The sun is burning my eyes out.

THe above title has nothing to do with this post. It is just the sun was quite bright when I exited the Tanner building/church today.

I have noticed that in the past week I have started thinking that inanimate objects look like anatomy structures. i.e. I'm walking home from class and see a rock and think "oh, that looks like a platella." I know. It's pretty weird. I'm getting a little more nervous for anatomy because the fire marshall made a visit and said that too many students were in the open lab at a time. THis led to an e-mail from the head anatomy professor explaining that only 24 students would be allowed in open lab each hour, and students are only allowed to spend up to 2 hours in lab each week. Ah!! I have no idea how I'm going to pass this class.

I just got home from the grocery store. It's hard to shop for food when I'm not allowed to eat anything harder/chewier than well baked fish. I don't even know what that means. Pretty sure I haven't eaten fish in over a year. I ended up buying bananas, grapes, yogurt, cottage cheese, bread and facewash. I'm not planning on eating the facewash.

Today I met with an academic counselor. He didn't really tell me very much new information, but he just encouraged me to chase my dreams and take advantage of the amazing opportunities offered at BYU. It wasn't the best experience, but better than any of my meetings with my high school advisor. ha.

This evening I spent three point five hours in the library studying. I know I'm amazing. It was actually very nice. I really enjoyed just getting into my homework. I think I'll try it more often.

Well, it's time to go get ready for bed/put a bag of hot rice on my face/sleep.

1 down 3 to go

I took my anatomy midterm tonight. I have never been so nervous for a test in my entire life. Not even the ACT or the AP spanish test or my drivers ed test. Hopefully I did alright, I mean I felt like I knew most of the terms, but the spelling is what is questionable. I also couldn't stop thinking about a former roommate(you know who you are) who was an anatomy TA once upon a time who may or may not have made fun of students when they put the wrong answer.

I can't even describe my excitement about the fact that I have no class tomorrow.

three minutes

I have three minutes left in my dinner break before I am going back to the anatomy lab to continue my studying. First, I want to make an edit to my post from yesterday. I had originally written that I have 3 finals this week. Myth. I have four. It's alright though. I will survive. I am planning on going on a study abroad next year. I just cant decide between Jerusalem or London! If anyone has any comments on that-please feel free to help me out and tell me what you think. I am excited for this week. It's going to be a hard one, but I feel confident that once it is over I will still be alive-which is all that matters...maybe.

Well, there's the bell, which means it is 6pm and my three minutes are up.

Cancelled.

Today I didn't feel well-my tummy felt all turned upside-down. Well, I really didn't want to throw up, so I decided that it was a good idea to take a quick 10 minute power nap. My cat nap turned into a 1.5 hour re-vamp. (you are probably thinking, "courtney, don't you have class during that time?-the answer is yes. Usually. Today I only kind of had class. I missed my religion class, and my humanities class was CANCELLED!!!! Yay!!) I did go to my polisci class, and my anatomy lab. I think I did really well on my anatomy quiz, but I felt the same way last week, and that didn't turn out well.
Things I'm excited for:
1. three day weekend
2. only one more class this week
3. Sledding/skiing after the awesome snow storm outside.
Things I'm dreading:
1. Political science paper due on Monday
2. Anatomy mid-term next Wednesday(oh how I wish I took this class last winter when Angie the Anatomy Goddess was my roommate.)
3. 20 more days on a soft diet

8. I'm sitting in Humanities right now learning about Virgil's Aeneid-if you don't know what it is, don't ask me because I just spark noted it-there was no way I was going to read 70 pages when the professor told us we would have to spark note it anyway.
9. I didn't even wear my coat to class today.
10. I'm real tired.
