oh yeah..i have finals this week. wednesday, thursday, and friday. wish me luck i guess. for some reason i'm just not worried about them. i suppose i will get worried once i start preparing for finals. but it all just seems too far away. three more days. thats a good enough amount of time.

His Love Endures Forever

I'm having roommate troubles right now and papers are getting a bit annoying, but despite all these things, God is there and His Love endures forever.

I suppose to get my mind off of my troubles, I shall tell about my Thanksgiving break.

Thanksgiving break was just amazing. It felt so nice to be back at home for such a long period of time! And although I did not do much work, I feel satisfied. I realized that there are so many things that I am thankful for. And some days when I'm feeling completely abandoned and lonely and broken, I really do not have to feel that way. God has blessed me with so much and He continues to bless me everyday. He has given me a loving family and wonderful friends. And I believe that I take many of these things for granted. I hope that He will teach me to be more appreciative for the things I have and for the people I have.

Umm, I'm trying my best to stay calm, but I really really dislike my roommate with a passion. And I don't know what to do...

its almost time to give thanks

sometimes my loneliest moments are when i am surrounded by people

i have learned something really important since i've arrived at the university: first impressions are very important and they're deceiving. everyone is always talking about this new person he or she just met and how nice they are. but really, are they? how can you judge someone you just met? you don't know ANYTHING about them. and yeah, the way people present themselves can tell us things about their personality, but still. you don't really know someone until you know them...and their dirt. yeah. i hate that part.

i feel like i'm wasting my time with some people who don't want to waste their time on me.

trick or treat for unicef?

hello,

so this year for Halloween, i went trick-or-treating. it was my first time ever. in the past, my church had fall harvest festivals and i loved going to them. about three plus year ago, i caught 11 fish when i played the "how many fish can you catch with a paper net in 1 minute" game. i loved them all and i tried my best, as an amateur, to care for them all. unfortunately, 8 of my 11 fish died. then i learned how to care for them the right way. anyways, my point is that i loved the harvest festival. and i love my fish.

instead of trick-or-treating, i candy-swapped with my neighbors. mom took my to the store to choose my favorite candies to pack in Halloween baggies. then i would walk around my circle and receive 7 bags of candy in return. that was lots of fun :)

i never really participated in trick-or-treating because i grew up in a Christian family and we did not celebrate Halloween. also, my mom did not encourage it. but i did not mind. i was scared of the dark anyhow.

this year i decided to join in the fun with my fellowship. i still do not celebrate Halloween but i use this holiday as an opportunity to have fun while collecting change for children in need.

guess what i dressed up as? a robber :) i was all black!! and i had a robber sac for all the things i stole. but i really didn't steal anything. i took nothing without permission! so we went to newton. it was nice, but it was dark. i felt kind of silly because i was supposed to be a sneaky robber but i was scared to death when i was walking around in the dark. (which is really the perfect cover for me). my friend zeewei dressed up as a freaking ZOMBIE. scare me to death. he looked like the joker. but for some reason i felt safe standing next to him. haha. maybe cuz i knew he would scare some people away for me. (EVEN THOUGH I'M A ROBBER!)

yeah so successful night :)
we had some food at super 88 and then went to someone's apartment to watch a scary movie. it was very very scary. but the whole time i kept telling myself: "this is not real, this is not real", when the movie is based on a true story...haha

umm, i don't know how to explain how i feel spiritually right now, but i really like this:

All I gotta do is hold on tight
There is hope for me yet.
Because God wont forget
All the plans He's made for me
I have to wait and see
He's not finished with me yet.

i feel like i know what i need to do to get what i want...well, that sounds silly of me. what i mean is, i'm yearning for something, and i know i will only finally be completely 100% satisfied when i turn to God and let him guide me. and to start off, i need to confess, repent, and start anew. and i know He's waiting for me. so i'm going to try my best to turn back to Him and begin to get to know Him better.

and one more thing, i am very satisfied being here at BU. and i hope that does not change.
