Don't forget to take a deep breath

So life has been absolutely crazy since the last post! Two weeks ago I moved to Lubbock and Nick went on his merry way to Whitney, TX. He is doing a great job as an intern there and is having a great time with all of the kids! He recently designed a t-shirt for the youth group, so I will try and hassle him to put a picture up of the design.

Since I moved to Lubbock a week early, I was a worried about what I was going to do to occupy myself, but thankfully my wonderful friends came to the rescue! Jen and Becca drove up to Lubbock and stayed for about 5 days. It was so much fun to have them here! We explored Lubbock and even went to New Mexico to see Roswell.

They left the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, but I was not alone for long. Nick and I met in Abilene Sunday night and spent some time together. It was really nice to see him and we treasured every moment because I may not see him agian until August. We basically found everything to do in Abilene that was free. We went to the mall, to the park, and even on a self directed tour of ACU. Unfortunately, on the way back my 2 and a half hour drive to Lubbock turned into a 4 and a half hours because I missed my exit...another reason I should probably get a GPS.

As far as my life goes at the moment...oh wait I don't have one! I started classes at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center on Tuesday, and I haven't been able to breath since. I am taking three classes, two focused on Occupational Therapy and an anatomy class where we dissect cadeavers. I was a little bit concerned about dissecting a human, but so far I have been fine in the lab (no passing out, feeling faint, or even needing to sit down). My lab group is all boys, which makes for an interesting lab session everyday, but they have turned out to be a great group! We will be dissecting all summer, and we have lecture every day for 2 and a half hours. It is definitely exhausting! I have met a lot of girls in the MOT program, but I have become really close with about five of them. We have formed a study group, which I was a little weary about because I have never felt like I benefited from group study, but I am warming up to the idea. It is amazing what a motivated group of girls can get done...nothing like undergraduate groups which usually consist of a little study and a lot of chatting. We met today and studied for 3 hours together, making charts and talking through all of the muscle functions. This is going to be a tough summer, but thankfully I am not working so I can devote every bit of free time I have to school. I may not be posting very much thoughout the summer because of how busy I am, but I will make sure Nick updates everyone on how things are going!
