School = No Blogging

Well, I see there is a direct correlation between school starting up and the amount of blogs that are posted. hehehe. This quarter is going well. Organic chemistry doesn't seem like it is going to be too hard. A lot different then Inorganic. Anatomy and Physiology II is going pretty darn good. Had a test on Monday in which I had to write the pathways of Glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, Krebs, and lactate fermentation. Instructor gave us several blank pieces paper to draw them out. Luckily we didn't have to put the enzymes that were active for each step. We have a test tomorrow on metabolism and intercellular messengers. Oh how fun!

Hayden started basketball practice this past week. He is not a very coordinated boy but he sure was having fun. They were doing warm-up exercises and the other boys are grunting and complaining on hard it was.... Hayden has a grin my ear to ear. He thought it was great. By the second practice he was doing a better job at lay-ups. He wants to try every sport (except for tackle-football) but I worry about him being teased because he is not the best player. I am trying to make sure that this is a positive experience and not tell him what he did wrong. This is his first year playing basketball and I probably should have started him playing earlier so that he could learn the basics. Basketball ends in March and baseball starts in April. Boy does he sure love baseball! I can't wait.

Good luck with your classes. We are sure you will do great! They sound like a lot of fun.

Don't worry about Hayden. When his uncle started playing basketball in middle school for the first time, he was horrendous. But practice always helps.

Kids in elementary aren't as mean, at least as I remember the last year of elementary into middle school is when people got nasty! Uncle Matthew sure will be excited to hear about Hayden's love for baseball! I don't know about basketball, but I'm sure he would love to give Hayden some baseball pointers! As long as he is loving it, I'm sure the skills will come with time.

Great job in school Elysha, I'm glad you know what those words mean, and for that matter, even able to spell them.
As for Hayden, you don't have to be the best in sports, just as long as you enjoy them. I enjoyed basketball, even though I didn't get to start until church league.
