Well, I am feeling runners shame. I have not been running. I hurt my knee (not bad) right as it was getting into the hundred degree weather hear and I have only been running a couple times since. I know I will start when the cool weather starts, but I hate that I have really set my self back. I was probably half way to my goal and now I am back almost at the beginning!

I am almost finished with my summer school class. I have anatomy next semester and I am taking physiology seperatley. I decided to do this because it is harder to take them as a joint class and someone also told me that they are going to stop accepting them tog. for the DH program (which makes sense). So my plans have changed a little. I have 5 classes to take: Intro to bio, Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, Microbiology, Chemistry 3B. After I take these 5 classes I can apply for the DH program. I also have to take a speech class and a sociology class, but I can still apply for the program if I don’t have them. I am so happy I am doing this. I feel like I have such a good future.

Well, my herbs survived. I just never used them to cook with. I got rid of the chives and thyme. The dill did die, but I have heard that dill is really challenging to grow. The tomatoes did very well except that I crowded them into one pot. They grew and produced fruit anyway. The Jasmine is doing wonderfully as were the gladiolas I planted. They bloomed and are now dormant I think. The lupins never produced blooms and I had some sweet peas and morning glories that were victims to the intense heat in the central valley and the fact that I went to Japan and left my dad in charge of watering. The gardinia is iffy. It blooms, but its leaves yellow and it looks like it is not getting enough water. I water it regularly and it looks worse. I don’t know if I am drowning it or if it got overfertalized??? I also planted pumpkins. They seem to be doing well, but with school I sometimes forget to water them.
