WAR EAGLE
Kim's parents came today and fixed us a delicious lunch. Josh had people over to watch the game and he smoked us some barbecue and made his very own barbecue sauce. He is a pro. And of course we went up to Toomer's to celebrate beating the rebel black bears and breaking the #1 curse. I did absolutely no studying whatsoever. Tomorrow will be my catch-up day.

bake fail
I had another baking fail yesterday. I love love love to bake. I am normally pretty good at it. When I bring things to parties people try it just because I brought it. However, I am glad I was only making this for my roommates and not planning on taking it anywhere. I tried to make Poke Cake. You know the cake where it has like jello seeped into it and it is just delicious? Mine was not good. It is edible, but nowhere close to being what it was supposed to be. I followed directions but when i went to pour the jello it just went all over the cake so instead of white cake with strawberry drips we have strawberry cake. I guess it turned out better than the petit fours which i tumped right into the garbage can but I was still disappointed. I am making mini crescent roll pizzas for my PPE meeting on Wednesday so that should go alot better. I just kinda played one day and made the recipe up and the roommates loved them so I figured I would make something I was sure I couldn't mess up.
On a better note....WE ARE #1! We beat LSWho and sent the corndogs all the way back to LOSE-iana! It was a really fun game to be at. We sat with Josh's friend Andy and his brother and my roommate Kim. My mom, dad, brother Brian, and my memaw all came to the game too so it was good to see them. And BONUS Lauren Huff was in town! You will survive in DC for 6 more months I promise. We all went to roll Toomer's to celebrate. It was a long day but it was a much needed break after our super hard DAD test on Friday.
Oscar the Grouch is now officially an Auburn resident. I couldn't give him up.Isn't he a cutie?!
And last but not least...go by Taylor Swift's new album Speak Now. It is seriously so great.

fostering
I am a new foster mom to 4 precious kittens. Josh's roommate's girlfriend got them from a lady she works with. Since I am a crazy cat lady at heart, I took them in. They're about 5 weeks old and they are the cutest little things. They were all pretty scared when we first got them but even just a few short days later they have gotten so much better. Last night if they made any noise, I woke up. I was worried about them. They are all snuggling with me as I write this. I wish I could keep them all but I know I can't.
We got our mammalian test back on Monday and I got an A! The first time I took the class I was never even close to an A. This time I owned it. plus I have more bonus points this go round. While I absolutely hate having to hike across campus and go to the class all over again or having to stop studying for DAD to study for mammalian, I am seeing so much blessing in all of it. Because I am doing so much better, I am going to have a higher gpa to start off pharmacy school. If I would have gotten a C in the spring I would have a C for my gpa this fall. Instead I will have a B possibly an A. That is a big deal. I am staying on top of everything even though I am taking more hours than some people. I will also be better prepared for next semester when everyone has 18 hours not just me. The people who are only taking DAD will have to adjust to studying for 2 huge classes but I will already be in the swing of doing that. God really knows what He is doing and no matter how much we dislike it at any point along the way, He works all things together for good. He knew I could do it and he knew I would be blessed by it. I did not like it. I still don't. But I do see Christ all over every aspect of my pharmacy school career.
p.s. I cannot wait to see Jackass 3D. Every time I see the previews I get more and more excited. I just wish my mom lived in town so she could go see it with me since she loves the other 2 movies :) I have a pretty awesome mother.

weekEND
This weekend was a perfect football weekend. Auburn won (ugly but still a win) and Alabama lost (to a team we have already beaten). I couldn't contain my excitement. I have WAY too many friends who go for bama to not get pure joy out of them losing from the very beginning to a team we beat. Auburn fans are not South Carolina fans or whoever fans. We're just anti-bama fans. I witnessed it all behind the pharmacy counter. Thank goodness I work at a ballin CVS that has a flat screen tv just for football weekends. It is well worth the $7 I chipped in for it. Getting to watch the games and make a ton of money at the same time....perfect.
Tomorrow is not a school holiday for Auburn so my weekend ends tonight which stinks. I think if the bank is closed school should be too. I have a full 2 weeks from now until my next huge test so if you need me I will be at the pharmacy building. The day of that test my wonderful friend and old roomie Lauren Huff is coming all the way back from Washington DC to visit! She lovessssss LSU so I am sure she will be decked out in all of her gear. I CANNOT wait to see her! I am so glad that I dont have to spend the weekend studying so we can hang out the whole time she is here. I can't wait to spend some time with the Huff family. It has been way too long since I have seen Ronnie :) Hurry up and get here Huffy!

to study or not to study
I did it! I pricked my own finger. I did it myself and then my partner did it to me. It was not as terrible as I thought it would be but I still was freaking out right up until having to push the button to poke the needle. But good news...I don't have diabetes :) I am very healthy. And while pricking myself my lab partner told me that people with my blood type have the longest life expectancy. He told me I should live to be over 90. I am pretty sure he doesn't know when I am going to die but just knowing I have the probability of living longer than most people is pretty neat.
This past weekend was so great. We played one of those teams you know you're going to beat so most people go home that weekend. Well I stayed here and pretty much my whole family came to Auburn! We litterally got a table for 16 people at the restaurant. Even though it wasn't everyone, it was wonderful to see my family. They are the part I don't like about living 2 hours away and being in pharmacy school now. I have to miss family birthday parties and all of that most of the time. Those of you who know me at all know that I have a SUPER close family and if there is ever something that you get together for, we do. I know it can be overwhelming. I had to kind of warn Josh before he met the craziness. He fits right in now though. Thanks goodness for facebook. I can even keep up with my poppa and granny(yes my grandfather is on facebook). I am beyond blessed with a wonderful, huge, loud, loving, Christian, fabulous family. Even though I had to study a ton this weekend, it made for a nice little study break.
Speaking of study breaks...I have absolutely no motivation to study right now. Last night Josh took me on a little date night so of course I hung out with him the rest of the night instead of studying. Then today is my long school day so I got home and was pooped. We have a test in the morning so a lack of motivation is probably not great. Since I am blogging instead of studying it must still be an issue.
Continue to keep the Graves family in your prayers. The viewing for the mother and father was tonight and their funeral is tomorrow. Praying for God's amazing peace.

whew
Yesterday, a couple from back home died in a motorcycle accident. They have 3 children that are now without both of their parents. Please keep the Graves family in your prayers. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
School is going by so fast. There is not much time for a break. I have taken at least one test for all of my classes this semester. Some turned out better than others but all in all I am making it. God is too awesome. There was one test I did not do as well as I had hoped. Then the teacher randomly decides to give us a 10 point bonus test. God never ceases to amaze me. It is absolutely incredible how much He shows up in my life. I keep saying it but He got me in and I have absolute faith He will get me through it if I put in my part of the work. He has so far and I do not see it changing anytime soon.
This week in our CAPP lab, we have to learn how to use blood glucose meters. This means we have to prick our fingers. This COMPLETELY freaks me out! When I give blood, it makes me more nervous and hurts more for them to prick my finger than shove a needle into my arm. And the thought of having to do it to myself is almost too much to handle. I have to do it again for our finals for a grade and I am probably going to get a bad grade because I am so scared to prick my own finger. I am dreading Wednesday. We got to use our stethoscopes a couple of weeks ago because we learned how to do blood pressure. It was a little hard to get the hang of. I am pretty much a pro now so let me take yo pressure :)
Shoutout to Joshua Dale. I was home and he has a loud truck and somehow he managed to sneak to my house and leave me a surprise that he made me. Perfect ending to a stressful day. He is the best.
