Extrovert or introvert?
Am I an extrovert or introvert?
I've had this discussion with a friend, and I think I am an extrovert. However my introverted side has surfaced more than ever...mainly because I have been out so much meeting up with different friends that I feel like I need more time on my own. I was at home most of Christmas Day and I was very happy "dating myself"...hehe...playing the guitar, singing, watching TV, blogging, reading...I definitely need more of this...but then it's so hard to strike the balance because I don't get to see my Toronto friends very often, and when I am in town I want to have quality time with everyone...haha...I guess I am too ambitious...and I need to learn that there is always a give and take. I can't have both all the time...need a balance. Yes, balance is the key.
So if I haven't met up with you yet, you know why. =)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! =)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
May God's love, joy and peace be with you throughout the year! =) Love you all!!
"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

In a bottle
Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a bottle and you've got no way out,
and no matter where you try to turn you're still stuck at the same place since you're just turning around at the same spot but you're not getting anywhere? That no matter how hard you try to escape from the bottle you're hit by the glass that surrounds you and you feel pain from hitting on the glass for so many times? That all you see from the bottle is the little view through the opening of the bottle, but you can't see anything beyond the small opening of the bottle even though you know there is something more out there?
Sorry if I don't make sense...but this analogy helps me understand how I am feeling right now....stuck in a bottle.
When the brain is "empty"
YAY!!!! I am DONE exams!!! Woohoo....have been looking forward to this break for the longest time. 2nd year OT has been so crazy, but I am glad I am enjoying my break right now...hehe...it's been 3 days! =) Had lots of fun spending time with friends...hehe...=)
It seems like everything that I have learned has been "emptied" out of my brain after my exams, and I have so much more brain space to do
wild thinking. My dreams are all weird too....hmm....my theory is that your brain needs to be filled with
something, and since there is no need to remember where the red nucleus in the brain is, now I have the space to entertain wild
thoughts. Haha...I don't know if this is good or bad....I don't want my thoughts to go
too wild and unrealistic, as I have already been told that I am crazy...haha...
Just let me say
In the midst of exams, I find strength in this song...
Just let me say how much I love You
Let me speak of Your mercy and grace
Just let me live in the shadow of Your beauty
Let me see You face to face
And the earth will shake
as Your Word goes forth
And the heavens can tremble and fall
But let me say how much I love You
O my Savior, my Lord and friend
Just let me hear Your finest whispers
As You gently call my name
And let me see Your power and Your glory
Let me feel Your Spirit's flame
Let me find You in the desert
'Til this sand is holy ground
And I am found completely surrendered
To You, my Lord and friend
So let me say how much I love You
With all my heart I long for You
For I am caught in this passion of knowing
This endless love I've found in You
And the depth of grace, the forgiveness found
To be called a child of God
Just makes me say how much I love You
O my Savior, my Lord and friend

Neuroanatomy exam on Monday!!
I've studied the whole day, but seems like nothing is going in. Man...this stuff is terrible. I don't understand why they put such a tough course into the OT curriculum especially when we don't need this information in our practice at all! Fine, if you put a tough course into the program, at least make sure that the prof who teaches the course KNOWS how to teach! Half of the time he doesn't know what he's talking about and is correcting himself. The rest of the time he is just labelling diagrams, not bothering to explain what he is labelling.
K...I think this is an indication for me to go out for a walk. No point venting here.
I may as well skate, or walk bare feet
Kingston winter is horrible!
There was snow on the ground from yesterday but somehow the snow melted overnight and became ice. All the streets here are like a big skating rink. I could have taken out my skates and skated on the streets. Too bad I can't skate well. What makes it worse is that rain is pouring, and the water makes the ice even more slippery. Thankfully I didn't slip on the ice, but I was so close to breaking my wrist again.
Walking back after handing in my essay, I had to buy things that are needed for today. Rain was pouring, wind was blowing in all directions, every step I took I had to fight with the rain and the umbrella with one hand, while using the other hand to hold onto the bag of things I bought. I couldn't even count how many times my umbrella flipped. By the time I got home, my pants were soaked, my socks were soaked, even my feet were soaked. I was dripping. I may as well walk bare feet on the street. Maybe then I won't even get my shoes and my socks wet.
I can't believe I used all this space to complain...maybe it isn't really THAT bad...but I am just whining like a baby because there are 3 exams and a paper that I need to deal with in the next 7 days...and I just handed in one paper today.
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk by Your side
I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When Your face is before me
I can only imagine
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus, or in awe of You be still
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself standing in the Son
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine
I Can Only Imagine by Bart Millard (MercyMe)
