| i haven't written in my xanga for a while-and i remember because of my dear friend Kimteang!
thank you for calling me! it was such a happy surprise =]
i guess i don't really write in my xanga very much because i got it so
i could read other people's xanga. i guess i like email better because
it's more like having a conversation with someone...

| I just finished reading The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe-read it
straight through, like in two hours? haha feels like an
accoplishment. but really i just picked it up of my brother's
bookshelf- now i'm looking forward to the movie. our church speaker
showed the preview at church 2 wks ago? =]
went to border's yesterday after work, bought a book-haven't done that in a while either.
this summer has been too much working i guess..i didn't want to
be bored but i think i didn't leave enough room for just bumming. or
just being. not that work is stressful or anything..my jobs are fairly
easy and fun actually- at least working with flowers. adding lsat
studying has been more challenging-makes me question my motivation..
why do we do what we do?
been thinking about social justice broadly, but trying to go
deeper..social work? what is that like.. specific issues, economic,
child welfare..
my lsat teacher is a lawyer to defend children from abusive parents, definetly a part of law that hadn't crossed my mind.

| i woke up before 8am tis morning, without my alarmclock. maybe it was cause i heard one of my housemates in the kitchen.
it feels good to have woken up early though, and see the sun and
the trees blowing in the wind.. feels like i have my whole life ahead
of me. It must be because i'm done with finals! =] i turned in my
lastppaer at 5pm yesterday and i was just happy to be done..then i went
to work at the language lab til 10. only one person came in the entire
time. when i left after closing i was soooooo excited to be done! i
think it hit me then hehe and i like half ran/walked really fast to get
home. but it wasn't just that i was done, i was praying and i just felt
happy having God's presence. wouldn't have made it with studying
if not for praying for discipline and focus. it's amazing who God is.
i'll prob start packing soon, gota move stuff out
and back home. i'll be off to rome in a week! and get to spend some
time at summit or chapter camp as ppl still like to call it =]
i'm so excited for the summer! everyone who's around--lets hang out!
yay!
blessings and love to everyone!

| so i ought to be doing some reading about Southeastern Europe...the Balkans, Romania, Hungary, Bosnia, Croatia, Ottoman Empire, Russians coming into the picture, Greeks..there are so many people and cultures in the world, how neat is it that there is soo much diversity? too bad there's no way to be part of it all..but thankfully there are ways to learn and experience if only in part. yay for traveling and being able to meet people from different places. if only people would take advantage of it more.
i'm tired right now, mainly cause of not getting as much sleep as i'm used to-but it was good to be in providence, just chilling with Amy and Susan =] and sleeping over at Cathy's hahah.
but tomorrow is my last day of class for the week so i am thankful for that, even if it's monday schedule on thurs which is more classes for me. thankfully my 4pm class was cancelled. gave me time to relax and read about Moses and the Hero's journey. How crazy is that story of God showing power and proving his power over Pharaoh multiple times...though i do wonder if he had to kill all the first born of Egypt to do that...somethings are just beyond understanding. Thankfully I or we don't have to understand it all...Brian Houseman from my church wrote this study to go with the Moses story and i liked that he reminded us that God gave His son as well, to die for the world

| so i realize i read ppl's xangas but don't really write on mine.. i
suppose the idea is that if ppl really wanted to oknow they'd take the
time to talk to me but i understand that things like xanga help just to
know a little..
i just got back from taco bell and kfc with my sister.
random food cravings indeed! anyone been through drive through where
they tell you to pull over and park and they'll bring your food out to
you?
break's been good though. i suppose i'm never bored
with having nothing to do. i think that really means that i'm
pretty lazy. there's nothing wrong with relaxing and stuff but at some
point i can't just sit on my bum and do nothing.
i think i'm realizing that school work can take over my
life. i've always been pretty studious-recently lots of ppl have told
me that i am very hardworking-and i think for the most part it's a good
thing but too much focus on one thing is probably bad. The rest of life
awaits...
hearing about the tsunami has made me think even
more about how different the world is..countries differ so much and the
lives people lead are so different. ec development class showed that in
one sense, going to cambodia and hearing about friends in india and
china is another way..
super thankful for the blessings and comforts that i have. yet
"to whom much is given, much is required" ..so i've been thinking
summer plans...internship of some sort? econ related? research? or
working within the urban community? ..maybe the question is, is this
summer gonna be linked to future job/career? i've always been very
indecisive...God grant me wisdom
haha i realize this entry has gotten a little long..that
seems to be my tendency, not write often but longer at a time..that's
the same for email and keeping in touch with ppl...
