Wow, it's been about 281 hours since my lag entry. I am slacking off. Now, even
matt is updating more frequently. Anyway, life has been good. Sex week is over, so I am back to my sheltered little world. Well, except for the fact that I am still living with lacey "appearances are deceiving" jones, who delights in scandalizing me. I have been trying to get matt to wear
boxers, but he seems unconvinced. Not like I want to have kids right now, but I am just trying to watch out for him.
On a less uncomfortable note, spring break is in less than a week! yay! I have a dentist appt, a doctors appt, meeting with the reception site, the caterer, the florist, and the pastor, an engagement party, and I need (NEED) to get out to
the barn. I am so excited that Linda is engaged now too!
If anyone was upset by the boxers comment, leave a message. :)

I love being a bio major. All we ever talk about is sex. In genetics, we were talking on Monday about this trait called
Klinefelter syndrome, a genetic trait caused by XXY chromosomes, with all of the interesting pictures Dr. Chaney had found on the internet to show us. Then this week in developmental, we are studying fertilization. We got to extract gametes from sea urchins in lab (by injecting their gonads with potassium chloride, you cause them to pump out sperm and eggs) and hand-fertilize the eggs. Our groups project was to check on the eggs every 2 hours to see how many fertilized, as well as watching the embryos grow and form. It was so beautiful, just looking under a microscope at something actually becoming greater then the sum of its parts while you watch. It definitely made me stand in awe of the God who figured all of this out. Anyway, in the class part of devmen bio we got to sit for an hour today and listen to him talk about sperm formation and fertilization, which is always exciting. Then, in animal physiology, we are talking about functions of blood, and Dr. Mike had a great time explaining to us the hydraulic mechanism for penile erection. 3 classes, three different sex talks. In addition to all of this, it is Sexuality Awareness week at Whitworth, so everyone around me is talking about this discussion of forum they went to about the sex trade or masturbation or sexual orientation or whatever. I am swamped.
In other news, its snowing here, which is sad because I thought we were starting spring. Such key words such as "Spring semester" or "spring break" or "Peeps" are messing up my inner calendar, I guess. There is less than 6 months until
the wedding, which is exciting. Other than sleep deprivation, I am well and happy, but I would definitely be better if you left a comment!

Alright, as
AJ correctly pointed out, the "tomorrow" in that last blog stretched out a few days. The genetics test was doom (it was a 9 page, 4 hour long test that was not a midterm OR a final!), but I think I did okay. Actually, I saw my genetics prof in Borders last night, and she assures me that she remembered putting no lower than a 50% in her gradebook. How reassuring. On Friday, I took the first animal phys test (also doom- 3 essays- 3 pages each- in 55 minutes), and then started the riveting weekend. On Friday evening, I was part of a developmental biology study party in the science library until 8:30 p.m. (for emphasis, I will restate that this was a FRIDAY NIGHT). I then went to see The Passion (see
Matt's blog for a commentary) and fell asleep about one a.m.. Saturday morning, I woke up at 9 and proceeded to study for the developmental test on Monday from 9:30 am Saturday until 1:31 a.m. Sunday! I took a 1.5 hour break for dinner, but still. Today, I woke up at 6:30 a.m., went to church from 8:15 to 10:00, then came home and studied until 6:30 p.m.. I am about ready to kill myself, but I still need to study a bunch more.
Probably the most frustrating thing is that
Andrew Seely is in town this weekend and only this weekend. I got to pick him up at the airport on Friday, and I have not seen him once since then. Dump! I was so excited to have him up here, too.
On the up side, I just had an amazing talk with
my brother. He went to see The Passion, and he called me to talk about it. He said that it really helped him put some ideas about Christ and his sacrifice into perspective. I love him so much. I pray for him, that he will seek God in his life. He is getting out of
the army in about a month, but in the meantime they are making his life really crappy. So pray for him, that God would be his sustainer during these trials.
Alright, back to work. But if anyone feels the burning desire to call me or write me to say hello, feel free!
