Is there a pause button to my life? Because lately it feels like a big NO! Last week, I took two exams on Tuesday before heading to St. George for the World Senior Games. I was there until Thursday night and then came home to take yet another TWO exams and a quiz for exercise physiology! I'll be leaving again tomorrow to go back!
I love St. George and I love the Senior Games.....I DONT love the grad student doing her study on the carotid ultrasound so it is a HUGE mess! Since I'm the only one who had been there before and knew how it worked, people can sense the one person who has a clue what they're doing. So....all the old people came to yell at me because of the disaster she had made it. So I was calming them down and explaining why it was a mess when the grad student comes and tells me to stop telling them its a mess. For those that know me you know this about me: A. Dont tell me what to do and B. I'll say whatever the heck I want to when I'm the one having to problem solve the mess you created! It ended badly for the grad student when she tried to yell at me, we'll just say there were some tears....and they weren't mine. Those poor people. For her study, she made them fast- they're all participating in sporting events, mind you, and they're old- so fasting until late in the afternoon was basically just cruel. AND they had to have 7...thats right SEVEN vials of blood drawn for her study. I was not on the Grad Students side, these poor people were mad and had every right to be.
Alas, I still had a great time in St George once we were able to get it organized! I got to visit a couple that used to live in Casper- Wes and Aubrey. She was actually the person who talked me into coming to BYU. It was so fun to see them again! They just had twins and I loved seeing them! They are the kind of parents I want to someday be.
And then I drove home! It really sucks to spend as much time apart that Cole and I do with him usually going home on the weekends and these two weeks with me in St. George but I am so grateful for him always- and when I do get him for the weekends, I LOVE it! I came home to find that he had put our bookshelf together and cleaned our apartment! He knows how stressed I get when I dont have time to clean! Seriously...the best husband EVER!
With everything I have yet to do tonight: laundry, quizzes, reading, grocery shopping, packing, and finding some time for sleep- I better quit blogging and start checking everything off my list!
And lastly a few quotes that are how I'm feeling
"In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive"
"It's not so much how busy you are, but why you are busy. The bee is praised. The mosquito is swatted."
Xoxo,
