Man, I am glad thats over.

The week of the never ending studying has ended...I started studying last thursday after lunch till about 5pm, all FriDAY, and all Sat and Sun. I did not leave my apartment from Friday night to Mon morning. Class till 4 on mon..studied till 11pm, Tues studied from 1-11pm. Took the first test on Wed am. Class till 5 on Wed and studied till 11:30 last night. Then I got up this morning at 7am and studied till about 9:30am--went to school and took the test at 10am. It took me about an 1 hr and 45 min to take it. I have never been a fan of studying of any sort and I have met my threshold for the semester. Is that a problem?
I am celebrating my freedom by going to the Nashvilles Sounds game tonight. (Hockey) This will be the first hockey game I have gone to since my senior year of high school. I excited. I am going with my friends from school...Amanda, Cara, Justin, jeremy, Dennis and I do not know who else.
BUT, it all starts again on Fri for the pharmacology test on Tues.
I know I complain about studying, and it probably sounds like I hate school...I don't. I am glad I am doing what I am doing. I puts me in chains now, but it will give me freedom in the end.
Sound familiar?
NetFlix ROCKS!!!

I would just like to say...

I would like to take this moment to say that I have been a little busy this week and next week is going to be murder, so this might be my last blog for a week.

I just looked at my calander for next week and saw that I have a Cardiopulmonary exam and a current topic report on Wed, then on Thurs I have Pediatric exam. On the Following Tues I have to have (along with my research group) a rough copy of our research paper along with a format for our poster, and ALSO on Tues I have a Pharmacology exam, which is a bunch of words I cannot pronounce.
Needless to say I am a little stressed. But, I only have 11 weeks of classes left and finals, but our finals schedule I will address at a later date.

But in all of this......I know God has me here for a reason....what it is I do not know.....I 've been saying that for 2 years now...I can't wait to find out!!

BRING IT!!!

Belly laughing!!!

So, I just read Abe's response to my last post. My eyes are still red from laughing at the shout out comment. I happened to be in a room full of my classmates and thay all thought I was on something. I tried to read the comment outloud, but I could only get a couple of words out in between laugh seizures.
What is the deal with random people leaving random comments?

My health insurance is feces.

Do not ever get Fortis health insurance, as it is now called Assurant Health, which really means: You can be Assurant that nothin is gonna be covered. I have had this insurance since 2003, and during that time I have had to have an MRI and a x-ray due to sporting adventures, neither which were covered. I just got my gyno bill for the enitre amount because apparently Assurant doesn't cover that either.
In US healthcare systems class this semester we are discussing ....The US healthcare system. The trend in healthcare is moving from fixing the problem to prevention of disease, which includes preventitive measures like yearly check-ups to smoking cessation classes. To me, and maybe it is just me, it would seem that a freaking pap would fall under preventitive. I went and looked up my health plan on-line to see about this womens health issue and come to find out that Assurant (under the student plan) will only 1 mamograma yr, but only for women over 35 yrs old. I can see the 1 a yr thing, but My gyno told me that if you have breast cancer in your family you should start being scanned 5 yrs younger than when your relative was diagnosed, which for me would be now... and I would have to foot the bill if I was to follow my Dr's adivce because...I'm assurant that Assurant won't cover it.

Assurant health insurance is for the birds..that my opinion and it ought to be yours.

A view inside my mind

Bare with me..There used to be a time in my life when I did not have a problem sharing what was on my mind or on my heart. But lately it is extremely hard for me to share my feelings..so what better way to fight through it than to put it all out there in my blog.
I am a Christian..I do believe in ONE God and I have always been able to talk freely about my faith without holding back, yet over the past couple of years I have led a very apathetic life when it comes to my faith and my relationship with God.
Sometimes I feel that I don't have the right to talk about how God has worked in my life because I have not shown him in my life. Of course there are things in my life I regret, that I wish I could go back and change, but from those things I have learned alot.
I am still learning...about who I was, who I am now and who I want to be in the future. God has used my family, old friends, new friends and strangers to show me, in hind-sight.
I never want to claim to be anybody else than who I am. So..who am I? Well, I am just a person striving to be who God wants me to be and do what he wants me to do, but very likely always falling short. I have bad days, I do bad things...but I strive.
You all are my accountance, the Holy Spirit is my conscious.
