Love is in the little moments...

I was conversing with a friend online today and she told me about this guy she met. He's really nice and makes her laugh a lot and he really seems to like her. She really likes him too, but it just doesn't seem right to her to date him. And she's wondering why and whether she, like Anne Shirley in Anne of the Island (that's part of the Anne of Green Gables series, for all my male friends out there), has "tricked out something out of that imagination of [hers] that [she] thinks is love and then [she] is disappointed when the real thing is nothing like [she] thought." Not that she thinks she might love the guy, just that she thinks she might have unrealistic expectations about what love is. So I told her:

Don't settle. Love IS more than just a guy who's nice and can make you laugh. Of course, you shouldn't have the idea that love is some fairy tale fantasy or, to quote Guys and Dolls, "some fly-by-night broadway romance." But love is something more. I don't know what it is, exactly, because I have yet to experience it, but I know that it's an action, not a feeling. And I know that it is real, lasting and happens in the wee small moments of every day life, where most people don't seem to think to look for it.

Look at me. I'm starting to wax poetic. :) heheheh.

Anyway, not that I'm suggesting you shouldn't date a guy until you love him, but she sounded like she was. . . I guess, disappointed somehow, to borrow the word she borrowed from L.M. Montgomery. But, if I know anything about it at all, I know this: love is never disappointing.

Ah, the joys of the medical college admissions test!

So tonight I'm taking a break and going to see Music and Lyrics with friends. I've heard good things about it, so I'm jazzed.

It's rather strange writing for this blog since none of my friends know about it yet, I think. Unless the fact that I changed my website showed up on someone's facebook newsfeed.

But the rest of the weekend will be once more dedicated to studying physics and MCAT review work. That's something that's really frustrating right now: the MCAT. It's nothing but work. But I need to take it in order to go to medical school, so it's got to get done. If I study hard enough, hopefully I'll do well.

MCAT countdown: 6 weeks tomorrow.

Another one to the dark side...

Hmmm... well, it would seem I've finally gotten myself a blog. We'll see how this turns out.
