Twin Studies and Breaking Points

So, today I had a minor break down over my visa. It's amazing what a few tears can do though. It felt great to finally get all my worries off my chest, and who better to tell than my mom. She sat with me and reassured me with talks of check lists and packing.  I am still stressed about getting everything together, but am feeling slightly more optimistic. The British have really tightened their visa requirements this year, adding stress and worry to my plate. To make it worse, I have to wait until I am in the airport in London to get my visa. With only a week before I leave, I am having to constantly remind myself that God is still here and has me in the palm of his hand. Which is an overused image, but overused for a reason. It's such a comforting picture. Wherever I am, God is there as well, and has a perfect plan for me. 

On to a lighter subject, Bailey and I had our twin study this weekend. I am thinking of making this my full time profession. The actual study itself was a little long (5 hours) and a slightly boring. Everyone was so nice though, and the drug that they gave me (yes, it was approved) was WONDERFUL. Sooo relaxing. This wasn't the most welcomed piece of information for my mom, who I'm pretty sure is afraid I will become addicted to it. The second day was Bailey's turn for the study, so I had the day to wander around downtown Palo Alto. The highlight had to be spending an hour on Stanford's front lawn as I did a quiet time with God. That and all the cute guys in scrubs ;)
