| During a fit of insomnia last night, I came up with some goals to help me prioritize and maintain perspective for the next couple years. Things to do after getting out of optometry school:
Learn to dance
Get better at playing the guitar
Take singing lessons
Learn Krav Maga
Learn Koiné Greek and practice hermeneutics using the Septuagint Find my soulmate (maybe) Things to do while in optometry school:
Do well in school
Get ripped
Fortify my spiritual core by experiencing the gospel on a deeper level through struggling to be more loving, unconditionally giving, wise,
insightful, emotionally mature, faithful, and disciplined- and failing to do so, yet finding grace when I do
Form deep, meaningful, and mutually blessing friendships (maybe) |

| I've come to realize that I tend to choose the people I want to be friends with, and once I've picked them, I'm relentlessly loyal. While this has resulted in a few very cherished friendships, it's pretty hit and miss, and these days, it feels like this quality will be the death of me. On an unrelated note... here's one of my favorite quotes from the Firefly series:
"I look out for me and mine. That don't include you 'less I conjure it does." ~Mel |

| I just had the most phenomenal tea experience. Sophia's mom, a master of tea, spent over an hour preparing (roughly translated) "elixir of legendary flower ascending dragon" tea imported from China.  |

| This week is going to be hell... my heart is still torn over these two people who are always on my mind, plus four exams this week. I have a hard enough time not going emotionally haywire without the added stress of school and lack of sleep.  |
