sick
I feel drained. So many of my muscles ache- it takes ages to do anything. My nose is a tap. I've enough cold medication in me that you could distill me down and make P. Ok, well not quite as bad as the last one, but I'm not a happy chappy. So here I am in bed. Missing class presentations on projects that we've been working on for the past 3 months. That wouldn't be such a good thing except I can't do anything else except lie in bed. And try keep my eyes open to blog.
So I guess this is as good a time as any to catch up on the goings on in my life. Last week was hectic. I had my Gut test (after a night on call- which probably wasn’t too smart), which was very hard out in comparison to all my other runs. Actually makes me wonder what’s better because I got heaps out of it. Afterwards I was really shattered, and began to think how boring my life was. Until I remembered…
Last Sunday I was at Nathan’s place in Lyall bay and someone got into my car and nicked my CD player (that Thida gave me :’( ) and some CDs I’d left in my glove box from Saturday. This annoyed me immensely and it is a pain to have to go to the Cop shop and call insurance to sort it out. Still, God has his plans for them.
On the following Wednesday, I was walking down Riddiford St outside the hospital, and a station wagon crashes into a parked van right in front of me. I helped the woman make the scene safe and kept her kids happy while she called the AA. Because she had wrecked her steering rack and passengers side axle, we couldn’t move the car off the yellow lines and no one driving could see what was wrong with the car. So we just stood there with this seeming normal car blocking one lane whilst people (including bus drivers) hurled abuse at us. Thankfully a cop in a plain clothes car came along after half an hour and sorted out the AA. Funnily enough once the cop was there, the abuse stopped too. Well, except for one guy who didn’t realize there was a cop there. That was quite funny.
On Thursday (after my test), I was debating whether to go for a run or get some chips. But as I drove up our street, there were two cops standing around like they were waiting for someone. I parked my car on the street, then this cop car pulled up. Nervously I asked him what was going on. Apparently there had been a break in up the road and they had the tracker dogs out cause the suspect was still thought to be round. So with my hand forced, I went and got some chips. I also met some of the neighbours who were standing talking on the street talking.
…given that I had had 3 interactions with the cops in the past week (and as someone pointed out, not been arrested in any of them), how could my life be boring?
I always enjoy post-run weekends. It’s always nice to know that you’re free for a weekend. This weekend was no exception. My mate Dutton was having his birthday up at Castlepoint beach, so Matt, Owen and I drove up with Kerryn, Mark, Ange, and Ange’s friend Anna. No I’ve known this particular group of friends for the better part of 10 years now. Although the guys got heinously drunk (about 40-50 stubbies plus other alcoholic beverages that I couldn’t even count!) it was still a good time, with random missions, shocking experiences with electric fences and popstar all thrown into the mix. On the way back, I caught up with Brent in Masterton, who laughed at my fence experience, as he’s done it several times himself through work.
So that’s pretty much me. I’m now on my GP run, but sniffling and feeling sore isn’t the best encourager for patients. Here’s hoping I’ll feel better tomorrow.

Rebellion
Someone once told me there was a rebelliousness spirit inside me. Seeing that everyone (well, OK, not everyone, but a lot of people) have been writing about how sad it is that Sam is leaving Dunedin- I feel a certain rising in this rebellious streak of mine. Not to rub it in anyone's face, but more to bring balance the situation.
Welcome (back) to Wellington Sam! Its good to be in the same city again.

Words (cause words are all I have...)
We were doing our group assignment last Wednesday. I was doing something on Microsoft access (first mistake) and it wasn't quite working out. So I called the computer a "stupid bloody piece of crap!" (second mistake). One of the girls in my group was shocked. She said that they were words that she never expected to come out of my mouth. Opps. Perhaps I have a reputation that's better than the real me? It was such a kick up the backside that I'm an ambassador for Christ, and that I shouldn't really be saying stuff like that even if I'm really frustrated cause it reflects badly on Him. It says in Psalms "In your anger do not sin" (Nuts!). On the “plus” side, I can now "speak" SQL for access queries.
On a much better spiritual note, Promisekeepers was awesome. I went in feeling very "un-God desiring" and at first the speakers just annoyed me because they were well- energised and right. But its funny how after going up for quite a few altar calls and starting to get my heart in the right place things started to happen.
One of the biggest criticisms you could say about an event like this is that there are just too many people, and that you can't have any personal interaction. But I think a certain personal interaction was a highlight for me. The three guys from my church- Mark, Bonar and I were praying for our pastor, when this guy sitting next to us by himself asked if we would join him in praying for his too. We agreed, and God gave me this hard out specific word for him. It was so amazing he broke down into tears of joy.
I know this sounds selfish, but I’m not going to comment on what that word did for him but for me. Partly to respect the word that God had for him, and partly cause the subject of this blog is me, right? God hasn’t given me a word for someone for a long time. After national meeting we had the privilege of hearing Ps Nick Klinkenberg from Hamilton Eastside Apostolic preach a message on words (like the title of this blog). Unfortunately, it wasn’t his message that really impacted me. You know how speakers-often visiting ones, bring prophecies of miracles, signs and wonders. Ever wondered what they looked like? Ever wondered how or will that bring people closer to God? I have a friend who’s quite a cynic on God in general, and I wondered what would make him go “Wow, God is real!” So I spent ages reading about Jesus’ miracles. And while I continue to seek a fuller answer, I guess I can say from the past couple of weeks that miracles happen to individuals not to masses. That God really is willing to turn the world around to save the lost and draw all people closer to Himself. Including me.

