Back to School

Today was the first day of school and it started quite well. This morning I had Biochemistry, Physics, and Theories of Personality. This afternoon I had band and then in about 45 minutes I have a meeting to go to for an orginization I took on a leadership position in (I'll let you know how it goes). Then tonight hopfully I will be watching the movie on the lawn and then possibly shopping at Target. Tomorrow I have Tennis, German, and Physics lab. Friday we don't have classes due to Staff/Faculty convocation. I love having 3 day weekends just after school starts!

The school year has barely started and I'm already wonderfully overwhelmed :)

Bye for now!

A few other blogs to check out

Here are the blogs I promised. The first is a blog from a lebanon resident and the second is a compilation of several people in northern israel. I have also added links to several wikipedia articles regarding the situation in the middle east.

Nearing end of summer

It has been a while since my last post and for that I apologize.

Summer has proceeded at a wonderful pace. I have spent the majority of it working at Essential Industries in Merton, WI.

The past two weeks I spent in Germany and Holland and it was thus far the highlight of my summer. If you ever make it to Cologne, Germany walking up to the top of the Cologne Dome is the most amazing and awesome thing I have done in a very long time. The view is georgous and well worth the painful hike up.

A ceasefire was finally declared between Lebanon and Israel and I think it is well past time for this. I have found a few blogs that I think are terribly interesting reading regarding the conflict. I will post them tomorrow or the day after for further reading.

End of the Semester!!!

It is finally over! I turned in the last paper tonight at 7:00 pm. It really feels wonderful not to have any obligations and to truly be able to relax!

The ER

Spending my evening in the ER was probably one of the coolest things I have done in a very long time! It was great! Hopfully I'll be able to do this sort of thing again and soon! Have a great evening all!

Emergency Room!

Tomorrow I get to shadow Dr. Boris Beckert in the emergency room! I am terribly excited about it and can't wait! I am not, however, allowed to discuss anything I see in the emergency room so my excitement will have to be held in and not shared with all of you.

On a different note I am going to the Twins game tonight with my grandparents and an aunt and a cousin I believe. I am also pretty excited about that as I don't get to see my grandparents more than once or twice a year.

I still have two finals and two papers to finish up with before I'm done for the semester. Classes ended today which I am thrilled about!

I also really would like to catch the body worlds exhibit at the science museum before I head home for the summer!

Lots of things coming up and lots to do before I am done with the semester but the end is in sight!

Summer is almost here!

Well the countdown has begun - really it started a while ago but that's ok. I have 1 presentation tomorrow, one paper due soon, exam next Wednesday, Honors day Thursday, and two finals left! I go home to Waukesha on the 20th so you can catch me there then. I am terribly excited about the prospect of summer being here again. I am also excited to hopfully ride ambulances this summer and work at Essential again and spend time with all of my friends and family back home! I get to spend 10 days in Europe at the beginning of August. Lots of things to fill my summer and I continue to become more and more excited!

On a very different note I am thinking of starting some sort of Hamline Pre-med students program where we would be able to work at a free clinic somewhere around here to get experience etc. It is in the thought processes right now.

Getting close to the end

The semester is winding down and life is getting busier and busier. I have two exams, one paper, one oral presentation, and two finals left before the school year is over. The last day of finals for me is May 16th. I am anticipating the end very much. This summer I'll be going back to Waukesha and working and hanging with my family and friends. This is the hardest time of year for me because it is so georgous outside and who wants to be inside studying when they could be outside in the georgous weather! But here I am, sitting inside doing my homework and studying. I hope your spring is just as georgous as mine.
