Just Life

Not much exciting has really happened since Spencer's birthday, but I figured I should put a post up anyway. School has been going pretty well. This semester has had a lot of ups and downs. Like, Thursday through Sundays are up and Mondays to Wednesdays are down. Every week. My mammalogy lab quizzes are every Wednesday afternoon. I typically spend about 5 or 6 hours between Monday and Wednesday studying for them and I still go into them just hoping I won't fail. And by fail, I mean get less than a C. Sometimes I get Cs on them. But life goes on. The quiz comes and goes, and then I get to relax a little bit even if it didn't go super well. Good news though! Only 2 more quizzes and the lab final to go! Whooohooo!

Spencer had a couple of exams over the last week, and I've been working on papers and things. We've just been plugging along. School's almost wrapping up now. I have 3 papers to write over the next few weeks. I have a good start on one of them though. Then just a couple more midterms and finals! Is it strange that I actually like finals week? It's so much easier to study for tests when you don't have new material in every class and homework and quizzes to prepare for. Plus, I think I'll just have 2 finals during finals week this semester, and one of them is take-home! Plus, The Hobbit part 2 is coming out at the end of finals week!!

AnnaMarie invited us to go down to Arizona for Thanksgiving with them. That would be a lot of fun, and we're gonna check with our bosses to see if we can manage it. Spencer's grandpa is turning 80 in December, so they want to have a big party for him. His aunt works (worked?) for an airline, so she can fly standby almost for free. She's gonna fly down to Salt Lake and take us with her (so we can fly for almost free) back to Washington the first weekend in December. Hopefully we'll be able to get onto a flight and go. So, we have a couple of potential trips to look forward to. :) Then there's Christmas break, James and Miranda' wedding, and the Thornock family reunion in Texas! This will be a busy month and a half. In a really good way.

That's pretty much it for us. Oh, and I started a new blog! Our stake (regional level of organization in our church) has been focusing on member missionary work, so I decided to make a blog about my beliefs. You can check it out if you want to. http://thingsabbeyknows.blogspot.com/

Only 18 more days of class!
