Writing, Beach, and Tea Company

I'm starting to wear out. Need the 4-day weekend to rejeuvenate. Dr. Mel & I caught up over yummy omelet breakfasts at the local mom & pop eatery Flapjacks. Then, I had a long day of classes, but my evening was packed with work and Bible study. I came home after class with just enough time to crash for a 30 minute nap. I zonked out and it was refreshing! At 5, I met the Triune editor and Dr. John for an interview at Stonewood Grill & Tavern. Great food, fun conversation, and a killer interview! I get to spend the weekend transcribing it for the next issue.

Other items on the agenda include studying radiology pathology (so I can actually pass the first exam), learning Pettibon x-ray line analysis so I can teach it to the club next Friday, and writing up a case study with DeJeanne of her scoliosis corrective care and results. It's going to be a packed weekend, but I'll do as much as humanly possible. Besides, I'm so happy I'll get a chance to catch up with Allycia tomorrow for a green tea frappuccino at Starbucks / Barnes & Noble. Tomorrow, Katie & I are doing a beach run. I haven't been out there since finals week, and I'm missing the view! My courseload for the quarter just upped from 30 hours to 34 for a couple of electives. May is going to be BUSY! But, I wouldn't have it any other way.

It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.

Oktoberfest

Last night, our Bible study (plus) celebrated Oktoberfest as one of our monthly dinner events. Aside from the typical 5 of us gathering together, we were joined by a "plus" of friends who've been meaning to check out the Bible study. So, subtract the actual study of the Bible, bring on food and beer, and it's an instant hit with all who were previously wary. I was babysitting for a classmate, and her 2 lovely children joined us in the festivities. They liked their German "hot dogs" (I didn't call them bratwurst since I thought the very name would cause them to turn up their noses) and of course the pumpkin cheesecake. However, the youngest didn't like the smell of sauerkraut one bit, he said it was "stinky". So, we went outside to enjoy a beautiful October evening.
