Well it's only been 2 weeks since I wrote something, so I'd say that this is a success.
I had a big pathophysiology test today, and I have a few minutes to spare now that that is over.
Thanksgiving was last week.
It was so nice. I didn't have class on Monday or Tuesday, so I was home for 7 days. That's the longest I've been home since last January, which was a long time ago. So sleeping in until 9, real food, family, and franz were so welcomed. All good things.
Coming straight back to school to study for my patho test was a rude awakening though. But in 7 and 1/2 days, I will be DONE with school for the semester. That's right. Done. Done with the first semester of P1. And tomorrow I'm done with my IPPE for this semester, and I never have to go back to that pharmacy again. Praise the Lord! Tomorrow night at 5 can't come soon enough.
We're having footie-Christmas in a few weeks. Prettty excited. Glad we are able to do it. Bring on the footies. Bring on the pineapples. Bring on the dollar-store presents and good friends. Haha.
Also. Loving the Avett Brothers these days. The Second Gleam album is where it's at.
That's about it for now. Samford is as Samford does. Boring.
Sara Beth, YOU COME BACK IN 17 DAYS. I hope you have the best 17 days ever, but I can't wait to see you!!!

Well I'm Doing It
So look at this! Record breaking - This is my second time to blog in three or four days. A little better than two times in three months.. or six months.
But anyways, this week has been interesting so far.
This semester has been a marathon, and for some reason, my teachers want us to sprint the last two miles. But let me tell you, after you've run the first twenty-four miles, the last thing you want to do is sprint (I never actually ran a marathon, but I bet this is true). We have two big tests at the end of next week, then thanksgiving break, then a test the monday after Thanksgiving, then exams, with about 3 or 4 projects smashed in between things. That's right. I am currently the closest to finishing this semester than I've ever been. In one month (minus two days), I will be done. DONE. For 7 weeks. Get at me, Christmas break!
But that's enough about school.
I've been thinking about rest a lot lately.
Probably would consider it my "word of the semester."
I have a hard time resting. Sitting. Being still. Allowing Christ to restore me. Allowing others to take care of me.
True rest is hard. Especially for people who want to be in control of everything that's going on. And want to have everything checked off of their to-do list before they take a break. And want to succeed in every thing.
It takes surrender. Trust. Thankfulness.
It is so easy for me to get anxious about tomorrow, about the next few weeks, about the next few years. It is so easy for me to remember things that have happened in the past and allow my fear to cripple me. It is so easy to try to see my present circumstances and either (a) be a brat allow them to shape my attitude or (b) take them in to my own hands and deal with it in my own strength, instead of opening my hands and allowing Christ to be glorified in whatever I'm doing.
I had never considered rest to be a form of worship. I've been reading a few things this semester that have changed my opinion. My mom gave me a small devotion book, "Jesus Calling," that is written as if Jesus was saying these words right to me. And on one day, it says,
"Worship Me only. I am King of kings and Lord of lords, dwelling in inapproachable Ligh. I am taking care of you! I am not only committed to caring for you, but I am also absolutely capable of doing so. Rest in Me, My weary one, for this is a form of worship... Worship Me by resting peacefully in My presence."
And another day says, "When things may seem to be going wrong, trust Me. When your life seems increasingly out of control, thank Me... Cry out of Me in My name. Affirm your trust in Me, regardless of how you feel. Thank me for everything, though this seems unnatural - even irrational."
Those were already a lot of words that probably don't make the most sense, and I have class in 14 minutes, so I'm leaving it there.

So I Can't Help It
Well Sara Beth just called me out for not blogging.
I can't help it.
Every few months, some one will make a comment about how I never blog, I'll blog once (maybe twice if they're lucky), then I forget. Not that I don't have time, I just don't make the time. I choose to jump on my bed in my new socks. Or rollerblade on the third floor of pittman in my nightgown. Or study in my puffy vest. But maybe, just maybe, I'll start blogging again.
I have class at 8 and a test at 10, so I'm reviewing over my notes in the caf right now, listening to Kanye. Great time.

So I'm Back
Well I've been at Noah's for a few weeks now, and it's been good. Hard. Tiring.
We trained on the river for 6 days, all paddle boats, and it was really good. Really fun. But very cold. We spent 5 days backpacking this week, and that was not as fun. They blindfold us, send us out in groups of 4 into the wilderness, and we have to figure out where we are and how to get to the coordinates that they gave us. But my group was none of my good buddies, so that was really hard and not very fun. But then on the second day we all met up, so it was especially good to see all of my second-year girls again, and my good guy friends. We did some more things, but it's over now. Praise God.
I start commercial trips on Tuesday, so I'm a little nervous about that, but it should be good. The water is starting to get big. It's cranking. The snow-pack is ridiculous this year, so hopefully it'll be a continuous high-water year, as opposed to last year, where it got HUGE for a week, then was just mediocre the rest of the summer. But we shall see.
None of those words were interesting.

