Busy bee is me.

Due to the start of my anatomy class last week and my studying for the GREs, life just got a whole lot busier for me. I've pretty much been having 12 hour days, with class in the morning, work at night, and some studying here and there. But hey, I'm not complaining. I actually enjoy my anatomy class, and I appreciate its high demands. Surprisingly, a couple of my middle school classmates are in my class! Weird, huh? In the same way, I am enjoying learning all of these new vocab words for the GREs. It would be nice to start sounding pedantic before I start grad school. Maybe I can trick them with my big words. Haha.

As for my work, I must admit that the long drives have been starting to get to me. It's getting more difficult for me to exude patience during my sessions simply because I feel like my longer days are wearing me down. I just need to make this my sacrifice and remember it's for the kids! I'm so proud of most of them for the progress that they have made, while others you can tell just don't care. That's what's draining about this job: trying your hardest to get them to care. Props to teachers...the good ones especially. Seriously, props.

My volunteer work at LAC-USC has been going pretty well. I've obtained a very different opinion of the hospital since the first day I walked through their metal detectors. Haha. The people are actually very friendly and I love the diverse environment. I never really wanted to work in a hospital, but I think I can see myself working here (way more than I can see myself working at a Kaiser). I'm excited for when we move into the new building. The ER is going to be the biggest in the country with 100 some odd beds in that department alone. Crazy, huh?! I'm excited.

On a side note (which really shoouldn't be a side note because it's Lent and this should be my focus), a random observation of mine from the past week is that I need to fit prayer back into my life. I know that there are a lot of people going through difficult situations, and I need to be the prayer warrior that I used to be. I need to try harder. Oh Janice, you suck sometimes. Our pastor always said that if you're too busy for Mass, for prayer, for Him, you're just too busy! So, I need to prioritize because I know that I can't do all this by myself. Still, for all those going through their ish you're in my prayers forreal. Hang in there!

And this is my study break so I hope you enjoyed. Real quick shout out to Bmay and Julienne for visiting me yesterday. You should let me know ahead of time so that we can eat something more LA than Islands! haha...and so that we can be more decisive and won't leave BJ's after already being seated! OMGas! Ya, that wasn't embarrassing at all! haha...j/k.

Maybe another blast from the past picture blog to come...
