Week 2: Medical School Prom


I apologize for not posting in a bit. Spring Break was technically last week, but it continued into this week psychologically for me. So I have been moving extremely slow these past three days.

So the only major thing about week 2 was medical school prom. My boyfriend came down and spent the weekend in Dothan. We went to see Captain Marvel, which is amazing. I highly recommend Captain Marvel to anyone who has not seen it or would love to see it again. We hung out all weekend, and it was a much needed break from medical school.

Prom was amazing. My friend and I got ready at her house and then drove to the event. The venue was absolutely gorgeous. There were two large rooms, probably ball rooms. There were indoor tables set up in order for dinner. While outside, there was a DJ and a couple of bars set up. The outside of the venue was amazing. There were two metal spiral staircases, a large fountain, and many other photo opportunity places. There were overhead string lights and a photo booth as well. The venue was perfect.

My friends and I got there early or rather just when the SGA suggested for students to arrive. That gave us ample time to take plenty of pictures. We got to explore the entire venue before the buses dropped off most of the rest of the students. The night was wonderful. It was so nice to see my friends and fellow students all dressed up and relaxed for once. The faculty looked quite spiffy in their fancy dresses and suits as well.

We ate. We danced. We laughed. It was a wonderful evening. On the way home, my friends and I picked up a pizza just to finish off the night. It was a perfect night with my boyfriend and my friends.

The Fruit Fly Debacle

Fruit flies are evil. They just pop up and multiply uncontrollably. You see one fly the first day, and then you have a whole invading army the next. They are only useful in genetic experiments. Please feel free to attach any research articles to persuade me otherwise. I wouldn't be mentioning these pesky little insects if they weren't conquering my apartment currently. They first appeared about three weeks ago. I quickly started cleaning and trying to get rid of any kind of food that they might feast on. Their population slowly decreased for a few days, but then they came back with a vengeance. So on Sunday, my roommate suggested that we should get pest control to spray the apartment. I was kind of against that because of Winry. I didn't want to let him out in my room for him to accidentally get into some insect poison and die. So the war began. I immediately went out and bought some fruit fly traps and ingredients for a homemade concoction that I re

Be Still

One of the things that the Lord has really been working on with me is just to be still and just spend time with Him either in prayer or His word. To be honest, I am TERRIBLE at it, which is probably why He keeps teaching me why I need His stillness and rest. Medical school is challenging on its own. You have some days of 8-5 classes along with all of the studying and assignments that you have to complete. Then add in the clubs and the organizations that you are a part of for fun and support. Next, add the volunteer opportunities that you want to complete and help out in the community. But what about social time with friends and family? If you can add it in there, great. And what about sleep? Sleep is for the weak. JK, sleep should be a priority, meaning that something else is going to be pushed until the next day. Basically, life in medical school is insane, absolutely insane. I have a bad habit of going at about 150 mph all day, every day. From the moment my alarm goes off in the

Broken Windshields

John Shedd once said, "a ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for." This quote can be changed to refer to cars, people, and so many other aspects. You don't buy a boat to just have it sit in port. You buy a boat to go fishing, go skiing, or to just move from one place on the water to the other. The boat's purpose is to move along the top of the water, not to sit still. We too as humans were made to move. We are to keep moving forward. My college had the motto: Forward Ever, and it rings true even though I have graduated. Throughout the craziness of life's ups and downs, we keep marching forward into the future. When a certain situation doesn't go our way, we move forward. When we don't get the job, college, graduate school (and others) that we wanted so badly, we move on. We keep moving forward. We brave the open seas of life because that is what we are made to do. About a week ago I got a crack in my windshield, the same windsh
