whao nelly...

Okay - today has been crazy! Maybe it's just the fact that I really wanted to just go home and everything was just a topper that I REALLY wanted to go home.

Anatomy was crazy - we learned that the muscles in your stomach that have special properties so that when they stretch like when you eat to much on Thanksgiving, they can still contract and process your food. Great uh? Then we watch a video of some renowned scientist that my teacher was pretty stoked about, so the renowned scientist cut open a cadaver live...it was really interesting. A couple of people in the audience looked like they were about to lose it. Super interesting, kinda gross.

Just to top off the day - (I'm just hitting the major points of the day) - I check in for my flight and it tells me that my flight has been delayed....two hours! Oh boy. I already had two hours to wait in the first place. Gracious me.

Just thought I'd tell you all. Super can't wait to get home though!!!! So happy! So I'm gonna hop to and work on my homework; memorizing muscles. Fun Fun....Have a great Thanksgiving! Eat TONS cuz your smooth muscles in your stomach will still have enough tension to contract and digest your FOOD! Wonderful is it not?!
Lord Bless,

Coming home....

HI All,
I'm sorry I haven't updated it a ton - but I want to say I'm coming home soon and I can NOT wait! I'm so excited to come home! I have a quick couple min.

Thank you so much for you prayers! I made it through mid-terms - there is a God! Praise the Lord! If you could pray for diligence in this last stretch of my first term (out of 7? I think?) Goodness me... *sigh*

God is good! Thank you for your prayer, love and support! I love and miss you all!

"when challended to race in golf cart; ride bike instead"

Laura was walking out the door and mentioned to me as I was picking out my clothes for the morning, that I might want to dress really warm and cozy. Because it was "super cold outside and with the fog it just kinda seeps through you and kinda chills you." I laughed and nodded and continues to pick my outfit for today.

Now I'm sitting down in the living room doing Medical Terminology; working on the word "adenocarcinoma" which is any one large group of carcinomas derived from glandular tissue. But besides that fact, I was sitting here and I heard something. Kids. It was Saturday, of course they would be out and about. Other than that it's been the first nice day we've had in a while, chilly but nevertheless a nice day. I couldn't piece together in my mind what these children might be doing - judging by their tone of voice and vocal fluctuations. So the voices got louder once and again and I hop up on the couch and look out the bay window.
I see Nick, a neighborhood boy of 14 on his bike racing two girls (ready for this?) in a golf cart. I stopped and kinda sat on the couch looking out for a moment. He still beat them from the top of the cul-de-sac to the end of the street. I chucked inside - and smiled. Random.

I had to share that little pick-me-up for the day. Not very profound, or very wise - unless you want to make a chines proverb out of it. "when challenged to race in a golf cart, ride your bike." Hope it at least made you smile.

May the Lord bless your day!

PS I'm coming home in less than 20 days now!!!!!!!
