My Life til now ...

WOW!!!! I didn't realized that it's been awhile since I've updated. Anyhoos, the last 2 wks before winter break was mostly studying and prepping for the 2 tests before the break. Nothing really special about those weeks.

I did start meeting with the girls in my accountability group. They are great and we are starting with The Attributes of God by Pink. I think it's a great book to start with for the girls and regardless where we are spiritually, it's a great reminder of who God is. Even though this is the second time for me going through this, I still find it fascinating because I pick up things that I didn't the first time around. Thanks Tiff Keng! We'll be going through the Predestination/Election/Free Will after break. Pray for that!

I did think about where I wanted to relocate to for my 3rd and 4th in med school, at least as of right now. It comes down to Newark, NJ, Detroit, MI or Cleavland, OH. I'll know for sure this time next year. I know, they are all the more farther away from Cali. I do promise that I'll eventually come back to home. But as of right now, I'm doing summer preceptorship in early July somewhere in MO. So I should be home in June. ::happy days::

Now, I've been home for about a week already and it's filled with chauffering my mom, get some studying in everyday, and eating all the yummy food. :P Best of all, catching up with college friends. I went out with Tiff Keng yesterday. It was awesome. I haven't seen or talk to her for months and just hanging for the 2 hours reminded me of the good ole times we had in college. Nonetheless, I'm glad that God gave me really good friends in college. I'm playing phone tag with Sandy. The funnest thing to do. :) I talked to Olivia a bit. It was really good to see another strong Christian running hard for God in med school. It was encouraging because I don't see much strong Christians where I am and I really appreciate Olivia. God knows exactly what I need at every moment. How wonderful! I even caught up with an old high school teacher, Mike Frei. I dunno what hit me, but just got the feeling that I should say hi and just check in. ::shrug::

The thought of the week is I'm growing up and I'm not ready and don't feel like I'm an adult yet. 2 weekends ago, APO in my school did Adopt-a-Child where we take underserved kids out for Christmas shopping. They told us that every kid needs 2 adults and that's when it hits me that Wow! I'm actually an adult and not a kid anymore. Amazing, huh. Then this week, went shopping with mom and realize I'm shopping more for work/business causal clothes and moaned about how expensive they were. ::sigh:: The price of getting old.

All these engagements are making me feel even older. I think I know of at least 5 couples and I'm sure there more that I've missed. Craziness. I'm here thinking, I'm still and a student and only 22 yet all these people of getting engaged and getting married. Where do I belong now?

New things for me!!!

This week has been full of new things for me to experience. The week started off relatively normal with really warm weather in the 60s. Then Wed nite was my first ice storm. According to the local, it's a small one. So on Thurs morn, walking to class was ok, nothing big deal but on my way back from class, I was buttoning my jacket and wasn't really paying attention to where I was walking. I slipped on a patched of ice and fell on my bottom and scraped my plam a little bit. Haven't had a fall like that since my 2nd year in college where I tripped over my foot and sidewalk and gave myself a swoollen knee. It'll be a fun winter in counting how many times I fall and be a major klutz. haha

Then the same nite, I had to go to my friend's place to go over some homework problems. I didn't realize how hard and how long it would take to defrost my car. I have an ice scraper in the trunk of my car. When I got to my car, all my doors were frozen shut and so was my trunk. I was like, "I have to get into my trunk! AHH!" Then I just started pulling on any door just to get into my car. Finally got one of the backseat door open, then I crawled around to the driver seat to start my car and start the thawing. Thankfully I remembered that my backseat bench folds down and I can get into my trunk. Yippee! Then I start scraping. It took about a good 30 min scraping and warming up my car. But I still couldn't get my trunk open. The whole time, I was just praying to God to just let me open one door. Crazy.

On my way home, I decided to get gas. Well guess what? The gas door is also frozen shut and I couldn't get it open. So that nite was just loads of fun. It was raining too my the time I got home. It's basically ice pellets raining down. It hurts.

That same nite was the snow storm. My first one. I went to bed excited. I woke up Friday morn with snow and it was just amazing. Everything was white and beautiful and pure. I was so excited that I took more pics out of my window than I planned on.

That same nite, we have our annual Prom. everyone get to dress up. I went to a 2nd year's apt downstairs and had wine and cheese. The cheese was good but I found out I only like dessert wine, the sweeter the better. We walked to the place for the formal. Normally it would be a short walk but with the 4inches of snow the nite before it was interesting. I had on a mid calf dress and strappy sandal, so the walk was freezing. Frozen toes and legs. No amt of jacket and scarf could make up for it. The price we pay for beauty. ::sigh::

The prom was fun. The food was cold and didn't taste the best. The songs for dancing sucks with occasional good songs. Most people were drunk by 10pm. There was a group going out afterward in dress clothes to bars. Crazy people. Overall it was fun just to see people getting all dressed and not seeing them in scrubs like in everyday.

Overall, this week has been good. God has been gracious to me, letting me to see and experience new things. Tomorrow morning will be interesting trying to get to church. hehe. Laters.
