it's that kind of a week

so here i am. on a saturday night, waiting for my laundry to dry up.
i decided to make this blog because i felt like it'll give me more room and space to jot down things more freely than xanga. therefore, there'll be times when my sentences are runon or the topic of my sentences just change drastically. it's not my fault that my thoughts just hop run and speed that way.
anyways, a lot has happened this past week. first off, election 08. not only was i able to participate in my first ever election, but it also happened to be the most historic on ever. i mean, everrrr. Barak Obama, a black candidate running for president against a candidate with the first ever female vice president, Sarah Palin. how insane is that? change is really happening huh?
speaking of change, i feel as if sometimes, change is happening too fast. so fast that i get caught off guard sometimes and i don't really know how to respond to it. changes in myself, relationships with others, the environment i'm in, and so on. a lot has changed for me for the past few months i have been in school as a sophomore. i'm learning a lot too. maybe a little too much in a short period of time? school and all the other good stuff that goes along with it has been going fine. work has been good too, i've been learning a lot from the grad student periodontics- my days at work are fanning my passion to become a dentist more and more each day. besides all these "good stuff," there are some gliches here and there. gliches in certain episodes of my week, where when i look back and think it through, i can't see where and how it came about. sometimes, i want things back to how it was before, to a certain place and time. but then, i quickly come to a realization that i can't be living in the past. what's done is done and all i have left to do is: to live for the present and hope for the future.
God has really been stretching me this year. i am able to get a small sense of what His heart is. i'm still learning to love Him more through His word and through the communion of prayer. but it's hard. i'm trying and yes, prayer does indeed work.
