One more week to go!

This last week was pretty rough. We were in class from 8-5 every day. That is a lot of lectures! We have three classes in this 2 week period and so our midterm is tomorrow and we have three group projects and two presentations and one other assignment. When do they think we have time to do these? One of the guest lecturers tried to give us a group paper to write. That didn't go over very well. The students kept saying, "It's not in the syllabus..." I kind of felt bad for the lecturer. Everyone was against her!!! I tried real hard to study yesterday but it was so hot!! I am amazed out how the heat can drain the energy right out of you. All I wanted to do was sleep. I am going to wake up nice and early tomorrow when it is still relatively cool and hopefully get some studying done. After this next week I will be done with classes and just need to finish clinicals. I am going to the hospital by Aunt Lauryl this semester. I will be doing 4 weeks of 12 hour shifts so I am thinking that I might stay at her place some of those days so I can get more sleep and save some gas!
The high today was 106. I thought I was going to die! I can't stop sweating. I feel pretty gross all the time. At least when I have class, the building is nice and air conditioned. My garden is getting big. I picked my first ripe tomato today. I have decided that it is pretty fun to grow your own food.
We had a really nice sacrament meeting today. All the talks were really good. My favorite was Andrew. He has been in our ward for one semester. He leaves tomorrow to go to the MTC. He is going to New York City, Cantonese speaking. He is Chinese and already knows the language. I am assuming that he has been a member now for a year. He gave a really good talk. I can't remember specific things he said but I remember how I felt as he was talking. I understand now what people mean when they say someone is glowing with the spirit. He just radiates happiness. He will be an awesome missionary. He is the only member in his family. In Relief Society, we had two new girls. They are both here studying at the university for the summer as part of an exchange program. One of the girls is from Sonora, Mexico and the other is from La Paz, Bolivia. It is her first time in the US. My friend Elizabeth talked to them in spanish while I listened. I did speak to them a little bit in spanish. They don't have a vehicle and they didn't get very good directions to the church but they still made it. Elizabeth and I are going to start to pick them up for church. I wouldn't want to make anyone walk as far as they would have to in the miserable heat.
Well it is time for me to go to bed. I now check my bed thoroughly before getting in because I had a scorpion on my bed the other night. Yikes! I caught it and then took it outside and killed it.
