Swamped

I was bad and skipped Tuesday's workout - but I was tired from studying so much over the past couple of weeks, so I took a break.  I did do the workout last night - and it was killer!  I have a late class tonight so I will have another rest day.  I do plan to workout this weekend and will hopefully make up for my laziness.  :o/

I found out yesterday we are going to have a quiz in anatomy over muscles on Monday, which adds to the lab practical on Tuesday.  I have quite a bit of studying to do for the practical as we just went over the joints on Tuesday, but the rest will hopefully be review. I have finished reading the chapter for the quiz, but still have to condense my 13 pages of notes to one page, which my get a little tricky.  We started a new chapter in microbiology, microscopy and staining, and I will need to read and take notes over that as well.  Boy, I have a full weekend ahead of me! I can't believe that spring break is only a month away!

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!
