I'm back.... Though I've never had one until now, I've had the habit of stalking people and waiting for them to update their blogs. When I finally figure out how to, I hope to add links =)
Rite now I'm in the science library at UT taking a study break, and yup checking people's blogs=p. One of my new favs is another classmates' "Life on 124 Edward Street."
He writes about things he notices around him and since we spend most of our time in the dental building, its usually dentally related. He's also in charge of the dents 0T5 webpage so I suggested putting links to people's blogs. His reply was that people see him everyday, don't think they would like to read his blog.. true.. Maybe I'm just strange, Jen and Andy have only had their blogs for a couple days and I think I jacked up their counter.... yes prostho is very boring...
I think I like to read their analyses and comments of the seemingly mundane life of a dental student.
Yesterday when I was ranting about my seemingly endless workload, my mom reminded me, your lucky to have a chance to write those exams. And indeed, at some point last summer I wasn't sure I would be able to return to dental school. In the past, I was really fortunate that my parents supported me both in spirit and finance to pursue whatever educational goals I wished. My dad worked his way through high school and university with 4 part time jobs, and believed that if he could he wanted his daughters to be able to try all that life had to offer. And with that freedom I've ventured from a convent school, to an international school, a liberal arts college, UT and now dents without ever having to worry about finances. In retrospect I know I was really extravagant in my educational choices and I was spoiled in that I never had to bear any of the costs. And last summer, with my father's sudden death, I was at a real lost. I really didn't know where to start.
Things have worked out though, and though I hear many complaints about the dent faculty, Donna Crossan (assistant dean) really helped me through this one. She totally understood and contacted the bank for me and guided me through the loans process. So as I'm sitting in the library watching the snow pile up (in April!!!) I'm reminded to be thankful as my mom puts it, that I have a chance to write these exams.
More things I'm thankful for today:
- people in dents, who help me get through the day but more importantly help me survive this year (hopefully until finals=p)
- for lunch time, all the laughs- an oasis in a days of endless lecture
- O -and another honorary Yuen sister, jas
- tough times - as my god father put it, now I have to learn how to manage money =p
Verse of the day:
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:3-5
