WE HAVE INTERNET.

These past few days have been exciting, to say the least- and that's not counting the lack of internet! On Wednesday the network that we had been using totally died, so we tried to connect our router for the next couple of days...aaaand failed. Luckily, after some calls to Utah Broadband, we are now fixed and have much better internet. Woohoo! So here it goes for an update:

Friday-I took my anatomy lecture midterm and got a 94! I'm so glad I went to the reviews I did and got the tips to try practice online problems and to really know all the lecture slides, because it certainly paid off! I went with C to pick up a scooter for her brother E, who broke two toes rock climbing. It definitely brought back memories of my poor roommate S scootering around all last semester...That night, we went and saw Star Trek 2, which was, in a word-AWESOME. I don't consider myself a Trekkie because I've never actually seen any of the originals, but I LOVE the J.J. Abrams remakes. So. Good. And the fact that I'm a huge Benedict Cumberbatch fan doesn't hurt either...

STAR TREK!

Saturday: I had two hours of open lab, then I went with T and C to go help volunteer for a Y-Chem (BYU's Chemistry Club) event. As you may have guessed, we were rewarded with a cool free t-shirt, pizza, and ice cream. Yum. Plus bonus points for helping out. Our job was to guide high schoolers to each lab/station and make sure they didn't get lost/break anything/break themselves...

 That evening (while it was still light!) we attempted to hike the Y again-we were probably a third of the way up when T quit, so I decided to stay behind and keep her company. Truth be told, the view was pretty fine from where we were...

 Someday I will conquer Y Mountain, though!! It was quite steep, I will admit. Mom-I tried to take a picture of the steepness, because it made me think of our Snowslide Lake hike all over again...

pretty steep.

Sunday: Church/lunch/dinner at the W's. Watched an episode of Planet Earth, and am getting ready for bed because I'm super tired!! Plus I have some more open labs early tomorrow in preparation for my lab midterm...eeeek! Wish me luck! The parts that I'm nervous for are the Central Nervous System (because we just covered it and didn't have a quiz on it...) and the insertions/origins of muscles. At least I've done everything I can, including doing an extra credit TA evaluation! And once I get through it, I just have my Foods midterm that I'm going to take on Wednesday, and then I leave Friday to go home for Memorial Day!! Can't wait to see everyone, including the partying parents who are getting back from their spring break in Florida ;) Good night!
