So Monica and I went to Singspo tonight. The band leading worship was okay. I kind of wish there was a female singer though. It was an interesting experience for me because even though I didn't really sing I thought a lot. So here are some of the many many things I pondered during worship:

1. Im getting rid of facebook, and soon enough even my blog because it makes me more selfish and self centered than I naturally am. I sometimes find myself trying to sound intelligent and "cool" to impress others online. So yeah. Plus, Facebook is the devil. You can seriously stalk people on there. And it stirs controversy and gossip. I'll leave myspace though, because it's basically my only connection to people at home - besides my family.
2. I miss Paul Chang.
3. I don't like worship music with only guy vocals or only girl vocals. I like them mixed and matched.
4. Do not ever judge others before yourself. No matter how much more stupid the person next to you seems.
   
5. I wish people were more motivated to read the bible and pray together than just singing songs and praising that way. I feel like we often go to church or singspo or chapel expecting something from the Lord. Instead we should come ready to give to Him. It's not often that I over hear people saying that it was sooooo much fun reading the Bible last night!
   
6. I think it's funny how young believers (as in young in faith) sometimes think they have to do what everyone else is doing to be considered "holy".
7. I've always wanted to play the violin.
8. I wish our youth group asked hard questions and weren't so activity based. I wish they would think deeper and help each other in doing that.
9. I reallllly liked that guys voice at After Dark the other night. I think he was Korean. It was raspy. (is that how you spell it?!)
   
10. I MISS JEREMIAH!
11. I think I'm gonna name my son Emmanuel [God with us].
    

oldness

Omg. School starts tomorrow!

So I only have one class tomorrow.

But I leave the house at 8:00am and return at 5:30pm.

WORK!!!!

Well the class that I do have tomorrow is Cell & Molecular Biology. Exciting. I'm also taking Organic Chemistry this year. It's supposed to be the devil of all general biology/biochem classes. We will see how my semester goes...

I think I'm getting older/more mature. Yay. Monica and I walked around campus earlier tonight. It was a lot of fun. walking through Horton and around the field and by the Sub was a lot of fun. I didn't think I would miss being on campus so much! But there are definitely pluses to being off campus :) I'm glad that I get to cook more this year though. Let's hope that my housemates clean. So far they're not that bad. Not that great either. But not that bad. [with cleaning after themselves]

Goodnight!!!!

[sad because I won't get to go to chapel tomorrow]

KhoobHmoov.

So Monica and I finally completely finished moving into our new house for the academic school year. We painted the walls. Assembled the bookshelf and managed to unpack all of our belongings without over crowding our whole room. Not bad. We actually like our room a lot. On one of our main walls, we're letting friends paint whatever they want on it. It's supposed to be a mural-ish thing. Pretty cool though. Right now we have a walrus holding a kite, a Ricardo Chungo looking dude, a dinosaur, some random abstract painting, a match with flames, a pig with glasses, a dust bunny, and a running bunny, and an alien/pea thing. OH and a norwall. And advertisement for A Bird In The Empire. Yay. Excited.

So I've been super exhausted from work. I cannot handle an 8 hour shift. Aiya I need to grow up more (in the "being able to work an 8 hour shift" sense). Monica brought her extra bike from home so now I get to ride a bike to school!!! Yay! It's a lot of fun, except my butt hurts a lot now :/

All in all, I'm glad to be back. I do miss my brother though. A lot.



He had just learned to walk two weeks before I left :)

:]

EXCITEMENT.

yes. can't wait to chill with my international friends. [as well as the non internationals that hang out with the internationals]

takemeaway.

Aiya. I'm so stressed.
I don't want to grow up.
Too many r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s.

Can't handle it.
