Brachial Plexus, from fertilization to birth, study of all connective tissues

These are the things that have consumed my life, which lead to a lack of posting, i have no life, so a blog really isn't necessary, but here is what is in my mind right now..

Welcome to my life.. this is why i am indoors literally all but 1 hour a day.. oh what i sacrifice to obtain my dream..

We finished day 2 of orientation today, so i will post pictures and information soon, but just wanted to update to let people know this blog is still alive and will be changing focuses here soon!

Summer is drawing to a close.. Med School is approaching

I am so excited about Medical School, but so sad to see my possible last summer at camp drawing to a close. It is horrible to think that next session, that starts Sunday, may be my last ever here at Camp Ridgecrest for Boys. That makes me horribly sad. Moving into a new apartment, starting to complete my life's dream of becoming a Physician, makes me real excited and happy. That is my dilemma right now.... Life. I wonder a lot of times when will I finally get a chill out break, or when will I be able to slow down and stop for a while. Well not anytime soon in the next 8-10 years probably haha. 4 years of school, 3-6 years of residency.. wooo hooo.. don't get me wrong, I am excited but also scared and doubtful of this daunting task that is before me. Am I smart enough? Do I have the willpower or the know how? I hope so.. but one thing that I do know that I have is my Jesus. And that is all I need to get through this crazy time in life. I forget that from time to time, but something always brings me back to that fact. It is usually a slap in the face by Him. He loves me enough to snap me into submission from time to time.

Thanks Jesus for being there for me, continue to break me so that I may build back stronger and stronger for you

Life is crazy

just living the good life some more here in Ridgecrest loving every minute of serving my Lord by showing guys how to live the real life with Christ..

I have my apartment in hattiesburg and roommate, Twin Oaks apartments and Bryant Self, a good buddy from Ole Miss (yeah i know that is unlikely) but anyway he is cool and we are in the same Med class, so it is guaranteed to be a good time.. well study time

I miss MS a little, not too much though im sure it isnt as much as i will miss NC come october or november..

I have to go now, just wanted to leave a few thoughts, promise to post a meaty post here soon..

Big News

I am really busy here at camp, so sorry for no posts here lately. But this calls for one and I am glad that the previous one talked about my Medical School interview because after some long waiting and prayer...

I am going to be a Doctor!!

I got accepted to William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Yeah that isn't a long name..

So I am very excited/nervous/stressed/pumped about it sadly i now have to move to Hattiesburg, MS, though.. ha it'll be all good because I will be a Doctor!

Grace and Peace,

Seth

In over my head??

Wow, I leave camp for a few days of rest and relaxation in MS, and I get back and hitting the ground running doesn't begin to describe the way I feel.

MS Recap:
While home I got in some great family time, Interviewed for William Carey Medical School (fingers crossed), got to see some great MSU friends, and met up with Andrew to drive back. I am hoping to hear from William Carey this week, so prayers are appreciated.

Today:
I got back to camp, and realized that there was 2 weeks until our Tribal Leaders arrived, which means that the summer officially begins. I had to move all of my stuff from office down to my summer office.. WEIRD... and now I have tons and tons to do. The pre-camp guys are here and working hard already, Andrew is here now so Admin is complete, and we are already working on the summer stuff in great detail. I am completely overwhelmed, from dealing with possible medical school plans (without getting my hopes up), to dealing with what is right now, in the present. It is a lot to juggle. There are a ton of loose ends to be tied up before I begin to feel comfortable about starting TL week. On the other hand, I am SO ready to see all of the staff I have hired and how they work and interact with the camp and each other. I am ready to see friendly faces from years past, faces that symbolize amazing friendships. I am ready to see the staff learn a ridiculous amount about everything camp in Staff Week and helping them to understand. I am ready to see those kids on June 13 and plan the most amazing summer they have ever had... God willing.

Pray for me, if you are that type of person, to impact lives this summer. I have no doubt I am going to learn an unimaginable amount this summer, but I have been put in a position to touch others' lives. I do not take that lightly, I pray they respect me and my decisions, and allow me to be a leader, and by His grace that they may see Him in all I do. I want to lead by service and with humility. I want to exemplify my Savior as I lead. I am passionate about that task this summer. I ask for prayer that I stay diligent in spending time with Him so that I may overflow with His love.

That is all for now.

Grace and Peace,
Seth (but from now on this summer, Chief Genteel Pine, or for short, "Pine")
