Today's Ramblings

So it's almost 10:30 and we've been told all day that there is a possibility of snow tomorrow. Being a Texan that's a bit exciting! That's all I have to say about that!

Anyways, went to my first Pharmacology seminar today and fell in love! Our bodies are amazing! Did you know that our liver metabolizes a lot of drugs that enter out system? Did you also know that grapefruit reduces the livers ability to metabolize? Knowing the answer to these two questions explains why doctors tell us not to drink or eat grapefruit while taking medication!

On a different note... If my calculations are correct it has now been a year since Jeremy and Alex's MOTHER has tried to reach them. It sounds sad but in all honesty here is how it looks to me... There wasn't a single time this year I had to sit and watch my daughter cry because her mother "promised" I didn't have to watch her sit at the door or stay home from friends house waiting on a phone call or visit! I didn't have to watch my son cry because again his mother showed up and didn't want anything to do with him. I didn't have to sneak out and hunt for things to give them so I can write "from mommy" on because again she let them down. Alex is blossoming more and more each day, coming out of that shell she used to hide in. Jeremy, I don't have enough words to express how proud I am of him. He has become such a strong young man in many ways, emotionally, physically, academically, better than you could imagine. 

Okay, it's time for bed now, gotta get a little more reading in before I go to sleep. Goodnight all!

New Term Started This Morning!

Well here I am beginning term 5 at Kaplan, with two new classes and lots of material to cover I'm sure I will be busy! Both of my classes, College Composition II and Pharmacology look rather intimidating, this just means I will have to work harder for my A this term. I let my CGPA drop to a 3.9 last term so I have created myself a schedule and set aside time to study with my bff, hopefully classmates will be interested in study groups or something of the like. I have to keep myself on track and focused, this seems to be the biggest weakness I will have to overcome.
