Back in Michigan

First off, a huge Happy Birthday to my mom! Wish I could be there to celebrate with you. Love you!

Well, I am back in Michigan and boy is it cold. It is supposed to warm up a bit this week though and the weather app says it will be 50ยบ on Saturday (though it will also be raining so that stinks). My trip back here was fine. I was an hour delayed out of Salt Lake City on my layover due to mechanical problems, but I got to Detroit with few problems otherwise and took a cab back to my apartment since there is no other form of transportation to Ann Arbor possible from the airport at midnight. There is a lot of snow on the ground here, which is very different than when I left, but pretty cool.

Yesterday I slept in (oops, so much for time zone adjustment) and then spent the day unpacking (yes I am already unpacked, it's a miracle!) and getting things ready to start school again. I decided to set up my iPad to try and take my notes on it instead of on paper this sequence, so I downloaded Notability and got everything ready to do that. I got to the grocery store and stocked up on some food that isn't dry pasta and then went to a homemade pizza party at my friend's place (we do that periodically just for fun, and it really is fun!).

Today it was back to class to begin the GI/Liver sequence. I made it to class despite my horrendous time attempting to fall asleep last night (still not adjusted to the time zone) and was successful taking notes on my iPad! It was nice to see everyone again, and surprisingly my brain is way more "on" than it was after coming back from Thanksgiving break. I think it is because this time we came back to a new sequence instead of coming back into the final week of one where we had to study for a huge anatomy practical and a sequence final. Coming back into day 1 of a new class was much easier. Besides class, not much is new out here. Water polo starts Wednesday night and our first tournament is a home tournament in just three weeks! I'm pretty excited!

That's all for now. Off to make dinner, study anatomy for tomorrow, and watch the National Championship game! It's a battle between two evils, so I must decide which is the lesser of the two evils to cheer for. I'm thinking I want the SEC streak to end more than I hate Notre Dame so I may cheer for the Irish as much as it pains me. They beat both Michigan and Stanford this year, so if they win our best loss is better if that makes sense. At least Stanford won the Rose Bowl this season!!
