Seriously?

So my sister told me to go to the website (http://www.buttafly.com/starbucks/index.php) and find out what I order at Starbucks says about my personality.

I order a cafe misto. Coffee with hot skim milk.

Personality type: Lame

You're a simple person with modest tastes and a reasonable lifestyle. In other words, you're boring. Going to Starbucks makes you feel sophisticated; you'd like to be snooty and order an espresso but aren't sure if you're ready for that level of excitement. People laugh at you because you use fake curse words like "friggin'" and "oh, crumb!" Everyone who thinks America's Funniest Home Videos is a great show drinks grande cafe misto.

Also drinks: V8
Can also be found: On the couch at home

Seriously?

life is for the living, the forgiven, and for leaving town alive

Hey hey hey.

Life is progressing faster. I thought it was spring break last week. Now it's finals. 1 down, 3 to go.

Big news in the life. I am moving to Washington for about 8 weeks to work in a church out there. Now, you may be wondering, "how many jobs in a church is Sarah going to take?". I will answer - 3. As of now. There is always next summer too!

I can't seem to wrap my mind around the idea. Moving. To Washington. For 2 months.

Road tripping.

The plan as of now is:
*Leave town when I am 20+1 day.
*Drive to Montrose.
*Drive to Idaho.
*Drive to Portland.
*Hang out with Rachel Bain.
*Tri-Cities here I come.

I can't seem to write in anything but simple sentences; perhaps I am just so excited and am trying to express myself as purely as I can. I am tired and in a get to the point mood.

Point is:
I have no idea what God is doing in my life. But I have to believe He's doing something.

Now - here's what I need from you:
1) Book on tape ideas. I already bought Les Miserables since we all know I will NEVER make it through the book unless I listen to it whilst driving. Other ideas? I would say Through Painted Deserts but I already read it. Three Cups of Tea? What else?

2) The best traveling music you know of. I am compiling playlists as we speak. If you want to make me a CD of good songs or artists - I won't object. But your recommendations are gladly welcomed. Already on the list:
-Brett Dennen
-Mindy Smith
-Nickel Creek
-Caedmon's Call
-Patty Griffen
-Elizabethtown soundtrack
-Sarah Harmer

I feel like this is a lame post. Maybe I will delete it and start over.

Hope your Wednesday is fantastic.

echoes and silence, patience and grace

Hello blog world. I have returned.

I am listening to Foo Fighters for the first time ever. I like it. I really do. And by listening I mean I am listening to one song. On repeat. It fits the mood of the day.

Two weeks from yesterday I will be officially done with half of college. I don't really know what to do with that. I thought that summer seemed to fit, but perhaps the weather is throwing me off. Regardless, I can't seem to comprehend four month freedom starting in two weeks.

I wish I knew what I was doing with my summer. I will know if I get the job I applied for by Wednesday. I'm sure I will let you know.

I am 4/5 done with my time in this clinical rotation. In all honesty, I love geriatrics. I don't know if it's my calling in life, but these people are fantastic. I gave my first injection yesterday. Scariest ever but my patient was great about it. Just offered up her arm for sacrificial purposes.

My antsy tendencies are getting to me. I think the best remedy is a road trip. One is in the works. I cannot wait.

Really, it's not that exciting in my world. Apparently there was an earthquake here? Who knew?
