Hot Air

It is HOT in Texas! Good thing I work inside.
Yesterday I got to earn extra credit for my class by helping the Lions Club at the Hot Air Balloon Show. I took money for parking. There were surprisingly a TON of people there! It was advertised as being a free event-- but nothing is ever free (parking, food, helicopter rides). The sad thing was the hot air balloons couldn't even take off. It was barely too windy. They were supposed to be doing a balloon glow to music. I am sure it was neat, but there was no way after 4 1/2 hours of standing that I was going to hang out-- and who would want to get stuck in all of that traffic!!!

Work and school are going okay. I need more time to study. This week my teacher could tell I was quite stressed out and asked when it was all going to calm down... sigh--never?! So I am trying to study more so I can do better. Guess when you show up to class wearing a Sylvan shirt the teacher expects you to be at the top of the class and not in the middle! I will keep trying.

Keep Swimming

I took my lab test on Thursday. I do indeed have to have EVERYTHING memorized. So crazy! The more you try something the easier it gets right? The next unit is bones. Over 200 bones I will be tested on. I think I can.. .I think I can... I think I can.

I finished Rereading the 6th and 7th Harry Potter books. I am ready for the 6th movie to come out. I just love Harry Potter world. I think I might go reread the last few chapters once more-- I just don't like the story being over! I want more!!!

Work has been a little crazy. I think it might slow down after this week.

Whew!

Took my first Anatomy and Physiology test-- with the curve I got an 82. I am still deciding how I feel about that. I think I am okay with it. I would like a better score next time. This time I did have 5 chapters that were included. The good thing is that being in class really helps (shocker, I know)--so I will continue going to class and reading the chapters!! At least I know a little of what to expect.
Thursday I have a lab test. Without a word bank I have to identify 31 types of tissue and label parts of the body. Memorizing.. so not my favorite.
Other news-- work is really picking up which is good. Need those kids to make money!
Got the full refund back on my Kenny Chesney tickets! Woo-hoo!! that paid for my summer class!
