Life has been amazingly busy lately, but not without a measure of fun. Here's the story.
So I've been loaded down with homework, and fighting to get it done
and when I look ahead I realize the work has just begun
I took a test in math today, my head almost a-splode
but it didn't quite get that way for I've been able to unload
You see my v-day stank, I had study, I had school
But I thought of something clever, I thought of something cool

ok... enough rhyming. :-)
I planned an awesome weekend, and luckily I didn't have much homework this past weekend so I wasn't crazy stressed to do it. For v-day (even though it wasn't on the day) I took Courtney to Gatlinburg for the day. We left at 7am and got back at about 1:30am. We went to the Mirror Maze, the aquarium (which was REALLY exciting for her because she loves that stuff [she's a bio major and aquatic animals are her favorite. She was identifying parts and stuff all day... she was really happy]), and walked around looking at shops and stores for the afternoon. That night was the big treat. We went to the Dixie Stampede dinner theater. It was way cool, and I should have some pics up soon.
Then Monday me and Adam had the pretty amazing idea of going skiing. So we left at 7am and got back at about 2:30am. We got to ski from 12:30-10 with a hour and a half break. It was really cheap too.
So yea, it was amazing, but don't think I've been slacking and living the good life. Those 2 days come after several weeks of constant study, homework and stress. Sometimes we need a day or two. It prevents mental breakdown. But now that this week is in full swing I'm right back into my studies with the test I took today, project I turned in to day, paper due tomorrow, and large paper due Tuesday (plus whatever is assigned tomorrow)

I don't think I've posted about this so here's something new:
I've been going to the chiropractor lately. Several years ago a friend of mine picked me up from behind and squeezed really hard. I felt something in my back pop and it has had a catch in it ever since. Well, at the start of this semster-ish I noticed it becoming much much more painful. So I made and appointment to get the x-rays necessary to have chiropractic work done. The x-rays show that I have "separated rib heads" meaning that where your ribs and spine (I think it's the spine, but I know it's at least close to the spine) meet in the back several of them had come severely out of alignment, almost like a dislocation. Because they had been like this for a long time my spine had also slightly started to twist. It was just now really starting to cause me pain though. So I've been going nearly every day for a few weeks now and my back feels WAY better. Tomorrow he's taking more x-rays to see if we still need to align them more or if they've gone into place.


Well that's life. I'm going to go back to writing my paper now.
--oh, dad(bill). If I get done at a 1/2 decent hour I'm planning on doing those receipts tonight.
