Birthday Month!

Yay! It's September. It's my favorite month of the year. :D Ha but school started the 30th and it has been great. I carpool with 2 other girls that live around here and so I only make the drive once a week. They are way fun too.

I'm enjoying my classes, even Microbiology which I was pretty sure I was going to hate. (I still might, we'll see after the first test...) It's more related to nursing than I thought it would be, my teacher is really entertaining and knows his stuff.

I had my first nursing test on Monday and passed with a score above average, so that was exciting. I start clinicals on my birthday (boo) and they go from 630 am to 630 pm in Salt Lake. Pretty sure I'm going to be dead. I'm really excited though. And in a couple weeks we get to do a flu clinic and actually give shots! Kinda freaks me out a little but I'm really excited.

I finally unpacked all my stuff yesterday (after three weeks) and got to see my dad for a couple hours between classes so that was pretty awesome. He got me a curtain for my window that blocks out light because my room was getting SO hot in the afternoon even with the AC on. I cannot sleep if it's hot and so this helped a ton! Thanks dad...and as a bonus it blocks out a lot of sound, so even with the busy street by me I don't get woken up as often. I also got apples from my dad, which are SO great. I can't bring myself to buy apples from the store, even if they are from Washington.

I'm also on an intramural volleyball team with Whit, Marci Nelson and some girls Whit knows. We have no one over 5'9, but we still get SO close to winning. We have another game tomorrow night so we'll see how it goes. It's really fun to get back playing more competitively and not just playing around.

So this is really random, but mostly just a catch up on the first couple weeks of September. I'll get some more pictures too, I haven't taken any in a couple weeks. Anyone know any good cheap recipes that I can split and freeze for easy meals? I spend all day in Salt Lake on Tuesdays and it would be nice to have something ready to go. Thanks!
