Things to be thankful for

1. Despite all the awkward gaps between all my classes, it forces me to take lots of time to read and be in solitude (yeah!). I hope it'll be good for me this semester...

2. I picked up The Last Lecture yesterday at the bookstore. My mom was reading it during winter break so I immediately called her to let her know I'm reading it too, it's interesting...reading alongside my mother. It's the last work of a 43-year-old computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. He wants to leave his young children a remnant to remember him by, so they would grow up knowing what kind of person their father was. Ask me in person for any more details...or just read it yourself!

3. Started learning hula. So difficult, my hips don't move the way they're supposed to :( But "Amazed" by Lincoln Brewster has been on my mind all day, Lord I'm amazed by You...

4. I began to complain a bit because this semester I'm taking a bunch of non-major related courses. But in the process I realized, I'm just thankful for being here. I am being taught by brilliant professors and being challenged on an academic and spiritual level. Thank You, for placing me just where I am, where I need to be.

5. That Hyunsoo offered to pick me up so I didn't have to take the bus after a really really long day. Even in the smallest ways, God is such an awesome provider.

6. That I got to hang out with Grace after our Korean class ended early, yay we got the very last 2 bagels in line and lots of just good talking time. She even walked me to work! :)
