I've been planning out what classes to take this upcoming year at La Sierra during class and I wondered whether or not I had to take any of the Intro to Chem classes. I really really really don't want to because I don't want to go through any more Chemistry. So I emailed Loma Linda asking them if I have to annnnnnnndddd...
I DON'T! Yay! =]
But I think I might take G. Chem 112 again to raise my grade from that ugly C+. I'll take it with Helbley this time.
Also, I really didn't have to take summer school. By the time Spring Quarter hits, I'm going to need more units. For sure I'll have 5 because of Microbiology, but that's all that I have to take! Soooo maybe I'll take Dev. Psych or easy classes.

Oreos.
During my daily nap that I take after class, I had a dream. Well, I think I had a couple of dreams but this one sticks out the most. It was about OREOS! Apparently I was in summer school in a place that didn't look like GCC and a bunch of people were there as well. Jeralyn and Michael Ignacio are the two that I remember. Anyways, my dad picked me up and while we were in the car, he pulled out Oreos! They were some weird new kind of Oreos and they looked oh so GOOD. I was debating in my head whether or not I should take some. I was trying to rationalize how I could work around the health message that I know a bit about. I had read in Counsels of Diet and Food that consumption of coffee and tea is regarded as a sin. I'm pretty sure it's because of how they have caffeine, so I started to think about whether or not chocolate has caffeine. I was seriously thinking about googling it when I got home. I could feel myself reaching for one, but then I stopped myself! Yay for resisting temptation in a dream! =] And then I vaguely remember asking my dad to take me to Whole Foods where I could buy something that I could eat.
Hah, my dreams feel so real.
I'm ending my second week of summer school tomorrow. Just three more weeks to go! Intro to Logic is an okay class. It's not as hard as I thought it would be and the fallacies are becoming less interesting, but I shouldn't complain! Hopefully it all ends with an A!
Not only is it three more weeks until my first summer session is over, but three more weeks until my friends start arriving from the Philippines! ..excited!..
Well, I'm pretty happy now that I have found a source of Internet. I'm going to try to see if the phone jack in my room miraculously has started working, but if not, the computer is moving to the kitchen! Such as weird location, but whatever. I just need Internet. But without MySpace, it gets to be pretty boring after awhile. So I was actually thinking about making a new MySpace, but I don't want to go through all the trouble of adding and searching for the friends that I once had.
Now that I have had the joy of finding Internet, I should really becoming productive. I don't want to say that this summer was worthless. Sooooo I should really start doing stuff.
Here I goooooooo...

Lonely.
The next four to five weeks of summer will be lonely ones.
A lot of my friends, especially the ones that I've talked to the most lately, are in the PHILIPPINES!
Melissa and her family left on Sunday, Jeremy left last night, Gomez is leaving tonight, and Jenny is leaving at the wee hours of tomorrow. At least I got to talk to all of them before they left! I called Melissa right before she boarded the plane on Sunday, Jeremy and I talked before he boarded as well, and Gomez just called me as he went through the gate. I told Jenny to call before she boards so I'm going to be able to talk to her before she leaves too.
Hah, I accidentally called Jeremy while he was in the Philippines. Jenny and Gomez both told me that his flight got delayed but I told Jenny that I was pretty sure it didn't, but when Gomez told me too I was like, "What?!" so I decided to give him a call and I was surprised that he answered because he's there already. But that was pretty cool (and expensive hah) =]
*sigh* Grr, the passport delays! I just watched NBC News and they reported on how there are passport delays for millions of Americans because after they had passed that traveling law, millions rushed to get new passports or renew their passports so it's taking up to three months for their passports to be sent back to them. So Mommy and I are really bummed. Blaaaah. At least we're not the only ones! And apparently, it's going to get worse if that land law is passed this year or next year.
Time to get back to reading my Philosophy textbook. It's pretty funny though...

Here Am I, Send Me
"Here Am I, Send Me" - Words and Music by John Purifoy
Here am I, send me.
Here am I, Lord, send me.
Unto thee, willingly, yielded I come.
Show the path that I must walk,
Compel me then to go,
And if I stray, bring back the light of day,
For here am I, send me I pray.
Send me to be what's created in me.
Formed in your image, I stand.
Turn my weakness into your power,
Pow'r to be at last all I'm able to be.
Here am I, send me.
Here am I, Lord, send me.
Precious Holy Spirit, come, fill me anew.
Give me wisdom, send me strength,
Grant that I may be a mirror of your never-ending love,
For here am I, send me I pray.
Sned me to be what's created in me.
Formed in your image, I stand.
Turn my weakness into your power,
Pow'r to be at last all I'm able to be.
And if I stray, bring back the light of day,
For here am I, send me I pray.
Here am I, send me.
Here am I, Lord, send me.
Unto thee, willingly, yielded I come.
Show the path that I must walk,

Last Day
I'm finally finished with my first year here at La Sierra!
I'm in the middle of packing some of the last things in my room.
It's just so weird how this year turned out to be. But I'm glad about how much I've changed this year.
Again, something that I'm struggling with me right now is being strong. Blaaaaaaah.
Anyways, I'm just so glad to be finished here for awhile. But I still have school that starts on Monday! Ahhhh.

Promises.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6
For me, sometimes, it's hard to have faith that God has a plan for me. There are times that I want things to go MY way, even though it may not be the way God wants it to be. It's really hard for me to just "let go and let God," and just trust that everything will work out according to His plan. Right now, I'm struggling with letting go and just letting God work His plan out. I don't know what else I can say...

