"statement."

"i'm happy to have met such a great guy. i think that it is almost impossible to meet someone like him. there are quite a few adjectives that i'd use to describe him, but let's put it this way...if you know me well enough and you were me at this moment, you'd feel (as michelle pfiefer in grease 2 would put it,) 'exciting weird.'"

that definitely made my week.
affirmation like this is extremely difficult to find.

it's been a tough week and i'm glad the weekend is almost here. driving to hemet three days consecutively is miserable...let alone driving there just once. hemet is in the middle of nowhere 20 minutes or so away from the closest freeway. it's in the desert so it's obviously hot. the shifts at the hospital go by slower than ever and i'm more exhausted coming home from clinicals than ever before. it only gets harder by adding all this with all the things we need to deal with in the classroom. august is definitely much more challenging than i anticipated.

the nike+ human race is about 24 days away! i'm getting in better shape and i'm feeling more and more fit. i don't think i'll be completely ready physically at the time of the race but i'll be good to go nevertheless. i wish others were doing this with me but i'm chill with the reality that this will be something i do on my own. it's will be a great personal experience for sure.

the art show is this sunday.
location: Saint Paul the Apostle in Chino Hills.
"VICTORY"
hosted by the young adults ministry.
starts 7:30am and ends at night.

i finally started on my pieces yesterday. i've been incredibly busy so my plans for the art show haven't been a priority. it was nice to paint again and i'm glad to have finished 1/3 of my project. i hope to finish it all by saturday afternoon. it's not going to be the flashiest pieces nor the most visually spectacular...but it will be inspiring. it will be art indeed.

the first crosstrainer meeting of season was tonight. it was great to see both old friends and new faces. i'm glad more people have joined and a good group of people have come back this year. every season is different...but this one will be the most different personally for me. i won't go into every detail (you can check past entries for that) but i will state that i will spend this upcoming year expanding my horizons in faith and nurturing my passion for God and to help others in many ways. i will miss many meetings and retreats...but i will still be a crosstrainer nevertheless, because this is the time that i prove it more than ever in the world and beyond the ministry and the church.

-------------------------------------------------

to all my friends that i have not been able to chill with much,
haven't seen in awhile or talked to, and/or have experienced
anything negative in the course of our friendship/connection...
i apologize for my part in those circumstances and situations.
i've been carried away with my work regarding school
so i haven't been able to be the friend i want to and should be.
i miss out on so many things and i hope you will all understand.

don't worry...there will be more days off in the fall and
i'll be down for more adventures
once school is done with at the end of february.
