Diligence & Thanks

Dear God,

Please help me to be diligent in my studying for Step 1. Help me to get up to my alarm, walk into the office & actually sit down & start studying. Help me to retain what I go over & let the information I learn be useful. Help me make the most out of my 31 days.

-Larissa

P.S. Thank you for my friends - thank you for letting Rianne, Ada, Cory & Bode find a house; thanks for allowing Ellen & I to both be in church yesterday morning & ate lunch together ('cause she's gonna be gone for awhile, so it was good to be able to spend time with her). Thank you for Elizabeth & her husband Kyle who was able to help me out on the fly & watch Jez (even after I called & woke him up early Sunday morning.) Thank you for Ryan & Mark voluntering to come over & patch my fence yesterday afternoon (the fence was broken courtsey of Jezabell, who most likely planned it because she's got a crush on Ryan!) Thank you for Chris Anna, who has ruined my sad little story about "all my best friends are moving away in a month" rant - I'm so happy you'll be in town & thanks for the awesome "study break" last night.

Thank you for all my other friends too - I would list them out, but I'm afraid I'll miss someone - so I'll just list the ones who may read my blog: Rachel, Kaci, Debbie, Stephanie, Lina, Kelly, Kirtana, Charles (yes, I know you read this! you're in my prayers!); If I missed your name, its just because I don't think you read this - please post a comment & then I'll add you - and I'll also add you to my list of "people I can't make fun of on my blog 'cause they'll read about it & know." (just kidding!)