First Day of Finals
Today was my first day of finals. I had Chemistry at 8 A.M. and English at 11 A.M.
I was so worried for Chemistry! We had an ACS Chemistry Exam, which covered our WHOLE entire General Chemistry sequence! I was semi-freaking out because I did not study until last night! I didn't even study well! I just went over the ACS Study questions, but I didn't even look at the practice questions. I knew that passing was just going to be a miracle. I slept for three hours, and I woke up and wasn't that groggy but I was still kind of worried. The test was 70 questions and 110 minutes were alloted for the exam. I skipped nineteen questions at first and guessed on a bunch of them. When we were done, I was so sure that it was very probable that I did not pass. Well, during my English final, Angela left me a voicemail telling me that our Chem grade was up. Right after, I went to my room to check on it, and by the grace of God..
I PASSED!
I passed the class as well with a B! I barely made a B, but seriously, with God's wisdom...I did!
I feel so blessed right now! I did not deserve the grade that I received and I thank the Lord for the wisdom that He gave me during that test and for softening our teachers' hearts to curve our grade because FOR SURE, I did not get the grade that was posted up.
I'm just so happy right and now and so THANKFUL! God continues to bestow blessings upon me, even when I for sure don't deserve them. He is truly AMAZING =]

Procrastination
...has taken hold of me. I am a slave to it and submit to it without complaint. *sigh* One day, I will rebel...
Anyways, GAA graduated yesterday! I was screaming so much and my mom kept telling me to be quiet. Next year, I'm not sitting next to her. But still, it was fun. I was so proud of Janay and her Presidential Speech! It was a good one. She kept repeating a phrase (I know there is a term for it but I forgot. Luckily, we don't have to know it this quarter for English) and it made the speech stronger. A lot of them cried. It's weird, because none of my class cried last year...
Exactly a year ago, my class graduated from GAA. I remember how we felt so empty without GAA, but it's interesting to see how a year later, we sooooo do not feel the same way.
Welllllll, I guess it's time for me to attempt to finish my research paper. I'm planning to finish it by one, so I can study for Chemistry the rest of the time. Blaaaaaaaaah.

Ostracized
I just deleted my MySpace.
I had always said that I would delete it if one of two things happens:
1. Salt atlas becomes available to the general public, or
2. I was hacked
The second one happened to me today. Nikki and I were MySpacing on our separate laptops and while we were talking and doing that, she asks me, "What's up with your headline?" I go to check and sure enough, there was a bunch of rubbish on it. I tried removing it by editing my profile, but while I was viewing my profile, I tried scrolling down and it sent me back to the log-in page! I knew then for sure I was hacked. So, I called up Mike and had him on the phone during my deletion process. Melissa also came in and Nikki informed Peter of what was happening through the phone as well as I performed the final steps in terminating my MySpace. We have a few pictures of this event because I handed my camera (Marty) to Melissa to capture this moment.
Bahahaha. Sounds so traumatic, right? Well...we'll see how I am during the next few days.
MySpace free am I.
Dead Week
Today is the beginning of dead week. There is no doubt about it: I'm going to die this week.
Not only am I still trying to get over my cold or whatever contractible and contagious virus I have, everything that can be possibly due is due and any test or final that could possibly happen, is happening.
Monday: Interpersonal Communications Project Presentation 10 A.M.
Tuesday: Biology Lab Practical 3 P.M. (after: cooking three vegan cheesecakes)
Wednesday: English Research Presentation 11 A.M. (cheesecakes due)
Thursday: Interpersonal Communications Impromptu Speech 10 A.M. & Chemistry Lab Final 3 P.M.
Friday: Chemistry Test 9 A.M. & English Research Paper and Source Notebook due 11 A.M.
That may seem like not a lot to the average reader, but trust me, for a person who has procrastinated all quarter and is sick...it's a lot. Yes, those two things may be my fault because yes, I chose to have bad time management and I chose to not take care of myself but you know what? It's not like I can change that now!
The best thing I have heard all day is that I have thirty-four meals left and I have thirty-three dollars and something cents left on my flex money. Can you say BREAKFAST?! ...excited..
ANYWAYS. Enough with my complaining, tee hee. It's hard to believe that this school year is almost finished. Just two more weeks and I'm done with my first year of college at La Sierra!
Something that I just started to think about is that I never thought I would be the person I am right now in the beginning of the school year. I started off this school year as Pre-Med, a meat-eater, a huge TV watcher, a chocolate lover, and lived my life just for myself. Now I am Pre-Nursing, a vegetarian, I don't watch the TV shows that I loved before anymore, I try to abstain from chocolate (it's been working: the only time I ate chocolate was for Melissa's birthday) and trying my best and hardest to live my life for the Lord. If someone had told me back in September, "You know what? By the end of the year, you're not going to like chocolate or meat, you're going to stop watching Grey's Anatomy, Friends, Gilmore Girls, and Will and Grace, you're going to love going to Bible studies twice a week, and you're going to be a Nurse" I would have been so skeptical. But that is who I am today and it's just so amazing to see how much God has worked through my life this past year.
Okay, well those are some thoughts that I just wanted to let out. Now it's time for me to start writing my research paper and practicing for my presentation. Joy.
