Church Finally

Finally got off my lazy @ss and went and found a church today...One of the girls on rez goes to one every sunday...so i asked if me and my roommate could tag along....the church is called RiverRidge and I was pretty surprised to see how many similarities there are between the church here and the ones back home. I have to admit I had my misconceptions of how West Virginia churches would be....but this one was really refreshing. The worship was amazing...songs that I knew and the team was really good.. The message was simple...but very effective ...Basically talking about prayer and different ways people can effectively talk to God...

I think today was definetely needed...Granny's not doing well back home....things seem to have taken a turn for the worse...cancer has grown and spread....and i think she's in the hospital now...chemo isn't an option anymore and basically now it's just keeping her comfortable....I think basically one of my worse fears of coming back down here might come true...I'm praying everyday and all the time that GOd would keep her comfortable and keep her strength. But i know that if its time...she'll be in a better place.

Semester's off to a busy start...tons of assignmets and quizzes to study for...First big exam is pathophysiology on Feb 1st... I want to go home already..

An occasional cry is alright right?

Well...I'm back....got into the rez about an hour ago..unpacked...went to get some food...and now im eagerly awaiting the Edmonton/Calgary game which i'll watch streamed...woot

I cried a good long cry yesterday for the first time in awhile...(in public that is)..
mom and dad came into the room as i was gonna go to sleep and i was getting a little sad already before they came in....so they started praying for me...and when it got to my turn...i couldn't talk..since i was trying to hold in the tears...then boom...it just all came out...runny nose boogers and all...haven't cried liek that since....can't really remember.... I think it's a combination of things....knowing that i won't be back till May...which really isn't that long....missing family..friends...and most of all Granny.....Just the thought of her going through the chemo treatment scares me...not knowing what could possibly happen and if God takes her away early...so got my mom and dad crying too...and they finished off praying for me since i coudln't do it...
I'm a quiet guy who keeps his emotions to himself....so i think for my parents...it was a big shock seeing that from a grown up guy lying in his bed....but it's good once in awhile to let the stuff flow out...and not keep it all bottled inside.....

So here we go on the second semester of first year pharmacy school...hopefully it'll be as successful as the first..

One more week left

exactly 7 days till i head back down...starting to get a little depressed..haha
home's been great...lots of going out at night...but haven'[t had a chance to do a lot of other stuff yet...Taking care of granny during the days cuz everyone's at work...and that's been okay...i think she's getting better every day...so that's comforting..
I'ma ctually getting a little bored now...not studying for a month can really shut down the brain...hopefully it won't be too hard to get started again next week..

Went to T&T..bought some noodles/snacks to take down...will prolly make a trip to superstore to pick up some more stuff...and prolly head to the mall to see if there's any good deals on clothes too..

This week should be packed with stuff to do...last week here...Aunt's family is taking me out to smuggler's for prime rib on tuesday...woot...been craving that for awhile..
