THE SIMPLE LIFE

WHERE'S THE MOTIVATION?

Oie! So I'm back in Chicago safe and sound. I was planning to make my first blog the journal entries I wrote while in Haiti. But I've realized that if I wait until I've typed them all out, it'll be a looong time before I post something - hence the title!

Been going through a roller-coaster of emotions since coming back. Luckily, God gave me the opportunity to dump how I felt with two people so that I can finally organize my thoughts and see where I have been lacking. Thanks to everyone who has given me support by e-mail or phone. Once again, trying to get back on track. Does this yo-yoing back and forth ever stop? Guess not...or at least I haven't reached that point yet. Reason #2 for the title.

Last night we had our "eye-ball". Yes I know it's a geeky name for an optometry school but we love play-on-words. I did eventually go dateless cuz no one was willing to drive 8 hrs for a silly formal; what's that all about huh? *grin* But still had a blast, except for when they played slow songs, which was 1/2 the time. So if I go next year, I'm finding a date...even if I have to drug them! The thing that made my night though was when I got to dance a song with a classmate who's into swing. It's so much fun when guys know how to lead! (*Psst* that's another hint!) All the upper years have been warning us that this term is going to be killer but after a night of getting jiggy, I don't want to get back into studying. Reason #3 for the title.

I promise the Haiti trip will be posted eventually but just a brief update, it was nothing like I was expecting/hoping.

I will be coming back home for Easter weekend so if anyone's in T.O. and want to get together, I would love to spend time with you - let me know! =)
