Well it's just over the half-way point in this class, about 3/5s actually and I just finished the 2nd Neuro exam and got a 74% on it. I know it's not as good as I want but the average was 74% and I've realized that I don't get out of the 1st standard deviation anymore. Not here, I'm not the cream of the crop anymore. But oh well, I passed and as long as I keep passing, things should turn out okay. Next week is the OMM practical final and written final. Now that is more troublesome. I hope that I do better there than last time. I really need to do well there. I'll be studying OMM most of the week, intermixed with Neuro at times when I need to get away.
On that note, Kristen came down with some flu or something this weekend. Actually when I woke up she had an eye glued shut with some mucopurulent pus. It was weird actually seeing something that I was just studying for Monday's test. I felt weird being like yeah, put a warm compress on that and keep it warm, like I actually knew something. Anyway she's still down and out, although she keeps telling me she's getting better.
I am missing the ready made food everywhere. And the cookies since she's been sick no cookies at all have been made. Not that she HAS to make them, but it's always nice to come home to a full cookie jar. Although so many cookies these last 3 months, I kind of liked the brownies that were made for Easter dinner with Dan, Kristie, and Dan's S.O.
Soccer is over for the season, next one starts I'm not sure, but I let Stotz know I would be interested in next season, we'll hear from here at some point. I was keeper last game we lost 6-4, but they were a good hispanic team... The problem was the guys in our team would be defending and try to dribble it around them just outside the box and of course they'd get it taken away... it was pretty close for a while but in the end with everyone tired, they let more through than I could handle.
Anyway class is over so peace... I'm out

I'm back
It's been basically a month since I wrote last, I know, not a good way to keep people informed about my life, but to my defense ... okay I don't have a defense. It's not good, I've been very busy with tests straight for a month followed by a spring break that wasn't very breaky (I only got to sleep in once) followed by being super sick, and still am it appears.
Anyway life continues. Mass Effect 3 came out and I haven't played it yet =( good thing my XBOX is still in Texas, I managed not to bring it up like I wanted to. So Kristen is glad about that; although I don't know how much longer I can keep it down there. But needless to say it shall be there till the end of my first year at least.
Upcoming activities are sparce since I don't really know what is going on yet. I know that there is a test in 2 weeks in Neuroscience again. I know I also have an OSCE encounter coming up here soon, I don't know what I am being tested on only that it could be a heart, lung, face, or neuro problem with the patient. Oh and abdomine as well.
Just got back from spring break in texas it went pretty well. We spent the week mostly with Kristen's family's house. It was so hot it was crazy. We watched the hunger games. I don't see it as a thought provoking movie about rebellion. I just basically watched a chick go around kicking butt and not dying. I got sick the last night we were in Texas so I didn't get to go to soccer last Saturday. I was puking too much. I got some of mother's promethazine, but I'm running low now that it's almost gone sadly.
Other big things. I think the best of them was the fact that a week ago in our soccer game I scored 4 goals in one half in our game. The bad news is that we had to forfeit because we lacked one girl that we needed to play. but still making 4 goals in one half was a good feeling.
Other than that I got to meet Kristen's oldest brother who got back from his mission on my birthday. We went to a beach and overall I think it was a productive week. Even if I didn't get to wake up... and getting sick
Well other than that, I'll try to be better at writing here but as always no promises

