going home...

so...i'm leaving tomorrow morning..or rather, in 8 hours. can't say that i'm very excited to go home. dont know why. but at the same time glad to leave. feeling a little sick now. sore throat, cough, and some weird pressure on my ears. like the kind u get when the plane takes off, only i'm not on the plane. yet. ugh. hate travelling when i'm not in the healthiest state of mind. pray that God will heal me and give me strength to make it back home.

2 years have really flown by. half my college career is over! can't believe it. seems like it was just yesterday that i was a lowly freshman who was 'fresh off the boat' to the States. but wow. so much has changed. it's been a crazy experience.. wouldn't change anything for the world. really appreciate all these friendships i've made here. and i'm gonna miss my roomie! who's leaving for hongkong in the fall..so i wont see her till feb of next year. :( but hopefully parents will let me go to korea n visit her n other friends :) i love having friends from all over the world. u get to stay with them for free n visit their countries n have them show u around!

so..finished all my finals. all two of them. haha. one was hard cuz i was too lazy to study for it, one was easy cuz i actually studied. omg didn't do anything over the weekend. sunday night esp! sooo distracted by my neighbors. went to macdonalds at like midnight..hung around..then went to play guitar hero at the souphouse..got back at like 3am and had to finish my part for the group paper due the next day. heh. hardly any sleep this week. stupid presentation was during dinner time so the whole class had to miss dinner. what kind of scheduling is this??? anw went shopping today! yay. didn't really get anything cuz my suitcases are already pretty full. so...yeah! i'll be back in 2 days!!! :)

Last week of classes!!

summer is so close yet so far!!! totally no mood to study :(
this week was a week of 'lasts'..last cookout (with wengatz)..last manager meeting for TCA..last small group..last day of classes..
awww!
kinda glad to be handing off Taylor Christian Artists to other people..after being in it for a year, and being in charge of it for a year, i'm ready to move on to another ministry. loved being in it though. was a great experience. we interviewed 4 people and picked 2 to be next year's co-directors..i'm excited for that. they're gonna take TCA to new heights! :)

so next sem i'm gonna be super insanely sick of writing. THREE writing classes - scriptwriting (hopefully i get into it. they're setting up a new one since the other one was full and 20 more people need to take it), freelance writing and specialized reporting. PLUS i'm gonna be Co-NEWS EDITOR for the Echo!! our school newspaper!! exciting. yet scary. never been any sort of editor for any newspaper before!! but i'll be doing it with my next yr roomie, hannah, so we'll learn together. haha.

we moved out on sat!! packed everything i own here in 10 boxes plus a couch, a table and another chair..and 2 carpets.. now my room's soo....empty. feels like i'm on holiday, weirdly enough. haha. watched iron man last night! loved it. love superhero movies..they're just so awesome :) the car ride there n back was funny. party in the back! haha.

Hear You Me

whoa. realized i haven't posted in a longgg time! time has been flying by i guess. haha. so anyway..two weekends ago was Heritage Weekend at Taylor. grandparents came and flooded our sidewalks..we had a ceremony for our brand new memorial prayer chapel in honor of those who died in the accident last last year..
i helped out on WTUR..our sch radio! broadcasting a concert by some guys on campus. was pretty boring work. haha.
celebrated a friend's bdae at this restaurant, olive garden. super awesome italian food. super expensive too. but fun :)

watched Taylathon..our school's tradition - a bicycle race around the sidewalks of campus..8 pple in one team..one team from each class..each person passes off the bike to the other teammate without stopping. so they leap off the bike going at full speed and the other person runs and jumps on the bike. pretty crazy stuff. tons of crazy accidents. bikes going haywire into the crowd..bikers flying off the bikes and head first onto the concrete..tons of scratches and bruises to go around. makes u wonder why pple sign up for this kinda stuff. but entertaining to watch. haha.

had our annual Taylor Christian Artists spring worship night. stressed me out! i did all the details and organizing and everything..cuz adam was doing other stuff.. we were gonna hold it outside..but the forecast said it might rain..so last minute we held it in the student union..still got a pretty good turnout..went pretty well too. i'll miss being TCA co-director next yr..kinda. haha. it was fun while it lasted.

last wk..had Wok Night! Vietnamese food. yummy rice and pork and veggies. was really good. so fun to stir fry in our little pans in front of pple and pretend we know what we're doing too. haha. went for Sophomore Mugging..to get free mugs and get together with the rest of the sophomore class and have fun. and then rushed like mad for my final project for Digital Audio Production the rest of the week. the prof stressed me out cuz he said it usually takes like 25-30 hours to produce a 5 min audio clip. but i finished in 15hours. thank God. booked the audio suites and recorded my voice talents (luke, andrew and john, who were absolutely awesome voice actors!!!) and finally finished editing my proj on sunday. it was due mon. haha. and my prof laughed so hard at it. YAY! means i'll get a good grade. was trying to be funny..didn't know if it would work..but i guess it did! yay. my prof was like, benita, i didn't know u could be so funny!! haha. he's such a cool prof.

sat was ISS Senior Night!!! went to Flattop grille in fort wayne for dinner! yummy yummy stir fry. u get to pick what stuff u want in ur stir fry..rice..noodles..tons of different sauces..meats..other stuffs..and then they mix it n cook it together for u..and they have roti prata!!! which they call flat bread. sooooo happy. sooo full. but i exercised on mon so that made it ok. haha. so...we appreciated our 4 seniors who came..christine..doris..francisco..tryphena. gonna miss them next yr!!! such a happy/sad cycle. yay new freshmen every yr, but sad dont get to see the seniors anymore. oh well.
anw we sang them a song dorothy and i made up to the tune of 'time of your life' by greenday. haha. sung ah and capri made signs to go along with the words. they recorded us. heh.

sun went to watch the play 'The Odd Couple'..was pretty funny n entertaining. kinda long though. went out for dinner afterwards. i love not eating at the DC on weekends..the food gets even worse then. although i have to say the food this yr has been pretty good. i discovered wraps. then i discovered TOASTED wraps. and omg. they are the best things EVER. i can eat wraps for lunch and dinner everyday.

can't believe i'm going home in NINE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!
