My brain is fried...


But this semester is finally over!!!


(This is me holding a human brain during my anatomy lab. The last hour of lab today we spent looking at the cadavers. Notice how the eyeballs are still attached. Soo neat! This was definitly my favorite part of anatomy.)



This brain still had the spinal cord attached. And the box of brains is sitting on top of Mr. Cadaver.

Today has been a very successful day, which has made me very happy!
3 classes done
3 more to go!
I love making check lists and being able to cross everything off.
And also, I bought my plane ticket home today! I will be flying home next wednesday the 29th from Vegas, which means I will be going to St. George to visit for a few days! I plan on leaving Rexburg on Saturday once I get everything packed and clean. I am very excited to have a little vacation before going back home to work, so if anyone is doing anything fun those few days I will be down there please let me know!

Bike Rides and Fireworks

Soo I still have some fun photos from when Dallin came to visit, but I have been so busy that I haven't really found time to post them up.
So to flash back two weeks ago... Friday afternoon after we got home from camping Dallin and I were really tired so we showered and took a little nap. Then we went to eat some chinese food and spent the rest of the night enjoying Rexburg.
We first drove out to an empty field to shoot off some fireworks to kick start the fourth.











After we shot off fireworks we went to get sno cones and then decided to go on a bike ride. We rode out to this big tree and climbed to the top. It was like we were kids again, we had so much fun!
After our little bike riding adventure we went back to my place and watched a movie and crashed.
I did not take any pictures the next day for the fourth of July so I will quickly just talk about it. In the afternoon we went to the lake and relaxed in the sun. Then that night we went up to Idaho Falls with some of my friends to watch the fireworks show up by the temple. It was a really big show and there were tons of people there. It was alot of fun and a great way to spend our last night together in Idaho.
Thanks for coming to visit me Dallin! I can't wait till you come back again!

Finals

Ahhh! I feel like I am so close to the end, yet I still have soo much to do in this last week of school! Tomorow I have three more muscle exams I have to take for anatomy, as well as a the neurophysiology exam (thank goodness this one is take home!). Then I need to finish my final assignment for my computer class, take my first aid final, two more quizzes for my health science-program planning and implemation class, a paper for D&C and my final dance for jazz. Phew! Then after that I need to pack, clean, and figure out how I am going to get home. Not only that, but I also need to some how find time to enjoy my last week in Rexburg until 2010. One week is a sufficient amount of time to accomplish all of this...right?!

Yellowstone- Part II

Okay, as promised here are more pictures from our Yellowstone adventure.

After we did some tourists things, we went to our campsite and did the camping thing.


We made tinfoil dinners


They were really delicious


Dallin enjoyed the campfire


After dinner we went on a hike to the lake and enjoyed the sunset.





And we found a campsite that got destroyed by a flood.

Besides the fact that we didn't get to see any bears, yellowstone turned out to be everything we could have ever imagined!

Yellowstone- Part I



Day 2 of Dallin's visit we went to Yellowstone! A couple of my friends were going up to Yellowstone to go camping and since neither myself nor Dallin has ever been up there, we decided to tag along. We had a ton of fun and got to see some of the most beautiful sites ever! We drove up there early in the morning so we could go check out some of the sweet sites and explore a little.
First we went and saw some geysers...






And we even saw 'Old Faithful'

This was before old faithful blew up...
And this is after


Then we stopped to enjoy the scenary


And saw some buffalo


Then we hiked down to this beautiful canyon to see some waterfalls


Told you...Beautiful!


The waterfalls...





And finally, me and my brother!

Stay tuned for more!

Ice Caves

So Dallin came to visit me this weekend! I was really excited to show him around Idaho and show him all the fun things to do here. The first day he was here was the last day I had classes, so he was a sport and came with me to my classes. Afterwards we walked around Rexburg for a little bit then me up with some of my friends to go to the ice caves. The ice caves are basically what they sound like. We had to climb down into a cave and crawl/slide through the ice until we got to the end. It was an adventure and we had alot of fun pushing eachother through.






These were the caves that we had to walk down to get to the ice.



They were out in the middle of no where

I would have taken pictures inside of the ice caves, but it was really dark and slippery inside so I didn't want to bring my camera, but I hope you get the idea!
