Fight Like A Girl

With school being so hard lately, I have this one song that I seem to be belting out in the car more than others. I can just hear my own mom telling me these samne exact words. I think this song got me through some pretty rough times these past few weeks. Here is the music video. Enjoy.

Home Sweet Home

I remember when all I wanted was to be out of the house and in college. I'm starting to feel a little different. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE mizzou and I love going to school knowing that in the end I will have something that I want, a college degree. I'll be able to go off and do something that I will enjoy...hopefully :) It is that lately school has been kicking my toosh! Anatomy is flippin ridiculous. Between cadavers, skeletons, microscope slides, and everything in between it is slowly but surely defeating me. I am trying SO hard to stay afloat and get through this class. I actually really love the stuff I am learning when I actually get it. I mean, I could tell you everything there is to know about you ulna and radius and how they attach to the capitulum and trachea of the humerus. I like knowing that stuff and I like explaining it to people. But man, learning the stuff is crazy. Along with that there is medical terminology (why can't we all just speak in one language!) which isn't too bad, just a lot of memorizing. Add those to chemistry and ultrasound, my load is pretty heavy. And it is only 14 hours! But I can do it. I just wish I was going to be home longer. With school being so tough lately, it has been wonderful being able to be at home. Lay in my own bed, my freshly clean clothes smell like home, playing and snuggling with my doggies. There is just something about home that will never get old. Unfortunately, it is back to Columbia tomorrow for the Desperate Housewives premiere along with lots of studying.

This Saturday was the fist home game for the Missouri Tigers. We played Bowling Green and beat them 27-20. It was a close game especially since everyone thought we were going to beat them by so much! It was the first football game that I actually got to go to with friends since last year I had to work every single game! It was lots of fun! This year we got a new score board and boy was it loud! Mizzou officially has the largest scoreboard in the Big 12! My dad and Sue came down for the game and we hiked all the play from AV-14 (parking lot in the middle of no where). My dad was a trooper walking all that way!

This week is going to be a tough one for me. I have a chemistry mid-term on Monday, medical terminology test on Tuesday and an anatomy test on Friday! It makes me tired just thinking about it! Speaking of that, I better get to studying!

Hugs!

I thought tonight that I should prob update my blog but now that I am sitting here in bed, I can't come up with anything to write about. Drama in the house is over, for the most part. Shelby paid Nick, Nick is still a little bitter, but at least it is over now.

I am having such a horrible time with the coupons. I pick all the ones out that I think I may want and make my list but when I get to the store, I find things that are cheaper even if I did use the coupon. And obviously I don't want to spend more money just so I can use a coupon, that would be silly. So I am going to keep cutting coupons in hope that I will get the hand of it. I am determined!

School is so difficult this year. I can't not keep all these medical terms strait. From gastroduodenostomy to acromegaly, they are all starting to run together. I am hoping that making some flash cards will help. Anatomy is ridiculous too. Who knew that a pollex was a thumb or that hollex was your big toe? ahh..the joy of health professions. It will all still be worth it though, right? right.

This post wasn't very long but before I bring it to a close I would like to say one more thing.
Mrs. S- I am so sorry for everything that you have been going through. I have been wanting to comment on your blog for a while now but never knew what exactly I wanted to say. Just know, you and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers. I hope things get better!

I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend. Mine was spent going through a ridiculous amount of clothes my mom brought down to me. Sometimes I miss living at home. Always having someone waiting for me to come home, my mom tucking me in at night, my two little dogs that are always able to cheer me up. I miss home. Well that is all for now. First MU home game this Saturday. Looking forward to it SO much!

Night y'all!
