i had a friend tell me that speaking languages she's not comfortable in is kind of daunting and scary but that she's gonna take a risk and take a class where she's forced to do just that.
we had our praise team potluck today and aside from the fact that i'm not eating dinner because i'm just too full, i think i came away with a greater excitement to be on praise team. but ultimately, I think i came away with the desire to try something new.
so.

next month, i'm going to try to play keys. which is a huge step for me because improvising is something totally non nature to me. even though i'm done piano, it's all things i was TOLD to do. trying to make my own music.. that's... haha yes

mindless?
this week was a whirlwind at work and I don't even remember half of it. Tons of office politics and learning when's the right time to ask questions or just wait for people to cool down from being mad at other people. overall though apparently i'm efficient, quick to learn, and integrate well in the team.

work
Work has been SO rewarding. Not only do I love my team and what palliative care IS, but I think I've found my niche. Research is SO exciting and to be part of a team that takes problems from the clinical perspective and does research on it to make things more applicable... now THAT is real research.
One of the studies I'm working on is a prognosis study.
Prognosis = estimation of how long someone has to live
Basically... it's not accurate at all and I'm going to be presenting that at a conference in april. Quite excited!
And last week I got to translate for a korean patient because the Korean translator wasn't available. HOW REWARDING to be able to understand both sides and facilitate communication.
Finding out that I'm working with a family friend was pretty cool too.
Definitely loving it so far. Hopefully it's this exciting for the next 8 months! And hopefully (cross fingers) I'll be able to integrate after I graduate :D

2011 Resolutions
- go to the gym more (check! been going every other day. This week going to attempt going every day. But definitely PAYING for a membership motivates me to use it)
- rest more. like REAL resting. Haven't been really good at it to admit but this past weekend didn't go out as much because I KNEW i would regret it if i did
- read the bible every day. Already failed at this despite having daily verses sent to my phone
Faithful
At the comment of a friend, I've decided to get off my lazy butt and start blogging again. I'm gonna write a couple entries since some of them are saved and just not published. But SO much has happened in the last two weeks that I don't know what to make of it and whether I'm stressed or not about it all. But I'm learning to take each day as God gives it to me and to trust that He's got it all covered :)
Chris Tomlin has a new album that I now have thanks to a different friend. One of the songs, I've been listening to on repeat because it SO speaks to what i'm going through right now and it's a HUGE encouragement.
Faithful, forever You are faithful
Father to the fatherless
You uphold the one who feels forsaken
You are faithful, God
Faithful, forever You are faithful
Lover of the wounded heart
You defend the poor and the forgotten
You are faithful, God
And I will sing to the maker of Heaven and Earth
God, You reign forever and Your will endure
Faithful and true is the name of the Lord
You are faithful, God
Faithful, forever You are faithful
Shelter for the fragile soul
You lift us up, You hold us all together
You are faithful, God
You are there in every season of my soul
You are there, You're the anchor that will hold
You are there, in the valley of the shadows
You are faithful, God
