Butterflies

School has been keeping me on my toes the last little while. I'm happy to say though things are going very well. I am very happy with the results I have been getting so far, although that has started to make me slack a little bit. I really need to pick up the pace a little if I want to keep up the good work.
I am getting nervous. When ever something fun is going to happen I always get nervous. It has been like that for as long as I can remember, and although I am getting better at suppressing the nerves, they still come. I am typing with butterflies flying through my tummy and chest. Why you ask?!? Well let me tell you. My papa en mama are coming to visit us for three weeks as of tomorrow. I am *so* excited!!! I can hardly wait for it to be tomorrow. I will have to though. I was talking to mama on the phone and she said they were pretty much all packed up and ready to go. Their neighbours are driving them to the airport tomorrow 7:00am their time and then they will travel for over 12 hours to get to us. I cant wait for them to see our nice home and neighborhood, to go shopping with my mom, to have nice food and laughs and talk about when I was little and have them meet some of our friends and got to witnerlude and and and and!!!!! One more sleep!!!
Tomorrow I will first have to write my practical lab exam for my animal form and function class. I wrote the theory part of it on Monday and I think it went well. I have heard horror stories about the practical part though, but I wont listen, I should be fine.
On saturday Alan and I helped our friends batman and her husband j move into their beautiful new home. We had a great time and it is so nice to see our friends so happy with their new place.
On the healthy living front. I have been doing pretty well sticking to eating healthy, except for the last 5 days. I have cheated more than a little bit. Today was my first day back at eating healthy. But it was wonderful to eat some bad food. I am mostly over that craving now and I feel good about eating healthy again. I am feeling really good about myself and the way I eat. Although I am not impressed with my baking skills. I tried making muffins yesterday and they didnt really work out the way I wanted them too... Oh well, practise makes perfect as a wise person told me once.. ok last night after I was angry about wrecked muffins.. They really didnt taste that bad after all. I have started to notice a change in my pants. They fit more comfortably again, and my new clothes are getting a little bit bigger. On the exercise front I have been slacking. I only play soccer once a week, but it is a blast! They team I'm on is a lot of fun and so far with 2 wins and 1 loss we're placed 5th. Not bad at all! Well.. I suppose I should go back to memorizing some animal phyla. Have a good one!

It's so excellent to read your updates since you are...well, updating! More than I can say for myself, that's for sure.

I'm sure you'll have such a nice time visiting with family again, it must be nuts to be away for so long at a time. I'm also glad that they will experience Candian winters and not the pseudo-winters we had earlier in the season. Have fune and good luck with your lab practical! If in doubt, choose zebra. A sure winner.

Aww.. thanks guys! I am really looking forward to tonight!
M: I laughed out loud when I read your advice. Luckily I didnt need to use it, I think I did pretty well. But if ever, Zebra will be the standard!