End of an Era
Well, sorry about the wait, I know I was supposed to be doing this more often but this last week was panic stricken. I got sick this weekend, had to study for my IDIT final and hope to pass it so that I could pass the class. Sick and test don't mix well with fun down time.
Anyway, big things in the news. I started playing in an indoor soccer league, and we won our first match 3-2, but to be fair they were two easy balls that the keeper should have gotten. At the half we switched keepers and they started playing much better but luckily the keeper managed to save them all. There were a lot of people there for the first game, as they usually are. Probably will end up with about half the number by the end of the season. Since I was sick I wasn't up to my usual standard, but I don't think that I played poorly, just I did best on defense since I couldn't quite get the ball to go in. We also didn't pass very well that game so that could have been part of it too.
Sunday like I said to some of you, I got a calling in churhc. Kristen and I are primary co-teachers or whatever that is. I don't know what it means exactly but I sit with the kids and Kristen teaches. I don't know if this is the bishop trying to get up to have kids. but if it is, this is the wrong way to go about doing it.
I don't know if I mentioned it last time, but the 2nd midterm I basically bombed pretty hard core, which is sad because I thought that I knew the stuff pretty well. It's hard to go into a test feeling confident, and look at the first questions and go, "oh shoot". It didn't get better. So this week I study 7 days straight basically ignored my wife and studied hardcore. I thought I knew it down pat, and I went into the test today and was like holy cow. The easy guy, Dr. Mata, our pharm professor went all ape crazy and like on the test. Does anyone out there know all 14 Ceflasporins? No? Me neither, and he had them written out like we were supposed to know them. Luckily all that studied I scrapped by with another P in a class. I was getting pretty frustrated because my friend plays WoT all the time (yes I showed it to him) and he basically doesn't study, and always does well. But at least this time I beat him, on this test and the class overall. That's a relief, I hate going into tests thinking that I might not survive medical school if I don't pass this test.
It was my birthday today so that was an awesome birthday present to pass a class. I did end up playing SC2 for a bit today trying to unwind. I got a text/call from Dan saying we should go eat at Shari's tonight, kind of like a Denny's. Kristen finally came home after leaving her phone at the house so I didn't know where she was, and we had dinner paid for by the study group. That was my birthday, so it went well.
I have another game this weekend, Friday I believe, it should be fun, get some stress off and kick something. I'll try to have Kristen take pictures or something so I can get more color out to you guys. You guys as in Sarah, Sara, (Kristen lives here), and I don't know who else reads this if anyone does, so yeah!
Anyway tomorrow is starting Blood and Lymphatics so I'm off to bed

Life Update
I felt like I should write something again even though I don't really have a lot going on. There was this one thing with Kristen, but I'll get to that in a bit. Also as everyone here knows by now, we're be going down to Texas for Spring Break.
Anyway the big Kristen this of the week. I put a folder that has all my little games in it, and apparently wanted to be a little funny. I put layers of files in files all saying don't look or trust me don't go further etc. I even put a file in there that runs a unlimited loop of files. But anyway, the first one on the desktop says Kristen don't look. She found out about it and instead of trusting me she got super curious. I talked to her about it and said not to worry. She would just feel bad if she stole into it and looked. I asked her to just trust me. Needless to say that night she was restless as we tried to go to sleep. The next morning after I showered and went downstairs she was in our recliner and there she was crestfallen. First words out of her mouth were "...I looked" , and "I'm sorry" One more thing she'll never live down in the next 20 years! Where is the trust?!?(sarcastic remark)
Sarah's blender really does blend very well. We used it Sunday night actually. I've been trying to not study so much on Sunday and we had a pretty nice lazy Sunday. In the end we made milkshakes, not smoothies, since fruit is expensive. No wooden splinters no nothing, actually it was pretty amazing. 3 blades in a blender work wonders. Whowza!
We also started using the crock pot as well, twice in one week. It was pretty good too, we had a nice Sunday lunch/dinner. Cookies have stopped being made at our house, I think I ate too many too fast and she couldn't keep up so just gave up, I'm a monster... a cookie monster.
This weekend I also started on an indoor soccer team. We are all from the medical school basically, and I just started it seems to be a fun time. I scored a goal and did some good passing/setting some people up. That might have been because I came on after half-time, and they were all tired and I was fresh, but I would hope that it is because of my mad baller skillz
And a last note I'll look in my pictures and see if there is anything worth putting up. The first is Kristen's first attempt at bread, and the next one is the cookie jar... empty unfortunately
