Welcome back to the daily grind...

School started up again on Monday (hence my disappearance for a couple days). Though I wasn't quite ready for the semester to start, I've gotten stuff together (it seems) within the past few days and am now quite happily going along. My schedule this semester is only 4 classes - Physiology, Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogenesis, Christian Marriage and Family Life, and Spanish for Health Services II. Normally, I'd try to find another class, but seeing as this semester I'm working 3 jobs and volunteering at two hospitals in addition to taking classes, studying for MCATs, applying to med school, running two clubs, and having somewhat of a social life...i think my schedule's pretty full already. However, i've discovered that I only have 6 courses to take over all of senior year, so that'll be fun. :)

I found a song a while ago that Ingrid had posted on her twitter called "This is the New Year" by Ian Axel.  I watched the video and fell in love, and tried to find it to download, but couldn't. Then, I get on iTunes yesterday, and it's the single of the week!! SO EXCITING! Needless to say, I now have the song and have listened to it many many times, and am currently working on figuring out the guitar chords so I can play it and maybe record a little bit...we'll see.

Here are the lyrics:

Ian Axel – This is The New Year

Another year you made a promise
another chance to turn it all around
and do not save this for tomorow
embrace the past and you can live for now
and I will give the world to you

Speak louder than the words before you
and give them meaning no one else has found
The role we play is so important
we are the voices of the undergroud
and I would give the world to you

Say everything you’ve always wanted,
be not afraid of who you really are,
cause in the end we have each other,
and thats at least one thing worth living for,
and I would give the world to you

A million suns that shine upon me
A million eyes you are the brightest blue
Lets tear the walls down that divide us
and build a statue strong enough for two

I pass it back to you
and I will beat for you,
cause I would give the world
and I would give the world
and I would give the world to you

This is the new year
A new begining
You made a promise
You are the brightest
We are the voices
This is the new year
We are the voices
This is the new year

And here's the official music video - basically a dance party and lovefest all in one...aka my kind of life. :)

This Is the New Year - Ian Axel

Peace and love :)
