Only 3 weeks until Spring Break....

Oh, only 21 days until Spring Break- where I will be with my favorite girlfriends on the beach in the warm North Carolina sunshine... it could not come soon enough! School is getting more hectic, with exam week coming up, and the spring semester always seems to fly by.

This weekend was a much needed break- I worked early on Saturday morning, was off by 3 and spent the night in Columbia with Janet and Brian roaming around from house to house to Chipotle then eventually to my house to show them Abbey- they, of course, fell in love with the adorable bundle of fur as we all have.

I had Sunday off so I went home and the fam and I went up to Baltimore to see the BodyWorlds exhibit- where they display actual human bodies that have been "plasticized" to show muscle, bones, tendons and all that good stuff. Dad and I were very stoked to go- Mom and Rache needed a little more convincing though. I think we all enjoyed it- I wish I could have spent the day in there just reading everything and looking at all of the models! It was amazing to see how far technology has become to be able to get to see these bodies. Below are a couple of examples from the exhibit- sadly, photography was prohibited so I got these from the web. The first picture is my favorite- the body is holding his own skin!





Today was spent working out, going to class and then I spent about an hour or so filling out volunteer applications for a variety of different hospitals in the area. Tonight will consist of reading for class and then spending some time with the roomie and her boyfriend.

I think that's it! I'll update soon!

Fuzzzzzz Face

Can you believe she's only 5 months old?!?!

Yes, I am still alive!

Hello Hello! I began to feel guilty about not blogging very often, so I'm going to try and do it more often (I'm even making blogspot my homepage so I'll almost be forced to update more often).

Here's what's been going on in my busy life:

Work and School.

That pretty much sums it up, however boring it may be. School started in late January and it's starting to get down to the nitty gritty already, with my first exam on Wednesday (yikes!). This semester, I get the pleasure of taking Biology, Biomechanics, Genetics in Physical Activity, Graded Exercise Testing and Weight Lifting. It will certainly be a semester full of studying! Speaking of school, my plans for after graduation have taken a change, instead of applying to physcial therapy school in the fall, I will most likely be applying to the U of San Fran for Nursing. It was an option brought up by my Dad that makes a lot of sense- I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier! So get ready all you west coast kirkwoods and brotzels... i'm heading back west!

As for work, it's well...work. It certainly has lost its luster after two and a half years- but the pay is good so it's worth sticking to for my last year here. Wow that's scary! After this semester I will only have 2 semesters left until graduation! Yikes! Scary thoughts....

Janet, Brian and Chris are all doing well- we've pretty much gotten addicted to Guitar Hero- I still can't seem to beat Brian- he's moved onto the expert level now... but now that we have it at home, I can go home and practice and also get my Abbey fix at the same time!

Abbey is doing well- she's still very much a puppy- even though she might not look like it! Her favorite activity at the moment is finding Rachel's shoes (and rachel's shoes alone) and chewing them. Here are two recent pictures of her (about a month ago?) believe it or not, she's actually grown since then! She weighs 41 lbs now, which makes her bigger than Shelby ever was. Ok well for some reason it won't let me put the pictures up, but I'll try again next time-

Ok well I think that covers pretty much everything right now- look for another post soon!
