Today was my first official day of studying. I should have had my first official day weeks ago, simply because of the huge amount of material that I have to not only read through, but know, in the next couple weeks. Somehow, it will all manage to be crammed somewhere in my head, at least until I write that exam (and hopefully for longer!) I guess the good thing is that the sooner these exams start, the sooner I will be done. Which means I can go home and enjoy myself, without being bogged down by assignments and exams. Oh, what a glorious feeling it will be to walk out of my last exam!
Right now, the thought of writing all my exams seems a little bit overwhelming. But, I was thinking about this the other day. Coming here in September, and even coming back in January, everything seemed overwhelming. Exams, due dates, practicals - it seemed like there would never be an end to it. But slowly and surely, one by one, exams were written and projects finished. When taken one at a time, things weren't nearly so overwhelming. And now, here I am, nearly at the end of my first year, able to count on two hands, the things that I have left this year. God never gave me more than I could handle, and all along the way, He was there helping me through. He helped me to persevere, stick it out, and do my best through it all.
Actually, it was a bit of a strange feeling leaving the building for the "last" time on Friday. I won't be back there, except for little things, until classes start up again in September. So much of my life has been within that building during the past 7 months. And it blows me away that we are nearly done our first year! If I didn't know it before, I now officially know that time flies. Unbelievable. Seems like I was just saying goodbye to friends in Regina, and now here I am, preparing to go back there for the summer.
In other news, I enjoyed a nice evening on Saturday at a wedding shower for one of my school friends, Lindsey. She is getting married this summer, but I won't be able to be at her wedding since I will be on my way to Zambia! Speaking of Zambia, things are starting to get rolling with that! I am excited to get home, so that I can be a part of all the planning and preparations.
That's it for me. I've got to get back to studying. You can only procrastinate so long without feeling guilty. I'll post my exam schedule soon, so that you can all know what is going on in my life during the next few weeks. Take care everyone.

Our love and thoughts and prayers are with you in the next two weeks as you tackle exam after exam. God will continue to be with you and lead you through one at a time - so remember to take one day at a time. The countdown until you are home gets shorter - and even shorter than that is the countdown until Jonathan comes for a few days to see your world. What fun you two will have.
Love, mom xoxoxo
