While You Were Sleeping

So...many, many things have happened since I last wrote, and I'm afraid I would burn myself out if I wrote about all of them, but a brief overview is needed before I write another post entirely.  After all, I know this has been all of you during my hiatus:

Why isn't he writing anything?!?

 I have been plenty busy.  I managed to graduate.  Yay!  I am officially a Chemistry B.A.  Hehehe.  I can now, with the authority of a degree, do science stuffs!

Me at work.

I also moved to a whole new, super-secret lair.  I am, in fact writing this post from that very lair.  Nobody will ever know where it is...unless...is that a sign outside?!?

Okay, this isn't actually outside where I live, but wouldn't it be cool if it was? :)

My life largely consists of going to work, running, and reading.  I am going to start book 11 of 13 of A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.  I never read them when I was a child, and am excited to read them now that I have more time!  The first book is called The Bad Beginning and the books get progressively more unfortunate.  I love them.  It's hard to describe them...just read them.  Really, they are quite good.

Doesn't this just look like a great book? :)

I have not, as of yet, been accepted into any medical schools for this upcoming fall, so I am choosing to live my life as if I were not going for another year.  In keeping with that spirit, I have made a somewhat rash decision:  I am going to run an obstacle course.  It's considered a rather difficult one.  It's called the Tough Mudder.  It's not until September, but I've started training for it to be ready...this one will push me a lot.  Obstacles include electric wires, dark tunnels, and walls of flame.  It should be a good time :).

See?  Doesn't that just look like fun?  The guy on the right looks like he's smiling!  Kinda...

I am not where I thought I would be at this point in my life.  I expected to be married, maybe even have a kid on the way, be moving to somewhere for medical school, and doing a lot less running.  I believe there is a reason why things happen that will work for your good if you trust in a loving God.  I still trust that things will work out for the best, even if I can't understand it right now.  I have had some of the most amazing experiences I could ever hope to have as a result of the path I've walked.  I don't know where I'll end up or when, but it will be worth it.

I'll write more later! :)
