over the last 4 nights, i’ve “slept” at most 8 hours, and here i am on night 5, still awake. i wrote the following haiku to put things in perspective. enjoy.
i can’t sleep again
bored looking at the ceiling
insomnia sucks
quick update… vacations are done, reunion is over, and everyone is back in nebraska. we have an added bonus with us too. samantha, amy’s sister, moved from pennsylvania to nebraska and is living with us.
the trip back was fun and the boys did great. we camped at several koa kampgrounds and had much fun. i will try to get some pictures posted over the next week. that is all.
it has been awhile since i/we have posted. things have been busy/boring. amy and the boys left to visit her family in the middle of june. i have been a bachelor ever since. being a bachelor was nice for ~ the first week, after that it became very boring. i miss my family. luckily, i will be catching a plane to go see them. yay! looking forward to seeing my family and then getting back home and finding some sort of routine again.

I finished finals last week with a few comfortable A’s and one “by the skin of my teeth” A.
Pharmacology, for those of you that have not had this blessed experience, is a tough class. Basically, pure memorization. For someone like me who prefers to see how things work, this type of class is much harder than, say, A&P where you can visualize muscles moving like levers, food being broken down through the digestive tract and so on.
I went into my final test with a 91.15 (a 92% is an A and they do not round). I studied my butt off, got a 96% which brought my overall up to 91.89. My first B+ since I started back to school? Lucky for me, if less than 30% of the class gets a question right, we get the points back. So, thank you to all of you that missed the same 2 questions, giving me 4 points for a 100% on the test and an overall grade of 92.33%!!! It may not be the best way to end up with an A but all things considered, I’ll take it and be happy with it.
another quiz came across on one of my feeds… here is my result… what do you think?
The Big Fat <What Would Your Dream Job Be?> Quiz
Medical
Includes: pharmacist, doctor/ pediatrician, veterinarian, nurse, chiropractor/ massage therapist, dentist/ optometrist, psychologist
You are caring, dedicated, and an intellectual. Your negative traits may be your tendancy to over-work yourself, put career before family, or be unhumorous. You’d be perfect for a job in a medical career because you are interested in discoveries, have genuine interest in people, and can apply yourself.
