time for an update i suppose...

not much new w/ me in all honesty.  school is going as well as school can go, though i'm really stressed about doing well on MCAT.  i just don't have enough time in my day to devote much to studying specifically for it b/c i have so much stupid biochem to do!  and when i'm done studying for classes i'm so exhausted that i either take a break or sleep, (or sometimes even try to go out and have a social life w/ my friends).  as test day gets closer i seem to be having more and more doubts about what i'm getting myself into and about the really extensive med school application process.  i guess that is normal, or at least i hope so anyways.  the only thing that seems to get me through the day w/ out worrying about it is knowing that all my hard work will never be in vain as long as i am doing it to glorify God.  i just keep praying that my questions will be answered and that his will be carried out in the way i am living my life so that i'm not doubting my weaknesses (which i've been doing a lot of lately), but trusting his amazing power.  i am definitely struggling spiritually and emotionally right now, but i know i will overcome.

hope everyone has a fantastic weekend

hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  here goes w/ a random update:

here bored in dville for about another week assuming i go skiing...  someone give me something to do!  actually i have been busy most every day since i've been home, but there are still a lot of my dville peeps i haven't gotten to hang out with yet and that makes me sad b/c i won't be living here over the summer...so my days at home are limited!

took a road trip to oklahoma a few days before Christmas and stayed in this awesome 2-story cabin in a little town called broken bow.  it was soo much fun!  we pretty much lived in the hot tub... very relaxing! : )

i'm hopefully going to be buying a digital camera very soon!  i have had the same 35 mm camera since i went to spain 4 years ago... ya i know that is pathetic.  i'm tryna to get on the good foot with the whole technology thing for a change though, slowly but surely haha.

on a serious note, my extended family is going through some pretty serious domestic problems right now and it is really wearing on my mom and grandma, so if you could please keep that in your prayers i would very much appreciate it.

have a great week!

sick of school and everything in general right now...  thank goodness the semester is almost over.  i miss being able to spend time w/ everyone b/c i'm so dang busy studying all the time... it is frustrating

my car was completely coated in ice wednesday night and thursday morning, and i couldn't open the doors or trunk... that was interesting.  i hate cold weather so much, not even going to lie.  is it summertime yet??

this post seems so negative, but i promise i'm ok!  Good luck on finals everyone : )

"For those who trust in the Lord, He will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint"  Isaiah 40:31

i can't beleive it is already november!  i love the cool weather, but dread the "cold" weather that will follow... y'all know how i freeze below like 60 C...

as usual, i have been extremely busy with everything.  friday the 14th i went home to dallas to spend the evening w/ my family.  saturday i went shopping with my mom : ) and that night cat and i drove to north dallas for lindsay's 21st bday party!!! we ended up going dancing at club uropa after dinner, which was so fun!!  i love you linz!!  in other news, brittany, shane, and i have started playing tennis again on friday afternoons.  one of these days shane is going to get so tired of losing to a girl that he'll actually beat me... i am prepared for it.  last thursday ppl came over and we watched Saw, which is a really good movie in my opinion.  i cannot wait to see Saw II!!!  friday night i went to a costume party; saturday was the game..which sucked horribly; saturday night another costume party.  monday was halloween and brittany's 21st bday!  happy bday britt : ) 
lately i've been really relaxed about school stuff.  don't get me wrong, i DO study 24/7, but lately, i really just don't feel like being a perfectionist and don't do as thorough a job as is typically katie.  i'm getting burned out on school (bad sign).  things are only going to get harder from here, and i am praying that i will be able to get through it all and still be sane... and preferably happy.  hope everyone is having a good week so far!

ps.  what did you dress up as for halloween?

so things have been REALLY busy lately.  i literally have had no free time... and i'm also guilty to say that some days i value my sleep over taking a shower.  oh well.  lots of studying for anatomy and biochem... the usual.  i had a test today in lab, which went ok, and i'm very glad it is over!  i stared an MCAT prep class last week through kaplan that meets every sunday afternoon 2-5.  sounds crazy to start studying for a test that isnt until april, but i have to do well on it, and need the structure of a classroom to keep me motivated.  i'm glad the weather has cooled off somewhat... upper 80s is amazing compared to what it was earlier this month.  lol this is the most boring post ever so i'm going to quit now, haha.  i'm going home to dallas for the weekend for lindsay's 21st bday!  i am excited to see everyone!!  have a great weekend!

question of the week:  what is your favorite thing about fall (besides cooler weather)?
