Things and Thoughts

I haven't bitten off a nail in a month.
I'm really liking this French Canadian singer Coeur de Pirate.
I'm trying really hard to wake up during the 7 o'clock hour every day but Friday.
I'm working on this art project that involves painting over newspaper and hanging it on the wall.
It was 2 degrees outside when I woke up this morning. I have never felt anything so cold before.
Yesterday I started looking at my bees to prepare them for the scanning electron microscope.
I'm feeling like I've been productive.
I'm proud of myself for staying on top of my schoolwork (mostly).
Last night I thought about how lucky I am that I've gotten to live with Marie for so long.
I'm falling in love with the Mormon Women Project.
I love that Harriet is my visiting teacher.
I'm really nervous about the MCAT, but the study book is on its way and David has agreed to study with me over the summer (and Marie has agreed to quiz me before then).
I'm scared of Boyd and Hayley going off to grad school and I feel like a fool for hoping that I'll be able to get into a med school somewhere within an hour or two of them so we can still have periodic visits.
But at this point I'll be lucky to get into any med school.
The visiting teaching message last month was about the history of Relief Society. One of the women that I (and Megan) visit teach talked about how the Restoration wasn't complete until the Relief Society was organized, meaning that the organization existed in the days of Christ. I loved hearing it and it made complete sense to me. Visiting teaching can and does often benefit us more than those we visit.
I haven't made anyone dinner since Sunday. It's Wednesday morning and for some reason that bothers me.
Last night as I was praying I thought about something that makes me anxious and worries me. And then I realized that Christ knew exactly how I felt because He had already felt it for me. It didn't necessarily help me stop worrying but it comforted me.
