Thoughts from ME

I was Rachel's earring model today, maybe I should change my choice of occupation! ;)
I love Christ. I love the gospel! How amazing it makes everything! I am surrounded by modest, beautiful women. Everyone here on campus is special and their special spirits are a gift from God and their choice to follow the gospel. It is just amazing.

From Omaha, NE

She calls these posts "Taking Stock": Seeing: all the dogs sleeping, a nephew playing, ceiling fans turning, grey clouds. Making: an effort to not disappear into the bedroom I'm staying at while in Nebraska with family (kids'll do that to me) Cooking: nothing.

But while here I have made my absolute favorite PB cookies which are easy and delicious Drinking: sooooo much water - still not enough Reading: a guide for everything you need to know about medical school and Pushkin's Eugene Onegin Hearing: the pot on the stove cooking the bottles which contain my SIL Nicole's homemade spaghetti sauce Wanting: the next year to speed by - I am tired of fretting about med school applications and would like the whole thing finished - please? Looking: forward to visiting the zoo to...

getting to and through YEAR ONE

Hello? Oh, Hello there! I am excited to talk more about my summer as I enjoy the last few days before I dive into studying hard. It is almost the beginning of the second year of medical school.

I staggered under the weight of my fears and found myself often on my knees with no where else to turn. It was a beautiful place to find myself. Of course it is easy to say that now, looking back as I stand proud. There was a lot that went into my decision to go to medical school. Ultimately it took a lot of prayer and a lot of planning. It took a lot of service hours, a lot of hard work in my undergrad, a lot of conversations with my mother. It was a grueling process which no one can understand until you've been through it. I often doubted I was making the right choice. As I was preparing for the MCAT, which is the entr...
