What's Going On

It has been a little bit since I last posted. Last week was crazy busy with school work. I did do pretty good on the three tests I took 2 weeks ago. I really think that taking a nutrition test, an A&P test and a chemistry test all on the same day was a bit crazy. I think next time I will try to space it out a bit. I was on call that week, though, and I didnt want to get disturbed while testing so the Saturday date did work better. I had an Algebra test last week and that went pretty good as well. I did have a minor meltdown last Sunday night trying to get my chemistry homework done. Note to self, do not put off chemistry homework until the last minute!!! It is hard to believe that the semester is almost halfway over. WOW!!! I have got to get my nursing school application turned in soon. I guess I could have already turned it in, but I wanted to wait and be sure that I was going to do OK in my prerequisite classes and that doing them online was really going to work for me. I lucked up about a week ago and got ahold of a small computer desk that someone was giving away, so now I have a little office area set up in the corner of my bedroom and that is working out much better than trying to do homework at the kitchen table. Right now, I am sitting here with my dog in my lap, and that is the best part of doing homework at home. I had a chemistry lab today, and took a quiz there that went pretty well. The funny thing was, when my alarm went off this morning, I was so tired that at first I didnt know what day it was, so I didnt know if I had to go to work or school!! My son's football team is still going strong, so far we are 6-0 for the season, with our biggest challenge (Bolivar) coming up this Friday. And we are playing it in Bolivar. It does promise to be a good game. Next Saturday is College Day at MSU, so I guess we are going to that as well, and get to watch a Bears game as part of the college experience.. My older son has taken up bow hunting this year, and he is going to go out in the morning to hunt, so I hope he has good luck. He can take a deer or a turkey with his bow this time of year, and either one would be welcome in my freezer. I have been watching him practice and he is really good at it!! We all also went to the firing range today for a little practice with the rifles before season next month. A little rusty at shooting but not too bad. It was a beautiful day to be outside enjoying nature. My garden is still producing tomatoes, bell peppers and tabasco peppers, but I suppose it wont be long until the first freeze and then that will be it until next spring. Then I will have to get out there and get the garden ready to go to sleep for the winter. I think the hummingbirds have all flown south for the winter, I havent seen any in a few days, but I still have the feeder up in case there are any stragglers still out there. I do have a huge spider web with a very large spider in it on the front porch. It looks really cool early in the morning with the dew and the early light. I will have to try to get a picture and maybe try to upload it. I got a new phone (smart phone!) and I am still trying to decide if I am smarter than my smart phone! Oh the joys of learning new technology. Just about the time I get it figured out, something new will come along. Well, that is what is going on for now, and I will try to post again soon. Hello to Ms. Anthony if you are still reading my blog!
