the quest.

so i may have written recently about my decision to pursue nursing. i am looking into schools back home and recently discovered getting my associates degree is one of the wisest decisions i can make. so here i am applying, i'm going to be a public health nurse and i'm so excited about it and how confident i feel in that decision!
things i love about what God is doing in my life:
1. my family is the coolest.(my brothers are soccer playing & wrestling champions, my dad keeps me sane, my mom knows everything a person could know & came to visit me for 'mom weekend' last weekend! my sister and brother in law have the coolest lives ever and they are super kawaki [that means super cute in japanese], i am blessed... b/c i'm adopted... to be a part of such a unique and funny family!)
2. i have loving & lovely friends. (i get to go to katie's house in richmond next weekend for reunion oh-10!! lazy river at vcu here i comeee!!)
3. my boyfriend is so caring and would do anything for me.
4. my internship for march is going to be amazing, i am going to learn so much in the health clinic. i'll be shadowing nurses and helping put together health education programs!
as for now i've got to finish and send in these last two applications, and pray that God will grant me patience and understanding in whatever happens. annnddd i can't wait for next weekend! :]

Hi all, I just got an iPhone. One of my goals is to blog more. Time to get back to nursing school apps. Break is almost over geeeeezzzz!!!

winter wonderland.

despite finals these past two weeks have been great. last week was busy getting ready for my biggest exams that happened at the beginning of this week, but david and i managed to watch at least one christmas movie, elf. on wednesday my friend eileen came into town and stayed with me until friday. we made mac & cheese and just hang around the house between my studying and watching glee together.then she and david played at franklin's wine bar downtown on friday night. that was really exiting! they both did a wonderful job, things sounded so good, and i was impressed.
nowadays, there is gross melted snow on the ground, that once looked beautiful, but now has turned into slush. it snowed on saturday and it's wednesday so i guess there's a reasonable explanation for that. unfortunately instead of playing out in the snow, i was trapped behind drafty windows studying for exams. alrthough i have to say it was fun having a snow day with 7 of my friends. later on saturday night i went to my 4th melrose, it was fun to dress up PLUS david came too. after melrose, rebecca, michael, david and i came back to the house and made hot chocolate and watched home alone 1.
NEXT>> after i am free from this 4 hour shift at the library, i will be studying for my last final all day(anatomy lab)and tonight having a spaghetti dinner with david, making sugar cookies and watching it's a wonderful life (for the 4th time... yay christmas traditions!).

supply & demand

turns out when people read my blog, i want to write more. so keep reading.
now, onto some real business..
admittedly when i first heard this i was confused, intrigued, and eventually left wanting to hear more. what do you think of the very best: thanks to my brother-in-law's birth on november 4, 1980something my sister took him to see the very best band on his birthday--- consequently she was liked what she heard, and i do too.
favorites include:: julia & rain dance feat. MIA
