Just one week until spring break!! I am SO ready for it. This week, I wrote a small research paper (but research takes me FOREVER). Next week, I have two big homework assignments due as well as a somewhat larger paper. Wow.

So yesterday was the Bone Marrow Drive for our friend Paul… 891 people came!! How wonderful is that? =) I really hope someone finds a match now.

An interesting (and freeeeaky) thing happened when I was feeding my pigs a couple days ago! I have a box of hay (originally it was 50 pounds, we're probably about halfway through it now)… I reached my hand in, grabbed a bunch and put it in their cage. There was dark spot, I thought somehow it was a piece of wood, so I reached in, grabbed it, and just held it in my hand a moment. When I looked down, I realized it was a HUMONGOUS grasshopper! About 2 inches long, and pretty flat (I guess he got crushed when the hay was baled. oops.) Anyway, it caught me off guard, standing there, holding a dead monster grasshopper. I started yelling and Michael thought I was crazy (it was about 7:30 am!). I do find it pretty strange that I can dissect sheep, chickens, etc. without a problem, but if I get caught holding a bug, it's like the world is coming to an end! In my defense, it WAS a gigantic one!

Last night my awesome cousin and some of our friends came over =) We had a fun time telling stories, and they all got to meet Maggie and Juni, finally! And I gave them brownies, which they loved. I feel so good when people like my baking =)

Today I took a 3 hour nap, and I think I could still sleep for another 12. haha! But when I woke up, I had a box to open from my mom-in-law!! She sent me some really really cool jewelry for my birthday.
