A packet of information was delivered about a week and a half ago. Brett and I were on our way to church as I was looking through the information. I got a huge surprise on the second page. This letter stated that I was being given a scholarship because of my grades thus far! I am ecstatic! Every little bit helps big time because I am not going to work while I am in school. I was so thrilled that God blessed me with this reward for my hard work. Along with that scholarship was a long list of things I need to get done. So far I have gotten a drug test, had a physical, filled out a residency questionnaire, filled out more scholarship information, and bought a lot of my supplies. The supplies have thus far been my favorite part. I finally get to wear a lab coat! It is so cute on me, at least Brett thinks so. I also got these really nice navy blue scrubs and new white Sanitas. Oh and Brett bought me an orange stethoscope! I absolutely LOVE it! Orange is by far my favorite color! But the books...Oh the books. I went to the school bookstore and suddenly became overwhelmed. I was required to buy 18 books for the Summer semester. Yes, I said EIGHTEEN! I mean, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I just kept thinking about how I was going to get all of them to my car parked a block away in a parking garage. Wow! 18 books. I have never had to have that many books. Just think of the cost. I am going to pay a total of $1100 for my first semester of books. R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S! But honestly, some of the books really scare me. I am so nervous about my new classes.
These are the books that scare me the most...
Proverbs 2:6 - For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
2 Corinthians 12:9 - But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
Zephaniah 3:17 - The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.
