until the good life. seeing my family. being away from the stressors of school. being away from Memphis, though it was sunny and 75 today. Ha!
Deacon Eddie had the sermon this morning. "You must therefore be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:48 He chuckled- "Yeah, right- how on earth am I going to be perfect?!? I am HUMAN, God!" then he says- "It is divine perfection that we strive for."
so instead of trying to be perfect and stressing over the upcoming tests of a million diseases (well 376ish slides worth), knowing full well I can't be perfect, I will try to make a better effort striving for divine perfection.

St. Therese, ora pro nobis!
I GREET YOU, Saint Therese
Of the Child Jesus, Lily of purity,
Ornament and glory of Christianity!
I salute you, great saint,
Seraph of Divine Love.
I rejoice at the favors our Blessed Lord Jesus
Has liberally bestowed on you.
In humility and confidence
I entreat you to help me,
For I know that God has given you
Charity and pity as well as power.
Oh then, behold my distress,
My anxiety, my fears.
Oh, tell him now my wants.
One sigh from you will crown my success,
Will fill me with joy.
Remember your promise to do good on earth.
Obtain for me from God
The graces of our Divine Lord,
(especially …state your petition)
Amen.

congestion
-my planner would be getting pretty filled up, if I used it.
-my room is getting pretty messy (again).
-my car is still smashed.
-i braved 201 poplar (memphis city hall-ish) last week by myself the area for "criminal court" was packed... i was not unsafe, but didn't really feel comfortable. i told dad i wouldn't go back to get another police report.
-my head is stuffed up.
stress is (somewhat) settling in. i had a pretty productive evening on Monday. kaila and i went to Rhodes college to study in their library for a few hours--- the most productive I've been all semester for sure. we had 2 quizzes today. i fell asleep studying for one last night while re-listening to the "electrodiagnostics" lecture-- (exhilirating... not) and thus missed that question. darn.
we threw a surprise birthday party for Jessie saturday night. we invited about 20 friends- each of whom brought a bottle of wine and a food to be eaten with it-- a byob wine tasting. i baked some chocolate cupcakes and was told they tasted like Muddy's chocolate cupcakes. ("Muddy's" is a cupcakery) we had a great time. she was surprised-- to the point of tears and big hugs. our friend Jessica, who is FINALLY back in Memphis from her externs in NC and CO helped us sooo much by decorating and cutting up cheese. we could not have done it without her, that is for sure.
well. i think it's time for supper. kaila put a potroast in the crock pot. mmmm mmm mmmmm
