Long overdue updates

I’ve been meaning to post for a long time; however, it turns out I’m pretty awful with committing to creative endeavors. I like to start projects, but have a bad habit of leaving halfway through. I also have a terrible time staying on top of any sort of writing that doesn’t have a definite due date- or any due date at all for that matter. Plus, I don’t always live the most interesting life, and thus don’t usually have much to tell you about. Unless you want to hear about my tedious study habits. Those habits, although they keep me from having any semblance to a social life, did help me earn a 3.72 this semester. That is defiantly something worth repeating, even if it means very little hanging out with friends or thoughts outside of Organic Chemistry and Physiology and Anatomy. My cumulative GPA is currently a 3.21 and needs to keep increasing over the next five semesters of undergrad. (Isn’t that insane?! there are only five semesters left in undergraduate college- where in the word does time go?)

Now, I know I said I would be giving a recap of 2008, but I’ve lost all ability to really decipher time as the Gregorian calendar insists. Years are the blocks of time when I am in school- namely August through May; and summers are their own periods of time which really can fall into either category depending on what I am referencing. It just makes more sense that way for my personal use. And, more importantly classes have started again and thinking about the past isn't the best idea right now- just pushing ahead for the future.

The quick and dirty over view of my year (August 2008 through now) goes as follows:

Send Zinc to a rescue- one of the hardest things I've ever done, and it still brings me to the verge of tears thinking about, but it was for the better; Dad died within the first week of classes- went home for the funeral and didn't cry at all. It was actually more relieving than anything else; In the same time span Mum and Bill pass away; Study, study, study- constant tests and no free time; Zinc gets adopted- miss him and having a pet terribly; Winter break: brothers get picked up for skipping school less than 24 hours since I've been home and I have to go retrieve them, awful 12 hour night of work, Alan's for a bit, Norovirus and constant reverse peristalsis through out Christmas, babysitting New Years, Alan's for a bit, Mom has surgery- I can't even begin to describe this main points are blood transfusions, plasma, and von Willibrand's possibilities, Babysitting Logan for two weeks and Logan and Amy together twice; Back to school; Thinking about getting a kitten...

So that's been my year. This semster should also be action packed. I have four classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, and one Monday, Wednesday, Friday; but the time I'm not in class will be spent doing lots of homework, so in advance- sorry for the lack of posting. I will try and update Twitter as much as I can at the very least.
