rain rain... you can stay :o)

The rain is here... I unfortunately left my umbrella at home this morning as I ventured out at 7:10 am for class. I thought... "it is unusually warm... I bet it's going to rain". And... it did. Me and my HOGS sweatshirt were soaked after anatomy lecture this morning. I looked like an idiot: pants rolled up, ankle brace on, wet birkenstock sandals, and a slammer of warm, undrinkable diet coke (the ice melted in the over-heated lecture hall this morning.

Moving on...
I broke into tears yesterday when I had to take Jesse to the airport. I apparently am missing him being around me. I spent the weekend with the Band of Flight. I played "Bandtastic"... and it was fantastic thankyouverymuch :o) I miss spending time with adults. I miss having a social life... I went for wings and diet coke at B-Dubs... I laughed all night. I was chatty... I was entertained... I was happy.

It's odd though... the only reason I went to dinner in the first place was because my stupid government travel card was denied, so I didn't have a room until 11:30 at night. The way the whole situation was handled by the guard was RIDICULOUS! I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a hotel out of my own pocket. Damned, I tell you. It worked out though... I relaxed a bit and that always does a body good.

Working on anatomy. The lectures are intense. The teacher is amazing. I record everything, then come home and listen again while re-writing my notes. Instead of a 5-credit hour class, it really should be 10... it is that much work.

Other classes are going well too, I think. I can't seem to find my place / groove yet... I struggle with what to do first... it all has to get done.

This quarter is pure memorization.

Still waiting on "the" letter.

Much love from my rainy state to you... Muah!

*ps*
a day late on the blog... HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALI!!! 




*just a little something extra*
School Discussion Assignment:

I am a person who cares what people think. I care what my family think, my friends, strangers, even my pets. I want everyone to like me. More importantly, I want the people I love to be proud of me.


I am the picture perfect over achiever, and doubt myself constantly. Can I do this? Why did I do this? Why can't I do this? I recently have lost all self confidence when it comes college and life, and continually wonder whether I will ever achieve my goals. 


Think Positive hit home for me. I recently saw a quote that I truly enjoyed: "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life and don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. Most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become." —Steve Jobs


I think that this quote should be my Think Positive mantra.
