wish him luck on his toughest final

My finals this semester seem a little more reasonable than my husband's. I'll hand in a written portfolio at the end of the week while he'll have to regurgitate massive chunks of information—one of which is this little instruction I encountered on his study guide while quizzing him for his chemistry final:

"Know what hormones are and in general terms how they act."

Really? I can't help but feel that the study guide's a little vague. And absurd. Surely it can't mean ALL hormones? Especially when that's just a single bullet point on a three-page study guide. Right?

Personally, I think C. should receive 100% for that section of the test before he even shows up for the final tomorrow. I mean, he lives with a pregnant woman. He certainly knows what hormones are and EXACTLY how they act.

Good luck, Chris. That's why I'm not in the sciences - I just don't do well with them. Rather than memorizing and understanding concepts, I want to understand and regurgitate abstract ideas and feelings - like some dancing flower-child. Best, best of luck to you, friend.

Thanks for the encouragement.

K, you're the best study buddy ever.

HA! He's not alone out there in knowing exactly how hormones act!

So, has this test been taken or is it still yet to be?

For surviving all this, you deserve a two-bedroom apartment at least.

Good luck. You will do great. That mind of yours that can take in several books at a time will do great at remembering for you.

I just took it today. It kicked my butt.

Kathy, I am trying to come to terms with the fact you are no longer in Provo..sniff, sniff. I am alone in my counselor-ness of Primary (for now I guess). I will certainly miss you!
