Tomorrow I start my last year at New Mexico Tech. In other words, classes begin tomorrow. I'm debating whether or not I'm excited. One minute I will be thinking about the school year and all the fun activities I'm in and the fun classes I will be taking. Then I get overwhelmed at the thought of all the homework and tasks I will be responsible for. This is the time that I am no longer excited about class. Overall, I'm anxious about the school year. This is the year that I have waited for - my last year.
My first class tomorrow is Yoga at 7am in the morning. No, I'm not crazy. It's a wonderful class, and I am usually very wired and awake after class. I then have might 330, immediately followed by Physiology. My last class tomorrow will be TC 420: Senior Seminar. I'm looking forward to this class.
On Wednesday I only have two classes: Philosophy of Medicine and Macroeconomics. They should be simple but very interesting classes. I have no labs this semester. Woo-hoo. Labs suck.
Steve started classes today. He is taking two 3-credit hour classes for his EE masters degree. I can't remember what his classes are, but he told me today that his morning class has the potential of being a very good class. I think overall he is quite disappointed with his graduate school experience, but he's going to stick it out and finish his degree.
So, here we go. One more year of school!

Vacation in Utah
I know it has been such a long time since I have posted. I thought that once the summer arrived that I would have lots of time to post everything that Steve and I have done, but I was wrong. This summer has been incredibly busy, and my motivation to do anything decreased dramatically.
Well, right now, Steve and I are in Moab, Utah. We have been in Utah since Saturday for our end-of-the-summer vacation. It has been a great trip. I have never been to Utah, but Steve has. This trip, however, has been a great experience for both of us.
Saturday we arrived in Snowbird, Utah after driving all day from Aztec, NM. We stayed with my mom and stepdad who are also vacationing in Utah. Snowbird is famous for it's 18+ feet of snow they get in the winter and for their awesome skiing. Obviously, we did not visit Snowbird for the skiing.
Sunday, we spent the whole day in Snowbird exploring their summer activities, which included a zip line, an alpine slide, and a tramride. Steve and I rode the alpine slide three times and the zip line twice. It was so much fun. My mom and Joe just sat and watched us, but they joined us for the Tram ride.
On Monday we took a trip to Salt Lake City. We purchased 2-Day Connect Passes from the Visitor Center which allowed us entry into 12 different attractions, provided a free meal, and offered discounts at participating stores. We were not able to visit all the sites, but we definitely got our monies worth out of it. On Monday, we visited the Clark planetarium, the Living Aquarium, and had lunch at the Lion's House Pantry.
Tuesday was the second day of our Connect Pass. Our first stop was the Hogle Zoo. THis was a great zoo with lots of animal activity. It was a great zoo. I'm not sure if I like the Albuquerque Zoo better or not. Next, we went and ate lunch at this Greek restaurant near the University of Utah, and then we visited the Utah Museum of Natural History.
By Wednesday, we were so tired that we decided to chill out and hang out in Snowbird for the entire day. We slept in and then played around at the resort. We did, however, take a trip down to Sandy, Utah for dinner. We had some wonderful sushi at Mikamoti Japanese restaurant.My mom and Joe fell in love with the Mt. Fuji roll.
That brings us to today. Steve and I left my parents in Snowbird this morning and headed to Moab, Utah. We will be here until Sunday. Tomorrow we are visiting the canyonlands, and then on Saturday we will visit Arches National Park. I'm excited. I've never seen either one of them, and am looking forward to visiting them.
I will (hopefully) blog about our trips to the parks. Right now I am being beckoned to go to bed. We are getting an early start tomorrow to beat the heat and the crowd at Canyonlands National Park.
