Here's to the New Year! 2011 bring it on.

2010 was quite the rollercoaster, it was made up of my first year or marriage which was loaded with happiness, laughs, tears, fights, struggles, growing experiences, love, friends, adventure and more. I wouldnt say it was a great or terrible year but i'm ready for 2011.

So far in 2011:

• we have moved into a beautiful new home where we plan to stay for at least a couple years until we are able to buy a house of our own. It is a condo owned by my dad which we are lucky enough to be living in. We have plenty of space and it is absolutely gorgeous! We have decorated and made it our own.

• We moved 4 times this year, we are relieved we won't be moving again for quite awhile!!

• Bo has started a new job with APX Alarms as a phone technician, we feel very blessed for Bo to have work. I am currently looking for a job as well.

• Both of our cars are in working order as of now, we are hoping it continues this way.

• I have been sick since Christmas with a terrible cough and I sound like a smoker (its getting better though) Both my mom and niece have had serious illness.

• I am practicing guitar more and hoping to really improve my skills this year and maybe even get up the courage and confidence to be able to perform for people.

• We have moved away from 98% of our friends and are missing them terribly, hoping to make more lasting friendships here.

• We live about 1/4 of a mile from my brother and his girlfriend whom we LOVE to hang out with.

• Bo and I have both set goals/new years resolutions, what ever you want to call them and I am planning on working hard to achieve them.

• We are hoping this year will be one full of hope and opportunity.

84% Might as well be an F

As you all know, I just had a test in anatomy on the muscles. My group and I studied for 16 hours in 3 days plus the other numerous hours we spent studying the muscles at other times. When test came I was sure that I aced it. I just knew that I got in the high 90's, after all my lowest test score so far was a 93% and I studied the most for this one. I was pretty sure that I got a 98%, I remembered one that I knew I got wrong. I couldn't wait to get my test back...

Well We got our tests back today in the lab and I only got an 84% I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO mad. I think one of the worst feelings in the world is knowing you did your best and your best just wasnt good enough, well I had A LOT of that feeling inside me. I am not proud of this, but i got so angry that I ripped my test, crumpled it up, threw it on the floor and I think a little steam was coming out of my ears. It was like in cartoons where their face turns red, their ears start steaming and in some cases their head actually explodes! I was almost there.

I have been getting so burnt out in this class, I was looking forward to getting this test back to give me a boost to keep going, to show me that if I put in the work when it gets hard it will be worth it and I will be rewarded... Well that is NOT what happened, I am more discouraged than ever and now I just want to make it through and have this class be over. I have another test coming up tomorrow and Thursday on the Nervous system, Senses and Endocrine system... I can only hope to do even half as well on this test as the last because the material is much harder and my motivation is about 1/300th of what it used to be.

84% might as well have been an F

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
