Explanation

That's right, I haven't been updating. Here's why. (If you want the short sweet version, skip to the last paragraph.)

I'm applying to graduate school. PA (Physician Assistant) programs to be exact. I'm getting my master's degree so that when I graduate I can get a full time job and support us so that Jerry can finally go and finish school. Oh, and it's kinda what I want to do anyway. Now, you may think that there's not a ton involved in applying to grad school (for those who haven't), and that may be true for some (who got good enough grades the first time through their classes). Seeing as how I didn't do horrifically stellar, I've had some courses to retake to be eligible to apply. So, the things for me involved in applying for me have included the following:

A) Retaking Psychology 111 (via independent study at BYU) in approximately two months

B) Retaking Chem 121 (via distance ed at Oregon State University) "spring semester" that just ended June 6th.

C) Studying for the GRE (which I'll be taking on Friday).

D) Filling out the central PA school application, along with the supplemental applications of all the schools to which I wish to apply.

So, it's been involved, and really stressing/overwhelming. On top of all of it I'm the Primary secretary and ward camp director (camp's next week), I've been training for Race for the Cure (which was June 4th, and I finished in 35:45-my fastest time for a 5K), and for a sprint triathlon that is this coming weekend (300 yard swim, 11 mile bike ride, and a 5K) that my dad, Jer, and I are doing. I'm also now battling a sinus infection that the nurse practitioner swears is only allergies that caused a viral thing and that I shouldn't even be taking antibiotics. But she prescribed them anyway, and I'll be darned if I'm not going to take them so as to be able to make it through said sprint triathlon on Saturday.

So the long and the short is, I've been busy, and when I'm busy I take fewer pictures. Look for some at the end of June/beginning of July.
