I'm sitting at the front desk on duty and I figured this might be a good time to update!
Life is good. School's not bad yet (well, let's see how I feel when I'm tested on 126 bones on Tuesday...) and the workload is managable!
Equestrian Team meetings start again next week and then lessons the week after. I can't wait!
Things with Seth have been amazing. We've been together over a month now, and it can't be better. Last weekend I was at his place and I ended up with a really awful 24 hour bug. Well, he took care of me the entire night and then ended up getting sick himself! But he was so sweet about it... it's just stuff like that that makes me smile! He visited me last night and we had a really nice time.
I miss my family... Hana got braces! I'm not jealous at all... been there, done that! I always stuck with "tooth-colored" band colors because I didn't really want them noticed, but Hana went with hot pink and black for her colors... SO typical for her!
I wish I had more exciting news. Steve and I are still awaiting news on the apartment. The landlord said we would know by the end of the month... which is coming up very shortly! So I'm expecting news within the following week.
Oh, RIP Heath Ledger. How tragic - and such a good actor, too. I remember first seeing him in "10 Things I Hate About You" and thinking that he had so much potential. :(
Ah, I'd hate to end on a sad note... let's think of something good... oh! I went to Compadres the other night... and saw my favorite waiter, Victor. I had a ridiculous crush on him last year (yes, it's because he's Mexican), and when he first waited on Jaime and me, he found out I spoke a little Spanish and that's all we talk in now. It's very broken on my part, but for some reason he now thinks I'm fluent. Haha... well, it was good seeing him the other night, even though Steve and Travis looked like they had no idea what was going on. *sigh* Victor just adds to my Compadres experience! ;) No worries, Seth...
Okay, that's all for now. I'm so tired and will most likely go to bed after sitting desk. Goodnight!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Time for the updates!
New Year's Eve was lots of fun... I was at Erin's house and saw good friends and had so much fun bringing in the new year. Welcome, 2008!
New Year's Day, I had three friends from SRU come stay with me for five days. They're all international, and they did a lot over winter break, and part of their break was staying with me! Yoona is from South Korea, Karan is from India, and Karen is from the Netherlands. We had an amazing time. They met a lot of my friends when we went bowling and had a game night, and I showed them all around Pittsburgh (Science Center, Strip District, South Side, Incline, Ice skating at PPG Place, Warhol Museum). It was a VERY busy five days, but it was so worth it. It was great!
My sister turned 12 on January 2nd. I can't believe that she only has one year till she's 13!! I just can't believe it...
Steve and I came back to SRU just for the day on Wednesday to look at the apartment we want next year. We'll find out at the end of the month if we have it! It's the basement of a family's house, and it's so perfect. I'll elaborate more if I find out we have it! Cross your fingers for us!
Seth and I have become official. Things with him are wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. I feel very lucky to be with him (people who know him/the story know why!) and I have a very good feeling about this! I really do. :-)
I came back to school on Saturday. It was hard for me to leave because I had such an amazing winter break with my family, friends, and Seth. I miss everyone so much, but it's also been nice seeing everyone again.
Well, almost everyone. I wasn't TOO excited to see some of my residents, but whatEV - one more semester of this... I can deal with it! It was good to see my staff and to start up classes today. I actually had all of them, since I only have my A & P lab on Tuesday mornings and no Thursday classes. So here's my predictions for them!
Child and Adolescent Development - I'm really excited for this course. Since I want to go into Maternal and Child Health, learning about all of this is so interesting to me. I'm really looking forward to it.
Intro. to Study of Disease - This is going to be tough. It's all about the pathology of diseases and it gets very indepth. But again, it's interesting to me and it's going to be very practical in my field.
Anatomy and Physiology 2 - This is probably going to be my hardest course. The good news is, my professor seems extremely nice and willing to help. He understands that the course material is tough, but he has a passion for teaching and a passion for A & P, and I'm hoping that some of that rubs off on me!
Biostatistics - Another toughie. But it's kind of a continuation of Data Management, so hopefully I'll do alright in it.
There's definitely positives to my schedule. My last three courses are going to be hard, but I have good friends in all of them. So I know we'll be there to support each other! All of my professors seem really cool and I'm just hoping for a great semester.
Tonight I had dinner with Karan and Karen, and I think I'll just take it easy because I have a wonderful 8 am A &P lab tomorrow. Wish me luck!
