This too shall pass, this too shall pass!

"The strange looking bar in the baggie is a snickers bar with the chocolate cut off, because I really like snickers, but have a hard time with the chocolate because it makes it sooo sweet and it is often more than my body wants."

I have been thinking a lot about the little train that could and I have really began to wonder if he is misquoted. Everyone says that he said, "I think I can, I think I can!" I seriously think he was actually saying, "This too shall pass, This too shall pass!" That has become my motto this summer!

Anatomy and physiology 11 week class, Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6-9:50! nough said!!
On the day of my final exams (I had one class yet I had 3 tests to take. A 3rd exam, final exam and the lab exam on the same day) Desiree made me this awesome shirt! Including the train patch :) It was so awesome and for the first time I went to take a test and did not have anxiety about it. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Desiree. Honestly boys she is a catch!!! ;) The picture at the top is what I walked into my room to find when I was going to bed late one night from studying. The funny thing is that I was around when she was pulling all of this off, but apparently so involved in studying that I had no idea.

Aside from all the study time that I have had to put into this class, I have found it amazing the way the body works, and it definitely bears testimony to me that there is a Divine creator!

Dissecting a cat was also cool, though why I have to know their muscles in addition to mine is beyond me, it is human anatomy after all.

40-50+ hours of work a week has also been an adventure!

And last but not least moving in the middle of it all! Oh the adventure my new room mate (Desiree) and I have had in moving together.

It all started when we moved in at 12am, and yes I literally meant 12am! :) It started off our room mate bonding moments just right, but wait there's more.

Action:
Desiree walks in front door, Michelle is sitting on couch studying.

Michelle: Desiree, I think our apartment may have flees???

Desiree runs over to couch and kneels on floor: What??? I have never seen a flee!!

Michelle: They are small and black and they bite!!!!

Desiree (two hours later): yeah we have flees 2 of them just jumped on me.

(Next day)
Setting: Apartment office
Desiree: Our Apartment has flees

Manager calls 15 minutes later: We will get it taken care of immediately.

Desiree calls Michelle at work

Desiree: Our apartment is being fumigated TODAY!!!!

Later that night:
Setting: Michelle walks in apartment door!

Yay no more flees, we need to vacuum every day, only problem is our neighbors hate* us because the only time we ever have time to vacuum is about 11-12 at night. :)

Major props for the Renaissance apartment who are amazing at taking care of their residents!!!

Oh yeah and there was also the water incident, this actually has video to document :)



Sorry about the sideways issue?? I will learn to do it correctly. :)



All in all I think things in my new apartment have gotten off to a great start!!! Funny stories to share the next time I am asked to do a youth fireside about moving out of the house and away from the parents. Too bad, I didn't have all of these experiences the first time a few weeks ago!


*Hate is a rather strong word, they have actually been quite charitable and have not even mentioned our late night vacumming activities! That and we live on the first floor!
**This is from my summer experiences but if you had noticed I did not do a lot of posting during the summer.
***I also have another room mate now (Christa) who is also amazing. Really it is just really not fair that I am so blessed with the room mates I have had.
****Originally this post was supposed to be posted at the beginning of August, but because of lack of internet it didn't occur till now.
