Hello everyone who doesn't read this!

Today is Wednesday (what an oddly spelled word) the 30th of December. We are winding down another year. I am eating cheetos (yes gross) and drinking some (soda)pop. We filled about 240 prescriptions today (the record at our store is 253, set on the 29th this year!) We were busy with a lot of flu vaccines and antibiotics. Also, people were trying to pick up prescriptions before the insurance rolls over into the new year. It was busy and I had a lot of fun (who gets to say they have fun everyday at work?!! I love the pharmacy!!) I just wrote all my Christmas thank yous and addressed them. Also, I watched an episode of LOST (the best show in the history, and future, of television). It was the Constant (which is one of my favorites) and it blows my mind everytime I watch it.

Amy and I went skiing a couple days ago and it was fun. Amy is not the best skier in the world, but I'm glad she tried it. She spent a lot of the time on the ground. Mom was hilarious (she was making fun of Amy and making fun of me as well). I went down the larger hills (not the bunny hill) about 7 times by myself and I think I could have skied the whole day. My legs hurt a little. I wanted to snowboard originally, but I think skiing was easier to learn. I remember going snowboarding with Amanda (a friend from middle school and part of high school) and it was fun but we had no idea what we were doing.

Well if everyone is doing it...

blogging that is. I think I'll start back up. Here my little plug for Jessa and Shawn. All I have to say is read their blogs.

Now...on to the blogging.

Today is Friday. It's not just any Friday...it's the Friday before finals. The last 4 semesters I would have been scrambling to study as much as possible before my tests. This year, I spent my day going to classes (yes, I went to all of them today...yay Andrea), running a workout, hanging around talking to friends, playing videogames and eating pizza, and watching a movie. This is a lot more fun than studying organic chemistry until 1 in the morning. However, I believe my grades and sanity come finals will suffer. But, I think it's worth it. (A wise friend once told me that college is not all about grades...it's about enjoying yourself and having fun sometimes too).

Here is the run down on the next week or so. Tonight, meet up with Clint and maybe head to Walmart to buy some icecream. Tomorrow, studying and maybe a little Christmas shopping. Sunday, serious studying and a long run. Monday, two finals and studying. Tuesday, a little studying and maybe some ice climbing? Wednesday, 1 final and a take home final to turn in. Wednesday night, exchanging Christmas gifts with Clint and maybe going out for some alcoholic beverages in celebration of the ending of a entirely unproductive semester. Thursday, Celine Dion concert...does anything more need to be said? Friday, heading home to see my family and the animals. That's all I have planned for now and I can actually say I am looking forward to all of it...even the studying.

Well, here's the end of this one tonight.

I would like to leave you with a song to listen to and a quote to think about:

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
