Last week was insane but I turned in several papers and a take-home test and am relieved to be done! I can't believe there are only 3 weeks left of the semester, it is INSANE! I am going a little coocoo (?) because I am SO excited to go home for Thanksgiving! I need to finish 2 papers before I leave, then all I'll need to do that weekend is study for comps, which I need a body for anyway so I can study AND spend time with family--perfect!
We went to a huge really cool bar by the Pepsi center last night with some friends to watch Cat/Griz....it was depressing, and the Huskies lost the Apple Cup...more depressing. I should start rooting for a better team. At least USC usually wins!
It is so exciting how much I am going to see family the next few months with all the weddings! It will be insane but definitely worth it :) We did an exercise in class the other day (moving on now ;) ) where we were given patient cases and told to try to deduce the source of the problem based on results of the exam. At first I though "yeah right, we're not ready for this" but after reading through the case it was completely obvious to me what the problem was and how to (generally, not specifically) fix it! I was really excited. It's crazy how much I've learned in only 6 months! it will be incredible to go to clinic and start applying it all, I can't wait! I am so excited to be a physical therapist, I get giddy sometimes :)
Only 3.5 days until the Bombino Thanksgiving!!!!!

Migraine's, holidays and music, oh my!
Hello Family! I don't have class until 10 day (a big scary presentation) but I had a work meeting at 7 and I'm to the point I don't want to look at my presentation for awhile so here I am to blog! haha
So, what is new? I went to the neurologist who said that my terrible headaches I've had for years are actually atypical migraines, and I learned that migraine "attacks" or whatever you want to call them can actually present in ways other than a headache so it might also be the cause of my stomach aches! I was so excited I was jumping of the walls that it might all get better :) He gave me a daily drug that he says ideally will reduce my symptoms 75%. I've only had 2 really bad headaches since I started it a months ago, but it's supposed to take a few weeks to kick in so that might even go down. Also I've been really stressed the past week when I got both of them so that might be part of it. So, I am really happy that one little pill a day could make life happier and less painful :)
I can't believe how much the semester is speeding up, I have a bunch of work the next two weeks, then one short week for Thanksgiving, then we come back and I have basically two weeks of finals. One week of comps and one week of written finals, with a couple classes in the first week. There is so much going on the week after Thanksgiving I don't think I will be able to relax much, but that is OK. We will be home for quite awhile of Christmas and that will be wonderful :) For the first time in YEARS most of the family will be together for "Thanksgiving". Mandi has to go back to work Thursday and we are going to Matthew's parents on the day, so we are having Thanksgiving on Wednesday with Lasagna, yummm.... :) It will be so wonderful to have the holiday with my Mike and Mandi :) Plus, since it's not the holiday yet the kids will be there! :) I'm not sure what their holiday schedule is this year so I suppose they might be there anyway.
Lets see....what else can I ramble on about for 10 minutes....I think that's about all the news actually. I have an exciting race schedule planned out for the next year but that is probably only interesting to me, and maybe Hershal :)
So long, my dear family. I will see most of you very soon :)
P.S. If anyone wants to fly to Denver Matthew and I are playing in a concert on November 19th :) haha, but really....it probably wouldn't be worth it ;)
