tea+homework+weekend

I made green tea with a hint of mint

*the mint was from our garden this past summer. I dried them (in the summer) then crushed the leaves into a teapot (today).

I know, it doesn't look green. For some reason the Tazo green tea isn't green.

But it sure tastes delicious!

And this is where I do homework: on my floor. My desk is too small for all of my scattered papers.

Notice the yellow papers? In A&P, we are doing the urinary system. Coincidence? I don't think so...

I love my professor! hehe :) I'm really sad she won't be my teacher next quarter.

I need at least 5 colors when I'm working with anatomy&physiology

--------------------------

I don't know if I've said this before, but I LOVE MAKING LISTS.

Especially when it's the weekend, and when I'm feeling productive.

School seems to drain me out during the week, but on Saturday and Sunday I find energy to get a lot of stuff done. (if I write a list)

I get so happy when I'm able to cross stuff off the list ;)

On Friday afternoons, I write a whole long list of things I need to do/work on/finish.

I usually don't finish everything on the list, but I try! :)

This is the list from this weekend:

+add milk/flour/sugar to Amish Friendship Bread

+feed a friend's rabbit

+ read Romans 9-11, Ps 59-64, & Numbers 23-25

+read some of the Hunger Games book 2

+read some of the Help

+do laundry

+clean/organize room

+watch an episode of Glee

+memorize 1 Corinthians 10:13

+start my paper for music class

+run

+work at the coffee shop at church (aka Buna)

+watch/hold/feed/love/care for babies in the nursery at church

+call my friend, Amy

+paint my nails

+make a calendar for June, July and August

+ clean floors downstairs

+babysit for a small group Bible study

+study/work on A&P homework

And that's pretty much it. I only skipped/didn't finish 3 of them...

I'm ready as I'll ever be for Monday now.

Dental Hygiene Update

Disclaimer: I have not been accepted yet.

(just keep reading)

Best 15 letter word ever! :)

You know that feeling you get when you're so excited you can't think straight?

Well, I got that feeling about a week ago. And it was in the form of an email.

I had been patiently waiting for conformation on whether or not my almost 10-page application was valid or invalid. On February 24th, I checked my student email and there was a letter saying my application was valid (aka good to go!) Praise the Lord :)) Now comes the stressful/difficult part of getting accepted: tests. Three tests are between me and this two year program. Three tests! 2 of them are multiple choice (I think) and the other one is an essay.

Three tests that have nothing to do with dental hygiene, but have more to do with critical thinking and analyzing. They don't want me (or other applicants) to study for it, so there is no study guide.

There is on way to practice. Ugh. But in a way, I guess it IS good...to some extent. I can spend my time doing other things, and I don't feel guilty about not studying, but still. A few practice questions wouldn't hurt. :) Anyways, my first test is on March 15th, and the other two (one being the essay) are on March 24th. I need to dust off my essay writing skills... if I even had any to begin with ;) I haven't had to write papers for school in quite a few months.

*The letter of acceptance is mailed between late April and early May.*

- Lots of waiting to do :) -

As far as my current classes go, I love them very much. My professors are not only geniuses, but they are also excited to teach :) Which makes me excited to learn! Right now I'm taking Anatomy&Physiology part 2, Music Appreciation, Yoga and Choir.

Reading a book in the library before going to the gym.

In my spare time (aka between, after or before classes- it depends on the day), I walk to the campus gym. I run on the treadmill for awhile, then stretch or do something else or both. I'm kinda indecisive, so I just do whatever looks interesting at the time. Lately I've been listening to a podcast from a pastor in San Antonio, Robert Emmitt. We visited his church a few time while living in Texas, but Community Bible Church was too far away to drive to every Sunday morning. Needless the say, he is an incredible preacher/teacher. Click here for the podcasts). I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Maybe I'll do a 20 by 20 update post soon.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

:)
