in him is the fullness of all things

Let me first begin with a tiny little vent-sesh. Our school has a goose problem. A BIG ONE. It's bad enough that the geese squawk loudly every morning waking the poor souls that just want to sleep in an extra 10 minutes. It's bad enough that they congregate at the sidewalks and don't give a rip as to whether or not they are in anyone's way. But the ABSOLUTE WORST thing about them is that they defecate. EVERYWHERE. Well mostly just the sidewalks. But it is so unbelievably obnoxious because you literally can't take a step without trying to dodge a pile. You heard correctly. You know how bird poop is usually all white and liquidy? Well goose poop is more like a doggie doodoo. Cylindrical. Anyways, onto the main purpose of this blog. Humility. It's something that the Lord has been teaching me a lot about lately because, contrary to popular belief, I am not perfect! Let me paint a picture for you.

Well folks, I have officially been in pharmacy school for 7 weeks! God has been very gracious to me during my time here. Its funny how much growing up can occur when you pick up and move to a whole new place and the cool thing is that God is totally present during the whole  process.

My friends Nina, Emily and Alyssa decorated my dorm room door and snuck into my room and filled it with balloons! And to top it off, the balloons were decorated with my favorite things: babies beards birds sriracha sauce oregon beavers tim tebow ... I was very impressed with how well they know me already! In addition to that, friends from Oregon literally lavished me with cards and...

'sup ya'll. I just wanted to do a quickie update and let you know that though I feel it on the inside due to all that studying, I am in fact NOT DEAD. Just totes cray busy up 'n hurrr. I cannot believe that I am more than halfway done with my first term!   Here are some awkwards and awesomes for the last few weeks: Awkwards thinking my headphones were plugged in to my computer while I was listening to an australian man teach me the basics of the stretch reflex on youtube while sitting on the silent floor...they were not plugged in...everyone could hear. when people wear sunglasses inside...weird! trying to eat my applesauce without a spoon. Essentially I was drinking it...not the quietest way to go about consuming food (again on the silent floor!) when the automatic toilet flushes whilst you are...ahem...taking care of business. when the worker at the dining hall calls you "sweetie"... sneezing super loudly (on the silent floor of the library) wh...
