my life this past week.

sometimes time passes by really slow in my life from time to time, but this week by far has felt like a twilight zone where time is endless. hours spent sitting in uncomfortable waiting room chairs hoping to see the face of any surgeon. life in a hospital is nothing like the excitement that is depicted on greys anatomy. however, I do think the doctors here are just as attractive if not more than those at Seattle Grace.

this has been quite the opportunity for me to experience the true nature and interaction of my family. and starbucks coffee and bananas are the only two things besides the grace of God that has kept my sanity.

so this is the chronicles of my time..

     (room numbers were too hard to remember, so we had to come up with something clever)

      (arrows made out of hearts to help guide patients back to their rooms) #lovethis

              (i never knew how much they loved each other/needed each other until they were separated)

(oh, this is just me while chillin' in the surgical waiting room)

(my ah-mazing view of nothing that i woke up to every morning)

thinkhappy.behappy.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment. I told them they didn’t understand life. ― John Lennon

why yes, hallmark movies are my favorite!

psalm 28:7

'The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.'

happy birthday mama C:

new life.

soo, today is my first day at my new "big girl" job.
have a little desk, my own little phone and computer.
to be completely honest, this would not have been my first
choice, but i'm going to make the best of it and get some
experience in while i have the opportunity. these past three
or four months have been ridiculously crazy. i have had so much
thrown on me and so much i felt like i had to finish...most of it
i still have to deal with later on in the next few weeks, but just
sitting here this morning, i realize i am going to have to take this one
day at a time. seriously. i can't look at things like
over 6 months or 9 months because then i start to get freaked out.
i have my schedule, i have my time set aside, i have
my responsibilites, i have my new life.

gradumacation.

allow me to give you a breakdown from this weekend (well friday). woke up at 630, and started out somewhat disorganized.

farmersmarket.

i love days like today.

hello reality.

been studying since 7:30 this morning,
now riding down the road with all my windows down.

the embers playing in the background. i have
waited for this day
for such a long time and now
today is my last day of classes in college...ever.
mom has already taken a whole roll of film. its sort of a
sad moment. i don't have a paper to write this saturday
or a book and a half to read for
sunday night. i'm sure i'll get over it. ha

eventhough i am so very thankful it is over, i now see why people say they would like to still be in college. i'm not looking forward to this whole "becoming an adult" thing.

after all these years.

i'm 22 and the easter bunny still knows where i live C:
