Happy New Year!

My first post of the new year! Nevermind the fact that its February.

Life...life...life...is complicated. Things were simpler before December. Simpler before Monday.

My jamba store closed in December and I was very very sad. I loved coming to work. My co-workers were awesome, manager was super-chill, we were winning a promotion...life was good.
Oh yeah, we were barely making any money...but thats beside the point. I had the best job.
So we were closed the 22nd with no warning really. It was a sad day.

So I got transferred about a month ago to this high volume store not too far from where I go to school. Its been a huuuuuge adjustment. I like rain for even more reasons now.

School started Monday. I was taking 17 units, but I was overwhelmed by the amount of hw I had just that first day and dropped my 5 unit class. Now I'm down to the obligatory 12 units.
I like all my classes so far.

I got some bad news Monday night. My life...my family is going to be dramatically changed by this...but I have peace. I made a conscious decision to give all of this to God. I trust that he can handle it.

There have been good things this year. On Tuesday my old Human Anatomy teacher asked my friend and I if we wanted to housesit for her while she teaches field school over spring break.

It rained...and I love the rain. I went for a 45 min walk in the rain and loved every minute of it.

You only live once.

Worthless.

I am liar. I keep saying that I'll blog more, but I never seem to find anything worth saying.
This blog is worthless...but its okay!

So, yes. This isn't really worth saying...but its funny.

So I get hypnogogic (before I fall asleep) hallucinations when I'm too stressed and/or not getting enough sleep. Usually it involves a giant spider, or some crustacean. One time there was a jelly fish.
So last night, I was a little stressed about my last anatomy practical exam that was today. It was on the Urinary, Reproductive and Nervous systems.

I hallucinated about a green embryonic brain. It had eyes too. I apparently screamed really loud. My mom said that I kept repeating, "Its enormous!" over and over again and pointing in the general direction.

Human Anatomy is hazardous to your mental health.

Today I saw (hopefully) my last cadaver (at least for a little while)! I will not miss the smell. I am however grateful to the people who donated their bodies so that I could learn. It really does wonders to be able to see how everything is put together. Sure, I'm not so happy when I'm attempting to ID some random blood vessel in the body and accidentally take a deep breath....but really.
(Sorry, Fred) Models can only teach you so much.

I really can't wait until Tuesday. I feel like just passing this class is a huge accomplishment!
