Christmas Vacation 2012

It starts Wednesday. I'm so flipping excited!

I decided to take a study break and come back to my blog to write a little bit about what I've been up to these past three months.

October was a good month. I dressed up like a giraffe for Halloween, went home for a weekend to visit with my family and Becky, and did not much else.

November brought Thanksgiving and a great visit with my family. We had our dinner with Aunt Maria and Pery who has come to Houston to live with us. We went to see the new Lincoln movie after dinner. Pretty cool. The following evening, we went to dinner at Kona Grill and saw Ana Karenina at River Oaks Theatre. Afterwards, we got froyo at Pinkberry and went to see the lights on Post Oak. The following day, I flew back to Kingsville.

This month has been rather hectic with giving final exams to the Biology and A&P classes. They know absolutely nothing. Mark my words, I will definitely be seeing some of those students again as they will have to repeat two of the easiest science classes ever because of their laziness. I can only hope they put as much effort into their studies next semester as they did on planning their new tattoos. That literally happened one day. What Chinese lettering and tribal markings have to do with dense connective tissues, adipose tissue and keratinocytes I have NO idea.

Friday we had the annual Biology departmental Christmas party at Dr. Galloway's apartment. It was fun and we all participated in dinner, drinking, white elephant gift exchange, and much merriment. I ended up with a door sign that I left behind because I wasn't a big fan of it. Oh well.

This past weekend has been dedicated to getting as much sleep as possible and also getting my embryology studying done. Wednesday I have my only two finals, then I pack up Lucius and head home to Houston for a month.

I am so excited to get my Christmas/Apocalypse/Birthday fun times on... woohoo!

Okay, study break over. I guess I might take a bit more time off to get in a workout. Meh. Okay... stay classy, Narvaezes :)
