update + just awkward

Yikes! 
It's been over two months since I blogged last. I gotta say, I kinda miss it. 

Life update: This semester is flying by. In a short month & a half it'll be done & gone, then I'll have super intense summer school. It's called the Summer Practicum, and it consists of a test everyday at 8 am, 4 hours of lecture, 4 hours of lab, go home at 5-6pm, cry, study, maybe eat, sleep, and repeat for about 11 weeks.  If I survive that, then I'm assigned a hospital lab for a year (my senior year) of clinicals. I'm excited, nervous, happy, and sad all at the same time. Big things are changing this fall. I know I won't be in North Dakota, and there's a 95% chance I know where I'm going, but I don't want to post it here in case it changes.  If you message me, I'll probably tell you! :)

But probably the biggest news is that I finally have a sweet little baby sister! After 4 brothers, she's here. :) She's absolutely beautiful, and I'm heart broken that I can't hold her until the end of the month.

And here's the awkward stuff I've done, seen, felt or heard in the past weeks. Enjoy ;D

First of all, it's still cold here. What a surprise. ;) haha I'm not complaining; I know I'll miss it in 3 months... ok, maybe 4.

*in ballroom dancing*
Me: I was homeschooled.
New partner: Really?! You seem pretty normal.
Me: gee thanks, buddy.

Biking on a frozen lake during Spring Break.... haha because biking on a frozen lake not during Spring Break is normal...? :-}

My lip started bleeding during a test. That either means I was nervous & bit it, or it shows you how dry it is here. Or both.

The one day I decide to not wear long underwear, the fire alarm goes off in the union. It was only -2 outside. Why...

Skiing down a hill and almost running over a squirrel. He was so close that his fur probably touched my ski. Stupid squirrel.

A ballroom TA (teacher's assistant) thought I was a TA. Either he's not very observant or I'm not a bad dancer. I'd like to think the second option. ;)

When a police woman drove by while talking on her cell phone (it wasn't hands free). Isn't that... Illegal? 

The guy in front of me at Subway was wearing Hawaiian swim shorts OVER his jeans. 

 The three littlest <3

 

On Sunday it was relatively warm and sunny. On Monday, a blizzard came through and canceled school for two days!! Happy first day of April from North Dakota. :D
