"Ways to Manage Pre-Test Anxiety"

1.  75 push ups @ intervals of 25

2. 100 air squats @ intervals of 50

3.  Turkey bacon, water melon, train mix, and peanut butter and jelly

4. PRAY!  

     So I am writing to say that thing went fairly well on the first Mini.  Thank you all of you who were praying.  During the test I felt at peace and I felt focused which were both things I asked God for beforehand.  Thanks to Briana, I had an amazing lunch and a lot of help with flashcards.  The test itself was 120 questions in the subjects of enzymatic rxns, DNA Replication 
Transcription and Translation, Chromosomal Disorders, DNA mutation, HIV reverse transcriptase infection and its components, cultural competency, prevalence vs incidence of injuries, anatomy, injury types in anatomy we've studied thus far, cell biology, the nervous system and amino acids.  It was a lot, to say the least.  We'll see how I did.  

     Afterword, we went over to our friend's Josh and Allison's place for Cajun food: jambalaya and creole-style potatos.  It was awesome.  Had some beers, watched some football and called it a night.  

     I am so thankful for the ways you all are journeying with me and I am grateful to the Holy Spirit for going with me each step of the way.  That's all for now.  Thanks for reading.
