Madam Secretary

Okay, two posts in one day? I might be going insane, or I might be procrastinating the six student assignments that I have to do soon. Oh well.

I have finally found it, the show that I could actually watch again and again. While I've had friends who have watched shows like Friends or How I Met Your Mother over and over again, I've never really found that show that makes me want to just watch it more than once. Well, that's changed. I've found my show.

Madam Secretary. Yep, that's the one. It sounds utterly mundane to probably most of you, but I love it. The protagonist is real and so relatable. And her relationship with her husband? Oh man, THAT is the relationship that I want one day. Elizabeth and Henry (the main characters) are the spitting image of the marriage that I want to have one day if it is even possible. I could go on and on, but I'll let y'all watch how they interact.

From a writer's standpoint, the characters are dynamic! They change; they grow. The minor characters even have some plot development. That is refreshing. There is humor, and there is sadness. The show has a bit of drama with some relevant politics. It's great. Seriously. You should go watch it one day in your free time.

As for me, once I finish the last season, I will rewatch it and wait impatiently for the next season.

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
