Year One Quotes

To wrap up my first year of DPT school, I am going to give you some quotes that have happened in the last couple weeks.

Krista looking through her calendar intently before class:
Me: "What are you doing?"
Krista: "I'm just trying to orient myself to the day and month, to be honest."

Learning about the unit Dalton in reference to the phoresable definition, Krista leans over to me and whispers: "I dated a guy named Dalton.  His mom was a biologist. *Dramatic pause*  She did that on purpose."

During the 7k race talking about pheromones and discussing how attraction can be based on these scents, we get on the topic of a certain person and Brianna says: "Ugh, he probably smells like freakin roses."

Talking about what attracts us (post 7k race) while drinking a free beer we were given, naturally I say something related to the current situation:
Me: "I like to smell people when they drink."
Brianna: "What?!"
Me: "That didn't come out right.  I just mean I like the smell on their breath."
Krista: "Wait, what?!"
Me: "No, no that didn't sound right either, it's just one of my favorite scents...but I also like the smell of chlorine and eraser shavings, so there's that..."

Krista in reference to the new water fountain right outside our classroom: "I was so excited that they put a water fountain on our floor that I filled up my water bottle, and as I was waiting to use the bathroom, I drank half of it and had to go back and fill it up again."

Brianna: "I'm excited for tomorrow...I might even dress up!  And by that, I mean wear JEEEAANNNS!!!!"

Brianna: "Nick's a great cook, but he likes the full fat, sticks of butter version because he says it's all about the flavor.  So, sometimes I cook to give our arteries a rest."

Trying to convince Krista to make a list of all her fun quirks, she asks me to help her think of some.  I start listing what I can think of, and she responds: "God, I'm such a freak!"

Seeing a stack of free books, Krista says I should take one because it looks cool.  I laugh and grab it, and she continues: "That's why I have books, they look cool.  Actually, I really don't have books because I don't like to read.  The only book I own is 50 Shades of Gray and I haven't read it!"

Me talking to Nick and Rob: "Do either of you drink?  I've never thought to ask."
Rob: "I've been known to consume the Devil's water."

Rob right before the neuro exam, he abruptly gets up from our study group.  We ask if he's okay.  He gives a dramatic pause, then says, "I've got the nervous poops."

Conversations from a graveyard

Image
There's so much I have to say.  So, here goes everything. I stopped at the graveyard today.  Impulsively.  I was driving home from the store when a song came on from Tenth Avenue North, and I totally lost it.  I haven't cried in a long time.  It's really weird, I used to cry almost every night, but since last year, I just don't cry much.  Today though, today it all broke free. It wasn't one thing that hit me, but a thousand things.  I've been resisting the want to call certain people because I know I need to let go.  The strength of that is draining.  I've been studying and worrying about classes and life after school.  The stress of that is draining.  I'm sure you all have your own stresses and strength drainers in life; today was a mix of everything. I pulled into the graveyard and just cried.  I cried for all the people who were buried here, their earthly life over.  I cried for those who may not have kn...

A Passion Like Paul

I want to have a passion like Paul.  I want to have that desire, that fire, that intensity. I want that love. I've finished reading Acts and am into Romans, which is probably why I've suddenly rediscovered the amazing fire Paul has about the Lord.  This man, Paul, has undergone capture, imprisonment, torture, rejection, and yet he STILL is on fire for Christ.  He continues his mission, as eager and passionate as ever, filled with love, humility, and forgiveness.  Here is a man who went from persecuting to persecutee. Here is a man who revolutionized is way of thinking, believing, living. Here is a man who has changed . I love that Paul is able to relate to is audience so phenomenally.  He knew what it was like to hate Christians, to kill them, to find them evil, because he used to believe that.  But then his life was changed forever.  He did a 180 degree turn and became a missionary who knew the importance and had the unending love to sh...

Deprecation

Why have I been a Christian for 25 years and still not know what that means? Why does everyone seem so solid in their understanding and I'm floating around like, "Yeah, your version makes sense too..." Why does everyone tell me the answer comes when you seek it, but I'm not good at hide-and-seek? Why do I have so many questions? If you've ever had one of those this-is-too-much-to-handle moments, you might understand that there are times when you're on your knees exhausted, angry, and surrendered, wondering if this is rock bottom.  I've only had two of those moments in my life, one when I was younger, and one in the shower covered with leftover glitter but feeling anything but sparkle. I rarely talk aloud when I pray, but today was different.  I was verbally, brutally honest with God, something that a normal person might think to be strange but the anger came surprisingly easy and burned like a pile of wood soaked in gasoline.  It only took one li...
