Guten Tag

Last night, Mona from Freienhagen, Germany, called. She mentioned that my blogging has been laking of late. So, Mona, Guten Tag. Wie gehts?

Today is the last day of regular classes. I have two lectures today: Physiology (human reproduction) and Microbiology (continuing immunology). My Anatomy class, which normally follows Microbiology, is an optional lab. As the weather outside is frightful and at my house, the fire is so delightful, I must go, I must go, I must go. Actually, the weather guy said that after 3 pm today, we are expecting crazy snow. Okay, he didn't actually say "Crazy Snow." I don't believe "Crazy Snow" is a proper meterological term, so I am paraphrasing here.

This coming Wednesday, day after tomorrow, is my final exam day for Microbiology and Anatomy. Friday will be the day for Physiology. I'm confident that I will do well in all of my classes. I currently have an A in each class and expect to maintain my grade. I still have a bit more studying to do on HIV and the endocrine system. Other than that, I'm not too stressed.

I still have chapters to write for my novel. I requested an extension to the end of December and they graciously agreed. Once exams are finished, I have to focus on my fictional world.

Still to come is my knee surgery. That's on the 27th of this month. So, techincally, I don't have to the end of the month to finish my chapters. I really only have until Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas, I informed my husband that I am ignoring holiday decorations this year. As I am the one who decorates and put everything away once the holiday has been celebrated, I decided that after surgery I will not be too interested in wrestling decorations in a full leg brace and medicated. I think he was a bit disappointed, but he didn't protest to much. I'm thinking that I'll get a live poinsettia and it will be our tree. That way clean up will consist of tossing a dead plant. It's festive and easy clean up. Ho, ho, ho, in the trash it will go. Although, I DID get out my fabulous Christmas bear last night. The cats are fascinated by it.

This morning, I am meeting my girlfriends for an All You Can Eat pancake breakfast. The price is right....$2.00. YeeeeHaw!

Tschuss.
