Thoughts from a high place

I'm sitting in one of my favorite building on campus, the Ricks, right now I love this building for the view it has. Rexburg is a very small town; and from the Ricks I can see all of Rexburg and then some. Its a good place to study and think. While I was taking a break from studying the bones of the body, I popped over to Jo's blog to look at her pictures and see what was new. Jo's blog makes me wish I was better at blogging. Anyway, Jo has what she calls her "Monday Musings." I loved the idea, so I am stealing it from her, except mine will be more like Wednesday or Thursday Musings; since I have no time on Mondays. So here are my musings for the week.

-I am so happy I am less then a week away from hitting my half way mark with school. This semester has seemed to drag on. I am learning so much though. I have pushed myself really hard this semester, and it will all either pay off in a big way or blow up in my face, either way it has been an amazing learning experience.

- I have realized that I hate living with girls!! I love Brenna and Laura, don't get me wrong, there just comes a time that living with girls (any girl) becomes too much. This last week I have wanted to wring more than one of my roommates neck. Girls are just mean! And when that time of the month comes around some girls become even more mean! I can not wait till I no longer have to live with girls!

- Laser tag is more fun then I remember it being. For FHE this Monday, my stand in husband, James, decided we should play laser tag. I was not jazzed about the idea, but I couldn't come up with a better one so I agreed. It wasn't an epic event, and I would probably not do it over and over again. But I enjoyed it, and I was pretty good!

-I am learning new things about ice every day. For some unknown reason our heater was cranked up to 85 Monday night. I was dying in my room, so I opened my window a crack then went to bed. Around 4:30 am I woke up freezing! I reached up to my window to close it, only to discover that it was frozen open!! I gave up, piled the blankets on and fell back to sleep. In the morning when I woke up I investigated the problem. to my amazement I found my window completely covered in ice, and not a thin layer even. I had to pick away at the ice to get my window closed! Later that day I agreed to take my friend Doug to the store, I went out to my car to turn it on and let it warm up. It too was covered in ice, so I turned on the defroster and went back inside. When i went to get in my car 10 minutes later I made another shocking discovery. there wasn't just ice on the outside of my car, no, there was a thick sheet of ice on the inside of my car too! There is just something not right about having to scrape the inside of your car off!

-Im surviving up here! Somedays I really dont know how I am doing, but I know a lot of it has to do with prayer, pure determination, and of course hours of talking on the phone with Randy. :) I am not only surviving, but Im learning! I got an A- on my anatomy test a few weeks ago! I was pretty dang proud of myself!
