Wow I have not updated in far too long.

This Friday marks the day that I become a full-fledged college student (haha full-fledged is funny here because its a description that is usually applied to mature birds...and my mascot just so happens to be a Blue Jay). Strange how I don't feel like one at all. I feel like I do not have a worry in the world, or at least I did when I was back in California. Everyday, I had friends to go out with or at least something to do. I think about college and how much I'm going to have to study at Hopkins, but then I realize that I am not in shape at all for the rigors of higher education.

But my biggest concern right now isn't whether I'll score that A or what extra-curriculars I need to participate in. No, none of these. I worry because I know college is the time to make God my everything or to completely forget about Him. Since my missions trip to Hong Kong, I feel like I've grown so much stronger in my relationship with God. But as I talk to my friends who have already begun college, I see that temptation is everywhere. I think its the whole issue of "talking the talk but not walking the walk". If someone were to challenge me, I have so much I could discuss about whatever issue they throw at me. I would know how to respond with regards to morals and with regards to Christianity. But I worry that my human nature will triumph and I will settle into college all too well. So every night I pray that I will be able to resist this lifestyle.

But I am pretty dang excited to get started with school^^ Now is my chance to show the world what I am capable of. I want to work hard and get to the medical school of my dreams, UCSF, get my MD, drudge through residency, and start to live life as a person who can make a difference.

Edit: I'm scared too because I know college is a chance for me to witness to those around me. Pray for me.

I had a pretty fantastic weekend!

On Friday, we had our last chapel and went off to Great America! IT WAS SO HOT. OMGOOODNESSSSSS. I WANTED TO DIE. So we got there, and it was all chill (like...calm, not cold). We got into line for Demon, and it was SOOO HOT. We waited for over an hour just to ride Demon. I think it was worth it though. Pretty intense X_X. We went to get some SOFT FROZEN LEMONADE. IT WAS SO DELICIOUS AND GREAT ON A COLD DAY.





This is Lolita. She worked there ALL day, serving lemonade to large crowds. She's my hero. She got my order wrong though =[ I asked for half Strawberry and half Lemon, but I got ALL lemon =[.

Then we went off to walk around the park. We got onto Psycho Mouse the moment the ride opened up from maintenance. Then we went around, and passed the Guess My Weight game. I played =D. They guessed me at...*drumroll*...142! HAHAHA. I actually weigh around 205. Dang, the girl manning the booth was just flattering me =D. That was the end of that day.

Yesterday, we had Class A. Even though I didn't make it, I still went to support the team! CONGRATS TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO MADE MOC! Our girls team is pretty dang amazing. It was so hot there. I had to help out with the long jump pit for like 2 hours! 2 hours in the hot sun completely took it out of me. I'm still dead like a day later. Insane, huh?



This probably doesn't make much sense, so let me explain. I don't quite remember why, but I wanted to point out that Nicole was a loser. She made some silly statement, to which I quickly responded with an L. You know how when you want others to know they're losers, you make an L with your right hand, so they see an L? I did that, and she was like "HAHA YOU'RE CALLING YOURSELF A LOSER". But she got totally embarrassed, because it was the other way around. =D

After the meet, we got back to campus and waited around for Anita to get picked up by her mom. During this time, Carie somehow managed to get a hold of my keys (no, she did not manhandle me. I think I know how to handle myself, thank you very much) and hopped into my car. She drove into the hallway! OMG. People were staring at us! I got her back though. Farted in the car when she wasn't expecting anything. I'm the real winner here.

After that, we went out for sushi. I got myself a good ol Bento box. But the greatest thing about our trip to the sushi place was that Grace's allergies were acting up and she needed a bag of ice to keep herself from scratching her eyes out. So I ask for a bag of ice for her eye, and the waitress brings this grocery bag full of ice and it looked ridiculous and it was SOO embarrassing.



HAHA
