Finals Week.

Well, I am still alive after 6 weeks of cramming anatomy into my brain. haha It has been tough, but I have done a lot better then I ever thought I would do, especially in so short of time! It has helped so much having 2 roommates that are in the class with me so we can just be super dedicated and study all of the time. Luckily they are the type of girls who wont blow studying off for later, thanks Nikki and Sara!!! This week is our muscle test, and our final test on everything we have learned. The muscle test will consist of naming all of the muscles in the body, where they originate, insert, and their action! It is going to be crazy! Pray for me!

This past week we got to go into the cadaver lab for the first time, I'm not going to lie I got pretty nervous when he opened the door and the formaldehyde smell became really strong. I got queasy and weak in the knees but I didn't pass out! I was proud of being strong haha cause some others in my class got sick and had to run out. So when we got in the room there were 5 or 6 metal casket looking things and our teacher was telling us that we needed to be careful cause if we open the bags to quick the liquids that keep the bodies fresh will leak out (gross huh?) So we open them up and at first everyone was kinda shy not really wanting to touch anything, but once we got "warmed up" we got to feel around and touch the heart, liver, intestine, kidney, stomach, and I got to hold the rib cage. It was the grossest thing I have seen But it was so interesting to see how everything looks inside! I wrote Griff on Wednesday in email telling him about my experience and he wrote back later and said that he passed out reading it haha, I don't know if he really did but he really does have a weak stomach so I wouldn't be surprised!

Mom, I am posting pictures so that you know I really am cooking up here! And my roomies say it's good unless they are lying. :) But tonight we made dinner for some friends and it turned out really good! It was Bisquick chicken, scalloped potatoes, and green beans! In the picture it is Parmesan chicken and Penne pasta (Thanks Jen!)

I can't believe how fast this past month and a half has gone up here, I absolutely love it and I have been so blessed to have the roommates that I have. We just moved into our new renovated apartment that will be ours for this fall. It has new carpet, AC, and washers and dryers in our apartments! I'm grateful for the experiences I have had here and wouldn't change them for the world! I've came so much closer to my Savior being here and feeling the spirit that is around everywhere! I love it!

I'll write again after finals to let you know how things went. Oh and if any of you have ideas for what I should go into feel free to throw them out there! I'm thinking Interior Design, Dental Hygiene, or Home and Family stuff. Love you all!
