Our Anniversary

Its not even our anniversary and we have already bought all of our anniversary gifts for each other. We decided to buy new furniture, since we moved and we needed something to fill up all the space we now have. We bought a new dining room table with four chairs and a new couch chair and ottoman, in a colored called fawn. But basically it is white. I figure that this might be the only time in my life that I can have white furniture and have it stay white. I can only say this because I know Josh won't be using it since he is always upstairs.

As of tonight we bought our second anniversary gift. Airplane tickets to DC!! Now this wouldn't have to be an anniversary gift but on all those little lists that say what to get/give for anniversaries, paper or a clock is the gift to give for the first year. So I think etickets count as paper! (So matt and laura be ready... you might have some house guests. I think we will be able to confirm our tour of the whitehouse for the 13th (of May) so write this on your calendar so you don't miss out.)

So here I am searching for plane tickets and writing blogs instead of studying. This semester is of to a great start. I have ten different classes to keep track of this time. I think just staying organized will be a challenge and then all of the studying on top of that... It will be a crazy semester. Which is why I was so adamant about taking a break to DC- I'll need sometime to just have fun before jumping into a very busy summer schedule.

Older and wiser??

Another year older...

Well break is almost over. I suppose its about time since I'm getting a little bored. I'm not sure if I really want to go back to all that school work though. The longest semester is over so I think I can handle this one. Plus we get a nice spring break right in the middle of it.

We're all moved in to our apartment. I love it here so much. Now we need some new furniture to fill up the place. Maybe for a birthday gift...

Yay Rah!!!

My sister is getting married! Yay Rah!

I passed Histology!

O yes O yes. I have never been so excited about a C in my entire life. This is offically my first C ever. But it feels great. Now I can really have a good vacation.

The stay at the depot was ok. Our room worth was $189. Totally not something I would ever pay for. Plus you have to pay $14 a night for parking. Ridiculous. I wasn't even that impressed with the Old Spaghetti Factory. The meat sauce tasted a little weird. But I had this really awesome oreo milkshake. So that made the meal completely worth it. And a couple hours in the hot tub was very relaxing. Overall it was a very fun evening. And when I came home this morning I had the second disc of season five of gilmore girls waiting for me. Yay Rah!

So I'm done now

Well I'm done with my first semester. I thought it would be great to be finished with my classes. But I can't relax yet because my last exam, in histology was the worst test I have ever taken. I'm pretty sure that I made completely in the dark guesses for at least 80% of the test. And the other 20% I was able to eliminate one or two choices but then I still had to guess. It was not pretty. I think the lab portion went ok, so as long as I picked up a few points there I think I will pass, but of this I am not yet certain.

So I sit here stressing out over my grade, unable to relax and enjoy the start to my vacation. I know there is nothing I can do about the test now, but to think that I would have to take histology over is so incredibly agonizing. Hopefully by Monday I will know my grade. I recalculated what I need to get a D in the class and it looks promising. I only needed 55 out 140. So even by guessing on the entire written test I think I was able to get 55 points right.

So except for histology its great to be done. Today I am going to start packing up our house. and tonight Josh and I are staying at the Depot and going out to dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory. This is going to be a great break. No studying, no waxing teeth, and no histology.

Finals week

Finals week is finally here. And I only have three finals this week. Two today and one on Wednesday. However, they are the longest finals I have ever had, and I will use almost all of the time. Today starts off with waxing practical, waxing a mandibular first molar, a tooth that we have already waxed for a practical and I aced. So I am not too concerned. However following that three hour practical we have our oral anatomy final which I have no idea how it will go. Our professors is quite the trickster and can be very mean when it comes to tests and quizes.

On Wednesday I have my last and worst final, in histology. The class that everyone dreads. I'm getting a high C to low B in there so I am just hoping to pass the class, even if that means I get a D because I just want it to be over.

So Wednesday at noon I am a free woman. My first semester of dental school is finally over!

Yeah Rah

Things have been going so great for me lately. I think it all started with my last waxing practical. As easy as it may sound, making a tooth out of wax is a very difficult task. However two weeks ago I mastered the maxillary first molar. As my bench mates called it, I made the magic tooth. Mostly everyone either fails or passes by one or two points. I actually got on A on this tooth. yeah rah for me!

We also found out that we get the apartment we want. We were told we wouldn't be able to move until spring but now we actually get to move over break, and I have helpers- yeah rah!

One of my bench mates, and good friends from dental school won a free party at the lodge, a bar, downtown. So that is where I will be spending my Friday night. At a bar, not studying. Yeah Rah.

I emailed my gross anatomy teacher the other day to find out my final grade. I thought I was going to get my first C, but I didn't I got a B! This will really help my GPA because that class was worth 8 credits. Now I don't think I will be put on academic probabtion. Yeah Rah!

Only one week of classes left, and three days of finals. I am so happy to be done with this semester. Then it is Christmas, my most favorite time of year. Josh and I got almost all of our Christmas shopping done this week, and all the presents are wrapped and under our beautifully decorated tree. Yeah Rah!

I worked the day after and the Saturda after Thanksgiving and today is payday. Yeah rah!
