April is going by so quickly. I'm sure May will be here and gone in a flash. One more blink of the eye and I'll be walking across the stage of the Bren. Wow Mom Wow. Everything seems to be sinking in a bit more with each passing moment. I have been faced with the realization that many life choices have to be made relatively soon, that the thrill of a new chapter in my life will be met with the sadness of closing another, that so many changes are going to happen within the span of just a few months. So this is what it's like, ay? Having older friends who have graduated before me, I always wondered what it must feel like...to graduate...to step into the real world...to be faced with many new trials. Well, I'm trying to be optimistic despite the fact that everything's been very surreal lately. But I trust in the path that He has laid out for me. This is where I find my only solace. Knowing that He will be there with me through it all...the joy, excitement, pain, and suffering. I know I'll be okay.

Wow...those last few lines made me ask myself...who am i? Not the same person I was a year ago that's for sure. And I'm happy about that. I'd like to think that I've grown in all aspects of my life, that I've become better. But I know that we are all called to greatness, and this is my new goal.

I told Cristina that I was sad that I didn't do anything of "greatness" this year. Nothing really big to be proud of. But now that I think hard about it, there's some things that definitely stick out. They might not be anything of grand scale, but small things with great love is accomplishing greatness indeed. :)

Ok, I feel like I've been rambling on about nothing. I just wanted to write something on here. Back to post-lab-ing. Peace everyone!

P.S. Look at the baby!!
