Hi Hi Sorry Sorry

So as it turns out, being even a pre pre-med student = SUPER BUSY.

I've been working about 35 hours a week at the coffee shop, plus my 16 hours of school a week, not to mention all of the studying/trying to study and trying to maintain a semblance of a social life. Insane.

I went to a picnic yesterday for the Boyds. They're moving, so a bunch of their friends got together. It was a really good time. I am usually a very introverted person, but I actually talked with a bunch of the people there without my palms getting too sweaty and feeling like I was going to hyperventilate. And it was actually some of them who inspired me to get my butt back on this blog and post more.

I feel like I am in the midst of making so many life decisions right now. A little overwhelmed by it all. Do I want to be a doctor, or a physicians assistant, or something else? Where do I want to go to school? How much school do I think I can take? Timeframe---do I wait until I have more loans paid off, or will that wait make it too late? (That rhymed.) If I commit to this doctor thing fully, that's giving up the next 8 years of my life. That's a lot of work. That's not a lot of "fun". I am going to have to change a lot of things in my mostly pretty chill lifestyle.

It's a big decision. And it makes my stomach hurt to think about.

And now there is potentially a boy involved...maybe? Haven't decided on that one either.

So if you are running out of things to pray about...how about my stress level, future decisions, and clarity of what it is that I'm supposed to be doing. =)

This post is dedicated to Joe Mathis, who I had a really great conversation with last night. Joe and Angie, I really appreciate you guys a lot, even though we don't talk a whole lot, and love how encouraging you are without even really trying. Thank you =) My next post will be dedicated to Jenny Zetterman. Stay tuned.

In an unrelated note...I think I have carpal tunnel in my wrist from pulling shots at the coffee shop. Seriously.

We'll be praying too! But we already know part of the answer -- medical missions! :)
