the ghost of christmas past and present

i just want to type something. reagans sleeping, im done studying chemistry.... so yea. as it turns out i really like school. i actually enjoy it. i enjoy it a lot. i guess thats good for anyone who wants to continue education for anything past the standard bachelor degree. i always wanted to be a doctor of some sort. i never knew what tho. i thought about dentistry...didnt have the grades. i looked into anesthesiology...too much school. i even thought about being a maxilofacial surgeon just after having a fist be slammed through my face, shattering my orbital socket...those innocent little bones. by the time the second surgery was done, that desire faded away. i do believe that surgeons are incredibly talented however. on to business management at byu. haha. yea. right. ive got passion and am competitive, but wow, apparently not enough. this was a blessing. i got focused toward something i was good at. construction management! i got into that program and wasnt excited. i think my reaction was something like, "reagan! i got my letter to see if im accepted or not!" she said "open it!" so i did. the next words that came out of my mouth were "oh crap...(sigh)." reagan looked at me and said "crap?! no matt thats great!" weellll i didnt want to do that anymore. i think that subconsciously i was hoping for a denial from the school so that my hesitancy to continue with constrution would be assisted and i could be more content with just pushin it all under the rug. i kept quiet for a day then told reagan i wanted to be a chiropractor. i had applied, or started to apply over a year before then but just put it on the back burner. so here we are now, and i am loving it so much. i realize this is where i want to be. the human body is amazing. it has always interested me. simple things about the body blow my mind. i dont know everything but i do know that we are all pretty freakin cool, even when we aren't trying.

on another note...i wonder how long the first body took to create. were there prototypes? because God is perfect in all he does, probably not...and we could get a lot deeper into the doctrine of The God who created us...but not now.
