timing

time is no longer in the form of Month, Date, Year. now, it is in the form of, "2 midterms this thursday" or "Quiz#3 next week". i had no idea halloween was this weekend until my pastor brought it to my attention. kinda sad how i don't know what the date is because my calendar revolves around when i have exams or assignments due.

fall

so, it's fall quarter 2009.

it's weird being back in the routine of school, work, kcm, church, and family/friends.

it's weird to think merely 3 months ago, i was literally dying to come home.

i seriously feel like korea was so long ago, and literally a million things have happened since i've been back. there's been a lot of life changing events, and some not so life changing, but still have just as much of a profound altering effect. when i was having korea withdrawals in september, i think it was just because i wanted to avoid confrontation here. i didn't want to deal with the things going on in my life, in the present, so i wanted to go back, into the past, which isn't the right way to handle things. but, i think i've managed, for the most part.

one good thing about commuting is that it forces me to use my time wisely, aka, study. i'm always at the library or starbucks (with my lovely gold card!), and for the most part, i get a lot accomplished...except, for right now, since i'm blogging. but, i hope with only 12 units and more time spent as a nerd, it reflects in my grades at the end of the quarter. i can't afford to pull what i pulled in my 2nd year of college. change is needed.

one bad thing about commuting is that it is not physically possible for me to drive slower than 75 mph. i honestly cannot drive any slower than that. i really don't know what it is. it also makes me so irritated that people drive in the fast lane, going 65 mph. there needs to be a new law saying anyone who is in the far left lane needs to at least be driving 80 mph, because they just cause traffic and congest the lane (and make my life more stressful).

i did some snipping. much needed snipping. the baggage is gone, for good.

"and i pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--"

-Ephesians 4: 17-18
