Virtual Baby

So remember when you took a home-ec class in high school and you had to cart around a flour sack baby? Well since then I guess flour sack babys have evolved into virtual babys. Hence, for my parenting class, I have given birth to:

He's pretty cute. And awesome because I never have to change his diaper. He just sits there and looks cute while I make decisions about his life for him. It's pretty fantastic.

Mondays

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Mondays. On one hand, the weekend is over, and I have to get back to school and life, which can be pretty sad. And usually I am exhausted on Mondays, especially this Monday because my dog seemed to think it was entertaining to howl at sirens at odd hours of the very early morning. But on the other hand, it's the start of a new week, which is always a good thing I suppose. Also, it rained today, which contributed to the overall goodness of this particular Monday. And this semester, I only have institute classes on Monday, which is always a good thing. But still, I think I still prefer Fridays :)

In other news, I just started my fourth semester, and I am currently finding it difficult to survive Pathophysiology, but I'll make it :) It's very interesting, there's just a lot to cover in a relatively short period of time. Speaking of which, I should get off the computer and study, or at least get some rest. :)

Books!

I just bought Villette, Moby Dick, The Souls of Black Folk, The Pilgrim's Progress, Little Women, and Hard Times. And I am going to read them, probably in that order. :)

Also, I got new strings for my viola for Christmas, and they make all the difference :)

I sang in the rain today...

It was fantastic :)

(The rain, not so much the quality of the singing ;)

New Year

It's almost 2011! I'm pretty excited for the end of this year. It's been long and stressful and while I'm grateful for everything I've learned and people I've met, I'm not sorry to see it go. I've signed up for some classes that will actually be fun, and I'm working on being more organized and efficient. A lot of my classes are online too, so no more 12 hour school days! Woo hoo! My goals this semester are to keep up with all of my assignments, make time for fun stuff, read scriptures more, watch TV less, run 4 miles without stopping, be happy, get into the nursing program, and survive Pathophysiology. :) I'm also going to get to work on my bucket list, which should hopefully be pretty interesting. Updates to follow. Anywho, Merry Christmas and Happy New Years. :)

December

Well it's December. I have one more week of school and then it's Christmas break!! Woohoo!! So that's about it.... :)