Time killer and blood confusions
I have some time to kill in between finishing school and going to see Greg’s hockey game. It’s the Prem 4 final tonight, and Heretaunga College is playing Scots It’s at the hockey turf just up the road from the hospital. Well, OK, it’s a long road, but a road none the least. I have a case study due on Friday and a group assignment due on Monday. Yay. And I’m going to promisekeepers on Friday night and Saturday. The next few days will be um, busy.
I was going to go to the Pathology dept and look at histology slides from my lab visit yesterday, but it was announced today that our group assignment was due Monday morning 9am. How annoying is that? I’m not normally a fan of microscope work, but I do like seeing things that no one else has seen before and having one on one time with a registrar is pretty cool. I think the time doing my thesis also helped me learn to enjoy microscopy a bit more.
<--step out and take a break for about 5 hours-->
Well Heretaunga won a nail-biter, 4-3 after leading 4-0 at half time. Talk about Scots turning it on in the second half. It took a lot of skill and guts (especially one guy who copped a hockey ball in the ribs), not to mention a bit of luck for Heretaunga to pull through, but they did. The supporters on the sideline were so nervous. And it was such a great feeling when they won. It was amazing to think that they had only 8 players at the start of this year, and Greg was thinking of giving it all up. But thanks to the help of some very special adults and some self-belief, this is definitely a team who came together when it mattered most.
Why do I care to write about this so much? Partly because Greg is captain- and he couldn’t get the smile off his face. And most of you probably know that I played hockey for 5 years at school, so this is technically still “my team”. Both Andrew and Greg have played right through school too. So there’s a bit of family history involved in the team. That, and a lot of late nights driving home from Wellington and Lower Hutt, after spending countless hours standing or playing in the cold and wet. Love it.
Oh yeah,I should probably explain the "blood confusions" bit. We were learning about transfusions today, but my brain got slightly lost. A freudian slip- probably!

Gosh, Abbey's lead me astray again ; )
From Timbuktu to Tijuana, you know all about world
culture and politics. You've seen it all, and
what you haven't seen, you watched on one of
the "smart people channels." Your
friends tell you that you should run for
governor.
What people love: You've always got a great story
to tell.
What people hate: You make them feel like ignorant
plebians. Sometimes you slip and CALL them
plebians.
What Kind of Elitist Are You?

Short one- like a dwarf
Hmm, just because I have my computer back doesn’t seem to mean that I get to spend any time on it. In fact its kinda nice not to. Although it does seem a bit of a waste to have such a nice machine being a glorified jukebox. I’m on a heinously busy gut run at the moment. Not because of teaching time, but because there’s heaps to learn about the gastrointestinal system. I think also because I’m near the end of 4th year I’m not trying to deny the fact that there’s a heap to learn. No, actually I think its just because its hard out. Well that and the fact that I learnt the background information in 2002! So revision is definitely taking up a bit of time.
I’ve also started exercising. The army came round the other day to med school. They’re offering a bonded training scheme that I’m considering to become a doctor in the army once I’m registered. It’s an option that I’m giving a bit of prayer to at the moment. As Michael says, it has to be a God idea, not just a good one. It’s an incentive to get fit though. So currently I’m doing some running and other exercises, plus trying to eat healthily. Funnily enough I’m actually enjoying it. Hmm, flipping masochist if you ask me.
I’m also thinking of voting ACT (hard right wing party) in the election. Not because I want to see them in power, but because I think that they have some of the better MP’s in parliament and it would be a shame to lose them as ACT is doing appallingly in the polls. In saying that, United Future being touted as the preferred coalition partner to National might be OK too. Still- having Don Brash in power sends a shiver down my spine.
Hmm, just because I have my computer back doesn’t seem to mean that I get to spend any time on it. In fact its kinda nice not to. Although it does seem a bit of a waste to have such a nice machine being a glorified jukebox. I’m on a heinously busy gut run at the moment. Not because of teaching time, but because there’s heaps to learn about the gastrointestinal system. I think also because I’m near the end of 4th year I’m not trying to deny the fact that there’s a heap to learn. No, actually I think its just because its hard out. Well that and the fact that I learnt the background information in 2002! So revision is definitely taking up a bit of time.
I’ve also started exercising. The army came round the other day to med school. They’re offering a bonded training scheme that I’m considering to become a doctor in the army once I’m registered. It’s an option that I’m giving a bit of prayer to at the moment. As Michael says, it has to be a God idea, not just a good one. It’s an incentive to get fit though. So currently I’m doing some running and other exercises, plus trying to eat healthily. Funnily enough I’m actually enjoying it. Hmm, flipping masochist if you ask me.
I’m also thinking of voting ACT (hard right wing party) in the election. Not because I want to see them in power, but because I think that they have some of the better MP’s in parliament and it would be a shame to lose them as ACT is doing appallingly in the polls. In saying that, United Future being touted as the preferred coalition partner to National might be OK too. Still- having Don Brash in power sends a shiver down my spine.
