Little things....

The past few days have proved to be interesting ones....
For starters, the past few days, I have been... ill... But do not fret, I have recovered and am now functioning very well!!! I want you to know how amazing the human body is. If one thing is not functioning correctly, everything will get out of whack. Also, if you have a serious problem, it can cause some serious pain and throw off everything else. Whew. I have never been so thankful for the way the human body operates. God, very evidently, knew what he was doing when he created us.
For second, I have been in the process of applying to be a Resident Assistant. This has always appealed to me, and now I am finally doing it. Applications were due this week and this was the first week of activities (breaking the ice type stuff, not mention a good hearty, "let me analyze your behavior to see how you are as an individual and how youll be as an ra"). It was awesome. Truly, the activities ended up being fun! I enjoyed them and enjoyed the people I met. I made some new friends! Thats always a good thing right?!
For third, all week long, I have been barcaded in my apartment, studying for two tests on Friday. I have flashcards coming out of my eyes. By the grace of our incredible God, my Vertebrate Physiology test has been postponed to this coming Wednesday. Meaning, I will once again be a mole, buried in my books for the first part of this coming week. For my Chemistry test on Friday, several of us in my class met for a study group. Believe it or not, Im confused with what the difference is between a pi bond and a sigma bond. I dont know the molecular geometry of SF4. Needless to say, Ive been lost. But I think I began to get it a little. Hallelujah for a prodigy in the group. Though the test looked like nothing the practice test looked like, I feel like it could have gone worse. If you know me, you know that this is actually a great statement for me to make. Anyways. On to studying for the next test.
For fourth, a statement of pure ignorance has been made in my life. I feel so blessed by the people around me, that we understand each other in our frustration. Its amazing to see how people can come together to support each other when they need support and encouragement. I love love love every person in my life. God knew what He was doing when He placed me in these families, in these friendships, in this place... And ya know, its amazing to see how peoples true colors come out... Ignorance is bliss. Who in the heck said that??? Maybe its blissful for the ignorant one.. they dont even realize whats going on! However, its not blissful for the people around the ignorant one! The people who have to deal with the statements... now thats patience is a virtue... Those people deserve a standing ovation. *clap clap clap* If you are laughing, actually think about this for a second. The person who made the ignorance is bliss comment was obviously too ignorant to realize what that entailed. Thanks for trying to contribute to society though dude! Let me try! ....dang it! I gotta give that guy more props... its hard to think of something that doesnt make sense off the top of my head!
For fifth, I was able to hang out with some pretty amazing people. I went on two different shopping expeditions with a friend. A friend who is truly unique and beautiful. I love her so so much. (And shes making me a dress! Totally random, but I am way way more than excited!) I got to go "do homework" and have coffee with my roommate. I got a fabulous cup of coffee and had a wonderful conversation. I love my roommate. And I love that we understand each other.... And gotta love those awkward situations with random people where the whole "understanding each other" really comes out.... Hopefully, the girl who a random guy was yelling about on the phone isnt really possessed. Nevertheless, all of Coffee Depot knows there is a girl in trouble who needs 1. prayer 2. a Bible and 3. authorities to get involved. Thank you stranger, for informing us about your and others personal lives. I got the opportunity to reconnect with several different friends - which I always love doing.
For sixth, I got to sleep in today! Well, till 930. Darn daylight. Totally makes me want to have a house like the one in The Holiday, where the huge sun-blockers come down to make the room pitch black. Those are an amazing invention. I feel like I would sleep so much better and be happier in the morning when I have to wake up! I could decide to leave the sun out for a bit longer, or invite it in to help me prepare for my day. Ah fabulous. Then I got to relax for a while! Given I should have been doing homework, but I felt like I could take part of a day off.
Well. I believe that is all. I had a good week. And to you, it may seem rather uneventful and mundane, but to me, I need to be thankful for the little things. Those are what get me through the day. Each of the things listed above may have had a bummer incidence in it, but ended up ok. Or funny. Whatever. I could deal with the ending, basically. Well. It is time for bed. Bible study and bed. Haha! Its B&B time! Can I just point out, how fabulous is a bed? Who created these things? (Im not even a history buff, and yet I just want to know several origins for this note!) Anyways. Until next month! Or whenever I decide to write again!...
