| So, I am sitting here thinking to myself, "I wish I knew how to write, and I wish I liked writing." Those two things would make my life 200x easier than it is right now. I put off comp 111 for as long as I could, and now it's kicking me in the face. I know that eventually in Medschool I am going to have to write an important paper, but right now, I don't care. I'm a terrible english student. You know what is worse? I'm learning english from a guy who is from Germany. That's right, I have to have someone from another country come teach me my native language. Is that ironic? Or is there some other english word out there to describe this situation.
Maybe I could hire the Merrill twins to teach me how to write, or just proof my papers. Their xanga entries are pretty much memoirs waiting to be published. Must be nice to think out of the left side of your brain! Or is it the right side? All I know is if you put some type of organic molecule in front of me, I might be able to name it, tell you it's physical properties, and what type of reaction might take place when you put it in the presence of uv light and a dihalide. So why in the world can't I write a good illustration essay?
Anyway, My sis and best friend came down for the weekend. We had mucho divertido, and I also watched a movie that made me think more than I should on a Friday night. If you have not seen the movie "Crash", rent it and watch it. I have not seen a movie that has made me think about the real world so much in my life. There was a statement made in the movie about people crashing into one another just so they can feel touch. I'm amazed to think that this could be true. So, since I need to get back to my original line of work, aka my illustration paper, I leave you with this....Show appropriate affection to those you love, with a slight pat on the back, a high five, or a hug. You could be saving them from a spiritual crash. | | |
| So I surely haven't posted in a long time. Here is what is happening in my life nowadays. I had an increidble function this past weekend with my amazing Delta Gamma Rho girls. It was an incredible amount of fun. There are tons of pictures up on facebook. Just search for any girl that is in dgr and you are bound to find one somewhere. I hurt my arms from the toboganning, but it was a blast anyway.
I have managed to go from never having been to the Underground before, to twice in one weekend. I like it, but sometimes its way too loud. But the large tables are nice for rambunctious games of Nertz. Thanks to Kimmy D. and Brian J. for the amazing card games. Oh yeah, and kims friend Kim. We need to get together for a rematch in spades, woot woot. Speaking of new friends, Brian Grace is a wonderful new addition to my line of newly made friends, along with tony Haas. Those are two great guys. Thanks to Kimmy for introducing us.
I have come to realize that God has blessed me so much this semester with quite a relzxing semester. He has done this I'm sure because next semester is going to rip me to shreds. I still want to be a pediatrician, but man, the route to get there has quite a few obstacles in the way. I am still trying to solidify the job at Vanderbilt. I have been told I have it, but then it sounds like, ope, wait, maybe not. For those of you who know the situation, and those who don't, please keep me in your prayers! I need this job desparately.
I have a few tests and quizzes this week. I have got to make an A on my Environmental Science class. It's going to be super hard to pull it up if I don't make an A. I need more than 8 hours of A's this semester! But God will provide the grades I need for whatever job I shall be blessed with. Even if it is training of snails, or long distance watermelon seed spitting. I would prefer the latter.
Day of service is tomorrow. I get to clean out a pool again like last semester. I hope it goes well!
Maranda and Kendall come in on Friday. Can't wait to see them. This weekend is going to be amazing, even if I do have a Bible test to study for.
SOrry this isn't incredibly interesting. But at least it's something.
P.S. I think I am finally realizing that I need God more than boys and good grades. Encourage me to continue with that! | | |
| So I am making a post, but it is more of a prayer request. A couple of weeks ago I talked to my cousin who works at Vanderbilt Hospital in the Pediatric ICU. I called and asked her if she knew of any job openings. She called me the other night and asked me if I would be interested in doing a care partner job, where I would work 12 hour shifts, three days a week all during the summer, and then one day a week each month after that until the next summer. I told her I would LOVE to do that, and she even told me at times when I am not needed I could even go stand in during surgeries and watch! She said that once I filled out the application they would pull the job, which I think means I would have it. Well she called me back and said the job wasn't posted, which she isn't sure what that means, but I am praying that it doesn't mean it is already taken. So what i'm asking is, can you guys who still read these things, please pray that God wokrs this all out, and that if it is His will I will get the job? It would be an incredible oportunity, and I surely need the hospital hours. Thanks guys! Love and Hugs, Leah | | |
| I can't decide if I really want to continue with xanga. Everyone says no one reads them, I read them, but I don't write them. I don't think what I have to say really reaches anyone any longer, so I think I am going to have to say goodbye to weblog entries. But don't worry folks, I read yours. | | |
| I am seriously so excited about working in the lab. some of those guys are absolutely hilarious. I did have to tell some people they were breaking a few rules, but I still enjoyed myself. These guys did there labs so much faster than I did when I was in 122. People just keep getting smarter and smarter.
I want to go to midnight oil tonight. I really want some apple cider. We will see if I succeed. | | |
