It has been a while!!

I haven't posted in quite a while and a lot has happened since then. I had intentions of making a post right after the New Year but my schedule hasn't made that possible. I have a couple of New Year's resolutions. One is to get more healthy, I know that most people say that every year, which is the case with me. However, I have been on a diet since the start of the new year and I have lost some weight so it is actually working. The second one is to become more open with people in my life not that I have shut them out of it, but that I just want to share my life with my friends and family on a deeper level than I have before. Something that doesn't happen very often, but I actually came through on one of my New Year's resolutions last year and did well enough on the MCAT, better than I expected actually. So I am in the process of applying to the Rural Medcine Program that is offered through Auburn University and UASOM, and I'm cautiously optimistic that I will get in.

Another big happening in my life has occurred since my last post. On November 18th, 2008, I was confirmed into the Episcopal Church. It was something that I had been thinking about for a long time and it felt right and I can honestly say that it was the right decision. I have found my home for my faith and couldn't be happier with my church. It was nice to actually feel at home in church, which hadn't been the case for a long time, and maybe not ever. It is nice to know that wherever I go my beliefs and theology will never be regarded as wrong even if people do not agree with me.

I will make a concerted effort to post more often, because I enjoy it and it allows me to get some things off my chest that I cannot otherwise. Now it is back to Grad School World and writing my thesis.
