Sir Francis Drake Prayer
Disturb us, Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves,
When our dreams have come true Because we dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely Because we sailed too close to shore.
Disturb us, Lord, when with the abundance of things we possess
We've lost our thirst for the waters of life;
Having fallen in love with life, we've ceased to dream of eternity,
And in our efforts to build a new earth,
We've allowed our vision of the new Heaven to dim.
Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wilder seas, Where storms will show your mastery;
Where losing sight of land, We shall find the stars.
We ask you to push back the horizons of our hopes;
And push back the future in strength, courage, hope, and love.
This we ask in the name of our Captain, Who is Jesus Christ.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
FELIZ NAVIDAD A TODOS!

Yo estoy bien feliz!
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams...
Whirlwind summary coming right up! Hold on to your seats!
Third semester ended Friday with my last Pathology exam. I have never been so excited to take an exam in my life. To 'celebrate', after the exam Vero and I went straight downtown to the PMC office and signed up for our 4th semester clinical. We were lucky and got a few of the last spots available in Chapala. Chapala is a town on Lake Chapala about 45 minutes outside of GDL. We started early Saturday morning at the municipal clinic. Sunday Carrie and Troy were announced....oh wait wrong train of thought...I mean, Sunday we were at the Red Cross there. Monday we were a bit at the Red Cross and then we spent some time at the nursing home there.
Vero and I at Lake Chapala
Maria (the third 4th semester who did her clinical with Vero and I)and I at Lake Chapala
I praise Jesus that the doctor who oversees student doctors in Chapala was willing to work with me. Since we started on Saturday 5 days of clinic would mean our last day would be Wednesday. Long story short, I worked like the dickens and got all of my work done for the clinic by Monday, and he gave me permission to actually use my ticket on Wednesday!!! To top it off, he completely surprised me in that since I was done with everything he gave me permission to not go to Chapala today meaning I get to clean and pack today!!
It was all up in the air how this clinic was going to play out, and through the grace of God it played out better than I had hoped.
...I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
Hasta!

Yo estoy mirando Chokis! Pronto los comere!
FELIZ DICIEMBRE A TODOS! (HAPPY DECEMBER EVERYONE!)
Last night two of my friends and classmates hosted a "Holly Jolly Christmas Party." I was going to take pictures but then decided a video would be quicker more complete and attract less attention in general. I only stayed a short while. Said hi, drank some wassail, ate some guacamole, took the video, and made my exit.

Class has been cancelled for the rest of the week. Monday was our last class of the semester. Now I've got to make sure I stay focused so that I don't get caught still unprepared for my test on Friday. Well....that's a given, but I can at least try to be as prepared as possible.
ok, must go make use of study time!!
