well, the semester is back in full swing...only this time, it's my last one. ack! i mean, technically, i'm hoping to get into grad school for the fall, so i won't *really* be done...but on may 17th, 2003, i will be the proud owner of a bachelors in natural resources management and engineering, and a bachelors in animal science. i've worked my butt off for the past 5 years, and i'm finally going to have something to really show for it.
classes this semsester: GIS (geographic information systems), lab animal science, physics, natural resources seminar, and animal science seminar. i get to do real live surgery for lab animal--administering anesthesia, the whole shebang. so that should be neat. bummed about GIS, though...i really wanted to learn how to use the total station (those tripod looking things you always see surveyors using), but since only 6 people are allowed, they don't teach it during class time. they teach it on saturday mornings. and guess who works every single saturday morning? you betcha. me. so it's hand-held GPS units for me, baby.
i got my unmotivated arse in gear and actually went to the gym after work tonight. i cannot even tell you the difference my inhaler makes. i feel like a marathon runner. well, maybe not...but relatively speaking... at any rate, it's a vast improvement from pre-inhaler krista trying to run. and it was incredible in patagonia, being able to go hiking and not be the breathless wheezer in the back. it probably should have dawned on me a little earlier, eh?

oh, and here's a bit of happiness: i made deans list again last semester! hoo-hah! :D

...needing to do my physics homework now...
