AMAZING Weekend



The beginning of "round three" testing began this past Friday with an Anatomy and Physiology test. I studied very hard for this test as the material seemed more difficult, extensive and involved than previous material. Apparently my study habits paid off as I somehow pulled off an "A" on the test! Even more exciting is the fact that if I keep going the direction I have been going I may somehow be able to acquire an "A" in the class whereas I was sitting with a firm "B" beforehand! I did not think I had a chance at that but now it isn't too far out of my reach. YIPPEE!! Pharmacology test 3 is this Wednesday and Chemistry round 3 follows on November 9 to complete the entire round three of testing.

Chris came down to Fort Worth Friday to see me this weekend. His timing could not have been more perfect. I was exhausted from studying and needed a break desperately. I made myself relax and not even look at my study material all day Friday and Saturday. Instead Chris and I spent some quality time together. We enjoyed basic, simple things together such as going to Sam's, Starbuck's for coffee and Barnes and Noble to read/buy some magazines. Saturday we took a tour of TCU's campus together, went to the Fort Worth Zoo and saw a movie. I have not had a chance to tour the campus of the school I attend 3 times a week so felt like that was something I'd like to do. Also, Chris and I aren't from Fort Worth so we wanted to see some area attractions and heard the Zoo was nice! Sunday (today) we ate lunch at Spaghetti Warehouse downtown Dallas and went to the Dallas Aquarium. This weekend was a BLAST!!! I now feel refreshed and ready to continue on diligently with my studying (which begins again tonight!!)


Here's a couple of pics of the TCU campus (the college I attend):
