And it begins!

So after listening to so many people say that i should get one of these (and telling them that i never would!) i finally have a blog. and hopefully once i get used to it i'll make it a little more funky with pics and links and stuff...lol
so where do i begin...i am (still) attending St.Clair in Windsor for Med Lab Science (thats all those yucky lab tests that docters order) and cannot wait for second year to be over (april) so that i can actually start into working at a hospital! i have two roommates - who are fantastic!! :) And am going to a great church - very solid in the Word - where i am getting to know alot people, which is great!
For those of you who knew (and i guess the ones who didn't) i went to Pakistan this summer, i suppose i should catch up a bit about that! it was absolutly fantastic!! i fell in love with the people and the culture...and really didn't want to leave! there were 6 of us and we stayed with my friend's family. it was amazing getting to know the family, and really learn about the country through their eyes. the best part was doing the day-to-day things with them, sitting and talking while we washed clothes or - tried to - do dishes, or having evening chats with Rani (my newest sister!). I miss it. once i got back home (lol...which is another story for another day...oh the adventures in traveling!) i realized how easily i got swept into the rush of our culture.
don't you find we move too fast? i think we have lost the art of sitting and talking with someone and not caring about the time, while you genuinely care about what they have to say. i pack my schedual too tight with things like school, and homework, paperwork, and prestige...and miss out on the more important things.
i guess that has been on my mind alot...hense the blog name... all those 'other' things should not matter if i live every day with the mindset of "if this should be my last day". i mean there isn't anything inherently wrong with doing these things and doing them well...i quite like school and like putting the brain, that i was intricatly created with, to work! but i guess i am just realizing the necessity of slowing down and putting more emphasis on the eternal instead of the earthly.
hmmm...so who knew i would jabber on in my first blog.... oh well, thats me and my thoughts.
well, i must get to sleep...early morning tomorrow.
Until next time...
