My first day of classes consisted of about 3 hours of class room and about 5 hours of lab time.
Needless to say, I am very tired. Anatomy and Physiology = my summer.

I also dealt with my first human cadavar today! If you are already squeamish, dont' worry, I won't go into any more detail. But this is an experience I will remember for the rest of my life. At first, I could hear my heart pounding, because it was a new experience. But pretty soon, Harry (the name my group gave our cadavar) and I were chilling. Okay, sorry, that was a bad joke. And if you didn't get it, that's okay too.

"In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God." ~ Psalm 62:7. Right now, I'm going through a sticky situation with my school financial aid office. But I'm holding onto the fact that God is my rock. He is the sole reason I got into this school, so I am sure He will provide a way for me to stay.

Moving in was challenging - it rained torrentially and my parents car decided to stop working as soon as we were on campus. So after 8 hours of trying to get the car fixed and moving in all of my wet belongings, I was mentally and physically exhausted. But since I live close to home, I decided to go back and sleep in my own bed. What a relief!

Hopefully day 2 is much better...

I'm kind of late in the game in starting one of these blogs, but better late than never, right?
This way I can keep those of you who care, updated with what's going on with me =)

I graduated college two weeks, and I start graduate school in three days. Not much of a vacation, but my program starts in the summer, so there was nothing I could do about it. In the last couple of days, I've felt completely overwhelmed and unprepared to start school again. Financially, emotionally and spiritually, I was not ready to start a new chapter of my life all by myself. So right when I started to throw a pity party for myself, God stepped in.

And let me tell you, God is awesome. I still feel really scared, but I think that's expected when one starts something new in life. I'm also really excited because I will be learning physical therapy! I know, kind of dorky, but if this is what I will be doing for the rest of my life, I want to learn as much as I can about it.

Lets see...I move in tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes =)
