Whoa, whoa! It's Been Way Too Long!

It took me getting a very pleasant, and surprising phone call last weekend from George, to remind me that I need to update this thing! Man o man! The last time I posted an entry was in November.

So let's begin with the month of December:
--I finished up my first quarter back at school, yes, the colleges are on a quarter system here in the NW, and I had no idea how quickly it would fly by. For my first classes since 2005, I decided to get spicy with a little of college level chemistry (w/o a lab)* and introductory to conceptual physics. Yep folks, I took those classes and didn't quite receive the GPA I was hoping for (i.e. not a 4.0), but learned enough to feel good about my overall foundation to this new career path I've chosen for myself.
*for those of you who don't remember, this is the kind of basic level science course that doesn't really count towards a degree, it's sort of a introductory class for kids that might be interested in pursuing a career that involves chemistry
---Christmas came and went with me moving out of a house that I'd been living in since I first moved out here (shed a tear) to a new house with two less people and an additional dog! ha! I now live with a gal and her two boxer pups who are oh sooo cute and fortunately, get along great with my little pupster, the "Tobester" (Toby).

Which brings us to January:
--I began my second quarter of school with the first (of a three part series) college level chemistry (w/ a lab) and an introductory to genetics class. Let me say, I'm remembering very well, why I chose to pursue a business degree the first time I went to college. Can you guess which class is my weakness? Let me start by telling everyone how much I LOVE, YES LOVE, my genetics class. I've learned so much about how our genes determine so much about how we live our daily lives and also confirmed my strong beliefs that we are all incredible machines that were built to run so smoothly, and idiot could make it work! Ha! I won't talk about chemistry b/c it doesn't make me happy; fingers crossed, it will someday, hopefully someday very very soon.

---the last week of January the dynamic duo of Nate and Sherry came to visit and I got to be a tourist in the city of Seattle. If you can't tell, I was trying really hard to a jellyfish the day we went to the aquarium. It was such a great activity to do since it was sorta gloomy outside that day. Surprisingly, the rest of the week that Nate and Sherry were in town, it was clear blue skies. I was super stoked to have them visit and was glad they stopped in on their way to pursue exciting adventures in foreign lands.

I will have write about February and March later this month. Final exams are next week (one of my finals is worth a whopping 30% of my overall grade) so I've been studying all week and will be this weekend. Writing this entry has been a nice study break, but it's back to the tables for my brain to feel like mush!

Until next time! Oh and for those of you that have been checking back every now and then, I'm so so sorry for not keeping up with thing, please know, you can always call to catch up, too.
