While reading medical ethics I was contemplating life, mainly because I was reading about what it means to be considered dead (both cardiovascularly and brain). This led me to have a conversation with Nick about how we need to figure all the health proxy stuff as soon as we get married! Crazy to think people could just be in a vegetative state, where they are just stuck in their bodies, paralyzed, unable to do anything except minimal reflexes, breathing, and heart function. It made me realize how precious life really is and how I want to be as specific as I can in my living will that way my family will not have to fight if God forbid something would ever happen to me.
I found myself looking back on the past couple weeks this week too. I was looking back on how I studied, and how I have to adapt this block for the new teacher. I was realizing that a simple change here or there can throw me off. I am going to take this weekend to really focus on work, and try to get a lot accomplished (I even had time for a glass of wine, shh!). And well I can say that I did take the weekend and really got a lot done. I now have to do a little bit of each subject every night and I should be okay! I mean it is not hard to forget stuff that is important when your professors repeat it 10 times until you get sick of hearing them say it!
This weekend was hard for me. It was my baby cousins 1st birthday and my Dad's 50th birthday and party! I knew all of my family was going to be in, including my little cousin Alana. I did get to skype with everyone though which was much needed! My baby cousin even was reaching for the camera (it was very cute!) I am thankful that I get to see instagram and Facebook pictures of my family and Nick's family, keeps me up to date. Though it is hard being here and not being able to be with the people that matter the most to me, but I know in the end this is where I need to be to get where I want to get in my life. Also I guess after all the pop up rain thunderstorms, unbeatable heat, and bugs this place isn't so bad after all (after all it is a tropical island that is gorgeous!)
This past week was full of adventures! I went into town with Kristy and Britt on Saturday (the last saturday) to celebrate Kristy's birthday and have an adventure. We went to the port and got a taste of the island, even had a little bit of time at the beach! I then went into a crazy week of school filled with thunderstorms, LOTS of reading, and not much down time. I was feeling overwhelmed but talking to my parents and nicholas helped a lot! I have 2 more weekends before our next set of blocks exams with not 4 exams but 5 this time. It is going to be a VERY long day for me, but at the end of the day I will get to talk to Nick since it will be our month-a-versary (I know we are too sappy, but when you're in a long distance relationship it is the little things that matter the most!)
At the end of the day I am learning a lot, experiencing life lessons, and couldn't be happier with how my life it turning out. I can only thank the big man above for that!
I miss you all, keep me in your prayers as I am keeping you in my prayers!
(Fingers crossed no hurricanes any time soon!)
Until next time!
