Your love on the cross,
The price that it cost,
What else could I do,
But to bow to you?

In awe of Your grace,
In awe of Your love,
I will seek for Your face
and give You all my Praise.

For I have been found in Your embrace,
Your love so amazing, no words could explain.
My prayer, and my cry is to love You more.
My Lord, here is my all.

The light to my path,
Who carries me through.
Who stands by my side,
And says, "I love you"

Your nail pierced hands,
Your nail pierced feet,
Speaks of Your love,
For all etenity.

- Ames

A Flame Being Fizzled
So, I was thinking yesturday what has happened during this term? It seems that stress and tiredness has plagued this term... remembering back to the beginning of the term, I told myself: I will not let calculus ruin my term. Yet, that was exactly what that course had been doing... haha, or maybe I just blame everything bad on it :P. Thinking about it, i realized i had fallen into the trap... the trap of being too busy to spend time with God. The trap of discouragments so you ask for less, instead of more. Like water sprinkling over a flame... fizzling it.

Duck Tales
On the way to class everyday I pass by this little creek by some townhouses. I've just come to really enjoy passing that area because of how scenic it is. Well, some days after it rains the water in the creek doesn't look that pleasant, but on other days it's so beautiful that I just stop and watch. The most entertaining part is the ducks... which are there even now, though not regualarly. The other day I saw a duck sitting on the half frozen ice sleeping... When it was warmer sometimes there will be duck couples floating along. And one time, there was a duck fight which was pretty funny. Sometimes when I come home from night labs I'll hear the evil duck cackle. The most beautiful scene is after snow falls, how the snow sits on top of the branches... the ice formed on top of the water, and seeing water flow in areas that hadn't frozen yet. Oh, just how beautiful and perfect God made everything!

Experimental Errors
haha... so to add onto the randomness of this blog...
I don't know why, but it seems that none of the labs this term has been going quite right!
For example:
- the set up of equipment in our biochem lab is always really weird. For some reason we're always straining to read numbers on pH meters, or struggling to pour substances into beakers. And I look around and everyone else's equipment setup is perfectly fine... lol
- we have a squirt bottle that doesn't squirt just from the mouth but also from the holes on the sides! Great, we can wash our lab coats.
- according to the stethoscope (what doctors use to hear the heartbeat), we're all dead because none of use have a heart beat. ugh, cheap equipment.
- lack of agreement between the TAs and the lab coordinator = chaos. Coordinator tells us we're behind, you need to put your test tubes into the water bath now. TAs come along and ask why you have only some in the water bath and some not - you should put them all in at the same time. Either way--> loss of subjective marks... Why can't they discuss things and agree?!

There's definetly more than that... just can't think of anymore right now, lol.
