My last day being a 22-year-old...

Hello all! I'd just like to point out the injustice of having to be in school on my birthday... this has never happened before in the history of my educational career. Why? Because school should NEVER last throughout the summer; having summers off is supposed to be a perk, enticing you to continue your education! Oh well, at least we don't have to take a test on my birthday, there is some justice in medical school.

Now for my exciting news... Stephen gave me a blue iPod mini for my birthday (see picture below... the one on the left)! Isn't he the best ever?! Ialmost died when I opened it... music and blue in the same package?! That's how you spell bliss my friends. I almost couldn't believe it. I'm totally stoked about having music with me wherever I go now. The only downside is that this gift could be bad for my study habits this week... it already has been in fact. Perhaps if they kick me out of school for shirking my studying duties for portable music bliss I can begin my career in iPod commercials... or finally break into an e-bay commercial or something. Other birthday fantasies include: a haircut, a facial, iPod accessories, any sort of music item, another 4 weeks added to my summer break and/or a Batmobile. (I absolutely loved "Batman Begins" by the way; I've seen it twice already.)

Well, I supposed I should mosey on back over to my studies... the time has come, I shall procrastinate no more. I hope everyone is having a great summer and comes to visit me while I have "nothing" to do after July 1st! Peace out.



Happy Music-filled Birthday to me!

trip to San Antonio was muy bueno

Stephen and I on our trip to visit Becky in San Antonio. We also got to see Trisha and Farron, so it was like a mini-reunion! We even got to do some karaoke while we were there, which is where this picture was taken.

"But if you never try you’ll never know just what you're worth..."

Here's one of my new favorites by Coldplay. I was watching their appearance on VH1 Storytellers and was impressed by a lot of their songs that I'd never heard before. Great lyrics and the music is really moving. I highly recommend it! I burned it onto a CD for my and Stephen's trip to Abilene for Father's Day... I think I drove him crazy by playing it over and over. Oh well, one of my many flaws that I hope is more endearing than annoying... only time will tell.

Back to studying for me. I'm so ready for school to be over... only 2 more tests and two weeks! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

"Fix You" by Coldplay

When you try your best but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above and down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
But if you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And i…
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And i…

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
