A Time to Study, A Time to Relax

One more Performance Evaluation passed and one step closer to completing this course. It was not quite as difficult as the first one, but I knew how it all worked this time. Still, there is stress in knowing that I cannot miss anything. I cannot say it was the smoothest execution, but that grace in examination comes in time, not by memorizing the exam. We now move on to HENT (Head, Ears, Nose and Throat). Although it is a complicated process, it can always be broken down to manageable parts. At least that is how I figure it all out. There are many lessons left to learn, and many hours of studying left. So I still must be diligent. I am looking forward to Puerto Rico, it will be a great adventure. I can say that it will probably be good for the blog as well.

In the meantime, I have spent some time with family, played some soccer and spend a very relaxing weekend in South Lake Tahoe with Amy. I have not spent to much time with family, but that is the drawback of a very active family. They are not always home when I am available to be there. It has lead to a very good life, so I find myself grateful for an adventurous family.

For base relaxation we have an HS plus some soccer team. We are not to picky about who plays on our team or who we play against. It is for fun, although some people take it very seriously, but that happens no matter what you do. I enjoy it, I get to run around and chase a ball. My ball handling skills have improved, but like most things I still have a lot of practice to be any good at the sport. Puerto Rico may be a good remedy for that problem.

The most relaxing trip was to South Lake Tahoe. Believe it or not, I went to Tahoe and did not have the jitters to be active the whole time. We went up there and had some food, checked out the casinos, relaxed and relaxed some more. The place we stayed out had a very beautiful but interesting view into Nevada. It is a strange sensation to be in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and look into a vast expanse of flatness. I suppose it gave some perspective on how the original settlers felt when they saw the mountains rise before them. The area up there is beautiful once you get away from the casinos. On the way home, we took Highway 50 and it was absolutely gorgeous with waterfalls coming down the rock face the highway is carved into. It was raining and the roads were wet, which made for a fun drive home. Call me crazy, but I like adverse weather. The river was running very high filling the drainage built into the road. I would have taken some photos, but there was not a safe place to pull over or set the camera up. If you want to see it you will just have to see Lake Tahoe.

So overall, life is great. Until I write again, Have a wonderful day and Enjoy Every Moment.
