Midterm wave 1 down...

Well, my first set of midterms are over.. thank the Lord! I dont' know why, but this year seems to be going by a lot quicker that third year. I feel like i'm on the express bus and missing everything that passes me by. Before i know it, xmas will be here! But i still have to settle down for my second wave of midterms this week. To help me get through my studying.. yes.. i went to starbucks :) But today.. i tried a new drink..

MAPLE LATTE
If you enjoy the taste of maple, you'll like this. I thought it would be extremely sweet (because of the maple) but it actually wasn't. It's a combination of expresso topped with STEAM MILK (gotta love) and a maple-flavored sauce and maple drizzle to top of this deliciousness. If you really want to indulge.. top it with whipped cream.

When I rolled out of bed today, i thought it would a be a normal sunday. Go to church, praise, learn and come home to study. But for some reason or other, while i was listening to are AWESOME praise and worship team praise our lord.. i begin to tear up in the middle of singing. I really didn't know why because today's worship was soooooo good ... like.. AMAZINGLY good! But i really don't know why. I guess the words really spoke to me in worship.. how He IS the lover of my soul.. my bestest friend.

newho.. got to settle myself down for some more studying session.. i really can't wait to get off this express bus.. so i can slow down and enjoy everything good in my life :)

Everyday is a leap of faith.

Are you ready to take the leap?

As i was studing, i came across the first line on my cup of coffee. Just aroused many thoughts and feelings that i can't quite pin point...

A reason..

What are parents? They are the ones that are suppose to provide us with love, warmth, care and comfort, safety, and plenty more. But are they still "parents" when you no longer feel these?
If they get into fights.. are u suppose to choose a side?

A child tries not to choose a side.. but it's just that much harder for you think of both sides.
A child breaks downs and cries, but there is no shoulder there...
but the last person expected to be there was there.. her brother.
For a brief moment, she was proud (once again) that she had this brother.
The mind is racing and you just wish it would stop so you can focus and concentrate.
The child thinks.. just pick a side.. its much easier.
But its not fair.
You are given things from above a reason.. it may because they rely on you as much as they rely on them..
Or it maybe something else.. that you are to discover.

People ask.. but a wall is built to block the emotions.
Or maybe the wall is just there to keep others fell strong as well.

Dreading midterms...

It's not even the week of my midterm and i feel soooo drained! I think its all the pre-studing for the exam that really puts a toll on my energy! So.. after my 10am-7pm day today.. i got in to my lil civic and drove to Price Choppers and got myself a lil treat! IT's McCain's CHOCOLATE CAKE! I really shouldn't have any seeing how after my nutrition assignment i found that my sodium count is OVER the roof! :(
But i'll try NOT to finish the whole cake.. by .. my.. self... ummmmm. This just makes me forget (for a brief moment) that i have oodles of midterms coming up! So if u have exams too.. cheer up and, Marie Antoinette said, Let them have CAKE! :p

Studying is more enjoyable with starrrbucks!

For calorie-wise drinkers, forego the white mocha and stir with honey (my friend Jen Jen's idea)!

Starbuck cup readings: "The Way I See It #179"
"The problem we face in public education is not 'what' to teach our kids, but rather 'how.' How do we inspire them to want to learn? That's why afterschool programs are so importatnt -- they answer the 'how'." ~ www.starbucks.com/wayiseeit.

Maybe a lil strong (hence the coffee aroma when you go pee pee), but it'll keep you eyes open and your nose in the books!
Happy studies!

There use to laughter, there use to be lil arguements, there use to be tears.
But no more.
You can no longer genuinely laugh, no longer have the lil arguements, but only tears that can't get out.
But no more.
You dont' know what to do.. you dont' know where to turn.. you dont' know how to turn back the time.
But no more.
You tell yourself NO MORE.
You remember that there are those less unfortunate.. and you turn to God and pray for them and pray he knows that you want no more of this.
