Back to life, back to reality....

     So, classes started. Woooo. I know that we're blessed to have the opportunity to get such an amazing education but, I really can't wait for it to be over. Really. Can't. Wait. Not because I'm sick of taking classes that are semi-depressing but, I'm ready to start my life (so to speak).  This semester I'm taking:  Advanced Adolescent Development (focus on the study of adolescence. Because, let's face it- adolescence is an awesome time of life -enter sarcasm here-). Families in Poverty (another up-lifting course -again with the sarcasm-) and Astronomy. And of course, my internship and the course work that goes with that. I'm just thankful that this is it and I'm done. 
     John is taking: Cell Biology (which I thought sounded kind of cool but as soon as I see him after this class he says, "Man, I almost fell asleep!" so I'm assuming it's not as cool as it sounds.), Ecology (so far he likes it! This is good because he went into the semester hearing horror stories about its level of difficulty.) and last but not least Abnormal Psychology (this one interests him too!) and of course, he's working on his internship at the hospital! 
     John took the GRE this past weekend and says it was brutal! The test was about 4 hours long and it was also the "new GRE" which is supposed to be slightly more difficult. Poor guy had been studying 24-7 the first week of school. We'll see how he did in November and hope for the best! Worst case scenario: he'll retake the exam after the Wedding and we'll hang out for another year or so. I'm proud of him regardless. I can't wait to marry him. :)
     This weekend we will be heading down to Oregon to go to the fair and visit with John's mom, Karlene and his Aunt Roba. We're excited A) Because being with family is always a good time and B) We are purchasing a wooden sign at the fair that says, "The Robertsons Est. 2012" :)  I get so tickled when John calls me "Mrs. Robertson." Did I mention that I can't wait to marry him?
    I've decided that I need to take more pictures and post them because, words can get boring. I'm saying this so that I can be held accountable. Next week I WILL have pictures from the fair and I WILL post them! :)
