I stole you out of the Cliffie!

So today is the 1 year anniversary of Colby and I meeting. Its been associated with many witty, funny and even inappropriate comments. I told him the other day, as today was approaching that today wasn't going to be our anniversary because I didn't want him to be my boyfriend when I met him .. not at all :) I am so sweet. Butttttttt he got his hooks in - and look at us now!

(this is actually us on New Years, but I love it)

Life is flying by - this week has disappeared. Only 3 more days left of class instruction. Next Thursday I have a Histology practical (where we look at slides of tissues and have to do IDs) and then an Anatomy practical in the afternoon (where the tag things on the cadavers like muscles, nerve, veins, arteries, bones, and radiographs, too). Then Friday I have a quiz on respiratory physiology. The following Thursday is Mini 3. The Tuesday after that is the cumulative final. It feels like I have time, but I don't and hopefully this weekend it will really sink in that I need to get my butt into gear! Colby is working today and tomorrow so that should give me extra time to study too. I feel confident - but terrified. I know I work better under pressure .. so my time will come.

The latest Ross news is that due to increasing size of the incoming classes, they are expanding. I am in this program called PAcE that I was invited to be in based on my incoming MCAT and GPA. NOW -- PAcE students that are currently 1st & 2nd semester, will be attending our 3rd & 4th semesters on Grand Bahama! They will have a temporary campus for us and the real one will open in Jan 2010. Grand Bahama is right off the coast of FL and is a 6 1/2 hr $517 flight from LAX. Leave that morning, get to Grand Bahama before the sun goes down (even losing 3 hrs!). I am sooooo excited and hopefully things will work out. I will know lots more next Tuesday, as the Dean is holding a forum for us. Look at this link if you are interested: Ross Grand Bahama Campus Also, look at this link: Grand Bahama!


FYI: You might have to put your cursor over those two links above, I don't know if they will show up blue/underlined!

I hope all is well with everyone. Keep in touch.

And just to close with a treat ...

Hendry's beach in Santa Barbara in February. That place is beautiful :)
