| Foward2008 is here and I don't want to look back to the past semester and regret any of it because if all those trials didn't occur, I wouldn't be able to taste how sweet it is to not live like that again.
I visited Hannah's apt in Delaware for the first time yesterday and it was so refreshing to meet new people (Don't get me wrong, I love all the people home dearly)... And I hung out with part of their small group and God blessed me with a glimpse of how He's blessing my sister over there. It was so easy to feel like I've known some of these people for a long time though I was meeting them for the first time. And they showed me that I'm not part of just my small group back in philly but I'm part of a bigger family. It's so easy to lose sight of this when we get comfortable with just knowing our small group or our usual group of friends.
And now I'm back in Philly and school is around the corner... I'm tempted to feel scared and anxious about falling back into my "school mode" but I really want it to be different this semester. There is something sweet about not living for myself. I've been serving nursery this break and I've missed the kids and just serving in general. So I feel like God has put it on my heart to come back to nursery. The funny thing is I feel happier when it's not just about me. Something one of the sisters shared last night was how serving was not the burden she expected it to be because of the love she had grown for the group... and that's how I want it to be this semester. Please keep me accountable.
Anywho HAPPY NEW YEAR's everyone =) (I know it's late =P)

| mm yes i haven't been on this thing forever~
anywho made some satisfying purchases (though i'm poor) what was i thinkingsjkdjfklsjakfj... ) anywho haha
i don't know if waiting outside circuit city since 2 am was worth it...but the experience was fun with alicia, sam, dave as we huddled to keep warm o.O i seriously started wondering how the homeless people could stand the biting cold...
but yes later we somehow met up with mihye... who is crazier and was shopping since 12 am... and then later we hit other stores and eventually the mall...(i made more purchases at circuit city than the mall...) but yes i literally understand the phrase "shop till you drop" because i was soo dead tired afterwards that dave was making sure i wouldn't swerve on the road... ominar
but man i'm back at school now (had work)...and i miss home. It was my first time home this semester and now i have 2 more weeks of school left then finals... (musssst passss... please pray for me)... anywho... i really appreciate family and home more... and miss it dearly...
This year has sucked butt... but i really do enjoy what i'm learning... if only it was 1. taught better, 2. taught at a reasonable pace 3. 2 blocks weren't running simultaneously. other than that i like the material... and i think i'm becoming interested in nutrition as well. Me and Jenny met this really sweet old man at the bookstore who was sharing his past wisdom with us and he's inspired me to consider looking into nutrition... seeing how it affects people alot.. mmm but yehh enough rambling on and on...
3 things i'm grateful for this season are :
family, sleep, & money (not in a greedy way)~ but like a roof over my head...
mmm and one last thing... I think 5th year really changes a person. My pharmacist sent me this email that talking about how when you hit adversity (e.g. boiling water), you can go in strong and come out weak (e.g carrot), go in soft inside and come out hardened (e.g. egg), or go in and be an aroma and affect your surroundings without your surroundings affecting you (e.g. coffee)...
personally i feel like the egg...but i want to be the coffee...
ok i sound crazy and i don't know if any of that previous stuff made sense...but 5th year is crazy, i love it and i hate it at the same time. and I HAD nooO idea that thanksgiving was around the corner... it definitely hit me by surprise... and btw i took a chunk out of my thumb peeling potatoes sigh...the size of a bebe... but surprisingly it's almost done healing in 1 day... crazy...
ok i think it's time to sleep... but hope everyone had a good holidayyyy
