new experiences

this past weekend was full of "1sts" for me...

friday i was driving to the farm and i saw this lovely field that i thought i'd take a picture of. i'm out on the country road and think that the snow is covering part of the road, (not a ditch) so i pull over. next thing bruce and i are sideways in a ditch. : ) good times. i call AAA to come and rescue me and while i'm on the phone my knight in shining armor for the day pulls up in a ginormous white truck (instead of on a white horse) to save me. he was super nice and drove me to my grandparents house so i wouldn't have to wait for AAA in my freezing truck. thank God for him. it would've been quite a walk or quite a freezing 45 minute wait. i didn't want to bug my grandparents as i knew it was nap time! so that was a fun experience...

saturday night my housemates and i went to my very 1st hockey game! i really enjoyed it as i had absolutely no idea what was going on but hey it was really exciting. and there were a bunch of fights and everyone pretty much goes for the fights so it was a good game i guess. i'd definitely like to go again  : )

sunday at church we had the director of frontier missions come and talk to us about mission opportunities in northern iraq and it was really eye opening about the needs there. i never thought about going there before but i'd love to participate in medical trips there hopefully in the future. i also went to a super bowl party with our college group and i think it was the most of any football game i've ever watched. good times : )

now back to the grind of school... its going well. lots of information that i'm trying to cram into my head. we're learning about how to draw up medications for injections right now in pharmacology which is pretty exciting! we're going to be "practicing on oranges" next week. kind of random but its fun.

that's all for now.. kind of rambling on but i must go study for a medical terminology quiz for tomorrow...
