Hello everyone!!
I know it's been a while since I've updated... plenty of things going on. Research is blasting off (I had to lug home 3 very heavy books on dissecting and culturing mice brains, including fetal ones :( But I guess it'll be worth it in the end if a discovery is made, or even a new piece of information is found)... my work is doing pretty well (hopefully I get accepted into the research), and me and the boyfriend have been attending church every Friday, which I'm finding to be my weekly dose of "you're not super woman, it's ok to take the back seat and let God drive for a while... even though he really is always driving..." lol. It's relaxing, I feel like we connect more, and next Friday we are going to be paintballing and playing some games, which I'm very excited about!!!
My baby's first birthday is just in 2 weeks!!! Mommy is so very proud of him and excited to share his birthday :) We finally found a shirt that fit him (he's a big boy at almost 90 pounds), and got some blowing bubble thingies (because you know dogs love to chase those around), as well as paper cups, plates, and some football/soccer bowls... everything is 1st birthday themed of course, with little sports balls and things like that. I have yet to find his cake... I need to get it in the shape of a bone preferably, but let's see.
Other than that, school is going well, I've started a diet (my jeans are way too tight for my liking right now)... and yep, that's about it!!
Well I'm off to study... have an exam Wends, oh joy!!

Finally, a break..
Well, this last week was hell.
I can't even remember the last time I blogged lol!
But at last, I've finished all my exams and come out victorious!! I'm not sure if I blogged about how much of a disaster I was in Chemistry last semester, and how much I was dreading each exam and would probably fail the class... well, my average for the exams last semester (excluding the final) were somewhere in the D range... 65 or so, which is still above the class average of 60 on these things. This semester, guess what I got on my very first chem exam (of which I freaked, had a panic attack and guessed on a good amount of problems)....
An 80.
YES.
AN 80.
B.
WOOHOO!!!!
You have no idea how much I jumped for joy. And my A in stats before that was the highlight of my week. I managed to scrape by on my bio exam, and my formal lab report, and now I am home free.
Not exactly, because there was a stack of research papers waiting for me on my desk today when I got to lab, and lots of reading up to do to prep for the research study we'll be doing in the next year (and remember my new job as well), but it'll be worth it, and at least it's not examinations!!
AAANDDDDD
I have my lovely spa day to look forward to in less than 48 hours!!
But for now, I'm going to go find myself my good friend Patron and have a nice margarita to celebrate my accomplishments :)

Stressed!!
Why is it that everyone loves to put their exams in the same week?!?!
I want to shoot some heads off for this atrocity!!
I have Stats tomorrow, Chem tuesday, Bio wends, and I also have a quiz due for each bio and chem on sunday, a literary topic with 5 abstracts on a 5 page paper due tuesday for my bio lab, and a formal lab report due thursday for chem!!!
And then of course, after all the hulabaloo is over...
Nothing.
Nada.
The rest of the next 2 weeks is pretty much empty with only a quiz scattered here and there on random crap.
-.-'
I mean, really... I feel like I'm hussling for a drug dealer to make the month's quota and then I'm let off the hook as soon as I make those 10 extra dollars.
But goddamn those 10 extra dollars are hard to make!!!

Tired Tuesday
This whole getting up at 7am and not getting home until 6pm to study for an hour and then hit the gym really takes a toll lol.
But I can't complain too much... I need to trudge through the next week and get over any obstacles in my way so I can do really well on all of my exams and be able to enjoy myself after next Wends' bio exam. I have a spa day for myself next Saturday that I am SOOOO looking forward to (and more than ready for!), and then Valentine's Day that Monday!! Hooray!!
Alright, let me get back to my work. It's my front door neighbor's, and very long time friends birthday tonight and he's having a little get together at 9 that I'd like to attend.
See you guys later!!
