back!!!

After some debating, I have decided to keep up with the blog since a few of the most important people in my life enjoy reading what I put on here. :)

The past several weeks have been quite a whirlwind. I can hardly believe that it is OCTOBER (in a day or two!). My days consist of going to class and studying, and it has made the time pass so quickly. I have not been home in a little less than a month, though it seems like it's been longer than that! I will be venturing home this weekend for a much-needed break from school.

It has been monsooning in Charleston this week! It rained ALL day Monday and most of the day today. The roads have been flooding. If it was not dark outside and if I knew my car could handle it, I would go drive and take pictures. It is crazy how quickly the roads become covered with water, especially when the tide is in.

School is going fairly well. My grades are okay, some better than others. I survived the first round of tests and the next round is starting up now! I have had 4 quizzes and 2 tests this week, and it has been quite stressful! I am learning how to manage my stress and prepare far enough in advance and get enough sleep so that I am not so stressed out. Thank you, Lord, for helping me survive!

It has been by God's grace that I have made it through these first few weeks. The adjustment to living in Charleston and being in an intense program has not been easy, but it has helped me to see how much God is there - not just when I need him, but ALL the time to give me strength and to just keep going!

I have made a lot of friends. It's funny how going through the same things brings people together. I am so thankful that I have met so many great people at pharmacy school who have been nothing but wonderful!!!

I am going to bed soon. The rain makes me want to sleep and sleep some more!

I am going to try to be better about posting - every day, I hope! I know that while I was in Costa Rica it helped me to de-stress at the end of the day and reflect on all that happened to me, and it also helped me to see God in every little thing that happened throughout the day!

Have a great night!
