way to go

Today was my 1/2 way mark for my dental hygiene school, which is really my 3/4 mark for getting my bachelors degree. Boy oh boy does it feel good! Aside from the celebrations and treats we had all day in honor or our 1/2 way day, we also had 3 midterms.

I did not study for these midterms. Okay, probably about 3 hours collectively. Which, you should know, is nothing.

Test 1: Community. Very easy. I doubt I got anything lower than a 95%. Success.

Test 2: Dental Materials. Questions 1-57, knew every answer. 58-100, guessed at least half of them. I'm praying I got a B.

Test 3: Oral Diagnoses: Question 1, uh oh. Questions 2-49, thinking to myself "I'd be better off just taking this test blind." And no, I don't mean taking it without studying, I mean literally filling out a scantron without being able to see where the bubbles were.

What consumes my time

during summer '10.

School, obviously. But at school, I'm learning how to give injections. Megan and I finally got to be partners and give each other the greater palatine injection. It wasn't painful, but the numbness on my palate made me gag! 

Riding bikes. I ride bikes everywhere. This day I stole Emily Tate's bike (don't be mad) and decided I need to ditch the beach cruiser forever and just go road bike style. 
Making things. I just painted myself this jewelry box and I love it.

Rodeo drive

Yesterday I stepped into a scene I've never been before. Have you every been to the rodeo? I had a great experience. Many "firsts" took place.

I saw a lot of plaid shirts, and cowboy hats.

I saw grown men chasing after wild cows, attempting to milk them. [Ew, first]
I was terrified one of the participants riding a bull would get his face stepped on.

I saw a buffalo. Who knew they even still existed?! [first]

I hung out with Tori outside of a family function [first]
I am now aspiring to become a rodeo queen, just so you know.

Marriage -


it's a good thing. One more down. I was happy to go to Nicole and David's reception a couple nights ago; Nicole you made a beautiful bride! I knew you would.


It was nice to catch up with all the old roommates/ward members, and their spouses :)

school.

Willi Nixon: (noun) mature, smart, responsible.

It's been about a year and a half since I polled 20 people, only to find that the top 3 words to describe me are that above.

Well it is summer; I do not feel mature, smart, or responsible. I want to sleep and hike, eat and shop, swim and play tennis. I want to go on adventures. I want to take trips.

I do NOT want to go to school or work, wake up early or study.
