Volunteering

Today was an amazing day. I volunteered for 7 hours for the Harvest Gala. The Harvest Gala raises money for patients at Altru. This year they were raising money for their program H.A.R.P. This is a program for patients on renal dialysis. I feel very fortunate that I was able to volunteer for this and this program specifically. Renal dialysis is something that hits close to home and I understand what the patients are going through and the effects it has on not only the person on dialysis but their families as well. I am glad to say that I spent 7 hours volunteering but I am glad to say that I volunteered at an event that was raising money for dialysis patients. This volunteering made me think alot about my dad and how he continues to live his life on dialysis. I really love my dad and I'm glad that I was able to do something that supports people like him on dialysis.

Friday Night My Way

Well Friday is by far my favorite day of the week. I only have one class. It is before lunch and I don't need to wake up before 10. And the best part of all when I get out of class at 11:50 I am free from class until 11 AM Monday. Friday is a happy day, I may be exhausted from the week of classes and homework but I seem to be able to stay up late come Friday night. On a usual Friday night I would be watching movies more than likely it would of been a disney movie. But tonight was different. Tonight our school was hosting 3 comedians and I went. They were hilarious. But I pretty sure next weekend will be back to movie night.

The good old days

I will admit that sometimes I wish I was in Kindergarten again. When school was not time consuming, there was nap time and the main objective was to have fun while learning. Unfortunately for me I am a college student. The only similarity that college and kindergarten have in common is that nap time is a must. School work is time consuming and difficult. Most of the time I really enjoy the work that is needed to put into classes but sometimes there are days like today that I would have prefered to stay in bed instead of going to my 7:30 AM anatomy lab. I think today being in kindergarten again would have been ideal. I would have enjoyed learning while have fun, the fun usually involved coloring and playing games (two things I happen to excel in). While today I wish I was a kindergartener, tomorrow I will be glad that I am a college student. It is nice to imagine being little every once in a while.

Classes, Classes and more Classes

Classes are now in full swing. The first set of of tests are either done or coming up within the next week. I thoroughly enjoy class only because it keeps me busy. I not the biggest fan of tests and homework but it is something to do. What really keeps me going during the long days of class is my sorority they are what keep me going when classes are bringing me down. It doesnt get me down very often but when they do, I have people to cheer me back up.

Time for classes

Tomorrow is the day. The day that classes start. It is very exciting. Am I ready for the work that comes with classes? I am not 100% sure but I am ready to have stuff to do but not ready for the tests that come along with the classes. As of right now I am down to only 12 hours until Anatomy starts. Hopefully tomorrow will go well and the day after that and the day after that.

SUMMER

Summer break is going by oh so fast. It's halfway done and soon I will be going back to school. I am ready to go back so I can see my friends again but I am not ready for the school work and late night studying. July means that soon it will be time to go to the cabin and I cannot wait. A whole week at the lake with the family.

How fast the year went...

I can not believe that it is almost time to go home for the summer. This semester has been really crazy and extremely busy. But next week at this time I will be home. My room is almost all packed. One final to study for and the worst part is going to be saying goodbye to my friends. But next year I will be at Pi Phi once again having a great time.
