Compiling the end..

Stop and Stare.

 As I compile the end of my semester, I will write a few random thoughts that I'm thinking lately.

• Beautiful things grow in silence.  In my life, I can see that this is true in prayer, studying, learning, speaking, conversations, and in overall relationships.  Silence has proven to me not to be a killer, but a nurture-er(sp?).
• Lack of constant Facebook was ever so lovely this past Lent, mostly because it brought more silence to my thoughts.
• My best friends surprised me early Friday morning with Brooke Fraser's newest album, Flags. 
• I woke up at 5AM Friday to watch the royal wedding.  We celebrated with English muffins, English morning tea, a magazine on the royal couple, ice cream and princess diaries the night before, and of course spoke English the entire time.  I slept through much of the wedding, and from the looks of the couple at some points it looked like they wanted to as well.
• I stayed up until 2:30AM to watch JPII get beatified!!!! I slept through the majority of it as well.  There's a pattern with the whole staying up thing....I'm quite the old lady these days.
• I haven't slept on a bed since Wednesday night due to festivities.  I can't wait for tonight! I shall celebrate my bed.
• My FOCUS candidates had their "party of knowledge" for FOCUS 101. I am bursting with pride for them! My beh-behs are awesome.
• This upcoming week is my last week of classes. Then it's finals, and the new chapter begins. :) My last summer as a college undergrad shall begin!  I am planning some lovely summer plans, and cannot wait. :)
• Today was my lil bro's birthday. We went to Chuckie-Cheese's, got some ice-cream cake, and went home to celebrate.  The grandparents and my uncle came over. I love the occasional family time on Sundays.  Don't get me wrong, Sundays with my community is awesome, but blood family time sure is lovely.

Now time to go back to comparing healthcare systems.
