2 Weeks Later

Sometimes, I just want to sleep...

It's been 2 weeks and I apologize for not making an entry the week before.  Life simply got in the way and I did not feel motivated to make a post about the happenings of that week.

I've registered for Winter Semester classes!  I missed the 2 classes I wanted the most, but it's okay, I simply substituted them with 2 other classes I'll have to take for medical school.  When I look back, I think my life had taken an 180-degree turn.  I never thought I would be studying sciences again.

To break it down, I will be taking MMBio361, PWS340, Chem351, StDev272, PHYS105 and 107.  So, I'll have a grand total of 6 classes and 14 credit hours.  Not too bad.  That will keep me busy for the most part.

I am sad that I'll have to drop my Communications Minor because there's no way I could jam it all in without delaying graduation and med school application.  If I just wanted my bachelor's, I would have been able to do all my minors.  For the record, the only minor I'll have is a minor in Molecular Biology.

I've been feeling deflated lately because of the things that have been happening in my life, but thankfully, the Lord has provided ways for me to overcome them and everything turned out better than expected.  I have my worries, but I know things will work out as long as I do my part.  I need to focus more!

Sometimes, I like to think that's me.

I am distracted easily and seem to be more and more worried about my future lately.  I have no idea how I can fit everything I wanted to do into my life.  I worry about grades and sometimes the interpersonal relationships I strive to maintain.  I'll admit, I've been quite sloppy about being a friend lately, but everyone gets that way once in a while.

I had an interview with the bishop today (mind you, I'm not in any sort of trouble).  I just wanted a pick-me-up.  One thing I know I'll have to work on is building that personal relationship with the Savior.  More meaningful scripture studies instead of the "fill in the quota" readings each night.  Even more important is my temple attendance.  I have no attended the temple since June I believe.  Now, that is not healthy.

Bishop Hart also gave me a blessing, which was much needed.  I know I have home teachers, roommates, and even best friends that could offer that service, but sometimes, I want a father figure to perform that ordinance because I feel slightly lost in the struggle to build a reputable career.  My parents are great people, but they could not offer that kind of help because my dad does not have that power.

In other news, I tried to visit people more often, especially those I home teach.  I need to be friends to those I visit and not simply do it because of duty, obligation, or mere preference on my part.  My dad always said, "God is very fair because He gives each person 24 hours a day."  Life is a journey and I hope to fulfill my potential and do the things I was meant to do in this life before I've procrastinated my days.

So what now?  Well, like the flowchart in regards to happiness suggests, if you are not happy, change something and see what happens.  Good thing I know what are some of the things I may have to change.
