First Test Down!

I knew that the time would just fly by, and I kind of hoped that it would.  But with as much material as we are getting, I find myself wishing for more hours in the day so I can study a little bit longer but still get a decent nights sleep.  My past two Saturday nights have been spend with Sully in my lap, my dry erase board to my right and my Gross Anatomy notes to my left.  It doesn't bother me, but I do feel like a nerd.  Guess you gotta be to do well in PT school.

We had our first quiz on Thursday.  It went very well for me.  Trying to keep up a 4.0 for this first semester.  I hear the fall is going to be a doozy.  We officially get grades back tomorrow.  I think I checked over all of my answers about 5 times, and I felt so good turing it in.  But Friday in lab, Donna Lee said that the grades were "okay" and that the fill-in-the-blanks were "pretty good".  I guess I will know here definition of "okay" and "pretty good" tomorrow, but by her saying that, it got me questioning my answers.  And I hope I wasn't the person who put Long Thoracic Artery for the nerve that supplies the Serratus Anterior muscle.  That sounds like something I would do.  

Video chatting with Steven is about an every-other-day thing.  I try to keep up with my studies enough to where I can finish in time to talk to him and actually see his face before I go to bed every night.  If I ever met the person who thought up and actually followed through with the creation of video chat, I will give them a huge hug.  They have no idea how much of a difference it makes in a 7 week long distance marriage.  

The Troopers decided to have a little fun on the bus at the beginning of the week, and the new reports decided to give all of the loved ones at home a heart attack.  While traveling from Wyoming to Iowa on Sunday night, one of the buses (not Steven's) blew a front tire, ran off the road, and flipped a few times before stopping.  By the grace of God, everyone was okay, but it sure did throw me for a loop.  They made it to their stop for the evening, and all of the students on the bus were dismissed from the hospital in time to get a good night's sleep, but it was the fact that one of the buses had its first wreck in the 3 years Steven has been touring with drum corps.  Prayers that the traveling with continue on safely and that Steven comes home to me in one piece. 

Sunday School was great this morning, but there is something about going to a couples Sunday School class without your other half that makes me miss Steven a bit more.  So today has been a little rough.  But I am so glad I went.  I was being tempted to leave right after Sunday School to "study", but I stayed and I am so glad I did.  Worship this morning was amazing, and Brother Phil's sermon on Psalm 134 forced me to get out of my "I miss Steven" slump and celebrate God and his awesome works.  God definitely is SO good, and even though I am physically living alone (except for Sully), God is right by my side and is watching over me while I am here and watching over Steven while he is there over these 7 weeks.  Only 5 more though! Stay strong, pray hard, and God bless!
