Weekend

This past weekend was very busy but really nice at the same time.  Friday night, Josh (my roommate), Calvin (someone from church here in Champaign), and I went to a large indoor flea market/sale.  It was a lot of fun to walk around and check things out.  There was everything from a stop sign to puppies to food to a book on how to grow marijuana (I did NOT purchase the book just in case you were wondering!).  Then Saturday morning it was up bright and early to head to West Lafayette church for college weekend.  It was the first one I had every been to and I really enjoyed it.  There was a lot of good food for thought brought out by the men who spoke.  Then, today I was in West Lafayette for church.  Right after church I came home (with a couple other guys) and got changed and headed to my friends to study.  Tomorrow is day 2 of our midterm exam, the written part.  Not looking forward to it, I can tell you that much!  Anyways, I am glad to have friends to study with so I'm not always studying by myself.  This Friday night I head out for a very quick trip home for Heidi's and Laura's baptisms.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone!  Now, to end this post I will post a picture that I just acquired this evening.  This picture shows myself between my two classmates who are alphabetically (last name) on either side of me.  The one on my right is Brittany and the one on my left is also Brittany.  They live together and also have one other roommate from our vet school class and her name is..... yup, you guessed it, Brittany also!  It was a random housing assignment and all three Brittany's from our vet school class ended up in the same apartment (with a girl named Lindsay who is a masters student in animal nutrition.)  What are the odds of that?  You know what else is weird?  Two of the Brittanys have the same middle name, two of the Brittanys are from Illinois, two of the Brittanys have the same anniversary with their boyfriends (except one is a year ahead of the other), two of the Brittany's fathers have the same name, two of the Brittany's boyfriends have the same name.  Isn't that wild?  I thinks it's just crazy how similar they are to each other!  Because they all live together, I call them BBanning (the one on my right in this picture), BBlack (the one on my left in this picture), and BMac (not pictured).  I graduated UCONN with BBanning, both of us with a BS in pathobiology, and we also worked in the necropsy lab together and now we go to vet school together.  One girl in our class calls us siblings due to our similar pasts.   My study partners are BMac and BBlack.  BBlack is also in my anatomy lab group.  Needless to say, I know the Brittanys the best out of anyone in my class!  So, here is the picture for real this time (courtesy of BBlack's father and taken at our Blue Coat Ceremony last August)!

That is pretty crazy that there are that many similarities between them!
