Too much.

It's Thursday night, and I'm struggling to stay awake. Thursdays are my least favorite day: They begin at 8am in physics lab and are full until 9:30pm, when I finish up anatomy lab. I'm usually pumped up for the weekends, but this one is different. I've got a big date...his name is Thesis. (Yes, my thesis is male, if you're curious to know why, just ask.) I'm drowning in things to do right now. Even though there will be an end, it's hard to imagine one now. I feel like every time I finish one task, there are three more popping up in exchange. And, my body feels so physically fatigued. One minute I'm in the cadaver lab, the next working on a quilt (that's right, a quilt), helping a high schooler with math, then reading some Faust. I have been horrible with communication too. I hate the go, go, go life. I prefer to take life in slowly, but it's not possible at the moment. I have to finish by May. But, I'm really really looking forward to the summer. Working ONE job, rather than 3, along with 18 credits. I look forward to narrowing my educational focus. Don't get me wrong, I still would like to take language courses and learn other things out of self-interest, but focus mainly on one thing. In the fall, this will be a reality. Either a physical therapy or neuroscience/german route. Both sound good to me. This is chaos; I'm a bit of a mess right now...

Rain rain go away...ready for spring!

Tuesday was my last "first day of school", here, in Oregon at least. I was accepted into the grad program at Chapman University, where I will pursue my DPT (doctor of physical therapy) in the fall. I also heard back this week from Fulbright, where I applied to do research for a year in Germany. I made it through round one, so at least I'm still in the running. We'll see...

Tonight is a dvd night, laying low as it's POURING outside. I definitely like the idea of moving back to the sunshine.

Here are some pics of what I've been up to the past month:


out with some friends...


Inga came home from Germany!


My oma made her first trip to Oregon.


We went to the beach.










Apparenly Elk like the beach too.
