Wicked

Image
My brothers girlfriend bought tickets for the 2 of us to see Wicked (the musical) in San Francisco, for my bithday. It was so much fun. The show was amazing. I want to go again. The set was beautiful, the songs were great. the actors were talented. Glinda was hillarious, and the woman playing Elphaba was an amazing singer. The chorus was great. The whole show was just awesome. Our seats were great (7th row)We had a good dinner with Clam chowder and seafood alfredo at the Market Street Grill accross the street from the Orphium. We got lost on our way back to my house but it was funny instead of frustrating. We stopped at 7-11 and both admitted to having the urge to tell the random customers in the store that we had just seen Wicked. It was a great experience. and I hope to see the play again before it leaves SF. Sanity levels are all over the place this week. I have been sick and exhausted, and excited and happy, anxious because the dentist had to come in our class and examine u...

New Course, New frustrations

I have moved on to my second course in school and it is so technical. I need to study so much harder and pay much closer attention. We have to bring in our own patients and everyone is having trouble with that task. Our first clinic day was nuts. I had fun working in the sterile area for most of the day. My mom, Steve and Kayla were all seen so they can be patients for the rest of my time in school. I am frustrated with myself right now because of school. I have still been doing well, but not as good as beofre. I need to get my butt in gear if I am going to meet my goal of 4.0 every course. I already lost my first goal of getting 100% on all of the spelling tests for the course. and I won't get perfect attendance either because of a major accident on 580 before tracy that made me miss half of a day. So no star pins for my name badge this course either. One good thing about school right now is that I am making friends. I feel comfortable with everyone in class and even feel like I ...

Tempted

I finished reading Tempted by Kristen and P.C. Cast. It is the latest installment from the House of Night Series. The series is geared towards young adults, which I like to read because they are easy and fast. Or as I like to call them Quick and Dirty! It was a good read and took some interesting turns in the story line. The complaint I have is that I have been waiting months to get my hands on this book and it seemed so short. There is obviously a new book in the works, but I wanted more. After that long wait I was a little disappointed that the book only covered a few days. Besides that it was what I expected. The writing isn't the best, but I knew that going in. If you like vampires (or vampyres - as they are called in this book) and easy reading - young adult books, then I recommend you pick up Marked which is the first book in the series.

For my mom

Happy Birthday Mom. If I wasn't broke I would buy this painting for you because it reminds me of you and I know you would love it. I hope you have a wonderful tomorrow - and no this is not an excuse not to call you on your birthday!! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39397045 this is a link to the painting (since I used the photo - I thought I should provide access to the page where it is available for purchase.

The Lost Symbol

I finished reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. It was pretty good. It was fast paced, but then it would skip to another part of the story. It wouldn't be so bad in a movie, but I found myself wanting to skip over parts to get back to the subject I was already reading about. I didn't of course, but I wanted to. If you have read the other books in the Robert Langdon series you will probably enjoy this book as well. It is based on some masonic legends. Steve read the book as well and as a mason he said it is entertaining and thought provoking. We had a few discussions about the main idea of the book and how our opinions on the subject differed. It was nice to have our own little discussion group about the book. I am currently reading American on Purpose, by Craig Ferguson. If you are a fan of his late, late show I suggest you pick this one up. Even if you aren'T a fan, or if you have never heard of him I still suggest it. It's an autobiography, and he has had an interest...

First term is over

Image
I finished my first term at school. I got a 97% on my final. for a total of 101% in my lecture class, and an 85% in my lab class. I was annoyed at the B until I found out that no one got an A. My total grade is a 96%, which is a 4.0. I am so proud of myself. I worked really hard and did my best which was hard at times. I am going to continue working hard, and pushing myself. My new goals for this course are: -get perfect attendance -get perfect spelling/terminology scores -raise my lab grade -score high on my final again This is for my sister: On the list of things I love I mentioned my family, but I did not directly mention my sister. I Love my sister for many reasons. One of which is that she mentioned that I did not mention her directly on my list. I love that we can say 2 words to eachother and crack up about it and no one else will understand - bean hole! My sister was not always my best friend, but I could not live without her now. I need to talk to her AT LEAST every other day i...

I think I figured it out.
