Feeling special. :)

 

Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

How powerful is that? It's impossible to even fathom what the LORD does even when we're asleep. Being sick this finals week, this passage has been especially meaningful. Youths will grow tired and weary, young men stumble and fall. But those who HOPE in the Lord will renew their strength. This strength doesn't come from me, but it's from the Lord. All I want to do now is finish well. This quarter's been hard, but I'm praying that I'll do this for Him. That I'll finish well.

Burnout

I feel like I've been constantly studying for the past 2.5 months. This quarter thus far has been the academically hardest, most work intensive quarter in pharmacy school thus far simply from the sheer volume of information thrown at us since September 13.


But considering how things have been going compared to previous quarters, things have been pretty darn good. I need to force myself to see the silver lining even when I can't seem to think about anything but the test tomorrow.

Something that was so encouraging this morning was this: as I was waking up, I thought, I just need to trust God. I, Roz can fall apart at any moment and believe me it's happened. But I can't possibly hold myself together. It's God that lets me fly on wings like eagles. It says in Isaiah, that youths grow tired and weary, young men stumble and fall. But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

That thought made the day so much better and it's my hope and prayer that it carries through the next few weeks.

On another note: Major congratulations to KEVIN and CONNIE who got married this past weekend. :)

Posting in Class

I'm posting because I can and I want to.

So, new Zagat restaurants: Rotee and Conservatory at the Ritz, Half Moon Bay.

Rotee

We kind of serendipitously fell upon the restaurant whilst rushing to Berkeley to go sailing. (More on that later). It's on the corner of Haight and something in the Lower haight. The naan is really good (I like bland foods, so that is to be expected). One thing that I didn't really like was the service. EXTREMELY slow. We tried the Curry Grant. It's a little watery for my taste, but I saw the Tikka Masala which looked sooooooo creamy good that I wanted to order it in addition to our meal. At any rate, I would want to go again, just to try out the other stuff.


Conservatory Lounge at the Ritz

This actually is NOT listed in the Zagat Guide and there's a reason. For the price, the food is only ok. But of course, we didn't go for bruch (which I hear is quite good). But basically what you're paying for is the environment/ambiance. The Ritz is BEAUTIFUL. Like seirously beautiful. I enjoyed our walk around the hotel grounds better than the food. (that says something about the food).

Along the same weekend, we went sailing with the Cal Sailing Club (FOR FREE!!!). I want to learn how to sail now, but going out there even though I got a little dizzy from the boat was extremely beautiful and very restful. I'm a swimmer, so there's something about water that's very soothing.
