The Gum Tree for 2004 August 27

I arose today and left about 7:00 a.m. to go to play some basketball and at that time Kristen was just about ready to go to the hospital. She is now there and we are just waiting for the word to go and see the little bambina. I hope that everything moves smoothly. I am also getting ready for a canoeing trip up to Salt Lake City's Antelope Island. The Scouts are excited to go there, and I think that we will have a good time. The weather lately has been sunny and cool with short bursts of wind. It will be a cold night, and I will have to pack my cold weather bag and clothes. We hope to do some swimming as well. Well, School has come once again. I always feel that Fall semester is my best semester. I think my Fall GPA is a whole 0.1 point above my winter semester's GPA, and I hope that those facts carry me through this semester. I am taking three medical school level classes, and if I am able to ace those, it will look very favorable on my applications. I learned from my not having taken all the AP classes that I could have taken in high school. The better prepared I will be the better it will be for my schooling. By all accounts I am optimistic about this next year. There will be adventures galore. Thanksgiving will be a treat going to San Antonio, and just 9 days after that the end of fall semester will come. Christmas will also prove to be very enjoyable as we will probably spend it with Russ and Geneal. I think that a little skiing and Playing in the Snow are in order for this winter which will probably be our last White Winter for a long time. In Febuary we will probably go to D.C. again for Washington Seminar, and then the glory of graduation. Louise's Parents will be in town for that, and then we shall see where we decide to move. The only thing for me, however, is that I need to keep up the work, and work hard in order to make the grade and succeed in my future plans.
