Bowling Fun

Thursday night was a blast! As a Bio-Sci Scholar event we went bowling. Talk about a great deal. Pizza and 3 hours of unlimited bowling, all for $3. It was a great amount of fun. If I get Leah's pictures I'll definitely have to post them on here. Bowling was a great way to unwind and just have fun on a Thursday night. Not to mention, I've NEVER done this well at bowling before. 3 of the games I played I got OVER a 100!!! That never happens to me! I barely make it over 60 usually, and can't remember the last time I broke 100 (something makes me think there were bumpers involved). It was wonderful. We set up in our 2 lanes a bit of guys vs girls... Dave, Pat, and Mark, against Leah, Kelli, and myself. Awesome. And I was surprised how late our advisor stayed. Bowling started around 9:30, and he was there well after 11:00. We stayed until 12:30 (obviously with 3 hours to bowl!!). My arm hurt so badly when we were done!

Then Dave's parents came into town on Saturday. We apartment looking, and then headed over to Jon and Rachel's place to meet his parents. For dinner we went to Bucca de Bepo. MMMMMMmmmm..... Mr. & Mrs. Henry, and Dave had never been. We got TONS of food. And it was all delicious. And so much fun. My family will have to go there sometime too! (I know we almost did a few weeks ago). I'm glad I got a nice break for a weekend. Now it's time to work. But I don't mind.

All better

Fortunately I started feeling better by Wednesday last week. In case you were curious. Not too much to report. I have a Psych midterm this Wednesday, and am freaking out only a little about it. I just want it to be over and give me a week without midterms to... not relax, but have enough time to study Ochem!!! (Oh the joys of being a science major).

I had a wonderful weekend. Dave and I celebrated our anniversary/Valentine's Day this weekend. We went to Mongolian BBQ. MMMMMMMMmmmm... It was wonderful. We hadn't been there since our first date, 2 years ago! I can't believe we've been dating for 2 years! Well, I can and I can't. He also bought me a pair of diamond earings. They're very pretty, but when are diamond's NOT very pretty? I bought him some Ice Wine from Geneva. It's supposed to be wonderful, but we were so full Saturday night we didn't want to waste it. So maybe we'll wait to try it on Valentine's Day. That seems fairly appropriate.

That's really it for me today. Apartment searching is still continuing, we've at least narrowed down the area. So that's good. Time to study... and go to class... and go to the lab...

Sick... yuck

So much for feeling better. Monday morning I woke up not feeling well. I almost passed out in the morning! Because I had a midterm at 3:30 in the afternoon I decided to try and feel better before then. I didn't feel sick for about 4 hours so I decided to go to my 11:30 class. I walked in about 15 minutes late. Then in the middle of class I almost fainted again. So I left class and called Dave. He had told me if I wasn't feeling better to call him, he'd come and get me. It was very nice of him to come and pick me up. Then he stayed with me and made me something to eat. I was feeling better by 3, so Dave drove me to my midterm. My stomach has been turning, but I never got sick. And I've been able to eat... so that's good. On a separate note, the midterm was VERY hard. Completely different than what he was saying. So I'm a little angry about that. But what can you do? So that's that. Hopefully I won't feel sick today. And now it's time to get ready for Ochem lab. Fun fun.

So busy... and it never seems to end!

This quarter has been so busy! My midterms spaced out perfectly assuring that I will only get 1 week this quarter without a midterm. CRAZY!! I have Physics monday, and then actually don't have another midterm until the following Wednesday... which will recycle the midterm schedule. Oh well, at least a lot of my classes aren't cumulative.

To respond about if my OChem midterm was good or bad... that's kind of in the air. Overall, yes I can't complain. I got a 90% on the test. So it was good. Why am I not so enthusastic? I got a 270/300. The class average was a 248/300, and the median was a 265/300. 97/232 students got an A on the test, and 5 more students got a 100%. My professor said he didn't think that the test was any easier than his tests have been the past 15 years, and that he didn't think they graded us easy. We just have a really smart class. Which is good and all, except that means no curve. Now I was still very happy about my test and my grade, until I got my test back. I made so many stupid mistakes!! I could have gotten a 96% without the stupid mistakes! BUT, an A is an A... I just hope I can possibly bring it from an A- to an A... but the curve will not be there to give me that 2% push.

Well, I should get back to studying Physics. Fortunately this weekend I got caught up on sleep. I've had a cold, probably from all the days last week where I didn't get a full night sleep. Two days of 11 hours of sleep, and now I'm feeling better. YAY!
