Oh right, I have a blog.

Wow, this semester has been kicking my butt.  It's been a while since I was here.

I think the most important thing I have to say is that I am about to be on SPRING BREAK!  If you were here you would know that just saying those two words the clouds break and the choirs of angels trumpet joyous songs from the heavens.  We are all so drained.  I skipped a class today (don't judge me, all the notes are online!) so I could shower.  Because I couldn't last night or this morning due to a school project (okay, it was extra credit, but I got to do whatever I wanted so I made a quilt--on my beautiful 73 year old sewing machine, thank you Janet!!--and it felt soooo good to use the other half of my brain).  Actually, this is kind of cool--our cardiac physiology prof granted us 15 points for an artistic representation of what we'd learned.  So I made a quilt of an ECG, I saw several paintings, crossword puzzles, a pipe cleaner heart complete with construction paper vessels and my personal favorite, cake.  It was amazing--they had a heart shaped cake and a lung cake and a liver cake and two kidney cakes, with lines connecting them to show the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which responds to changes in blood pressure.  I really hope we get to eat it tomorrow.  Now that is what I call sweetmeats.

Where was I?  Right.  Break.  I'll be home Friday night and around until Sunday the 21st, hanging out with my dogs because my parents went to Maui without me.  It's okay Mom and Dad, I'll be fine and I still love you (maybe, depending on what you bring me).  I will, however, be trucking home several tons of textbooks and trying to cram for the next round of five exams after spring break.  YAY!  Please, if you are around, give me a reason not to study.  Also: I would be calling you all and notifying you of my presence (at high decibels) except that I left my phone in Eli's truck so it got back to Poulsbo a week before I did...helpful.  Email is the only form of communication I have right now.

This has not been an inspired update but I am really tired and I think I'll go take a nap now.  More later, after I haven't been in class for a day or two and can resume a normal sleep schedule.
