Surviving

Well, I really should be doing homework, but I'll get to that later I guess. Not much has happened lately with me, but I thought I would make just a quick post. Last week we all had the flu, and it was bad. First Nathan brought it home. Two nights later Chad and Landon had it. The next day Fran and Tanner had it. Then the next night I finally got it. It didn't last very long but it was so horrible. Chad was up with me most of the night because I didn't want to be by myself. (I am such a wuss!...and he is such a good big brother.) I missed school the next two days, but eventually I decided I was going to live. Haha. I think I lost at least 5 pounds, but oh well. The rest of the week was just really long and a little rough at work, but again, I survived. Last night I went to the temple and did baptisms with my branch. It was just what I needed. I love being inside the temple. I forgot my worries and stresses and really felt good for helping these spirits come into the gospel. When I was walking to my car I couldn't stop smiling. I probably didn't smile all week, so it felt really good. Now today I need to buckle down and finish a big assignment. Hopefully it won't take me all day. I have 3 weeks left of clinical and I am counting down the days. I have learned a lot, but I have a 15 page paper and a presentation due at the end that I'm not looking forward to. I really can't wait until my life is NOT consumed by homework. That will be amazing. But in the meantime I am surviving!
