So, who's not ready for the next couple weeks of life? *raises hand* One month from this past friday I will be in Menahga beginning staff training, and starting another crazy awesome summer at camp. I am so excited. At my interview last year for camp the program director told me kind of as a warning, I guess, that camp is a ton of fun, but most people say at the end of the year it's the hardest work they've ever done. Chris and I talked about that this weekend, and both of us don't find that to be true. First of all, yeah ,you get physically tired, because it's 100 degrees for a week and you're still running around 15 hours a day trying to keep up with your campers, but you don't burn out nearly as fast as when you're at school. Second of all, it's stuff you want to be doing, sure things like hobos and work projects aren't great, but they're a small price to pay for the rest of the week.

Two weeks from today I will be in Moorhead with a van full of my stuff, and done with school for almost four months. That'll be a good feeling. Especially since Chris took his last final on Friday. He came down to visit me this weekend, and left at 5:30 this morning, crazy guy, had to get back for Sunday School though, I admire that dedication. It was a pretty good weekend, Chris was officially initiated into the city by being spit on by an obviously jaundiced drunk guy at the bus stop asking for money, it was pretty disgusitng. That evening he took me out to Crown College, which is about 30 miles out of the city so we could be somewhere quite, and it was quiet, it was fabulous. We went and sat on a really shaky dock on their lake and watched what we think may have been a lot of otters feeding on the lake. It was fabulous.

Today I have a crap load of things to do for next week, I have my lab practical tomorrow, a Micro quiz on tuesday, and on wednesday I have a report, and worksheet due in OChem lab, and a final in Psych. But thursday on out is pretty easy going, as far as finals weeks go, I have my O Chem final on Thursday, and a non-cumulative Micro final on Friday, so I pretty much have a solid week to study. Alright, I really have to do stuff now, I may resurface after finlas, we'll see.

Hello All, this has been an interesting week. I'm beginning to feel the pressure of finals approaching, and getting into med school. Haha, maybe a little premature for med school worries, but hey, that's how I roll. I am really ready for this semester to be done. I want to be done with massive amount of homework all the time, having no life except for the weekends Chris visits, and even then having to do homework. And I'm tired of the weekends Chris doesn't visit (or I don't visit him).

I had an epiphany yesterday as to par of the reason I'm so on edge here. There's so much noise, everywhere. Not only do i have a noisy roommate, i have noisy neighbors, and we're right in the center of campus, so I have all the outsdie noise. It's never quite, and I need a little quite to be sane. So Chris said when he coems down in two weeks (when he's done with his finals, how unfair is that?) that he will drive me to a place outside of the city, somewhere quite that we can hang out for a day or less. I'm already really excited.

Other than that, not too much as been happening, I'm gettin really ready to be at camp. though, i'm owrried i won't have the energy for it. Let's hope that's not true, and that the energy will return once I've had some time to res after finals and am back in that setting. Other exciting news, Peter and Betsy are going to be in the cities when Chris comes back once again to help me move out, so we are probably going to hang out with them. Oh, also I now have a Grey's Anatomy group. Woot.

Alright, so it's been a while. And it has also been a crazy past, well month I guess. Spring break was fun, visited Laurie, saw some dolphins, visited Chris, saw Mark Schulz, a good time overall. Last week was insanity, I had three exams, and an O Chem lab report due. But, I survived until thrusday, adn then Chris arrived since someone goes to a Lutheran school and gets and Easter break. It was a really nice weekend, we went to the SDC show that Alex and Brent were in, and we had a more successful adventure to Como, actually getting to see everything, and not freezing to death. Quite a lot more successful. We also made an easter cake, and hid spring eggs in my hall.

Yesterday I stayed up later doing homework than i think I ever have before. I as up until four writing a paper for Micro lab, that maybe should have gotten done over the weekend, but who cares, it's done. And today, it's snowing! Like hardcore, low visibility, staying on the ground snowing. It's the 11th of April, I will have finished my last final one month from now, and it's snowing, what kind of crap is that? Anyway, off to O Chem lab. Have a pleasant week all!
