Valentines flowers

I just had to share my beautiful valentines day flowers. Isn't the little bear adorable?!
My honey is just too sweet.

Weekend Update

This weekend was nice and uneventful.  I spent most of it reading and taking notes, and studying for my anatomy lab quiz.  I found out that I got a B- on my microbiology exam, but I got 10 extra points so it brought my grade up to an A-.  I am not complaining one bit.  I didn't feel as confident about this exam and understand what I need to do to study better for this subject.  I don't think it helped that I had two exams back to back and was behind on my reading.  I noticed my notes were a little sparse and too much like the lecture notes, so I missed a few things.  I like to read the chapter and take notes expanding upon what I learned in class, but I didn't do that as much in micro this time because I was so behind.    I am back in my study groove and I am keeping on top of things a little better now. 

Here is a bit of new news (hehe) - Brad and I are (hopefully) going to buy a house.  We have been wanting to buy one for quite some time, but things just never worked out.  We found out on Monday that we have been pre-approved, so now we get to start shopping around!  It's fun and frustrating at the same time because we don't want to be smack dab in the middle of town, but there are not a lot of houses for sale on the outskirts.  We have found a couple that we like, and the ones we REALLY like are, of course, already under contract.  Darn our luck!  I will post some pics and keep you updated as we move along in this process, and hopefully find a house! 

Challenge Complete!

I made it through the 30 day challenge!  There were day I couldn't work out but I would make it up by doing two in one day.  It wasn't ideal, but I did them and burned a but load of calories doing it.  I have noticed a difference in my midsection and I finally dropped a couple of pounds.  I am really starting to be mindful of what I eat, and trying as hard as I can to avoid sugar.   I am going to workout the rest of this week with the different workouts posted, but come Monday I am going to start the next 30 day challenge.    I want to look hot in my bikini this summer!  :o)

Here's my workout for tonight:

Anatomy Grade

I got an A!  I am so stoked right now!  I got a 95, but I also got 10 points for registering my "clicker" (the response device that is used for taking attendance and quizzes), so I got 105%! I felt pretty good going into the exam and I am so relieved that my feelings were actually right.  I don't feel quite as confident on my micro exam, but I am pretty sure I got a B or B+, which I will be more than happy with. I am going to continue with my current study methods and hopefully I can keep up this trend for the rest of the semester.  hmmm, maybe I need to update my High Five for Friday post.  :o)

Happy Birthday!

He's going to kill me for this, but today is my honey's birthday. Happy birthday honey!!  We don't have any plans really, but I am going to cook him a meal of his choosing tonight.  He hasn't decided what he wants yet, but I already know that I have to make a cherry cheesecake. You know, the important stuff first!  :o) I haven't had a chance to pick up his gift yet - he's been home all week, so I have to figure that out tonight when I get home.  Tonight's not anything special, but I hope he enjoys it just the same. 

High Five for Friday!

I'm linking up Lauren at From My Grey Desk!

1. Tests are over! I am pretty sure I have at least B's on both of them. I am still hoping I pulled of one A, but a B is good too.

2. New boots from Target - even got them on sale! I have been looking for some new dress shoes and loved the look and price of these. I bought black and dark brown in the tall boot, they were half off - two for one, can't beat that!

  

 

3. Spending time with my honey. Brad has been home all week because his truck was being worked on.  It was really nice to spend time with him, but unfortunately I had so much studying to do it wasn't very quality like.  He was nice enough to make me coffee in the morning and he even did the dishes for me.  :o)  

4.  Free food at work! An A on my anatomy exam!

5. Mike's Hard Lemonade.  After a week like this, I need a couple of these this weekend!

Almost There!

Friday is almost here!  I am soooo looking forward to this weekend.  Well, looking forward to being done with my exams anyway.  Not that I'm not looking forward to the weekend, its just I have a lot to catch up on.  I neglected to go to the store last weekend, so I will do that Friday night, then I need to seriously workout!  I haven't at all this week, so I need to do two workouts per night this weekend to catch up and stay on track.  I am binge exercising and I don't like it. Not. One. Bit.  I have also been slack on my dieting this week.  I'm not really dieting per say, I have just been more mindful of what I eat and try to stay away from the fatty sugary stuff. Weeelll,  I think I have ate at McDonald's at least four times this week!  Ugh.  I need to get back on track!

Tonight is my microbiology exam and I hope it goes as well as my anatomy test.  I thought the questions were very similar to the quiz questions, a few were tricky, but I think I did well.  I hope I did well.  It seems that whenever I think I do well, I actually do awful, and when I think I did awful, I do well.  I know I'm not the only one that feels this way, but it doesn't help my frustration. :o)  I still have to study for my micro lab quiz, which shouldn't be bad, and then read over what we are supposed to do for tonight.  I usually pre-read the lab and condense down what the procedure is and what materials I need so I don't have to flip through 10 pages of directions and explanations. I am hoping I will have enough time in between my class and lab to do this - if not, lab may be a little frustrating.
