HP 7 part 2

Will and I braved the crowds and went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 at midnight on Thursday. We went with a bunch of friends from the branch. The movie was action packed! We left to stand in line at 9pm. We made goblin gold (caramel popcorn) and chocolate covered snitches (rolo cookies) to make the wait more bearable. I had class all day Friday - it was long, but I survived - even managed not to fall asleep. We're glad this was the last Harry Potter movie as we decided it was our last midnight movie. This decision was reached when I asked Will what time we could go to bed on Friday night - it wasn't even 7pm yet.

PA school

PA school is great! It's been two weeks, we've had two tests - I passed both of them. I think it's safe to say we're off to a good start. I'm in class from 8 to 5 most days and then I study at home at night. So far we've learned to skin, hair & nails exam, vital signs, and HEENT (Head, Ears, Eyes, Nose and Throat). It's too bad I can't make it to the Passey family reunion this week - there would be so many people to practice on. Luckily my parents came down yesterday and spent a fun weekend with Will and I. I was able to take Dad up the aerial tram to school and Mom and I picked out new glasses for me. After picking Will up from work, we all headed to dinner and a lovely stroll around the Portland Rose Garden - which was stunning. To finish off the night, they all served as practice patients while I practiced the exam skills I will be tested on for Tuesday. I think life is off to a pretty great start here in Portland!
