Rants & Rambles

I)  In my personal opinion, every girl deserves someone who will fight for her.  Somebody that will especially place his pride on pause and demonstrate persistence. Somebody tenacious and honest at heart. I am far from knowing all the imperative components of a healthy relationship. . .however, when hardship begins to knock on the door, every girl deserves somebody who refuses to walk out.

II)  Since last Friday, I've gotten into the habit of waking up every morning and running two miles outside with my pup.  He gets more excited than I do running under the blistering sun.  (Why IE must you be so uncomfortably hot?)  . . .but, it's an effort to get myself back into shape after the school-related stress that kept me from stepping into the gym.  Oh and not to mention; to do some damage control from all the foods eaten back at school.  It's a convenience to have my car available on campus to do those late night study breaks to Taco Bell . . .but after a semester of doing so, I've come to realize that fast food and meat need to be off limits this summer (unless In N Out is involved ;)

III)  Ben Howard is such a talented musician.  His lyrics are original and especially refreshing.  Here are a few videos that I have unconsciously replayed a good 100x each ;).  I hope you enjoy!  His 2011 album, Every Kingdom, is wonderful and definitely worth your time.  Open up your Spotify app. and type in this talented fellow in your search bar.

" Promise" 

"Old Pine" - (my personal fav).

"Keep Your Head Up"

IV)  I miss you.  A lot.  This whole ordeal isn't what neither of us want, but for the time being, it's what we need.

Dream Sweetly,

<3NIX

"...And wipe the mark of sadness from my face
Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace
Tell me that you still recall my name

So, the storm finally found me
And left me in the dark
In the cloud around me
I don't know where you are
If this whole world goes up in arms
All I can do is stand
And I won't fight for anyone
Until you move my hand..."

Currently on repeat.

NUMERO uno

NEW blog! Post numero uno.  I'm not really sure why I have a tendency to create a new blog after a year or so, but . . .here's another!  let's hope that I follow through this time.  The school year is winding down and I can't believe at how quickly these two semester have flown right on by.  The only burden lying on my shoulders is whether or not I'll be home in May.  Glendale will be calling those qualified for the summer internship by next week, and if all goes well, I'll be working for their hospital without having to stay here to complete my practicum.  However, if things don't go as planned, I've been asking God to give me acceptance and understanding.  Two things I can't seem to have on my own during times of disappointment.  In the mean time, I'll keep all of you posted :)  A girls night and baked goods are waiting for me this evening.  Looking forward for some QT time with friends without having a nursing textbook in front of us.

Yesterday, I spent a good amount of time finding some new tunes.  There's always a "feel good" about updating my music library . . .especially when it's long overdue.  Here's a list (click on title of song for Youtube link) of some tunes you might like ;).

*Gotye - Somebody that I Used to Know

*Selah Sue - Mommy

(I definitely think of my own mother when listening to this song.  I miss you ma.)

*Nneka - Heartbeat

*James Vincent McMorrow - Higher Love

*Ben Howard - Only Love
