| new year's resolutions!
1. be more diligent in studying the Word. i don’t know whyyyy i get
sooo lazy and why i waste so much time. i got this daily devotionals
journal from a lady from church for Christmas, and i’m determined to
write in it daily. roomie, i think you should hold me to it. :)
2. spend more time praying. i think i’ve realized this year how awesome it is to be able to just pray for people.
3.
be a better student (aka live at the library). i realized during finals
week that if i spent a fraction of the time that i spent at the library
during finals week throughout the quarter, i wouldn’t have to cram
nearly as much at the end of the quarter. i’m actually really excited
about all of my classes this quarter, so hopefully that’ll motivate me
to spend more time studying.
4. develop deeper relationships. i feel
like i’ve been really lazy this year with keeping up with friends from
freshman year. i guess it’s hard now that i don’t see them all the time
(esp. true with roble friends), but i need to be better about
maintaining friendships and developing new ones.
5. be more
supportive and encouraging. man, i really suck at this… i’m really bad
at telling people how much i appreciate them. oh darn, this was one of
my new year’s resolutions from last year. hehe i guess i have to work
super-hard at this.
6. worry less. “who of you by worrying can add a
single hour to his life?” (Matthew 6:27) yeeeah, it’s pretty silly to
worry all the time. but then again, i’m a pretty silly person.
7. be less judgmental and more understanding/compassionat
e.
8. be more passionate in living out the things i am called to do.
9. be less obvious with my facial expressions, haha. especially during tmony rehearsal. :)
10.
go to bed earlier! if i’m online really late and i’m obviously not
doing any work, tell me to go to bed. and hit me if i don’t.
11. be
less passive(-aggressive?) don't pretend like nothing's wrong if
something is obviously wrong. let people know if i'm upset about
something instead of bottling it all up.
on that note,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

| wow, this is pretty ridiculous... i haven't posted on xanga in FOREVER.
so life is pretty awesome. :) i just dropped polisci 1 (intro to international relations), and i'm free as a bird. i decided that IR was definitely not for me. maaan, i keep changing my mind! i'm pretty sure i'm gonna end up doing some combination of philosophy, econ, and music though. and maybe throw chinese into the mix as well... i looove chinese. actually, it just so happens that i'm taking chinese right now, but if i were taking another foreign language, i would probably love it just the same.
testimony's going well. we've been blessed with twelve new members. we're touring in chicago/milwaukee this december! so i get to see all my elementary/middle school friends... that should be awesome. :)
sometimes i just can't believe that i'm at stanford. seriously. some people here are just... AMAAAAZING.
eh. need to study.
but i will update later.
hope everyone is swell.

course grade on his/her report card.
3) Don't "ay-goo" loudly at your kid's dress habits.

"Yae-Ihll (Yale) or "Ssu-tan-po-deuh" (Stanford).

korean community.

mutually know.