So It's Almost That Time
Well I didn't wait three months to blog this time! However, I did get to spent alllll last week studying for an analytical chem test that I had on Friday, and then I spent this weekend studying for my geography and physiology exams that I had today, and now soup and rice - I am studying for my analytical chem exam that's on Wednesday. But after 12:30 on Wednesday, I am done! And I will officially be done with undergrad. At the ripe age of 20.
The remainder of this week holds a little more promise. First off, SB is home, so hopefully I can see her ASAP. Watching chick-flicks and hanging out sounds a littttle more fun than chemistry. Yay. Concerning Samford though, I have a tonn of RA things to do, errands to run, friends to hang out with, etc. And on Thursday a couple of people are going to our friend Daniel's lake house, till Friday afternoon, so I am excited. Thennn, on Saturday morning, Jeff graduates, we are heading straight to Huntsville for his best friend's wedding, and then off to Colorado! We are driving the 4runner, so I am pumped. Minus the whole driving and sitting in the car for 24 hours. But that's ok. It'll be worth it.
Ok. Back to studying. Fun times.

So. Oops.
Welll. I didn't realize that it's been two months and twelve days since I last blogged. Amy Jones subtly reminded me of that by posting on my facebook wall, saying "you can't just walk out on things liz. you have a blog, remember? you started it and now you're stuck with it."
Thanks.
A lot of things have happened since February 16th. Holy cow a lot. Lacrosse (practice 4 days a week; we went to ATL, Auburn, and the University of Florida to play). Spring break (Destin and then Fairhope, with Kaleigh and Courtney; ran a 10k). School (13 more days of undergrad; no big deal). Furman (finalllly went to visit SB!). Went off-roading in the 4runner (on the way to the rope swing). Got my ear pierced. Tore a tendon in my foot (no spring semester is complete without a boot). Easter.
But now I'm here. Sitting in the library. Just got done with some analytical chem homework, and now I'm about to go to bed. Yes, it's 8:41 pm, and I'm contemplating bedtime. We had a flea market today for part of Spring Fling, so I sold some embroidered shirts, but stayed up till 3:30 last night making them, and got up at 8 for breakfast. So my brain is saying "it's time to stop trying to function." So I'm about to head back to my room and make a 9:18 bedtime happen.
But before that - I think I started this almost exactly one year ago. To be able to update errbody in the club (aka SB) about Colorado. Where did a year go? On May 14th, Jeff and I are going to drive out to Colorado, and I will be a second year guide. It hasn't registered in my brain yet.
Oh, a little bit more important. Tornado town last night. Tornadoes came through Alabama and tore up Tuscaloosa and other places around here, and a huge one touched down in downtown, and another one tore up down 280. This also hasn't really registered. I remember sitting in the basement of Pittman for about an hour, but because I haven't seen any damage with my own two eyes, I haven't thought much about it.
Ok. I have a migraine from sitting in the bright sun this afternoon during the flea market and from not sleeping last night, so I can't think anymore. I will try to blog more in the next two weeks, even though I have exams, RA stuff, and to get ready for CO. And I will definitely blog during the summer. Duh.
Sorry this was boring.

So Many Options
Well I'm working in the RA office and I planned on doing a lot of studying, but people were in here till after 11, and now my brain is tired, so I didn't get a ton done.. But that's ok. I'm not really worried about my physiology test Friday and I haven't really thought about my quant test (which got moved to next Wednesday). But I probably should be. Doesn't matter. C's get degrees, especially once you're excepted into pharmacy school. Haha.
I was skyping with my friend Daniel, from Noah's, last night, and he mentioned his 30 by 30 list. I had never heard of such a thing. But he said that it's just 30 things you want to do before you turn 30. So like a short bucket list.
I did some thinking, and I need a 30 by 30.
I thought up a couple things during my classes today, but I only have 14. And some of them aren't anything special. I don't want it to be something that every body wants to do, but also not things that aren't possible or ridiculously expensive. Here's what I have so far (the numerical order does not represent priority):
1. Run a 1/2 marathon.
2. Finish a triathalon.
3. Build something great, on my own.
4. Learn to sew.
5. Get my ear pierced again.
6. Get a butt tat.
7. Get plastered (just once.. after I turn 21).
8. Go to Washington state and/or a national park in the west.
9. Go on a backpacking trip for fun (can be combined with number 8).
10. Fast.
11. Learn to tell time quickly on an analog clock.
12. Streak.
13. Snowboard.
14. Peak 2+ fourteeners.
So I need 16 more.
Any ideas?

