| Moving to a new clean blog, I may still post here every so often. Goodbye for now. | | |
| I'm thankful that UConn is going to beat West Virginia today. ::blink::
Haha... no really.
On a more serious note, Thanksgiving break has been... about as restful as I probably expected it to be, and then a little more. I never really sleep well at home, so even when the hours suggest I should not be tired, I still feel tired, but that's okay. The venture up to Michigan this year wasn't so bad, less of George's family was there, so it was less overwhelming and less trying to talk to everyone and re-explain my major to them and whatnot. My sister, Andrea, Jason, Melissa, and myself hung out at Panera yesterday for a few hours not being very productive, so hopefully I'll get some stuff done today. My cousins slept over and we played some Hoopla and watched the Polar Express. My little cousin Jimmy woke up at like 8 or maybe before 8 and started watching TV, but I was too bleah to get out of bed, though no sleep following that time really counted since he kept walking in and out and clonking me on the head to try and get me to get up. I admire my sister for the energy she puts into my cousins when they're here even though I know she needs to re-energize just as much as me during her brief breaks. I should try harder...
My sister and I have the same Myers-Briggs personality, unsurprisingly to me, with about the same weights into the different areas of INFJ. However, Overall she had more percentage than me... I wonder if that means if she has more personality than me... haha. Probably. (=
Even 7 years later, my dad is providing me with things I don't deserve. My mom randomly gave me 59 savings bonds from 15+ years ago, and told my sister and I to go to the bank and cash them out. It'll be fun paying taxes on the 70 dollars of interest per savings bond, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless. I have to go back to the bank on Monday or Tuesday to take care of it because the bank has to do a lot of work before they can be deposited... hehe.
I tend to end most of my posts like this, but I should be getting some work done, so I'm gonna do that now.
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. (=
//Edit: Well, UConn look absolutely terrible right now, but that's okay... there's plenty of other things to be thankful for ()=

| I missed my dad's anniversary this year... it makes me kind of sad that in the busyness of things I've had so little time to sit down and remember things like this... but what can you do...
Randomly, before I browsed my sister's blog this evening and realized I was already over a week overdue, I actually dreamed about my father last night. His face was so vivid in my dream, it was like he was just here yesterday... in my dream, he went away on a business trip or something... he was away... and I was up waiting for him anxiously to come home... I called him and asked him where he was, and I don't remember exactly what happened, but he wasn't able to come back anytime soon...
I woke up and felt pretty sad... so here it is... a lot like my sister's.
7 years later, things are better for me than they've ever been since you left.
But there's still nothing in my life I wouldn't trade for having you back.
Rest in Peace,
I still miss you so much.

| I haven't journaled for a long time... I've been meaning to, but it always gets pushed back.
I applied for graduation the other day, and it looks like should things go smoothly, I'll be all done with undergrad by Spring. It's a scary place for me, and I've been reluctant to hunt for jobs because I feel incompetent and unqualified, but now that I see that I probably really am going to graduate, there's not much choice for me anymore. I could really use prayer for this area of my life. I'd like to work for at least a year or two before I consider more school... and hopefully stay in the Columbus area for more reasons than one. (=
I've struggled a lot this year with how to be an Asian-American wrestling with the issues of how to follow God with my life and help others dealing with the same things... It's such a difficult thing to do and I find myself usually swaying from one side to the other, of understanding and empathizing with the kinds of decisions we have to make, and then getting to the point where I'm having a hard time because I wonder if they're really dealing with these things or just kind of pushing them away. I love my AA's so much, and I wonder if I've been trying hard enough this year trying to reach out to them...
I've also (yet again) rediscovered what a difference having a consistent prayer life makes. Consistently confessing and asking God to lead you makes things just that much easier, when it comes to temptation and making other decisions. Not that life gets easy by any means, but there's such a difference. If you've never discovered this, I hope that you will. It's amazing.
I think I had more to write about, but it doesn't seem to coming to mind at the moment. Maybe I'll think of more later.
//Edit: Oh yes, I got a flat tire late Thursday night, driving around campus... and I also lost something, that is pretty unlike me to lose... Jeff got a pretty lame parking ticket. I wonder of someone is not so happy about 20+ people signing up for Fall Conference on Thusrday evening? Hum...

| Apparently not talking to a bunch of stupid drunk people means I "no speaky english".
Why are people so damn ignorant?
