Brain Break

I had my first anatomy test last week and it went well! I feel like I have a full time job studying for anatomy, but thankfully I only have 7 more weeks (yes I am counting down). I did come to the conclusion last week, during a study break, that life would be much easier as a cat. I looked up from my books to see them lounging and living a carefree life. The pictures below will explain exactly why this seems so appealing...

This weekend my mom is coming into town! I am really excited to see her because this going a whole month without seeing family is not working for me. I will also have Nick here for the 4th of July weekend. We will be celebrating by having a cookout and watching fireworks on the lake with some of my friends from OT school. I had no idea that Lubbock had any lakes, but we will see what they call a lake here...I am thinking it will be more like a pond, either way hanging out with everyone should be a blast!

And just because I need to vent for a second...somehow I have managed to end up with rapper, gangster, drinking type neighbors AGAIN! I am convinced that I have the worst luck! My freshmen year of college I had the same issue and when I called the courtesy cop for a noise complaint, the guy ended up getting arrested because he had a warrant for something worse than noise. Needless to say I think I will have issues with this my whole life (sigh). I mean the reason I moved into my apartment complex now because is because it is a complex where a lot of young families and older people live. Apparently I just thought I could break the curse...boy was I wrong! It seems the only young, partying individual in this place resides in the apartment right next to me. This has presented a few issues because I need a quiet atmosphere to study and sleep (like most normal people do), so I have had to call the courtesy cop twice. The office told me next time I call, he will be evicted so he is hanging by his last thread! I have never considered myself to be a hard person to live next too, but I have a small fuse for noise. We will see how it goes, though. I haven't heard a sound from him in the last week, so things may be looking up!

On the other hand, I feel it neccessary to announce that Nick is still alive and doing great in Whitney! I would elaborate more, but, well I don't know anything else! He is extremely busy, so hopefully I can get a play by play of what happened this summer in August when his internship ends. I do know that he is at church camp right now as a counselor. This week is the junior high kids camp and next week is high school age kids. Nick has to stay for both sessions so I am sure he will be exhausted when he arrives in Lubbock for the 4th of July. The boy will need some sleep for sure! I did get the opportunity to have dinner with his Aunt Donna and Emily this Tuesday, though, and we had a great time! Emily is coming to Texas Tech this Fall, and I have already planned for us to have dinner at my apartment at least a few times a month (I will have to let her know of these plans, of course). I am excited for her to be here and I know Nick is even more excited! Well that seems to be all for now. I hope everyone is having a great summer!
