wow!

wow I can't believe that it's been 3 months since i've last posted! man university is hectic and time passes sooo fast.. i wonder why..... University students (or my program at least) has least school hours to attend than during high school. I hardly have assignments and I should have lots of time right? But time seems to slip away here and there and nothing productive was done! why oh why? But nonetheless, i'm getting lots of studying done... OHHH maybe it's all the reading that takes forever to finish! Maybe that's why time passes soo fast! Wow we are in our midterms.. and next month, guess what it's CHRISTMAS EXAMS!! youpdidoooooo! Fortunately i only have 3 exams!! hahah so i'll be in town starting from Dec. 20!! yeah i can't wait to just chill at home, catch up with friends and most important family and EAT HOMEMADE FOOD!!! (I miss my mommy's cooked food - steamed rice... ohhhh drooling........)

Well i'm finally at Western! I can't believe that High school went by so quickly! We are all adults now! wow! i'm still amazed at how much we've grown up! And catching up with elementary friends, wow everyone looks soo much more mature and much much more pretty/handsome! I miss those recess times where we just played innocently in the snow or the playground and played together!

Many many things had happened during my first 3 months at Western...

1. Frosh week (sleep deprived but it was all worth it) - School spirit at Western is amazing and the parties.. haha nothing else needs to be said

2. Residence life - I love my floor (International floor). Well we aren't that international... a little less than half of us are from Toronto... i guess culturally and racially, we are international! I love my single room (soo convenient), I love all the new friends i've made, I love my RA and my sophs!! and I can't forget my co-ed washroom.. and my male washroom buddy!! haha (Greta.. you will always be my female washroom buddy)

3. ACF - wow Western's Asian Christian Fellowship is huge (100-ish people) but many many brothers and sisters are on fire for God! The passion is overflowing with God's Spirit and it's amazing to see sooo many people genuinely praising God's name! Women's cell are the best! Slumber party every week, what more can I expect? haha But all the upper year ladies are very inspirational and definitely people I can look up to! I feel at home already in ACF! yeah!

4. Health - Coming to Western, i just got better from multiple cold and tiredness but man my body gave in during the first 1 month... i got more and more sick.. and ultimately, losing 10 lbs is pretty scary! I'm all better now! Praise the Lord but I need to continue stuffing myself with the not-so-pleasant rez food and work out!

5. Clubs - YEAH for clubs! I'm soo glad to join UWO's Dragonboat team!! haha i'm loving the dryland practices! Working out my abs, my lower and upper body, and endurance! I'm feeling the benefits of working out! and walking back and forth to class.. it's a short walk but when all adds up together, I'm burning fat and gaining muscles! haha i can't wait to see my toned muscles! BEWARE!! hehe Red Cross is also great! All the volunteering opportunities! I just need to make time for them and sooner or later, i'll be busier than before!

6. Independence - All the freedom I get once I come to university is mind-bloggling! Discipline must be learned in order to be productive, time management skills need to be improved many many times more in order to balance social, academic and spiritual life. Sleeping more is definitely on my schedule now (yeah for 8 hrs of sleep) YEAHHH!!

I miss home, I miss my high school and elementary friends, I miss my bedroom and my washroom, i miss everything in Toronto. But despite all, I love Western, I love res life, I love my floor, I love what I am studying and I love the people and the environment! I'm loving every moment here at Western! Thank you GOD!
