Mundane Thoughts

New Year's Eve! i went out pretty early with my two aunts and my cousin, and half an hour before we came home, i started having a deadly headache, and i still have it, it's been about 5hours...so here's my reflection of the past year...i have more stuff to write about, but this headache is killing me that i can't think straight, so i'm just gonna post what i have. Family Fall of 2010 marked the one-year anniversary of my parents having an empty nest. It’s interesting to see how things have changed and how things have stayed the same. My parents have become so much more loving than before. I think now that they only have each other, they’re much more appreciative of each other. Their love is even more evident than before, and dumb arguments no longer exist. Praise the Lord. My brother and I got especially close this year. Maybe it’s because we’re finally at an age where we can have an adult conversation. Or maybe it’s because we’re able to talk about spiritual t

i really love Christmas! my family's never "celebrated" Christmas, as in we never do anything special, obviously we do Christmas stuff in church, but never anything at home. this year's christmas is especially 冷淡, cause a buncha people left around the third day i got back, then my mommy left today for cali to speak...so yixuan and i just chilled around the house and we're watching Breakfast at Tiffany's right now. anyways, all this doesn't matter, i just love the Christmas season, there's just something about the joyousness in everything. and yesterday, nothing exciting happened either, except that at night, yixuan and i went crazy and just laughed at every single thing...crazy to the extent of jumping around...hahaha, so yeah. i really don't care what i do on christmas, i just really love christmas. i hope ya'llz had a very merry christmas! and i hope that you got presents that you love, but more importantly, i hope you remember why we have t

i love being home! it's only been 4 days and i've had so much fun~ everything's better at home! also, as much as i like the snow and how pretty it looks, i'm rather happy that it's warm here! i don't have to layer and layer before i go out...haha, anyways, i will have more updates when i'm not watching a movie...currently watching Letters to Juliet with yixuan! but before i stop (because it'll be the lamest blog post ever...) i had to take a strengths test yesterday for WA, and here are the results, i'm only giving the shortened description, cause the full descriptions are all like an entire paragraph...anyways, here they are!

Monday: REL 255 World Religions Final Tuesday: Chinese 101/102 credit exams Wednesday: REL 222 Johannine Final and REL 211 Pentateuch Final Thursday: fly home! Friday: REL 255 paper so i still have a paper, but i'm so excited i'm done with finals! omgoodness, i almost went crazy these past few days...i'm glad there were two biblical theology classes though, cause then it was interpretations which is easier than memorizing dates and stuff...anyways, the only class i'm gonna miss from this semester is Pentateuch, i dunno why i liked this class SO much, i mean i've always dreaded reading the Pentateuch, but studying it was a lot of fun! and even though people don't like her, i'm glad i have deGroot again for interim! anyways, DONE! celebrate! aka. packing to go home tmr!

Monday: REL 255 World Religions Final Tuesday: Chinese 101/102 credit exams Wednesday: REL 222 Johannine Final and REL 255 Pentateuch Final Thursday: fly home! Friday: REL 255 papers almost there! almost done! i can do it! whee~ i had to take the chinese 101/102 credit exams today, because i want those credit on my AER for this semester, even though i just have to get it before i graduate...anyways, freaking took 3 chinese tests in 1.5hrs...hahaha, it was SO easy though, i had to translate stuff into english and then translate things into PIN YIN, not even characters cause it said "pin yin only" so i was like oh ok. hahaha. but there was a part of the exam and i laughed at...so i had to translate 雞丁 and i just could not think of how to translate 丁 and in my head all i could think of "chicken chunks" hahahaha...and then for a buncha things i was translating, i was like "should i be using correct terms or like white people terms?" so i just did white people

every semester i've done a post like this; in the past years, they were planned, this year it i was.( interesting fact eh? haha.) i cannot believe i will be home again in one week. what the heck. this semester flew by! i only have 3 semesters left in college! (that is, if everything goes according to plan...maybe i'll stay to graduate with the K Boys...hahaha) this semester has been pretty amazing, but i'm gonna save that for my end of the year reflection. anyways, this year's snow has been pretty fail, and with no snow, heat isn't packed in...so i feel like it's colder this year compared to last year, but there's WAY less snow than last year, no fun. (just watch, because i said that, suddenly, tomorrow we're gonna get a blizzard) it's so ugly when there's no snow too, everything's naked. ahhhh! christmas is right around the corner! i'm so excited! i've been listening to christmas music by: glee, michael buble, frank sinatra, and nat

"You don't know how far the ripples of our decisions go" -Wanted Every time I think about this quote, I get a little scared, because unlike how the movie was trying to use this quote, that "oh your decision will have such a great effect and you'll be the hero, I always think of "your mistake is gonna cause SO much trouble." this weekend, i did something stupid because i thought it was fun, hahaha (i mean, most of the time my definition of fun is equivalent to stupidity right?) well anyways, it caused unhappiness between me and a good friend. now, i didn't realize how far the ripples of my decision went, because from past experience, there were no ripples, so i thought that i was safe this time too. but idiotic me was wrong. hahaha, anyways, thank God the problem i caused was solved within a few minutes, but one thing led to another, my decision caused something else to happen...and even though the second "problem" may not have been directl
