Camping

We just got back from camping up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was a company function with Carquest. The weather was nice, but the nights were COLD! This morning I woke up to frost on the top of the tent. Cameron is taking a nice long nap, but I should probably wake him so he can go to bed tonight at a decent time. We weren't able to take Lucy with us as the campsite is a watershed so she hung out at Erin's. I work with her and she has a pomeranian named Gizmo. They had a great time together.

While we were hanging out at the fire last night the kids were walking around in the woods next to us when they came running back saying "Moose!" There were two female moose munching on the grass not too far away. We were told the day before by the camp host that there have been two moose in the mornings in the area where we had our tent. They were pretty to see, but I was very thankful that they stayed where they were and just minded their own business.

I have a quiz tomorrow in microbiology so I tried to study as much as you can study when camping. I didn't want to seem like a total loser hanging out in the tent for too long while the rest of the adults were hanging out, but I needed to read in the quiet.

We were supposed to camp this next weekend too up on Fairview, but I don't know if I really want to do it again so soon. I mean, I like camping and all, but it still is a bit cold in the mountains at night. We would be able to take Lucy next weekend, but I think I want to hang out at home. Perhaps Cameron and Michael will still go.

Well, off to finish cleaning my house and studying a little more. Shannon is picking up Cameron for me Monday and Wednesday night since I have school and Michael will be in Evanston working on a store. I have to get my house in order before she comes over.

A new semester

Well, today starts Summer semester. I attended my microbiology class today. I have to write a paper on a journal article. I haven't written a paper since 1991! I was a little freaking out about this during class. I am also taking an nutrition class online. I got home after my micro class and looked up my nutrition syllabus. I have to write 5 (FIVE) papers! Not cool! I am sure I will be visiting the writing lab at least a few times this semester. I had the opportunity last semester to write a paper if I wanted to bring a test score up. I was going to write it, but it was too overwhelming for me that I deleted it and said "Screw it!" I didn't write it and didn't need it, but now I am sort of wishing that I had done it just to say I have written one lately.

I will keep you all posted on my progress. I hope all goes as planned.

OH MY GOSH!!

I haven't been so good with updating my blog. I have been working on studying for my damn Biology final. I took it on Tuesday. That test was HARD! I don't know how I did on it, but I just checked my overall grade online and received a 4.0! I must have done pretty darn good on the final because I had a 92% before taking it and that wouldn't have given me a 4.0. Wahoo! I literally cried when I saw my grade. That class was hard.

Next I am taking Microbiology and Foundations of Nutrition. The nutrition class is online so hopefully it won't be too difficult. I also signed up for Fall semester. I didn't realize that you could sign up for classes already, but decided to look and see what they were offering and when. I am so glad that I did because the classes that I need were already filling up. So, in the Fall, I will be taking Chemistry and Anatomy. So not looking forward to Chemistry. I got a D in high school chemistry.

Not too much has been going on since I posted last. I am heading away this weekend and taking a few books with me. I haven't really read this year so I am hoping to finish two books while I am away. Reading biology isn't as fun as reading fiction.

Off to get Cameron ready for school! Have a great weekend!
