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.
