First off, just wanted to brag a little because my first two exams for Optometry school went really well!! I have plenty more exams to go, but that was definitely a good start. Optics is next, which is my favorite class so far.

I just found out that my cousin Matt is coming to visit me this weekend. He is home on leave from Iraq and is more than deserving of a vacation. He is going to fly in on Thurs and out on Sunday. It worked out pretty well because all of my hardest exams will be done with by then and I will actually have a chance to show him around the island. (Not that I really know where to go yet. I still haven't been here all that long myself.) Either way, it should be a great time!!! It has been a year or two since I have seen him which is much too long. I wish his brother, Cody could come too.

P.S. Are the Packers or the Eagles going to have a team left after this season opener? Easy on the injuries, it is only the first game of the season. Yikes!
