Subject: Some time to relax

Hello everyone,

Only on week left! This all continues to be amazing and really out of  
this world. However, it is getting long and I am getting ready to head  
home. Yesterday should be a good example.

We had the day off to relax and study before our test\quiz we had  
today (Monday). We got to go to an awesome English speaking  
international church Saturday night. Sunday morning we did a little  
shoppig then relaxed for a while then studied. Then Ben, Josh, Debbie  
and I decided we wanted a break from hotel food and with the help of  
the Hotel Concierge we ordered two pizzas from Little Caesars. We  
couldn't order drinks but the Concierge told us about a super market  
that is under ten minutes away from the Ramada. We walked there  
together and then, for the first time in a month, I set foot in a  
supermarket. It was like Christmas. We bought all the junk food. Soda,  
chips, cookies and of course chocolate. There has been a lot of great  
food but the chocolate especially has been missing. The whole  
experience was so rejuvinating.

After that we had a power study session which was really pretty  
excellent then we went to bed.

Today we had the quiz which did go very well even though it was tough  
to ajust to a professor different from Dr. Phillips    . The rest of  
the day will be spent in lectures. Tomorrow we are going south for  
four days. It sounds like there is going to be some really cool stuff  
including seeing Petra!

I hope that everything is well state side and I will be back there  
soon. I am excited to catch up.

Love
Lauren

  1. Oh Laurenee: you are so funny... I must admit that a chocolateless world is one that is quite lack-luster... glad for you that you got some good stuff:) Things have been a lil knarley here...Kev's knee is giving him trouble and he has been referred to an orthopedic doctor who took an x-ray today and presently (8:45 p.m. he is getting an mri at DHAC). Looks like the Omaha trip is off but we'll make final decision together over the next day or so. Other than that, things are good. Busy and normal. EXCEPT you are right, it is just getting too long. Can't wait to chat. Luv, Luv, Mum
