now that finals week is done, {and my cortisol levels have diminished significantly,} i am thinking much more clearly. i probably no longer have impaired glucose control, or sleep deprivation. {all three are things that happen when an individual is in a crisis situation, as i have learned in psychology.} this clarity has brought along a lot of peace about everything in my life. something i have been seeking after for quite some time.
the weekend was fun. although i had an icu final, after that i told john we would do nothing but play! {it was raining outside anyway, so there was no chance of doing yardwork - for which john was grateful!} we ate cafe rio for lunch, went shooting {one of my favorite saturday dates!}, and went to hibachi with ryan and janessa for dinner:
i've decided that i love hibachi. it is worth going for the fried rice alone! and we had the "fuzzy wuzzy" sushi as well. {isn't that a funny name?} so by the time my steak came, i was already full....
other recent happenings:
spending tuesday and wednesday with the family and spending about ten hours playing mario party with andy jack {and going on bike rides.... and having sword fights.... all things i love!}
preparing for taiwan and getting the butterflies every time i think about it
planning our last temple trip before i go abroad
drinking lots of diet coke
anything but studying
