Can you believe it? More tests!

Well finals week is approaching very quickly. Technically finals aren't until next week, however we have three finals this week (along with our normal class load). I cannot wait until this semester is over. Then Josh and I are taking a much needed vacation to DC! I am hoping that the weather will be gorgeous. It has to be better than the last time we were there, freezing cold and snowing. Hopefully we will get some touring time alone, some visiting time with our brothers (and sister in laws) and some time with our one and only nephew (for the time being- in September we will have another niece or nephew.) And shortly after that baby is born they will be moving to Minnesota so we can actually see them more than once a year.

But DC is still a couple of weeks away and September is even farther but my biochem test is tomorrow...

Almost done

So tomorrow is the last test of this long span of tests that I've had. It is going to be the butt kicker of all the tests too. Not only is it a hard test in general but it came at the very end of all my tests so there was no energy or motivation to study. oops. Its physiology, which I've already had in undergrad so I'm hoping I will remember something, enough to at least let me pass the test.

Then tomorrow at 3:30 I am basically on vacation. Twins game tomorrow night (if they don't sell out before we get there) Then Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter. This is my most favorite time of year! :)

The never ending tests

So Emily suggested that I write a new blog. But since all I ever do is take tests that is all I can blog about.

Last week we have four tests and one lab test/competency. Overall they all sucked. And we're not done.

We have two more this week, one tomorrow and one on Wednesday. Since I didn't study at all this weekend I have spent my entire afternoon and evening studying neuro for tomorrow which means that my entire afternoon and evening tomorrow will be spent with physiology. But after the test on Wednesday we are done for a long time. And I am basically taking the rest of the week off.

Wednesday I am going to the Twins game, if they don't sell out before we get there to get our tickets, which we can't get until an hour and half before the game starts since we want to get the discount student tickets.

Then the rest of my week is filled with the traditional holy week stuff with a possible Twins v. Yankees game on Saturday, if Kendrick makes it down here in time.

Satisfied Emily?

Sewing, bikes, and groceries

So two weeks ago I ordered my sewing machine and it was suppose to take 5-10 days to get it. Well I was anxiously waiting so when my accessories came last saturday (which I ordered they day after my machine) I was very disapointed and more anxious. I was also a little nervous that someone stole my machine since we've had problems with our delivery services before. So monday when I came home from school it still wasn't there so I called the company. She found my order number, with much difficulty and told me that my machine had already been delivered. I told her that was a problem since obviously I don't have it. So I called FedEx and they told me that their records showed that it was delivered to the office on Friday at 2:15. This made me furious. first off I was home Friday at 2:15 so the guy didn't even attempt to deliver it to my door, secondly I could have had my machine all weekend long and I didn't. So I told the guy on the phone that I don't know if he's the one I complain to but I need to vent so shut up and listen. I was so mad.

Anyway, I've had my machine since Monday and have been sewing everyday since then. Its been kind of frustrating so far, sometimes my machine has a mind of its own, but I think my first quilt is going ok so far.

Then today josh and I bought bikes. What a purchase. We did get the bikes on sale, they were only $5 more a piece for what we would spend on our bus passes for the summer. And since we aren't buying bus passes, it was quite the deal. However, we had to buy all the accessories for the bikes, helmets, locks, a pump, and a rack for our car, so by the time we checked out it was more than just $10 more than our bus passes. But if we ride our bikes in the fall too instead of bus passes then we will break even.

So Josh and I took a bike ride to the lab, which is where I am now, i think its about 2 miles to here, and I'm seriously wondering if I am going to make it home. My legs are just not the same now as they were when I was 10 and could ride my bike ALL day long.

So speaking of deals (with the bikes) I have to write about my awesome grocery shopping last night. Josh and I got a HEAPING cart full of groceries, more groceries than I've ever gotten, and good stuff too, lots of fruits, chicken, pizzas, ice cream,eggs, etc. And we saved $29.29 with all the coupons we had. I have never used so many coupons at once, it was awesome. And we still only spent just over $100. I swear we go grocery shopping all the time and we can never get out with under $100 of groceries, well last night we were so close. Josh and I always make bids on how much we spend and usually we're pretty close. Last night, if we played price is right style, we would have both been BIG losers. I think Josh was $40 over. I was like $20 over. We just got awesome deals. I love it.

So now we have a freezer and fridge full of food, emily and eric are coming over. We rented two awesome movies to watch with them, just for emily. Pot roast, jello, movies and snacks. I love my weekends.
