| so i sat next to a lady at starbucks today as i was studying for my mcat (< 2days!!), and here's what she told me. i think this applies to all grad school/future plans.
- decide for sure which medical school to go to (research v. clinical)
- patient care- ucla v. usc; no money/some. look at the level of empathy that the school's medical students have for the patience- indicative of what the medical school emphasizes in terms of patient care
- east coast different from west coast
- make sure you will be able to be happy, motivated at that location for the next 4-6 years of your life
- remember once you know you're going somewhere- you'll be happy, whereas if you don't know, each moment will be rough and filled with dount (is this really where i want to be? what i want to go? is it worth it ($)?)
kind of random, i know- this lady (a former rn) sat down next to me, asked me about why there weren't any students at this starbucks (it's summer), and how immunology is so cool. and then she told me all this, after i mentioned i was studying for the mcat. and then she left.
somehow, for some reason, i feel like she is someone from God- reminding me in the midst of stress and med school admissions, there is something more.
ps: they're handing out free small sandwiches and mini smoothies at starbucks on shattuck & cedar. so spoiled.

| before anything, let me just say that i just ate the most amazing strawberries ever. my mom is the best.
but yes! summer is wonderfully here (for cal state/berkeley kids), and if isn't for you, you're almost done/you're done w/school anyway hehe :). i was planning to be home as of tomorrow, but my summer plans have gone a complete 180, and i'll be here in berkeley for the next six weeks taking summer school (taking philosophy- prayer against warfare!!), before heading off to china :D. these plans are all current of this past friday night at 10:30 p.m.- crazy i know! i was so looking forward to coming home. but the parents came up this weekend, and i'll be home next weekend (hopefully by thursday night, but we'll see what the job says) for sure. i guess in all this, and in thinking about med school and the upcoming China missions (msg me if you want a prayer letter!), God has definitely shown me how i really need to trust Him in all things. i never realized how many times i do rely on myself, in big and in little things. to fully and consciously commit all things to Him.
wow i just realized that it's 11:20 and i have...homework. sigh i thought i was done with school! hehe. more updates coming soon...take care!! peace

| Phillips Brooks once said, “Pray the largest prayers. You cannot think
a prayer so large that God, in answering it, will not wish you had made
it larger.” (from today's our daily bread)
how often when we pray, we ask God to answer them in a specific way (2 kings 5:1-3, 9-14). i know i'm guilty of that. but God says, if we remain in him, to ask whatever we wish.
what a promise! =)

| A PRAYER FOR FINAL EXAMS
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not flunk;
He keepeth me from lying down when I should be studying.
He leadeth me beside the water cooler for a study break.
He restoreth my faith in study guides.
He leads me to better study habits
For my grade's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of borderline grades,
I will not have a nervous breakdown For Thou art with me.
My prayers and my friends, they comfort me.
Thou givest me answers in moments of blankness;
Thou anointest my head with understanding.
My test paper runneth over with questions I recognize.
Surely passing grades and flying colors shall follow me.
All the days of my examination,
And I shall not have to dwell in this university forever,
AMEN!!!!! | | |
