I finally made it through one of the craziest weeks I have ever had in college. Ontop of all of the extra stress at work, this past week I had four tests and four assignments due. I had my first test in the class that will decide if I get to leave this town in May or not and I did so so. For some reason on the first test in any class I take, before I know how the teacher sets up the tests, I make the same average on every test-around a 70. This time was no different. I was a little dissappointed since I did study for about twleve hours straight for it, but the grade could have been a lot worse considering it was over tube feedings, lab values, calculating nitrogen balance and more fun stuff I know sounds really boring.

Ryan's parents made it into town this weekend. Friday they were visiting Quala's parents, so Ryan and I drove to meet them there. It was only a two and a half hour drive, but we had all kind of craziness on the drive-out of nowhere in the dark, we had to slam on our brakes for a balloon!!!, the moon looked creepy-just like a classic halloween movie moon, we almost hit one deer right in the middle of the road, and saw seven more, we saw two porcupines!!(I have never seen one in person i don't believe!) We made in to see O'ma and O'pa about ten, talked and then hit the sack. In the morning we got to spend a little more time talking and then drove back to LBK for the big game! I don't know if anyone actually got to see the game, but we won 75-7. A blowout, but our defense needed to work on things and I thnk this helped. I felt bad for the otehr team though. Afterwards, we ate Olive Garden(yum) and came home to settle in for the night. For me it ended up only being two hours because I got the pleasure of working this morning! Now I am nuturing myself as it seems I am getting a cold or some kind of sickness. Go figure!

During all of my activities last week, I really needed a haircut. I wouldn't let myself get one since it would take some much time away from studying. Instead it was my incentive to finish the week.I got my haircut on Friday and I pretty much let the girl do what she wanted to. I trust her a lot since she is a friend of a friend and has done a super job on everyone else that I have seen. I don't think I was an exceptino to that! My hair is definitely something I have not done before and to me is daring compared to how long it used to be. Anyway...you can tell me what you think. This is actually the way my stylist fixedit, and I don't think some people liked it too much. I fix it differnently though and will have to post a pic of that way when I get it.

I am going to straighten up a little here and chug down some fluids to fight this yuckiness I have. Have a fantastic week!
