That looks like a Cadaver.
I got a 98 on this! (frustration)
#1. Be dedicated. Remember that you wanted this, that you felt called to this, and that you have worked hard for it.
#2. Care for Yourself. You can't give from a well that is not full... you will have things pulling you. You have many years to be employed later, don't let it get in the way.
#3. Care for each other.
#4. Be positive and be grateful.
#5. Pay attention to life lessons! Ope your eyes and look at people and what works for the team
#6. Be an adult learner. Go after info as you need it, be proactive about it.
#7. Be safe. PPE, Back.
#8. Get to know your professors
#9. Remember who you are, and who you can ask for help. HF watns you to take care of your children. There are times when you just don't know the answer.
#10. Endure to the end. This flies by like a flash!

- Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis*. A absolute MUST read. Got to kinda muscle your way through the beginning, but it is so worth it! Especially the chapter on Pride.
- His Majesty: George Washington, by Joseph J Ellis*. Really interesting read, although I feel like he tries a little to hard to be "unbiased." It's George Washington for pete's sake! Lets just all accept that he was the man, and leave it at that.
- Anthem, by Ayn Rand. Also a must read. Really short. Trippy as mess.
- Drive, An Autobiography by Larry H Miller*. Loved it, not boring, the end drags out a little bit though
- How to Win Friends and Influence People, Andrew Carnagie. Super old, super duper interesting. Loved it. Just a short read.
- Freakanomics: A Rogue Economist explores the hidden side of everything, by Steven D. Levitt. Kinda fun, and or boring, depending on whether or not you like random facts, but I happen to know that you do.
- Colonel Roosevelt by Edmund Morris. VERY LONG. Kinda slow, still such a good book. I had no idea Teddy Roosevelt had such an insane life.
- The Alchemist, by Paublo Coelho. Really short fiction book, but it has a lot of really deep points. I love it.
- The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis*. This book is a riot, and so interesting, short read.
- The Hobbit, J.R.R Tolkien*. You have till december to read this, or.. I don't know. It just seems wrong.
- 1984, by George Orwell. Terrifying. Gave me nightmares.
- Jesus the Christ, James E. Talmage. Life changing.
- Adams v. Jefferson, The tumultuous election of 1800 by John Ferling. Kinda boring, but still a really good read.
- Democracy in America, By Alexis de Tocqeuville. I would recommend an abridged version, but still really good.
- Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. HUGE book, but really really interesting, so far at least.
- The Chosen, by Chaim Potok.
- I haven't read this yet, but I'm about to, and my uncle highly recommended it. Outliers The story of Success, by Malcolm Gladwell.

A year ago this month, I was getting ready to leave USU for good.
As anyone who attends USU knows, becoming a True Aggie is somewhat of a token of pride. (If you care about that sort of thing. Which I happen to know that I do.)
Here's how it works: There is an "A" pedestal on campus, and in order to become a true aggie, one must stand atop the "A" under the full moon at midnight, and pucker up for someone else who has already become a true-aggie. So one passes on the ritualistic tradition to another. (And then you get a little card, to make things official. I pretty much did it for the card... just like I only ran my half-marathon for the t-shirt. Let's move on.)
Well, I was about to leave USU forever. And I wasn't going to leave it empty-handed. I mean come on. I wasn't about to go grow up and eventually tell my kids that I went to Utah State for two years and didn't come out a True Aggie! I lived a little, thank you very much! I had fun in college! It wasn't just spent pulling my hair out at the library! That is what I will tell my children, and they will believe me. It will be a powerful life-lesson for all.
So April rolled around. I had been on several dates, and they were all... just.. no. Nobody I was really dying to lock lips with. If you want to hear some funny stories, ask Mal, I was a total wreck that semester.
Feast or famine, ladies and gentlemen. Finally, it was my last month at USU, and it was time to take action. Some people just show up to true-ag night and kiss some random stranger. I wouldn't put it past myself to do that, but I am also not really ready to jump on the Epstein-Barr-bandwagon (that is just a fancy name for mono).
Luckily, I had a good friend who learned of my predicament and kindly offered his...services (ha, ha).
(Things got a little complicated when some random guy decided to ask me out that night...
I had been planning true-ag night for a month, you guys. It was serious business. But of course I wanted to go on the date, so... I simply told the guy I needed to end it early.
I believe he was under the impression that I was going to go home and study for an upcoming test afterwards? Not intentional)
Awkward moment #1: Seeing the date-ee that I ditched, at True Aggie night. Woops.
Anyway we got there. I envisioned it to be all...I don't know... classy? Soft moonlight, starry sky, kiss.. great.
Well... whatever. It was definitely not classy.
I knew my anticipation was wrong as soon as I saw the tacky wal-mart twinkle lights. Blegh.
There was no soft moonlight, in fact, there was just the opposite: bright stage-lights. Everywhere!
And there was a huuuuge line for the "A." So many people. So much tackiness in one place.
So not waiting in that.
Midnight approaches. I am fine.
Suddenly everyone starts counting down! (tacky again!) Suddenly I am not fine.
You guys, I totally froze. I started freaking out. There were people everywhere, but fella and I were just standing in this huge open area under the blaring lights, and I felt like everyone and their dog were staring at us. The rest is kind of a blur, because I honestly had no idea what to do.
Well, as soon as midnight struck of course fella knew what to do and promptly kissed me and that was that. All things returned to normal, I got my card, and we went home. Anticlimactic? Maybe. Worth it? Definitely.
I must say that experience was just..memorable. To say the least. And now I have my official card, so it's all good, and I am content. Also, mom, don't look him up. He's married now. haha
So if you want to be a True Aggie? My two cents? Just do it. Everybody loves kissing. You burn like 6 calories a minute when you are kissing. It's just a win-win for all. Just go into it prepared, though. Realize that it is kind of for the experience, and it is definitely not sophisticated or romantic or any other such adjectives. Mazel Tov to you all. You only live once, so get out there and do something about it :)

| This is what I was envisioning, except perhaps with a popped foot for dramatic effect. Classy, right? Just look at that dress. |

| Winner! |
It's that time again. FINALS WEEK! [Insert sarcastic enthusiasm here]
This statement to me pretty much sums it up:
[Britney, my roommie, to me today]
"So... your mental state is kind of scaring me."
Well, yeah. It's scaring me, too.
It is common knowledge among my friends that I sort of am an.... interesting person when I sleep.
Last semester, I took up swearing in german in my sleep (details here.)
This semester I am apparently just crying. Awesome.
(Seriously my husband is going to have to have a wicked sense of humor to deal with my sleeping problems.)
Anyway, I later related this news to my old roommate, Ashley:
[me] "So... roomie says I am crying in my sleep lately--
apparently I have some serious, deeply buried psychological issues."
[Ash] "I'd be worried if you didn't have deeeeep psychological issues.
Otherwise, you'd be boring, and you'd go to the celestial kingdom
which doesn't have carbs.
Frightful place....."
I probably laughed for a good six minutes on that one.
You guys. I am surrounded by hilarious people. They have gotten me through what has quite possibly been the craziest ride of my life (aka the past 365 days).
Tomorrow, I will finish up my last two finals and be FINISHED. DONE. My first year of NURSING SCHOOL will be behind me, and I will only have 4 semesters left.
Glad I could enjoy a little humor from those around me while I completely lose my mind. Six finals will do that to you (I know, I know, woe is me, right....)
I'll come back to humanity and sanity (hopefully) in about sixteen hours.
Until then....
Have a good day!
And enjoy this ridiculous video that of course has nothing to do with anything, really (make it to 1:21....it is my favorite part)
