Scared Straight

Well, it's been an eventful few days. We finished up our week of school with our math pre-test. Whew! It's all medical calculations, and we'll all have to make a 90% on the real test. I came in with a solid 82%; sadly, I thought I'd done better. However there are many "rounding rules" that I was unsure of the application. We'll see tomorrow. I think we can review our tests then.

Since then, I've cooked and cleaned, had a date Friday, saw a concert in the rain Saturday with a friend and had an incredible dinner with my best friends on Sunday. I might add I'm still full from the dinner Lynn made, which incidentally was the best meal I've had anywhere all year long. So, the real funny part is that both Friday and Saturday were with 25 year-olds. Clearly I'm either regressing or finding my inner youth. It's certainly a new cohort for me. I've hung out with and dated older, smarter, cooler, funnier, etc. However, I've never tried the young-er. It's a new "-er" for me. Yes, I've heard all of the cougar jokes. Funny, haha.

However, the jig was up today. I realized last night how far behind I was in my reading. Since my workout this afternoon I've pretty much been non-stop. The good news is that it's a little after 11:00 and I've finished preparing for tomorrow. The bad news is that I have more reading to catch up on. I was IM'ing with my old college buddy and roomie, Gloria, tonight. She asked how school was going, and I told her it would be better if I'd used my weekend more wisely. Her response was something to the effect of, "isn't that always the way in school?". So this week I'll have to really knock it out. Our first big exam is next Monday. Maybe I just like the pressure?
