Why Did I Just Post This?

I love packed days. I feel like I’m going to have a very good night’s rest tonight because of it.

Of course, today’s invigorating schedule was brought on by this weekend. Spending some quality times with some quality people helped me refocus and figure out a lot of things in my life. As if that is something new to report… so much to learn about this thing called “life”.

Whew. Time flew by. Good night, world.

What a Week!

I am now a proud member of ISR 9, lead by Karlo and Jonie. From the looks of it, this is going to be one seriously interesting small group. Now, I don’t know if this is where God is leading… Ken stopped me and asked if I would like to join his, since his small group has 7 freshmen and they’re in dire need of a car… but I don’t know. Maybe if I knew how the small group selection process worked. I only asked to be placed into a Wednesday night small group because of my love of symmetry (Sunday Service, Wednesday Small Group, Friday Large Group). We’ll see how this turns out.

Large Group. “The Office” spoof was almost dead on, with the unsteady camera shots and each of the guys being someone from the actual show. Oh, how I miss running through all those episodes with Derek… which reminds me, I think I’m going to hang out with him some more tomorrow… I hope I get all my work done.

Dodgeball at Canaan. That was some good times. I think I threw out my arms in the process (definitely should NOT have done biceps and forearms). I also screwed up my knee. I like sliding on the floor with them.

Tired. I don’t know what led me to wake up so early and go to morning prayer. I just want to make sure that I’m not doing this for anyone but God. But of course, motives can’t be 100% pure… I just need to make sure I get my butt up and spend an hour with God.

Which brings me to my last point: I wonder where my day goes. Here’s a snapshot of a 24 hour period.

1 hour: Bible/Prayer. Yeap… at LEAST… 1 hour: Something else… like foreign language, or musical interests… or drawing… or something 1 hour: Cooking. I cook. I aim for an hour per meal, from prep work to cleanup. However, all this week, I don’t think I had a proper dinner. One night, I had this ghetto rice with eggs and albacore tuna. Protein galore, but not very… yeah, you know what I mean. 2 hours: WIMPE. Lift for 1 hour, run for 30 minutes. Actually, this turns out to be longer than 2 sometimes, or shorter. It evens out to 2 in the long run, I think.

1 hour: Travel. If I need to go on campus, or go to work, this is how long it takes, on average, to walk out to the bus stop and take the bus OR drive and find a parking spot. This also counts for the times I go to ISR now and then. 1 hour: Bathroom/Shower. I think this is pretty good. No more questions. 7 hours: Sleep. I have to get a nap in from time to time… but this has to get shortened. This is too long.

This leaves 10 hours for work. I can’t believe it. Where does the time go? Of course, I can take half an hour here and there and make it a longer work day, but dizang, where does the time go?

Tomorrow is nothing different. Gotta get to shopping, and get to WIMPE, and get to ISR to work and meet people.

This is indeed… the start of something new.

Thank you, GOD, for the sermon tonight… I will apply it directly to forehead, head-… um, yeah. I will apply it daily… directly to… stop.

Whoo hoo! I’m insane! It’s 4 AM! I woke up this time yesterday!

Start of A New Week

Now that I’ve caught up with my daily postings… here comes the list of things to come.

Dean Knox: He will be leaving for Chicago tomorrow. I’m going to miss him… for about a week. I’m sure we’ll see each other more often… actually, I lied. He’s most likely go into a hole larger than last year, with his 18 hour course-load, as well as his job. Need to make sure to pray for him while he’s away in Boston, talking to all those Harvard peoples.

Dan Sun: Got back tonight to Champaign. He’ll be working at Moto like he did last semester for this week and for the semester to come. He’ll become my new WIMPE partner. I finally get to do some cardio… whew… And I Dan’s going to be a replacement chef for Dean, also. I’m sure Dan’s got lots of things to teach me in the art of cooking.

Grace Sue: Randomly running into her today definitely made me smile. We haven’t kept in touch for… like… two years. The one time I remember seeing her was running into her at 12:30 service 2nd semester, senior year. Hopefully, I’ll be meeting up with her before the small group schedules start up again.

Derek Remund: I will hang out with him, either on Monday or Tuesday, depending on what’s better for him. Dean occupied the last few days, but I need to have some nice times with my good ol’ freshman year roommate. I’m sure there will be much Guitar Hero-ing, as well as some “The Office” episodes… Yum.

John Kim: If this kid ever comes to town… then we’ll hang out. But other than that, I can’t promise anything.

ex-Atrium 103: My last year roommates. We’ll have dinner maybe on Thursday.

Basically, the rest of the week is the same old. I’ll work in the mornings… hopefully I’ll be able to procure a parking spot before the semester starts… The three jobs I have, plus the blog… as well as reading the Bible and other random things, as well as restarting with Japanese and Hanja. Freaking Ruby… is still on the list…

Absolutely nothing has changed… I don’t like how I can’t cross things off the list so fast anymore. It seems like most of my things to do are… going to take some time. I guess I’m realizing more and more how impatient I am in a lot of ways.

So, alas, here’s to another week. Waking up at 7 AM. I love routines… when then work out…

Maybe I should start aiming for 6, to get myself to MP… I’m going to give this a more serious thought if I do get a parking pass on campus.
