This semester has been tough with usual 14-16 hour days and seriously no time for anything besides school. I'm at about a third of the way through the semester and in spite of how chaotic life has been these days, I find myself really blessed with the little things that keep me from going nuts:
- finding the single parking spot next to my apartment upon coming home after a late night in lab
- being famished at school and yet finding a hi-chew on my desk (happened twice with two different friends!)
- having friends offer me their dixie cups, plaster, PVS material, acrylic, help, etc. after a rough day in lab re-doing a ton of work
- an understanding boyfriend who not only always drives up to Hollywood to meet me, but also shows up at my apartment with groceries cause I didn't have time to go
- friends to commiserate with during those long nights!
- a friend who would sort through extracted teeth for me and take x-rays of them (in addition to her own) because she knows I'm still trying to get faculty help on other work
- the unexpected text message from a friend saying she was blessed by the praise set during Sunday worship
- church friends who always keep me in the loop and meet me more than their fair share of half-way even when I'm always MIA
- a certain friend in lab who never fails to crack me up with his absent-minded tendency to lose things and replay youtube videos of 'Glee' numbers
- having gym buddies to burn off steam on frustrating days
Just to name a few...
