the night before.

So...it's two in the morning and I'm still in Loma Linda. We're leaving for the Philippines in about twenty hours. It still hasn't hit me that we're leaving.

Right now, I'm at Mike's house with JR, Luis, Justin, Tina, Mike, and Kurt. I'm so sleepy! I haven't packed yet and stuff like that and I really want to be in my bed!

I'm gonna miss everything but I pray that this trip truly changes my life and brings me closer to God.

Please keep us in your prayers.

congratulations tracy

we love you!

competition

This is why I shouldn't watch competitive TV, such as the Game 6: Celtics vs. Lakers

I am surprisingly really bummed.

Competition is also the reason I've decided not to play competitive volleyball anymore--it just doesn't bring out the best in people, and especially does not reveal the character of Christ.

Haha...I can't say anymore. I feel so down. LOL, lame right?

and so it begins

...my constant and obsessive checking of my grades.

This is a habit I have formed since...I guess, last year? After the quarter is over, I constantly check my transcript almost every hour until all the grades are up.

Note to Dr. Dean and Dr. Kim:
it would be soooo awesome if my B+ was bumped up to A-.
My face would go from this: =) to this: =D !

And thanks Dr. Martin for posting up the grades quickly for Patient/Physician Comm. And thanks for the grade too =]

Now Guru, you said the grades would be up by 12 P.M. Monday. It is 11:48. I'm going to be waiting.

Haha. I need help.

last week.

It's my last week here at LSU! (for now, I guess, you never know what will happen..)

I'm so happy! Praise the Lord for His many blessings! I just finished my first final, from one of my hardest classes, Basic Med. Microbiology. I'm hoping for an A-! Yeah, that's not that great, it's not an A (bummer, I know), but it's much better than my grades that I've been getting in that class.

Today has started out as a great day. I woke up at 3:30 (crazy early!) and had my devotion. I didn't rush through this one or just read a chapter from the Bible like I usually do when I'm anxious and in a rush, but I took my time and read the passage from the Bible that corresponded with the chapter of Desire of Ages. What a blessing!

And then I just looked over my notes, got to eat breakfast, prepared my things and left for school at 6 A.M. (I was at home in Glendale for the weekend) It's a beautiful day and I'm just so happy! =]

Also, I just got to pay my tuition and no late fee has been charged (at least that's what the cashier said)! PTL! =]

Hopefully the rest of the week will be just as beautiful!
