But I couldn’t really finish my thoughts.

First, I should mention how happy I was when I found out I passed stats and everything.  I felt sick walking out of stats and research designs…I blanked during the finals and didn’t know what I was doing at alll.  God was merciful.

So, for all of you who warned me not to overcommit…I guess I should’ve listened.  But I guess I can be pretty stubborn sometimes.  I was so excited about summer and doing “big things”.  Now I dread it all.  It’s in my nature to want to do a lot of stuff because I feel like I have to always be productive.  It’s too late to turn back now, so I just really need your support/encouragement.

Saturday I went to a high-school reunion:)  I really miss my brown gals…people might think it’s weird that I’m the only Chinese among my friends, but it never felt uncomfortable.  They all laughed at my brown-ness…I fit right in.  Now, when I look through my facebook pics, the people I’m with are all…yellow.  All my friends in the loo are Chinese!  Or something like that.  It actually makes me sort of sad.  (No offense, yellow friends – You know I love you=P).  But mm…I’m just concerned I’m closing myself in a bubble of yellow-ness.

Anywhoo, been reading a book on Sabbath day keeping by Lynne Baab.   I guess before reading the book, I felt taking a full-day of “rest” would be more of a burden than anything.   I thought about how I’d have to rearrange my schedule and work even harder the other days to make up for it.   But the Sabbath is make for refreshment, to recharge your batteries.  God gives us one day to just STOP and remember Him, His goodness.  And He knows we need it.  From the beginning of time, he knew.   There are some really good points that I’d like to share.   Do you think blogging is okay on the Sabbath?  hehe

Work.  So last week was my first week working at my new coop placement.  It’s going okay so far…the people are quite nice, I have my own space and a lot of the time I’m pretty much on my own.  I never worked in an “office” environment like this, where I have to “dress up” and such.  In any case, I’m excited because it’s a health job and I get to “make a difference”..hopefully.  What sorta bites is how I have to wake up early and sleep early and there’s barely any time to do anything useful.

Today I learned to use the “mail merge” function to make labels.  Awesomeness.
