Still alive...just in exams...

So, I didn't blog last week, and missed it on Tuesday. But here I am.
It's that time of year again and I'm back in exams. Bah!
One day, when I'm a millionaire living in an Irish castle, I'll look back on these stressful times and laugh. Until then...back to the books I guess:)

Good luck candidates!

I just wanted to say that I hope the black belt testing is going well for all the candidates.
I know it can be an incredibly grueling, exhausting and sometimes even disheartening process, but hang in there. I also found it to be one of the most worthwhile, rewarding things I've ever done and it was a priveledge to take part in.
Just remember, we're all behind you and if your ready, you'll make it.

For those of you who are not grading right now, but planning to in the future, it's important to realize that that day can come sooner than you think, so don't wait until your last year to up your training.

Once again, our thoughts are with you Sihings!

Sweet sweet coffee....

Listening to celtic music on AOL radio right now...pretty cool stuff.
And trying to work on my biology assignment. Emphasis on trying:) Tuesdays are now my least faverite days of the week. I only have two classes on Tuesdays, but one is at 12:30, and the other isn't until 6pm. The break I have from 2-6 is just long enough I want to go home, but short enough that I have a hard time justifying the gas....
And my 6pm class doesn't end until 9pm! I tell you, whoever thought up that genius scheme was not a friend of mine! I like to refer to it as my weekly death march, but that's probably being over dramatic.
So ya, I'm sitting here, listening to celtic music, staring at my bio article and drinking coffee, trying not to fall asleep before the death march begins....
I don't know if I'm gonna make it...*gasp*....but hey, at least I have coffee! Sweet, sweet coffee:)

Physics is what killed Einstein...I'm sure of it!

Totally not feeling the blogging vibe today. I just spent the last 4 hours or so doing physics and my brain feels like a pile of jello...
Mmmmmm.....jello.....
As I said, I'm not very focused right now:)
Stupid Physics eating away at my soul!
Oh well..maybe in the end I'll be better off for having done it. I better be:)

Happy Times

So I'm feeling pretty good about life right now.
I got officially accepted into the faculty of graduate studies yesterday...so I'm now officially starting my Masters in January (assuming I graduate:) I'm so excited! A big weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and now all those nights lying awake worrying about it don't seem to have mattered at all. I feel like I'm on the right path and I can't wait to get started. I consider this proof that prayer totally works! Thanks big guy!

My training is also coming along. I've started to devote more time and put in more effort and it feels great! I'm having such an awesome time helping out with the beginer class. Those guys are definatly a source of inspiration.

I'm still working part time scanning things on the micro-ct scanner for the fall and tomorrow I get to participate in a training seminar. I'll learn alot, I'm sure!

So ya...I'm pretty happy with my life right now. Everything seems to be falling into place after years of struggle and doubt. I hope it stays like this forever!

But if it doesn't that's ok, because I'm going to enjoy every minute of it and savour it. Then I'll have awesome memories for when I'm not feeling so motivated:)
