October 13

Studying massage therapy has been a rollercoaster ride. And I'm not so fond of rollercoasters. At first, the simple act of studying was tough. Then, we started A& P and it got so much harder. I have spent lots of years not using my brain outside it's simplest boundaries.

Every time we have Anatomoy and Physiology, I feel like the world's biggest idiot. But, once I remember I'm not stupid, just having a hard time, I feel so much better about it all. I know I will make it through this, somehow...

The travelling to Great Falls for class has been it's own challenge. Financial and emotional. For the last 4 1/2 months I have not been home for my weekends. I am very satisfied to stay home when I get the chance! It's been a treat to spend time with my Aunt Eileen. We have wonderful visits and she like to take care of me for the night.

Yesterday when I came home it was snowing- huge snowflakes coming heavy just before I enterd the north end of Wolf Creek canyon. The road was only wet, not slushy, and I got lost in the snowflakes. I will be 80 years old and will still look at giant snowflakes with the wonder of a child.

I find it funny that I don't have the road memorized yet. I am not sure what's around each corner while I drive down or back. I'm always surprised when I make it to the Dearborn exit, it seems to pop up out of nowhere. That's really unlike me. But, I suppose I'm a bit distracted while driving that road. There's always something going on in my mind.