So This is Short
Well I have lacrosse practice in 45 minutes and I kind of need to be studying right now, but I just got out of class and had a real quick lunch, so I figured I could take a second to blog.
Step Sing was reallly good this weekend. A lot of the shows were fantastic and really funny. Dudes-A-Plenty (the independent boys) won Sweepstakes for the second year in a row. A lot of my guy friends were in it, so it was cool to see them win.
Nothing really exciting is going on here these days. Our first lacrosse games are this weekend. And my friend Daniel invited us over to his apartment for a rave on Friday night. So this weekend should be fun. But I have my first quant test next week, so when I'm not at the lacrosse field, I will be studying quant and probably panicking. But I just have to make C's this semester in order to keep my spot in pharmacy school, so I'm not tooo worried.
I had my RA re-application interview last week. It was actually fun. And pretty funny. I'll post my re-app video on facebook soon. But anyways, hopefully next year I'll be an RA again. Courtney is applying too, so there is a possibility that she and Kaleigh could live in new Pittman (they're renovating and adding on to Pittman), and I could be their suite-mate, and Courtney could have half of a hall and I'd have the other half. Hopefully. We'll see though.
4 weeks till spring break. (Only 3 for you, SB!)
3 months until this summer.
Oh yeah, the Avett Brothers are coming to Samford April 30th. No big deal or anything.

So It's About That Time
Well, I let it happen again. I even started writing a post a few weeks ago, but then saved it as a draft and never came back to it.
But I'm back at school. I feel like I've been here for months, but I've only been back 3 weeks. I have lacrosse practices 4 days a week and I've already had a lot of fun being back with my friends. I'm taking Geography 101, which I can't tell if I like it or if it frustrates me, because it's such a joke. It's my easiest academic class, but I feel like it's such a waste of time. I'm also taking physiology, which isn't tooo bad. Yet. But quant. It is ridiculous. I have no earthly idea what is going on in that class. And my teacher knows chemistry better than I know english, so he doesn't understand the fact that no one in the class knows what he's talking about. So when I ask him a question, he just keeps repeating himself, and doesn't actually explain anything. So that's been a party. But most importantly, I'm taking karate. It is so fun. Virginia and a couple other of my friends are in that class, and it is by far the best class I've taken at Samford. Our "teacher" is named Sensei Karl. He has blonde hair and blue eyes, but talks with a 85% Japanese - 15% eastern European accent. It is odd. Naturally, I laugh about 50 out of the 60 minutes that we're there. I can tell that Sensei Karl doesn't like when I laugh out loud, so most of it is in my head.
All together school had been fun so far. Until this week. I just got really overwhelmed with all of the work I have to do (I have a physiology test next Friday and a quant test the next Monday, plus a bunch of little things), so I've been going 90 mph this week. Yesterday I was gone (talking to my teacher, class, lunch, lab, dinner, library, meeting) from 9:45 am - 11 pm. And today, basically the same thing (except the library after lunch, and babysitting and working in the RA office after dinner) so I left my room at 10:20 this morning, and I won't get back till midnight. And for some reason I've been getting up at 7 to go run. Needless to say, I am exhausted, which is making me be so whiney.
I got my letter that said I was officially accepted to McWhorter School of Pharmacy for the fall. But I'm not excited. Weeks like this week, and especially days like today just suck the life out of me. :C
Oh, but I did pro-deal a Mountain Hardwear down jacket and a pair of pants, and I got those in the mail Monday. They are perfect and I love them. The puffy jacket feels like I am just laying in a cloud, so that makes up for the thousands of pokes that have been delivered by Courtney and Bobby. Haha.
Hmm. Step Sing starts tomorrow night, so that should be fun. I don't know most of the themes, so I am really excited about going.
And next weekend we have our first two lacrosse games. They are home games against Alabama and Ole Miss.
Then after the 21st, my physiology and quant tests will be over and I can breathe for a second.
Spring break is in 4 weeks and 2 days. I cannnnot wait.
That's about it. I have to go watch and answer questions on a documentary about Muslims in France.
Sorry for the whining.
These pictures are from one of my last nights home.
Katelyn and I went down to the bay on a full moon night.

