A return to normalcy...

Life has a way of becoming normal, doesn't it? No one can constantly have new, exciting, riveting things happening all the time, and I think that might be where I'm at. That doesn't mean that I'm not enjoying where I am, but there hasn't been a lot of change going on in my life the last couple of weeks like there were at the beginning of the semester. All the classes I'm going to be taking for a while have begun, CMDA has been happening half a semester, the new Sunday school class is getting its stride.(shameless plug: Come to Highlands and join The Well!!) This is when LIFE happens... when things are "normal." This isn't a bad thing, in fact, times like these give us the time and sanity to reflect on what we're doing here and who we are and who we want to be. It's hard to do this when everything in our world is changing quickly.
So this is a good thing. "A return to normalcy" as President Warren Harding once put it (don't worry... I had to look that one up).
To play catchup on Rob's life: been dissecting the abdomen in gross lab. We didn't find a gallbladder, ascending colon, or an appendix. This is not because we weren't observant, but rather because they weren't there! So we've been learning a lot and it has been interesting when it doesn't stink too much.
In other news, we're about to begin an exciting two week series of tests that will have us spending copious amounts of time in the library and in lab. Friday is physiology, Monday is Gross and Developmental Anatomy, Friday is Biochemistry and the next Monday is Histology written and practical exams. mmmmm.... but it'll be fine, just gotta put my head down and do the work. Enjoying most of the material has definitely made it easier. I hope this continues, but I know there will be times it it harder to stay motivated.
