Of all the times to post... Of course I'm drawn to it either out of curiosity and inspiration (seeing everyone else posting makes me want to join in the fun!) or out of procrastination. Tonight is the latter-- although actually I'm all done with what I desired to accomplish this evening *which, I will reveal at a later date, hopefully!*. In any case, I'm back in school, after an 8 month hiatus. I'm enrolled in *one* class: Maternal and Child Health Policy at Temple University. Since I'm an employee, I get tuition remission. Great motivation to keep one foot in academics! This week I have an in-class presentation and final paper due on Thursday. (P.S. I love the professor, love the class.) Naturally, this would cause me to post on my blog, the ultimate form of procrastination. Plus, after browsing around all y'alls blogs, I have some ideas of how to update mine! *Marc calls blogging glorified and public journal writing. He does NOT support the blogging trend. But he's just grouchy. I actually think it very little resembles my journal and it's certainly not glorified, since the art of handwriting thoughts onto a deliciouslly blank, tangible page is what make my journal glorified, at least in my opinion.*
Pic of me studying for finals, but a year ago, at Yale, in the underground, freezing cold Public Health library. It was so dreary! Nothing near so dreadful these days! One class and summer weather-- wahoo!
P.S. I've grown 2 inches! How? Because it's spring and warmth has finally blessed my life! I realize that during the winter I'm forever hunched over in a desperate attempt to keep circulation moving to my extremities. Now that it's warm, I have more impetus to straigthen up my back, stand tall, and walk without worry! So, every spring, I grow. And I love it! God knew what He was doing, sending me on my mission to tropical islands in the Indian Ocean-- I would have been the most complain-y missionary if I were someplace cold! Love, love, love the sun! May I someday live below the equator again! The pic is deceiving... that's not below the equator... but it was beautiful. This was when Marc and I were dating... boating with my family at Pineview resevoir in Utah.
So I must be blessed being ZL under beautiful sun of a tropical Island together with you I guess ;)
ReplyDeletesadly i think more about what i'm going to write on my blog than what i write in my journal. maybe it's due to the thought of people actually reading what i write. but i wish everything that was on my blog was in my journal. seems a little late to start printing and pasting now. plus... i love the handwritten page of the journal. so romantic.