So Boring
Well, I don't really want to blog right now, but I need to, or I never will.
I only have one and a half more days left at work. Get some. I know that I will actually miss it a little bit once I leave, but at the same time, I don't really feel like I've had a Christmas break. It's been more like a "Christmas let's do a different kind of work." But that's ok. I'm making money and learning a lot of pharmacy things. I know I will be very grateful once the summer comes and I need things like food and shelter and clothing in CO, and when I start pharmacy school in August.
Oh, pharmacy school interview on Thursday, January 27th at 9:00 am. So if you think about it, pray that God will give me the words to say and that'll I get accepted. When did I become big enough to be in grad school? I am a kid.
Here is a picture that I took when Virginia and I went kayaking. Kaleigh decided to add a little something special.
I've also been thinking about Noah's a lot lately, because David is applying and because I want to be there so badly, right now. So here is a picture of a couple of my good friends from my guide class. Minus the four boys on the right. But don't tell anyone I said that. They're nice.. We're just not besties.
Also, my brain is very confused. About something totally different. Wild Sweet Orange has a line in one of their songs, and it goes "Am I running away from what I've always been running towards?" And I feel like you can take that however you want, but right now I feel like taking it in my own way. About two different boys. No specifics, just in case of the random occurrence that they or someone either of them knows reads this. Well, I can give a general. An old boy, who I secretly have always hoped I could spend the rest of my life with has come back in my life. But his presence is actually pushing me towards a different boy. Oddity. I don't know. I love being a free bird and doing whatever I want, and I don't feel like I'm in a good place for a relationship right now, so everything I just said is kind of not important, but my heart is confused. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid I am possibly leading both of them on. Oops.
I only have one and a half more days left at work. Get some. I know that I will actually miss it a little bit once I leave, but at the same time, I don't really feel like I've had a Christmas break. It's been more like a "Christmas let's do a different kind of work." But that's ok. I'm making money and learning a lot of pharmacy things. I know I will be very grateful once the summer comes and I need things like food and shelter and clothing in CO, and when I start pharmacy school in August.
Oh, pharmacy school interview on Thursday, January 27th at 9:00 am. So if you think about it, pray that God will give me the words to say and that'll I get accepted. When did I become big enough to be in grad school? I am a kid.
Here is a picture that I took when Virginia and I went kayaking. Kaleigh decided to add a little something special.
I've also been thinking about Noah's a lot lately, because David is applying and because I want to be there so badly, right now. So here is a picture of a couple of my good friends from my guide class. Minus the four boys on the right. But don't tell anyone I said that. They're nice.. We're just not besties.

So the Sun Shines?
Well, ever since the day after I got home from school, I've been working at Pharmacy Services, at Mercy Medical Hospital, about 1.2 miles away from my house. I go in around 10 or 11, and get off around 6 or 6:30. I do have a lunch break from 1-2, but I haven't seen the sun in weeks. Except when I have seen it. But either way, I want to frolic in the sunshine. I want to just be free and wild and outside, not have to be shut inside with pills all day long. But I can see the day light (figuratively, not literally - it's 11:26 pm)! I work all day this Monday and Tuesday, but then only the morning on Wednesday and then I'm done! I have Thursday off, and then I'll go back to school on Friday! Yayy.
I really do like the pharmacy, I was just there a lottt this week. I have been working berry hard. Making bank. Learning tings.
This past weekend, Virginia drove over from Mississippi, and we went kayaking on Saturday, and then hung out with Katelyn, Bethany, Tyler, and Hayley on Sunday. So that was a lot of fun. I love Eb.
Also this past weekend, most of my friends went back to school. Well, the only important part of that sentence is that David went back to school. Most of my friends down here are punks, but Katelyn and I spent like every night of our break with David. We all built a bookshelf (which really just means that Katelyn and I watched him build it), and we had a bonfire, and we went on adventures, and all kinds of things. We had so much fun.
Let's see what else.
Oh yeah. Got a new car. Black 2005 Toyota 4runner. Get some.
Jeff found out that he is going to be able to come back to Noah's this summer, because his job won't start till August! Praise Jesus! I am so glad. Jeff is so cool and I can't wait to be at Noah's again together. Hopefully our parents will let us drive my new car out there.
I'm heading back to school on Friday. I'm nervous about my classes, but I am very excited about getting back to Samford and hanging out with errbody. I loove my Samford friends.
That was a lot of random facts/sentences thrown together. I am going to try to start blogging more than I did this past semester. We'll see what happens.
SB, I finally caught up on your blog. I love it. I love what God is showing you. I love you.
