Survivors

I have to admit, I am pretty happy that my brain still works! I haven't given it much time off lately... so I am glad that it hasn't gone on strike! After I got accepted into Creighton's program last April, they told me that I still needed to take a few classes... those classes turned out to be biochemistry, microbiology, nutrition and psychology. HUH?? I enrolled and took 15 credits this summer. Luckily, I survived. Rich had planned a trip for us in between the week break I had, so after I took my last final, we packed up our house (thanks again to everyone that helped) and headed off for Belize and Guatemala the next day. We had a fabulous time (I'll write about that later), then came back and moved to Hastings, NE. The day we arrived in Hastings was the first day of this semester. This last semester has ALSO been crazy. I have taken 18 credits. I recently realized that in 7 months, I have taken 33 credits. WOW. I will be taking 21 credits next semester... what was I thinking??!?!? AHAHHA!?! Oh well. It has been an awesome and challenging experience, and I know Rich and I have grown together because of our experiences. It is funny how much we are capable of when we have faith... and less sleep! :) I am really grateful for Rich's support this year. He is an amazing husband and is a very calming influence for me in my times of homework induced psychosis. I am also grateful for the people I have met in this program. They are fantastic people and I have learned a ton from them. I am also so grateful to be finished with school until January 12th!!! Woo to the hoo! Having this much free time is something I can definitely get used to! Yay for Christmas break.
