I am an Asian-American college student majoring in Technical Communications at the University of Washington. My Spring Quarter 05 Schedule: posTComm, TC 403, TC 407, ARCH 251, ESS 495.
All I need to do is find a PAID summer internship and I'm set!
What is wrong with me? I'm totally fine before I take the test, I take the test, it's all good, then as soon as I finish and I walk outside, I start completely freaking out!! Like I almost couldn't breathe while I was walking across Red Square back to Haggett, my heart was beating so fast. Yeah, :) at least now I get to go home and be with Dan. My 90% reason of going back to the tri-cities. 2% food, 1%Bethel & Chinese Church, 7% the rest of everyone/family ;) Lots of Love to everyone!!

Okay, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in....in a few minutes I'm going to head out and take the second physics midterm which covers chapters 1-7. I'm not honestly too concerned, but it's never fun to go into a test and not know if you might totally not know something on the test. Like that's totally what I felt like when I took the AP Physics exam. I finished packing, but it seems like I'm taking a HECK of a lotta stuff back with me. It's only because I'm indecisive and I like to be prepared. I hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day!

Ecclesiastes 12:12 "...be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh."
I don't even think I'm learning anything. I spend all my time rushing to finish HW on time, and once I get the right answer, I pat myself on the back and move on. I can't even remember how to do the problem three minutes later, much less a week or two when there's a test. I feel like my body is disintegrating, from the inside of my head out, and all the way down to my toes. I'll have to spend either time tonight or inbetween classes to pack to go home this weekend. Yeah, there needs to be a pill you can take so you can get 8 hours of sleep without actually sleeping.

Woot woot, this weekend is gonna rock!! :) Loves and kisses to Dan :). So Diane and I have been eating microwavable TV dinners for the last couple days. It's amazing, they're only about $1-$2 and they cook in 4 minutes. Much faster than spending 10-15 minutes walking to the "8" and then trying to decide which looks most appetizing and then waiting for food. And it usually takes like 30-45 minutes to eat and you can't do anything during that time except talk or look out the window. Here, you can totally multi-task! I am like the MASTER at storing up food here and then 'cooking' it. I have it all :D (i.e. many packets of Easy Mac) and I think it always tastes pretty good...but usually I forget to eat and then when I do, I'm starving so I could probably eat a salted piece of paper or Elmer's Glue and think it was okay.
:( One bad thing that happened today though, I was doing the Chem Lab, about calorimetry (styrofoam cups and boiling water) and I burnt my finger :(, it doesn't hurt anymore, but it stung for like 2 hours afterwards. Here's a picture, it's my middle finger, it's slightly red from where I accidently came into contact with the Bunson burner.
At least it doesn't look like it's going to blister...that would suck!

At the suggestion of my good friend Wendy, I have decided to include this message board for anyone that would like to leave a message concerning my blogs. Questions, encouragement, disagreement, corrections, etc. :) All are welcome, I just ask that if you refer to a blog, put the date of the blog in the subject! Enjoy!

#1: I am way extremely screwed for time/energy/HW.
#2: See #1.
Nonetheless, since I believe it is important, I'm going to post a story that was from yesterday's devotional.
God's tender heart must often ache listening to our sad, complaining cries. Our weak, impatient hearts cry out because we fail to see through our tear-blinded, shortsighted eyes that it is for our own sakes that He does not answer at all or that He answers in a way we believe is less than the best. In fact, the silences of Jesus are as eloquent as His words and may be a sign not of His disapproval but of His approval and His way of providing a deeper blessing for you. Yes, praise Him even for His silence. Here is a story about how one Christian dreamed she saw three other women in prayer.
When they knelt the Master drew near to them. As He approached the first of the three, He bent over her with tenderness and grace. He smiled with radiant love and spoke to her in tones of pure, sweet music. Upon leaving her, He came to the next but only placed His hand upon her bowed head and gave her one look of loving approval. He passed the third woman almost abruptly, without stopping for a word or a glance.
The woman having the dream said to herself, "How greatly He must love the first woman. The second gained His approval but did not experience the special demonstrations of love He gave the first. But the third woman must have grieved Him deeply, for He gave her no word at all, nor even a passing look."
She wondered what the third woman must have done to have been treated so differently. As she tried to account for the actions of her Lord, He Himself came and stood beside her. He said to her, "O woman! How wrongly you have interpreted Me! The first kneeling woman needs the full measure of My tenderness and care to keep her feet on My narrow way. She needs My love, thoughts, and help every moment of the day, for without them she would stumble into failure.
"The second woman has stronger faith and deeper love than the first, and I can count on her to trust Me no matter how things may go or whatever people may do. Yet the third woman, whom I seemed not to notice, and even to neglect, has faith and love of the purest quality. I am training her through quick and drastic ways for the highest and holiest service.
"She knows Me so intimately, and trusts Me so completely, that she no longer depends on My voice, loving glances, or other outward signs to know of My approval. She is not dismayed or discouraged by any circumstances I arrange for her to encounter. She trusts Me when common sense, reason, and even every subtle instinct of the natural heart would rebel, knowing that I am preparing her for eternity, and realizing that the understanding of what I do will come later.
"My love is silent because I love beyond the power of words to express it and beyond the understanding of the human heart. Also, it is silent for your sakes--that you may learn to love and trust Me with pure, Spirit-taught, spontaneous responses. I desire for your response to My love to be without the prompting of anything external."
Ooooo...my hands are majorly frozen, and typing is kind of a difficult process. They feel like lead they are so cold. I played Croquet today/just now for an hour and a half. No I did not win :(. It is very frigid outtie. Ahhh, I'm no longer Player of the Month...I will post a link to the pictures for this match when they are put up on the Honors Croquet League site. Now, on to the dreaded homework.
