One more thing

Nate asked for up-dates on my adventures. I haven't really had many adventures lately as my life consists solely of going to school and studying but a couple weekends ago I did run away to a friend's house in Paradise. It was lovely but the highlight was playing sardines in the house. This house was: a) large b) has lots of nooks and crannies and c) extremely dark - like can't see your hand in front of your face - dark. So my friend and I were first to hide and while trying to figure out where we were going she fell down and I tripped over her, also falling to the ground. Mind you we were laughing hysterically, blind and not being very secretive as to our location. We finally decided to hide in the cupboard under the stairs. It took a while to be found, which was good - once found the light was turned on and I realized what a tiny, totally enclosed space I was in and started feeling, you could say, a bit nervous. We had to wait a while for everyone to find us so I practiced my breathing. I'm a good breather. The whole weekend was delightful and I thoroughly enjoyed getting out and playing with my friends. Of course it wouldn't be a Julie adventure without getting lost - we took a small detour on the way there - and a few minor mishaps - when I woke up on Sunday my foot was swollen and beginning to bruise from tripping over my friend. These things make my life entertaining and really, my toes aren't broken. I promise.

Long Time...again

I'm a horrible blogger. And I really shouldn't be blogging right now as time is running out. Two weeks ago I realized I was not prepared for my up-coming exam and have been studying like mad. So last week I took my o. chem test - no results yet and this week I have my anatomy lecture and lab exams AND my first patho test. I am scared senseless. I have been, seriously, studying and/or in class approx. 8-10 hours everyday - except this Sunday - for several weeks now and I still feel like I have no clue. Not really "no clue" just no clue on the new stuff. And to make matters worse I'm so burned out and bored of studying I can hardly concentrate. I've got to figure out how to be more effective with my studying so this doesn't happen again. Or maybe I should just never take classes like this all at the same time again. On the flip side - all the stress is helping with my weight loss and the lack of social life is a great benefit to my bank account. Ahh, aren't I lucky.

In completely random other news: my sister-in-law Ash is having a baby girl! So fabulous!!!! So Kelli will have a girl in December followed by another girl in March! Boys: 7 Girls: 7 for the very first time! And James is now saying "dynamite" like the kid on The Jeffersons and "incredible". It's absolutely hysterical. He's whole -2 year old- body gets so excited and his voice gets so high and squeaky with excitement it seems he might explode. Especially since we keep making him say it over and over. I'm not sure who will explode first - him or us (from laughing so hard). I so wish I could video him and post it for every one to see what an adorable kid he is.

Okay, that's enough stalling. I must get back to work...
