"...speaking words of wisdom, let it be"

today was amazing. i can never be too down if the sun is shining. what was even better was that after eight hours of restful sleep (though i woke up in the middle of an opened netter's atlas, yellow flashcards and haphazard notes surrounding me as my light shone from last night), i resumed studying and i got a shady call from dave asking me what i was doing and if i had a few hours to spare...

you guessed it as i did... HE WAS DRIVING UP with my mom, aunt, and grandma :)))

i was very efficient in studying (kinda), but had a few cleaning, fb, snacking and shower breaks. they arrived around 5:30 and we hung out after unloading the car that was previously filled with FOOD. i haven't been spending money on food due to my lack of car and excessive studying, and they are quite concerned. i should say it more often - maybe i'll get more visits!! so we went to yama on south main street, which is a sushi and korean place with aunt ann's friend chen and his wife. i ordered the salmon teriyaki and nibbled on the assortment of korean appetizers. i really dug the sweet potato tempura. yum. it's always nice to be reminded that people are proud of you.. it encourages you to keep going when it gets tough. they drove me back and then i am back to the daily grind. dave i will need those pictures you took - this blog looks so empty without some photos.

speaking of which, this one is from cynthia's wedding - i love these girls.
