I'm going to copy something one of my cousins does on her journal.
Roses to (really, it's praises to God for...):
- the wonderful wonderful fall weather in Memphis right now - high 60s and low 50s. It's gorgeous.
- this afternoon, falling asleep in my disc chair for 15 minutes, on my balcony, listening to songs on my mp3 player, and basking in the sun. Glorious.
- Skype and accountability with Maya. I haven't opened up to people here yet and I don't know if I really will...I'm just letting nature take it's course. So whenever I talk to my friends it's like a dam explodes and I'm talking a mile a minute. It's because I haven't really talked in days lol
- God always always always rescuing and never failing to rescue me out of the miry pit
- a common sense of humor amongst all my friends. Laughter and friends are what make me happy to be alive from day to day...they help me to see the good things and enjoy them in life, something I have taken forgranted all these years...
- my med school mentors who have been so encouraging during my very rough times at med school.
- reading His Word. It's my favorite part of the day. I enjoy it so much and depend on it so much. It's like a reward for me at the end of the day and I look forward to it. It allows me to end the day on a good note no matter what happened that day...I just finished the book of Joshua this morning...I'm actually inadvertently on a path to read the whole bible. I started Genesis in June I think and I'm already through Joshua so...who knows? I didn't decide to do it. It's just happening cause I couldn't stop continuing to read =D. I start Judges tonight and I'm excited =). I'm glad I'm not following a set program or anything...I actually finished Revelations in May so I read the end before I started at the beginning..tsk tsk, I broke one of my very own rules and spoiled the ending for myself ;).
- my unique personality, my likes and dislikes, my loves and passions...I'm very content with the things that make me who I am right now and it's a wonderful perspective.
- not having a roommate so they can't complain about how cold my condo is right now (I keep the windows open these days and it's about 40+ outside at night =P). Yes, I'm wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants but hey, I love it =) (not only that, I'll have a low electric bill. Sweet.)
- having made awesome plans that are taking place in 2 weeks. I seriously want to play board games...like wow...lol
- CSI. I'm addicted. There are so many medical things in that show! It's awesome!
- having an idea of what kind of medical field I might want to go into. But I can't tell cause it's a secret ;)
- low gas prices!!! yay!
- other people's blogs and journals. I love reading them. Like I said, I'm living vicariously through my friends ;).
Raspberries to:
- cold feet - my feet are ALWAYS cold. AND they take FOREVER to warm up. That's what's keeping me from sleeping at night right now. My freezing feet lol. I need to invest in a pair of heated socks =P.
- there's not a good japanese or chinese restaurant in Memphis. Boo. That's like my whole diet right there
- computer malfunctions. My thinkpad has been acting VERY strangely during class lately...soo, hopefully it'll last me till the end of this block and I can try and fix it or send it out.
- being socially inept and introverted. And being apathetic about that.
- not having a fireplace in my condo. I want one so that I can have it going, have a cup of hot chocolate, and curl up on the couch with my books. THAT would make me soooo happy right now...just thinking about it makes me smile =D.
- not getting my absentee ballot yet so having to track that down...geez.
- not getting to watch movies or play boardgames. Or getting to do much of any activity really because of time and school. I totally would do so many things by myself. I just need the time.
- having to generate my own joy and happiness in life right now.
- expensive plane tickets. And how big America is...=P
- not having a fall break.
- the cigarette smoke from a neighbor of mine who likes to smoke outside drifting into my condo because my windows are open. I really hate that...It's fine if you want to destroy your lungs but I want to keep mine thank you.
- parents' birthdays - cause I never know what to get my parents AND it's a lot harder when you can't be there to celebrate it. =(
I could keep on going but I should stop and get back to studying.
my forensic pathology professor always said that he couldn't watch CSI without having the urge to throw things at his TV. Apparently, their coroner is _way_ too certain, and all of the tox-related stuff they do is unrealistically fast and accurate.
ReplyDeleteI just pick up the bits and pieces of medical knowledge. Their anatomy and the pathology of drugs and diseases is usually pretty accurate.
