Guys, I had a total kick in the pants moment today.

Remember that one time last week when I was so full of questions?  And then I actually acted on something and felt so much better?

Well I was still a little worried.  I need SOMETHING to help me get in to grad school.  But I had no idea how I was going to do it.  Until today.

Last week I had emailed one of my professor's asking if there was any chance that I could be a part of her research team.  I knew my chances were slim.  I knew that I was grasping at straws because let's get real, with all the hours I work and the volunteering that I do, my grades are not the best.  But this amazing woman decided to give me a chance.

You guys, I am going to be on her research team.  I might actually have some kind of chance at getting in to grad school.

I am telling you, God ANSWERS prayers.  Even the ones I don't admit to anyone that I am praying.  He knows me and knows exactly what is going to be the best FOR me.  Yes, working in the coding lab probably would have worked out okay.  But it wasn't the BEST.  But the experience that I had this past semester in doing coding will hopefully help me as I participate in the research that I have been so richly blessed to participate in.

I don't know exactly how everything in my life is going to work out.  I don't know if I will date, if I will  marry before I graduate, if I will get in to grad school, or if my life will take another adventurous path.  But I DO know that God is watching out for me.  And that is enough right now.

it has been too long.

You guys, I am sorry.  I really am. I feel connected to you in some way.  I get all excited when you read my blog.  And then I go and let you down by not actually blogging. My bad, guys, my bad. I still don't know what I am doing with my life.  No, scratch that.  I know that I am graduating sometime in the next year.  Now I just need to find full time employment so that I can pay for said semesters, for housing, for "The Cranberry" as Psych so inspired me to call my car. Oh, life.  Sometimes I wish that you had a pause button.  So that I could go on more Sunday Springtime Frolics through the meadows of life.  So that I could write on my blog more.  So that I could be a better friend, roommate, sister, and daughter. But, you don't.  It's like...crappy that you don't.  Life keeps moving forward.  People keep moving on.  And I am left here wondering what I am going to do next. Fortunately, there is music. ...

My Gethsemane

Yesterday was an oh-so-sickly day for me.  My and my stomach waged an epic war which left me laying in my bed for most of the morning and wishing I understood more about why this whole gastroparesis thing (or as I like to call it sometimes, Goob Jr., but I'll explain that more another day) is happening to me. Then i had to put on my grin and bear it face and go to a class that I knew that I just could not miss.  And then haul my sorry sickly body to my favorite place in the world, Divine Comedy rehearsal.  These people just make my life so much more awesome.  And so, I went feeling so gross but knowing that they needed me there with all the props that I had in my car. And somehow I survived. Today, I woke up.  And surprisingly felt much better.  And then I went to my all time favorite class and got to learn more about this talk right here.  And I remembered the way I felt when I first heard this talk, sitting in a lonely LDS chapel in Virginia ...

It is the little things

This has been an exhausting weekend.  Springhaven=joy.  Springhaven=exhaustion.  Springhaven=not going to bed until 4am. I love my DC peeps. In other news, I am so grateful for some very inspired friends who have been there for me this week.  Just so in tune to what I needed this week, whether it was a movie night with three different kinds of ice cream, or home teachers who just knew that drop by visits were what I needed this week.  I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am for my Father in Heaven and the inspiration that He gives to others to help me out in my life.  Thanks friends. Watch for some big changes in my future.  Like, big.  We'll see what happens, but I am hoping for some new and exciting opportunities to start coming my way soonish.  :) Also, I love sweatshirt weather. And leg warmers on Sundays. And hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls and halloween costumes. Man, I should sleep more.  Then you poor soul...
