Friday night Rachel and Katy had a going away party for me. Katy made me this yummy cake (and prooved her baking abilities) it was delicious! They even put posters up for me and all my friends wrote some drunken message for me...lol. I promise I won't overdo it because I've said this before in previous entries, but Winona has shown me how kind life ( Read more... )

The last two days have been crazy...I've been so stressed. But tonight...for some reason I am feeling a little more at ease. I gave my final 45 minute group speech tonight for biomedical ethics. This conludes this class....which means 1 class down...or 3 more today-plus medterm. I just feel a little less stressed. PLUS! I got this weekend off of ( Read more... )

This weekend was supposed to be my study weekend. That didn't happen. So now at 10 PM on a Sunday night I am stuck in the library trying to catch up on my bio reading...but it's SO dry and the chapters are so long that I found myself needing a breather. Although I botched my plan of having a study weekend, it was so worth it. What started out as a ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the appointment at Century. Today was the appointment at the U of M. It went well. I talked with the head of Med Tech for over and hour. I am taking the right classes, have decent grades (need to up chem though), and my experience puts me above others. It's set...I've officially figured out my next 3 years. I am happy...content..and ( Read more... )

It isn't that Winona is a bad place...it's actually quite quaint. It has this small town feel that grabs you right away. Not to mention it is beautiful. I remember my freshman year I was in awe by the smog that formed around the bluffs early in the morning. Winona is beautiful and peaceful. But most of all it is the home of where I met some of my ( Read more... )

This weekend I went home with Paige to Germantown, Wisconsin. (It's near Milwaukee for those of you like me who didn't really know where it was.) It has a population of like 16,000, so I was expecting like this little hick town...but I was def wrong. It was this cute little town nestled between a bunch of other little towns and only like 30 minutes ( Read more... )

Today is hump day. My second favorite day of the week. It's the one day that me and Bri for sure get together and enjoy a nice hot cup of tea and watching sexy Bob Barker. Today I didn't get tea though. Instead I indulged in a nice hot plate of blueberry pancakes and juice. Real yummy. We even had a guest visitor today: Brenton came and visited us ( Read more... )

SO...I have missed livejournal. For the past year it has been a place where I could collect my thoughts and sift through my worries and plans. It helped me vent and was my place to write down those special memories that needed recording. But at somepoint I stopped feeling it was okay for everybody to read some of my deepest thoughts. There are some ( Read more... )

So...right now a lot of thoughts are spinning in my head. There are a lot of things I'd like to write down but am afraid that people will find my thoughts odd, or not understand, or think less of me. Therefore, I have decided to end my livejournal journey for now. I may return when my thoughts and things I need to write down at this time settle ( Read more... )

I have two homes. I have my home in St. Paul, Minnesota where everything seems so simple. Yeah, at times life may be boring, but I'm happy. That's all that really counts. Then I have my second home in Winona, MN. The first year it was new and exciting. But this year I have found myself struggling everyday to be happy. It is a daily battle, but I do ( Read more... )
