Hey Hey Hey

So I finally forced myself to start blogging today :)
I'm excited to excited to see where I take this...

The last year of my life has been the biggest roller coaster ever. I've been on so many emotional highs and lows, but I feel like Ive been able to deal with everything realitivly well. The growth I've been able to experience has been such a blessing from God... and I really can't wait to see what he has in line for me next. Hopefully blogging can help me look back at some of the major events I went through in the future...

Friday I went all the way to Shamsheri with my family bc my sister and bro-in-law were visiting from PA. It was great seeing them but I feel like im out of touch.. especially with my sister. We only just started becoming close right before she began medical school.. but at that point i felt like it was almost too late. I barely ever see her or talk to her because shes either on call at random hours of the day or shes moving from state to state for her rotations. I really hope once she settles down that we can reconnect and start building our relationship again. 
Ever since she moved out 4 years ago, I feel like I am an only child at home. Its definitely a weird feeling...

I know its going to be very difficult to finish off this semester. My classes keep getting more and more intense.... The work load worries me but I know its a great opportunity to keep myself in-check and practice discipline. 
Discipline is something I've been focusing on a lot since Ramadan has ended. I never realized how much discipline in one aspect of your life, carries over to over things. My mom read me a great quote a few weeks ago: 

"Discipline is the surest means to greater freedom and independence."
