artofprocrastination.

So I'm sitting in the library doing nothing. I'm supposed to be studying for my chemistry exam tomorrow. haha. No progress. GO LEAH! But yeah, I figured that I might as well write a blog. So here it goes:

I find myself spending numerous hours doing useless stuff (i.e. Facebook, Myspace). Lmao. I spend my time on those sites just looking at people. Then I wonder to myself why I spend so much time looking at people who I barely even know. Why am I so intrigued by those people whom I barely know or have never met? It's this thing called being human. It's also jealousy or just pure curiosity. Jealous in the sense that they are prettier, or have better clothes. Curiosity in the sense that they're just plain interesting or entertaining to "observe." haha. Dude, that's stalkerish status. But anyways...it's bad because I do useless things on the computer when I could be spending my time studying or ministering. Well, I'll work on that.

Hm...I feel like I'm in two worlds: one at home, one at Biola.

  • Life at Home: I feel like I am more in charge of myself there. I feel more independent. I feel like I'm more depended on. I also feel like I have to be the grown up and more mature there.
  • Life at Biola: I feel like my life is more of a mess here. I feel independent, but not wanting to be. I feel like I'm super depending on others all the time. I feel like the little kid who everyone wants to pick up.
Now, neither of these are a bad thing; I was just stating the differences that I feel.

Hm...so I feel like blabbering about 10 facts:
  1. I am Hmong. The Hmong people are a minority tribal group that originated from Southern China. There are many Hmong still in Southern China; however, all the Hmong that I know are from Thailand and Laos.
  2. I had my appendix taken out when I was in 2nd grade. It was one of the best experiences of my life. My stomach hurt and they did not know what was wrong with me, so they transferred me to Stanford's Children Medical Hospital. AMAZING!
  3. I love babies and kids. I would have a million if I could. I take random pictures of babies and kids too. [no, i'm not a stalker]
  4. I'm one of those girls who dream about her wedding everyday.
  5. I dislike it when people think Hmong people are from Mongolia. [People from Mongolia are called MONGOLIAN]
  6. I'm a leftie, but I do everything else with my right.
  7. I'm obsessed with piggies. [you should see my room]
  8. My mom just had a baby 4 months ago.
  9. For some reason, I don't do well with the waitresses at Pho 21.
  10. My middle name, Nkaujnag, means beautiful rain.
So that's it for now. I need to study now. Let's see how far I get before I start on faceook again :/

babypowder.


Over these past weeks, I've been letting go. I've been letting go of my shallow ideas, my own expectations, and my heart. I've given my heart away to a man. I know it's going to be hard, but I know it's going to be even more fun :] Like a paper airplane, no matter where we're thrown, God will definitely fold us back together and keep throwing us until we fly smoothly.

adventures here we come.
