Just Keep Chugging.......

I am sitting here tired of looking at DNA and RNA Transcription and Translation. So I am taking a break to reach out to the real world and relax my mind. I was wondering what the rest of the world is doing with their school year. I don't have time to call people so leave me a comment on the course of your studies (and your lives).
I was sitting with a group of students the other day and I was asking them what did they do before medical school. The group that I was with attended HBCU's and the resounding answer was that they miss attending football games and traveling. I miss my friends from college and I miss the good times that we shared that I don't get to do anymore.... late night trips to walmart, sitting on the set after dark when they turn on the Christmas lights, attending football games, and going to the movies just to unwind.
For anyone that believes that I don't think about them anymore.... know that that is totally untrue because during the four years of college that I endured you were definitely my life line.

The thought for today is that you can do anything that you set your mind to... when your mind is willing.
Encourage yourselves even when no one else will........

Aughhhh......

I have never studied this much in my life. I spent the entire day today studying DEVO. I didn't think that you could know so much about how your fingers develop and how the gyri in your brain develop.
I finally think that I have come to the point that I will have to get a new car. My current car is beautiful and I will probably keep her, but I can't keep taking days to get her fixed. Now its my brakes, the fluid keeps running out in like three days. That is not a good thing. I would really like to stop having to worry about whether or not my car is going to break down on me as I go back and forth to school everyday. So I took a few minutes and reviewed the options that I already have because I think that I will have to replace my car within the next two months, so I might as well start budgeting for the new vehicle... which means less spending......

I have claimed that by my birthday in November that Gas prices will be down to $1.99 per gallon. I wonder what made the gas prices start their sudden decline, but I hope they continue this decline.
If anyone knows what a lissencephaly is let me know.... I need to answer before tuesday..... hehehehe?

Studying.......

I haven't had a chance to write in awhile because I have been studying furiously. I have never studied this much in my life. Every time that I think that I have finally caught up I get another transcript or I can't remember what the last thing I was studying was all about.
There just doesn't seem to be a way to get ahead. I don't even have time to take pictures, I think this is a travesty before nature. Hummph.

So I was thinking about FAMU football......which really isn't football because I only go for the band. But a couple of my former classmates have asked if I am going to attend two of the highlights of the FAMU football season which are the Atlanta Classic and Homecoming.
Unfortunately I have test blocks during both of these events. So I would really feel like a slacker if I took the time off to go, but I really want to go to Homecoming. It would give me an excuse to visit all of my friends and I would get to see those Marching Rattlers one time during the season.
So if anyone has any ideas as to whether or not I should go... leave me a comment.

Rest and ??????

So I took my biochem test today. It wasn't that bad but I wasn't really as prepared for it as I should have been. I think I need to turn up the fire under my studying another 400 degrees. But I don't think that I did that bad on the test.... hopefully.

For everyone that has wished me condolences over the last couple of days I would like to say thank you and I hope that you will continue to keep me in your prayers..... this is very hard and it will take time for me to come out totally but for now I will continue to pray and the one small comfort that I have is that he was meet at the gates by my grandfather and though he was not perfect God had a place ready for him in heaven and he (they) are preparing a place for my entire family when we get home. ( I normally don't let people see the spirit that is in me to this depth, but this is a real moment. If you lost someone recently or in the past know that they have a place and are waiting for you, because that is some extreme comfort)

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful beginning of the school year and that nothing will hinder anyone from finishing out the year....
God Bless......

Post Test Jitters.........

I have one more test to take because I missed the Biochem test on Friday but I already see that I am going to have a bad semester.... I can only pray that the test that I took today goes a little better than I think it went.

How to study better for medical school exams.... if anyone has any suggestions let me know?

Reflections......

I was blaming God for what happened last week and I really wanted to quit everything, I wanted to stop breathing and join him in the everlasting. But slowly I am beginning to see that the ripple effect that would cause would not solve the problem, and it is not what he would want. So I am reflecting on the cruelty of this world that we are living in. I can't put the loss into perspective. How does the world lose someone this young and vibrant, with so many aspirations and dreams. What are our dreams? Are they things that we can actually obtain, are they things that were are supposed to aspire too. I was once told that our genuine ambitions are the manifestations of the God driven plan for our lives. But if this is so why would we not be allowed to reach this destinations. To be close but yet so far away to me is unacceptable. I feel that I need to reach my goals, everyone that I set for myself, and if I was not to reach these goals then I have failed in this life.
Next week will be one of the most trying times that I have ever had in life. Not because I will begin the first of my medical school exams, but because my family is cripple and hurting. My only wish today this first Sunday is for HEALING.
Healing to course through the veins of my soul and also of through the souls of my family members.
Healing for my uncle who lost the only child of his seed, healing for my aunt who lost her baby, and healing for my cousin (his sister) who is lost in a tunnel of despair and is finding it hard to return to us.
I ask that everyone pray a pray of HEALING for my family, and for those who have already, please continue to do so . Thank You.
