Spring 2009 Semester

I can honestly say that I am definitely glad that Spring 2009 has officially come and gone. Today our grades were posted, and I was afraid that I was going to get the following grades:

• MS 102 = A
• SPAN = B
• MATH = C (Because I flunked my final exam)

Instead, I got the following:

• MS 102 = A
• SPAN = A
• MATH = B+ (YEAH!!!!)

I was able to pull my GPA up from a 3.3ish to 3.642!!! If I got an A in my Math class, I would have had a 3.7; Oh well! Anyway, I would technically need a 3.7 to even be considered for the nursing program when I apply in November, however, I think I'll be able to get in. I just have to work my buns off to make sure that by mid-term I am holding solid A's in Chemistry and also in Anatomy and Physiology. Oh, by the way, the classes I'll be taking in the fall are:

• MS 201 (2.0 credits)
• BIO 264 (4.0 credits): Anat. & Phys.
• CHEM 101 (4.o credits) : Chemistry (Taking CHEM 101 because my credit from high school is too old. Hm, imagine that!)
• FDREL 121 (2.0 credits): Book of Mormon

I'm glad for this break we are underway with: 6 weeks of no school. GOD BLESS! I am, however, thankful for the down time because it's allowed me to get my two offices stripped down and now, it's time to put things back together. (Well, the deep clean and re-organization of the offices will happen next week when I have more time.)

Tomorrow through Saturday we have Education Week. I'm excited that I'll get to help out with that again. It's always a pleasure and such a great Spiritual uplifting experience. Good times indeed!

Anyway, if anyone has any great ideas of how I can get ahead in studying for my Anat. & Phys. class, PLEASE let me know. Much love to one and all.

KAUA'I HERE I COME!!!

Well folks... I finally did it! I booked a flight home to Hawai'i! I leave August 11th and come back on September 1st!!!! It's only $391.20 for a round-trip ticket from Las Vegas to HNL, then to Kaua'i. Thank goodness for cheap flights from Idaho Falls to Las Vegas as well! =) Love it!

AAAAHHHHHHHH! I'm so excited!

Little miracles...

Today I was able to reconnect with a dear friend. What a beautiful and sweet little miracle.

Snip-snip here, Snip-snip there...

Lately I've been craving a hair trim. That's right, a hair trim... not cut... and well... last night my roommate trimmed my hair! Yeah! It feels A LOT healthier.

Anyway, here's a picture of Keaton, my roommie, and me after she worked magic on my curly hair!

New "Adventure"

Guess who's got a new adventure?

Well friends, as crazy as some of you think I am, I really think that this one with take the cake. I don't know if I'll make this a life goal, meaning I'd have to complete this before I die, but... I am thinking of doing each of these Marathons... it's called the Adventure Marathons. Here's the website for more information: http://www.adventure-marathon.com/Default.aspx

Next year, if I'm not in the Nursing Program at BYU-Idaho, I'm pretty sure I'm going to run the Great Wall of China Marathon next May 15th. Meaning, I have to pinch pennies between going to school and paying to go to China.

Anyway, that is my new goal adventure.

Happy early 4th of July

Well, another 4th of July is coming... this year, I am hiking West Table with some friends of mine tomorrow morning, then a fun breakfast on Saturday morning with some other friends. (Hopefully I'll get some homework done in between then.)

Something interesting happened to me the other day. I had an opportunity to attend a meeting with a friend of mine and we talked about identity theft. It's insane just how much of that goes on here in the US by fellow US citizens and also for those who are coming to this country. The thing of it is, sometimes lawyers can only help so much. But what about a restored credit record? A clear slate from other people stealing who you are? Well... I think I've finally found a company that will help with that. I'm doing more research on the company just to make sure.

However, just think about it... what if there was a company out there that could really help to "restore" your identity... credit and all? Wouldn't that be amazing to look into? Having a company look out for you? Interesting thought indeed.

Happy 4th of Julying. Be safe and have A LOT of fun!
