Eddy.

This is Eddy.

He is my parents new dog. Cutest thing ever.

This is Eddy running on the beach at La Push. Look at him go! He's not even touching the ground.

La Push.

Today we drove out to La Push and went to First Beach (or was it Second Beach? I can't remember). La Push is an Indian Reservation close to where my parents live in Sequim. We hiked around and took a lot of pictures. Eddy got to come. He loved it.

And no, it wasn't really sunglasses weather. I'm just having eye problems again. Its that same kind of corneal abrasion type thing that I had a couple of weeks ago, only this time not as bad because I can open my eyes and see. I'm actually wearing two pairs of glasses in these pictures.

Oh man. It has definitely not been a good eye year for me.

The Zoo and the Circus.

We finished finals on Wednesday and hopped on a plane to come to Sequim for a couple of days to visit my parents and celebrate my mom's birthday. Yesterday, we headed to Seattle for the day. First, we went to the Zoo. Its the same zoo we would go to all the time that one year we lived in Washington about 13 years ago. Then we went to dinner with some family friends who I haven't seen for about 15 years. After that we went to the Cirque du Soleil show Corteo. Pretty cool. It was a fun day. We didn't get back until way late.

Here are some pictures from the Zoo. My mom was there too. She was the one taking all the pictures and didn't make it into any of them. No pictures of Corteo though... cameras weren't aloud.

On a side note, I managed to rip a very large hole into the inner thigh of the jeans I was wearing that day. True Religions. It happened at the beginning of the day and continued to get bigger as the day went on. I wasn't too happy with that.

Going to the Matresses.

Tara had a birthday party. It was Godfather themed. So fun. Those girls know how to throw a party.

Anyways, I have my Organic Chemistry final tomorrow morning. I should probably get back to that...

Study Time.

Late last night, Heidi and I went to the library to meet up with my friend Jon to study (its finals week). While we were walking in, we ran into Heidi's friend Bryan. After about 20 minutes of absolutely no studying in the library, the four of us end up at our place to watch Juno for the 3rd time in 24 hours.

Good work, guys.

Trash Party.

Today, the girls of CT 36 had a "Lets take out the trash!" Party.

Our trash has really been building up lately and it was starting to stink up the place. It was really becoming a problem. So, today while I was on campus I made an event on facebook that we were all going to take out that trash tonight at 9 and sent it to my roommates. Fortunately, they both said they were attending.

It was the best party ever.

Here's what the invitation said:

It's that time again guys, time to take out the trash.

I don't know if you noticed, but our kitchen has been smelling really bad lately and I'm pretty sure I've figured out where its coming from: those bags of garbage we've had laying around for the last couple days. Maybe we should do something about it?

Also, have you been inside Ally's room lately? Heidi, you really messed that place up. Maybe you could help her out a little and take out one of those 50 million bags of garbage she has in her room. Its the least you can do, considering its your fault

Here's the plan: We are going to meet in the kitchen of Chatham Towne 36 at 9:00 with all of our trash and then we are going to walk over to the dumpster together. Sound good?

Does anyone remember how to get to the dumpster though? Its been awhile since I've been there so I'm not really sure how to get there anymore. I'll probably get lost so I'm going to need someone else to lead the way.

New Plan.

So, here is my new plan.

For as long as I have been in college, I have always planned to take the DAT after my Junior year, somewhere around May 2009ish. Now, I have decided I am going to take it in about 3 months... almost a year earlier than originally planned.

I decided this a couple of days ago when I discovered I didn't get the job I wanted for the summer. Suddenly, the summer became very open and I needed to find something to do for the next 4 months here in Provo. So, that got me thinking. I only have 2 more classes to take before I can take the DAT, Physiology and Genetics, and I was planning on taking them this fall. I decided that I am going to take them in the spring instead, take a DAT Prep course this summer and then take the DAT around August and just be done with it while everything is still fresh on my mind.

Good plan. I'm pretty excited about it (and nervous). I really don't know why I didn't think of it before.
