A Darn Good Show
K, so I thought that I'd share this for any of you looking for a good show to watch. "Chuck" on NBC is possibly one of my favorite shows. It's an action comedy that we watch here at work, and it's pretty much amazing. The 2nd season is winding down now (I think there's only one episode left), but it's well worth checking out on Surf the Channel or some such thing.
WANTED:
A cheap, fun hobby. I've decided I'm kind of a loser because of the fact that I don't do anything cool like scrapbooking or quilting. I would really love to pick up something like that, but I don't have basically any money. So if anybody out there knows of a hobby that I could pick up that doesn't require a big chunk of change every time you want to do it, let me know.

Tucker screams like a girl in his sleep
K, so this is quite a funny story.. at least it is for me and Tucker. Saturday morning I was woken up abruptly by Tucker "screaming". It wasn't quite a scream/yell, cause it was one perfect note. Actually, I didn't know if he was singing in his sleep or yelling, so I woke him up (it was about 4:30am), and we both had a good laugh about it because, apparently, he could hear himself.
He said that the reason for his yell was because of a scary dream that he was having. He blames the occurrence of the dream on the movie Poltergeist 3. In the dream, he had hit a crazy lady in the face, who then in turn told him that he would die in 24 hours. Later in the dream, Tucker falls off a tall building (this is where he screamed at).
So, the next time you see Tucker, you can have a good laugh at his expense because he screams like a girl who's singing. Hahahaha!!

Utah's weather is super dumb.....
I don't know how the weather is elsewhere, but the weather here in Utah is ridiculously spastic! It snowed a good 3 inches today.... it's the middle of April; this isn't supposed to happen anymore! Dumb....
In other news, the semester is winding down, and I am so ready for it to be done. Anatomy has totally burnt me out, and working up the motivation to go to class is really hard (and I fail on some occasions.... more often than I would like to admit). But I think that I'm doing well enough in the class so that I won't have to retake it, so that's good.
Tucker had a fairly frustrating past couple weeks, due mostly to one person in his group for his Product Development class. I've never heard Tucker complain so much.. it was kind of weird. But he's done with that class now, so he's relieved. And he's graduating in December!!!! Yay!! And then hopefully (if things go our way), he'll be starting his Master's in January. With any luck we'll be able to stay here so that I can finish up school as well. But we'll just get through the Bachelor's degree before we start freaking out about that stuff.
Um...... nothing else to report really. Hopefully I'll remember to post in a week (ish) to let you all know how finals go.

Birthday Week!!!
So I know I said before that I would update everyone (well... anyone who even reads this anymore) on how the 5k went, but school kind of took over until about 330 this afternoon. The 5k went about as well as I expected it to. And surprisingly, I actually enjoyed it. Of course, I walked about half of it seeing as I did no training whatsoever to get ready for it. I think I'll sign up to do another one though, and yes, I'm actually running now.... well, I haven't for about a week or so now because of a sore throat and some congestion. But I promise that once those clear up, I'll be back out there.
But yeah, as of wednesday, I am officially 22!! Gettin' up there; I know. I didn't expect the day to be all that great mostly because of the fact that I was going to be doing stuff constantly all day long, but the day actually went better than I had hoped. I forgot to set my alarm Tuesday night, so I woke up late which put me in a bad mood right off (but in reality I was really glad that I got to sleep in a little), and then I had my dumb anatomy lab for three hours (but I left early so I could get ready for Activity Day). Activity Day was at 330 that afternoon, and the sweet Primary president brought cupcakes for everyone and they sang me happy birthday. The activity itself was funner than I thought it would be; we "egged" the bishop's house, or in other words, we heart-attacked him with paper easter eggs. Then when I got to work that night, my friends had balloons, a whopper from Burger King, and a crazy weird birthday song waiting for me (they're pretty much the best co-workers/friends ever).
So all in all, my birthday was actually a good one. My parents sent me a movie I wanted and a couple cute shirts, and Tucker got a movie from them for his birthday too. We also got a flippin' awesome ice cream scoop from Katie and Shad, which I tested out, and it's pretty much amazing (thanks Katie!!!) My little sister Jenna though, she was definitely my favorite person this week. She brought me floors and an oreo pie on Tuesday night, Thursday she took me out to lunch at Chipotle (which we drove all the way to Sandy for), and Friday she and my brother Jeff to me to see BYU's rendition of Macbeth (which was set in Book of Mormon times........ yes, it was most definitely a horrible play. I give them props for trying though.. the acting just wasn't that good). Basically I love my little sister a ton!!
Well, I think that's about it for now. Oh, Tucker went on a campout last night with the teacher's in our ward (dumb, I know... it's still freezing cold outside here), and poor Tucker didn't take enough stuff to keep him warm, so he froze all night and didn't get any sleep at all. I'm just waiting for him to come home from school right now so that he can sleep the rest of today and tonight. Poor guy.

Tomorrow's going to be one heck of a day
Tomorrow's date is March 14th, for those of you oblivious to calendars, and as the title of this post suggests..... it's going to be insane, or maybe I'll just be insane.
My midterm for my anatomy lab starts tomorrow at 8am and closes at 5pm (I can show up anytime during those hours to take the test). I think I'll do ok on the test, but honestly, I feel like I should have been reviewing everything I've learned this far for the past three weeks. There's just so much information, that I don't think I'll be able to remember it all. And while this test won't be horrible, it'll be bad enough to make me not want to do anything else all day, but lucky me, I have some anatomy homework that needs to get done this weekend........ stupid, never-ending class.
But yeah, while I'm stressing a little about this test, the thing that I'm stressing the most about for tomorrow is this 5k that I'm running. That's right folks, I'm 'running' a 5k. And this race starts at 9am... pretty much it cuts into valuable midterm taking time. But the thing is, nearly all of the anatomy students will be participating in this race due to the fact that we can get some serious extra credit points for doing it. Basically, if we register for the race we get 10 points. If we actually show up and run the race, we get 15 points. And if we run the race and beat our professor (who is running it), we get 20 points. That's HUGE!!! Especially when the only other way is to take a quiz every week that you can only miss one on for a grand total of one point extra credit per quiz (sucks, I know, though it sucks more when you miss two questions).
So my strategy for tomorrow is to show up, survive the 5k (because honestly, I haven't been running in months), and then drag myself over to the anatomy lab to take this beast of a test. I really must be stupid for doing this, but hey, I get a shirt for doing the 5k, so that's pretty cool. Anywho, wish me luck, and I'll report back on how tomorrow's events go for you probably next week sometime.
