Friday tomorrow.

Another Anthro class at 10 in the morning followed by a Physics. I wonder how my PH3 midterm went - there were 4 questions on it, and we were given two hours to solve all four. It took me a while to come up with possible approaches, but in the end I settled on one that I thought would be most correct (obviously) - we'll see how it goes when results come out? The Neuro 1 exam really came out as a pleasant surprise to me - I guess God knew how stressed out I was about covering 200 pages in 2 nights along with trying to memorize parts of the brain taken from different sections and cuts. :-) It's all done though, at least for now. I'm relieved - took a break day tonight, too. Saw bits and pieces of an old movie and smiled as all the mushy scenes came on - hahaha.

Off to a campus Christian fellowship retreat tomorrow. Not sure about how it's going to turn out - it's getting cold here and I'm not really feeling like leaving the familiar confines here. I'm feeling a bit more nostalgic as each day goes by; perhaps it's also the thought, excitement, and anxiety of knowing that home's merely seven days away.

God's been incredibly faithful and has given me great blessings to work with. I can only do so much - but somehow the grace always come through and manages to accomplish unbelievable things for me. Admittedly, everything here, including me, is still a work in progress - but you know, there's many reasons to be optimistic and look forward to the best outcome. I am here for a reason...it's kind of like when you're stuck in a cloudy day, and you wonder whether the sun's really shining up there - perhaps even if all the clouds vanished and were drawn away, maybe the sun wouldn't be there anymore. But no - it's not like that. No matter what, the sun's there. I'm constantly reminded and reassured..."I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."

And I'm thankful that God's taking care of Mel for me, too. :-)
