i'm drinking a yogurt smoothie right now (new from Yoplait). it's.....quite interesting texture. :D

i keep falling asleep in my 8-9:30am class (bioMEMS) on tu. and th. this is due to 3 factors:
1) it's at 8 am -- me get up at 7:15am.
2) it's in a lecture room (i NEVER fall asleep in a regular classroom setting).
3) the prof. uses powerpoint presentations.

if 2) or 3) wasn't true, then i'll have a shot at being awake.....but the combination is just horrible. maybee that's just me.....do other ppl/students that fall asleep in class have the same problems/conditions? i wonder. maybee they should do a study on the use of powerpoint and students sleeping.

did anyone else watch "My Sassy Girl"? It's this Korean movie that's pretty funnie. It's about this guy who's kinda shy who randomly meets this drunk girl on the subway...and things progress from there. The girl is realli.....hmmm, what should i say....agressive and controlling. :D she always sez to the guy, "u wanna die?" and hits him n stuff. i thought that was pretty funnie. mebee i should follow her example. :D

so i went to mcb 150 lab and decided to stick w/ it cuz it seemed so interesting...and beatty is a pretty cool guy. :) and it's cool how everyone in the class signs up to bring food for the whole class (cuz the labs are from 1-5:30). hopefully these aren't crazy premed students who are waaay competitive. it's my last semester (kinda)....i just want all B's.....i dun wanna fight w/ u ppl.....

okie, due to some prodding :D, i'm back. school is starting....*drumroll*....TOMORROW! that means time to go to sleep early, and make the most of this last "regular" undergrad semester. i don't know if this 8am class thing will work out or not, just becuz of my lazy habits and not getting used to this since freshman yr (and back then, i always fell asleep in it). the easy way out would be just to drop it, esp. since the prof.'s expectations and demands are very high indeed....however, that seems such a waste....

My grace. Tahoe retreat was wonderful, altho sleep-derived. :P However it was definitely nice to talk to many of the girls and hang out w/ them. and it's also encouraging at the same time....it's kinda scary tho, to have underclass ppl ask you relationship questions, b/c i feel so.....not a good example in that area. :P

reading spurgeon's sermons are interesting.....after reading one of them u're kind of just like, ok i can never be so enthusiastic and fervent about the gospel as he was. he just flows w/ such truth and feeling that makes me almost ashamed to be identified as a Christian, because he makes u realize every time how short u fall. *sigh* but yeah, he's a very eloquent and captive person.....kinda wish i was there to hear him speak the sermons IN PERSON.....how awesome would that be. hmmm, mebee i'll introduce myself in heaven. :D

ok ok, after much time lounging around, being a couch potato, and not doing much thinking, i am finally back. you can read most of the stuff on "warring" about my break and time in NY and NJ. but now i'm back in fl, and will be back in berkeley in 5 days times. time to go to work again on my grad school apps....i'm kind of nervous about the whole thing because if i don't get into anything that means i hafta start looking for stuff and planning out after graduation so i don't end up as a bum on the berkeley streets...and that would be a major pain in the butt. so i am scared, but ultimately it is God's plans.

temptation is a slippery thing to be grasped with. sure the concept isn't hard, but when it actually comes it can twist up everything. i guess that's when how strong u r spiritually can be truly evaluated. it's funnie how something that's so tempting at this one moment can mean nothing to u at another.....when i don't give in to it, it passes quickly usually...and i'm left wondering what was so appealing about it before....that is, until the next time it comes along. i think that it is at those times when the spiritual disciplines count for what my mental state is to battle it.
