Thankful


Food, friends, and frolicking...Er, perhaps frolicking isn't the best word but it gets the point across. Last night's pre-thanksgiving dinner was great, hands down; it was better than any of the 5 parties my apartment has had since third week. Interestingly enough, before we ate Allen kept asking if we were going to "give thanks" which I honestly couldn't wait to give to my man, The Prince of Peace haha. While saying grace, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the amount of love I felt from God; Not only has he bestowed me with a roof over my head but more so he has surrounded me with people I can't get enough of, he SHOWERED us with food yesterday even when we thought there wouldn't be enough, and he's come through for me even when I didn't feel like he could. And the thing that gets me most, when Allen implied that we should give thanks I wasn't even sure if the group would have wanted to say grace but because they all were ok with it, I feel like God gave me this opportunity to reflect on how much he has done for me so that I can always remember that he love me.

Wow... The King of Heaven loves me. The least I can do is share some of his bountiful love with everyone else. Forget my pains with Sarah, move past my woes with my Dad-I am loved regardless of all my flaws, so I should love others and all of theirs.


What else can I be, but thankful.

Today was an interesting day to say the least. Not because anything horribly eventful occurred but rather some weird feeling arose. I have this profuse hatred for physics I must say. Every physics problem I come across is sadistic and out for my life. Luckily I have lot's of people to help me with the subject but at the same time even with all the help I am confused by the subject and do not really understand certain problems. Ugh it really gets one thinking. I used to say to myself about the kids who dropped pre med because of chem-"well that's silly, why let one class determine your future?" But I sometimes feel like I've traded places with them. I have always wanted to pursue medicine, always but sometimes the costs feel so large I don't think I can afford them. I want to believe that I am still in this because I know that it's what I want not just to prove a point that I can do it. I guess we will have to see how things develop with this situation tho...

Grades

So I finally received all my grades for this quarter, and I have to say that I am feeling...I guess ambivalent about the whole thing. On one hand I did well I got a higher GPA than my overall one at the moment so I should be happy about that, but at the same time I'm disappointed that I didn't get an A in my anatomy class. Damn, I tried so hard for that class haha and I couldn't pull it off. In any case, I am blessed that finals week was not that bad. I am blessed that I even get to go to UCLA and have the opportunity to make something for myself- this above all weighs more than my grades. I can't wait to go to San Diego and hang out with my friends, it should be a nice break from this hussle and bussle of LA. One thing I'm not looking forward to is Christmas shopping haha it is certainly the most difficult part of the holiday season. I think I know what to get Chris, and Chris and Amy as a pair but other than that IDK what the heck I should get other people. I'...
