Day 150.

Got to hang out with family and a few family church friends today and it felt really good. Brought back some really good memories..makes me feel older reminiscing about high school and freshmen year in college. Don't get to see a friend as much since she moved to Philly for med school so it's good to catch up whenever she's back :) So we went to lunch and like most days, brother paid. We walked around a bit and made our way to Rice to Riches and Pinkberry. My cousin and I have been wanting Rice to Riches for a while, so we went there while friends got Pinkberry. I remember my brother and friends ALWAYS paying for me when I was in high school..and even now..so I wanted to do the same for my cousin, so when she started to take out her wallet, I told her not to worry. Here's to growing up slooooowly!

HAHA.

Day 149.

Family church went on a Memorial Day picnic. A couple of weeks ago I was really pissed I had to go to this picnic because I couldn't go somewhere else, but I felt good today and had fun. I forget how much the moms do every week and especially for outings like today. Without them we would have crappy food..if any. Some of the little kiddies wanted to go on the boat ride, but no one really wanted to accompany them so I agreed to take them. Tiring, but fun. Brought back some good memories :)

HAHA.

my boyfriend briefly shared some of his experience at basileia with me.
sounded amazing.
not that I didn't believe prayer worked before, but wow.
Seriously, thanks for sharing with me.

so some of you may know that I did not get the credit for a Theatre class that I took Winter session of 2011. As my last attempt, I decided to email the undergrad adviser and the professor that I took the class with to see if there was any possible way to get the credit. I thought there would be little to no chance of getting the credit. I prayed, "God, please, this is the last possible attempt." And God delivered. Turns out I can't get the credit for the last Winter session course but I can register for the fall course that he's teaching and get the credit for the course in the fall.

God has pulled through for me in so many ways this past year. I wish I could remember these moments when I'm so deep into the things that are wrong in my life. God, You never cease to amaze me.

Days 144-148.

On Tuesday, I had to drop by school to return a library book and I had some time to spare so I texted my friend to see if she was available. Normally I would've just left right after, but I told myself that I could take a few minutes to catch up with a friend who I haven't really seen all semester. For dinner, my mentor and husband took me out to give me some advice on post-graduate plans. The conversation really scared me, but without their guidance I know I'd be waaaay worse off so THANK YOU!

A friend needed some help packing up to clear out of her dorms and since I didn't really have anything to do, I went to go help her. FUN! Makes me :) knowing I'm not the only messy one haha.

Went to go get chicken and rice and since my brother is always buying me food, I asked him if he wanted me to pick him up some. HOT SAAAAUCE :)

My best homegirl had an appointment in the morning and I had nothing to do so I went with her. Haven't taken the morning train with her in a long while - good memories :) And second time in the week where I almost pooped my pants. :)

Wasn't feeling that well because of hormonal changes haha so didn't want to do anything but stay at home. But a friend invited me to her place earlier in the week so I hauled my lazy butt over for a few hours and when I got back momma wanted to go to the supermarket so went with her there.

HAHA.

Finals week has definitely been tiring both physically and spiritually. After having done poorly today, I'm feeling pretty disappointed with myself. On a brighter note, this week I've gotten closer with a friend of mine who I didn't use to talk to. She has been under a lot of stress with family, relationships and finals and I was so surprised to see how strong she was, despite the circumstances she was going through. It encouraged me to see things in a brighter light. I was glad too, to have been able to have those conversations with her and comfort her. It just seems like she needs a lot of love and encouragement so that she can get through it all. :)

Days 142-143.

Got a text from a friend right about when I was supposed to wake up yesterday. She got out to the city really early and was wondering when I was gonna get to church. I told her I would try to get out early but wasn't sure about what time so I hustled out of bed and got out to spend some time with her :)

I remember a friend mentioning how bored he is at home so I told him we should hang out since we live so close to each other. And to save the little money we had, we decided to watch movies and cook at his house. Beats me doing that with my brother at home! Haha. So I packed some food for us to eat and with another friend that I don't see much, we walked over to our friend's house for a day of lazy fun.

HAHA.

a different perspective.

Real quick, since I need to get back to doing my work..

So for my chinese course, one of my classmates whom I don't know, emailed the class and asked if the final was 9-11 and if the review sheet was on blackboard. I don't usually email the people who email the class with questions back. Or, actually, throughout my four years in college, I have never emailed a classmate back with a question before..I always just assumed someone else would do it or that it was their own fault for not knowing/paying attention.

But then it got me thinking..what if this person shows up to the final at 11 (which is when our class usually starts) and misses the whole final? What if they fail and couldn't graduate because of that one stinkin' foreign language credit?? If that happened to me, that would suck. A different perspective always helps!

So I did not want that to happen to my classmate..so even though I didn't know whether or not someone else replied to his/her email, I figured it wouldn't hurt to email them as well. =)

Back to workk, harry potter glasses for your enjoyment :).
