wait make it too late? (That rhymed.) If I commit to this doctor thing fully, that's giving up the next 8 years of my life. That's a lot of work. That's not a lot of "fun". I am going to have to change a lot of things in my mostly pretty chill lifestyle.

It's a big decision. And it makes my stomach hurt to think about.

And now there is potentially a boy involved...maybe? Haven't decided on that one either.

So if you are running out of things to pray about...how about my stress level, future decisions, and clarity of what it is that I'm supposed to be doing. =)

This post is dedicated to Joe Mathis, who I had a really great conversation with last night. Joe and Angie, I really appreciate you guys a lot, even though we don't talk a whole lot, and love how encouraging you are without even really trying. Thank you =) My next post will be dedicated to Jenny Zetterman. Stay tuned.

In an unrelated note...I think I have carpal tunnel in my wrist from pulling shots at the coffee shop. Seriously.
