^let's just say it took me a week to finish :X. the only scenes i cared for was the restaurant scene with the young girl and the party scene in the end. i think it was because the movie didn't feel very cohesive to me. First he's here with these people and then he's there with those people, but why do i care about any of them? i couldnt figure it out
dude, its almost been a year (since my last post). i think the recent boom of studying abroad blogs sparked my withered xanga candle. im not cool enough to make a blogspot, so i think i'll just be updating here when i go to japan. JUST KIDDING. im totally cool enough to make a blogspot! im just wholeheartedly attached to xanga! i try to stop. but i just keep coming back XD
let's see, some updates.
this summer. about 30 hours/week. it doesnt sound like much, but at the end of most days i am WIPED OUT. i even lost my voice today cuz im so unused to the workload! seriously, i am working 10x's harder than i ever did at school. it's like finals week every day! X____X. all the cute kiddies are worth it though. now all that's left is to win over their hearts, mwahahahhaha, FO JESUS of course! I teach 2 english classes and lead fellowship as well. i do feel a little underqualified for fellowship since i dont feel my faith is that strong, but you know what? as long as i lead them with an eager heart, i think Jesus will be proud. someone's gotta show these little lambs what its all about!
warren poker tournament. some time winter quarter. i emerged victorious out of almost 100 players and walked away with a new Nintendo DS, no strings attached! sha-weet. then some time in the spring quarter there was another tourney and i won a
sigg bottle for 10th place. not too shabby~
poker. sammy and liz (my roomies) got me into it this year. it started with just the 3 of us around our kitchen table, then to watching every poker event that came on tv (including poker after dark every weekday at 2-3am), and finally to live games at keiichi's house where i lost more than i won, boo! you pay for the experience i suppose
.
church. korean united methodist church (KUMC). liz would drive me to church with her every friday for fellowship and sunday for service. some of the people there were so ON FIYAH for Christ it was a little intimidating. good thing they were super nice
... until they found out i wasnt korean... JUST KIDDING XD. some mentionables: jaekwon, paul, jin, karen... oh wow those are the only 4 who come to mind :X. everyone was super kind, but after going there for a year, something just didn't click. next year i need to find me a church with some 4th dimension kind of thinkers!
camp. i went to camp with kumc and they introduced me to the most intense game of mafia i've ever experienced. seriously, you had to BE THERE. the twists, the close calls, the betrayals, the backstabbing
OH MAFIA, i thought you were so simple before! the view there was stunning as well. rolling hills as far as the eye could see, forming a nice gradient as they faded further and further into the horizon. seriously, there were some nice hills.
bang. mafia with cards. came after poker and completely OWNED it during spring quarter. we were all so engaged in our new obsession that poker just fell to the wayside. sorry poker :(. it all started when i borrowed amelia's deck, and now i own 4th edition bang deck of my own. LETS PLAY. BANG! BANG! BANG! :3
4.0. winter quarter. my first and probably my last
. i tried to get another one spring quarter but Econ2 was hard x_x.
double major. because one is too easy! no, just in case psych really can't bring home the bread, i figured i should study some econ too, just like every other kid. so now i'm a declared double major in psychology B.S. and International Studies B.A. (with concentrations in Economics and Japanese Studies). why japanese studies? this brings us to the next point...
and i saved the best for last...
STUDYING ABROAD. it is SO happening. i know because i bought non-refundable plane tickets kakaka. the plan: 8/25 US to Japan. 11/21 Japan to China (for family). 12/29 China to SD (booo!). sammie and i applied for the same program and we also requested to be neighbors in our apartment complex there. the EAP people are super nice and helpful
i pestered them with so many emails because i didnt want anything to go wrong, and they remained patient and gracious throughout! i even got some extra money from the feds this year for doing EAP shaweet!
ok this post is getting a little too long. maybe i'll follow it up with another massive update some other day. *bamf*
