as of right now, i am currently listening to esther's beautiful flute playing. she's playing mulan! and actually, this has totally made my day.

speaking of my day...

it was quite interesting. the reason why i'm updating so soon is because i want to record this day somehow. so to describe my chemistry class in 1 word, obnoxious. thats because we have vlad and adam in our class who both really enjoying arguing with eachother and the teacher. and then we have sarah who's really talkative. and we just have a lot of talkative people in our class. and then yesterday (because this is necessary to explain what happened today) we were doing a lab and it involved beakers. and so they ran out of beakers and so i asked the teacher for a beaker and she handed me one, but she let go too soon, like i wasn't holding on to it, and it fell to the ground and shattered. then literally- 10 seconds later, tien broke a beaker by pressing down on it on a tablet (cause we had to crush a tablet for a lab) and that shattered. and then she started getting angry. then not even a minute later, a THIRD beaker broke because someone was washing it under the water and i guess the water pressure was really high. so she was really angry after that. and today, we come in and we have new seats -- all boy girl boy girl. and then there's an frickin essay on our desk written by her of complaints she has of our class. like how we talk incessantly and the lab yesterday and how we're not careful and how we broke all her equipment. and then it went on saying how we're never gonna do labs again until we can behave ourselves (which is basically never haha). actually, i dont mind so much because hands on things aren't really for me. i'd rather just see her do it so i dont have to get up and move around. and then we also got new lab partners. christian is my new lab partner. i mean, he's really nice and all but he is so intimidating. if you guys have read avalon high by meg cabot, he'd be will. so i'm kinda hoping we dont do a lab haha. and basically the whole class she was talking about activities that we would have done if our class wasnt so bad. and you know, the funniest thing about this was that this story spread through the whole sophomore class within a few hours. and so did the letter pretty much. and she basically just kept saying how she's not here to be our friend blah blah blah and oh, my favorite "and if you breathe the wrong way, you have detention." yeah, she said that. i dont know. i dont mind it so much but what makes me really angry is that she should have said something at the end like "i know its not all of you being obnoxious so i'm sorry" because its not all of us! so its just really unfair. but whatever :)

letsee. oh yes, today i failed two things. a program in java (59) cause my freaking calculating average program went awry. and when i tried to stay after school to fix it, i fixed the code and it ran perfectly when sophia was testing it for me but then i think i did something when i saved it cause after i saved it and mrs trehan went to run it, it went all bad again and it kept printing out the average when i didn't tell it to (because i printed out average earlier). it was just so bad. (hahaha you probably have no idea what i'm talking about)

second thing i failed was an algebra quiz on exponents. i hate exponents. but i still have an 86 in that class so i'm doing okay so far. :)

yep. life is good.

helloooo!! so basically, i'm supposed to be watching arthur right now. i know, i'm a total loser and i really need to get rid of this arthur infatuation. it's like everday i come home and go on the computer or watch murder she wrote with my mom and then at 4, i always get off the computer and watch arthur. and then, when arthur is over, i do my homework and study and usually i finish before 6.

so today, channel 11 is being lame so i decided to update my xanga instead. anyway, i guess i'll start off with lyf retreat! it was actually a really good experience. much better than i thought. i guess lately i've been a little... negative towards lyf. but lyf retreat was really good and kinda changed what i thought about it. i looveedd my small group (haha tutupoo, sheekata, woomsheewa, hakachee and um i forget karen's name) even though they were extremely ADD at times.. but thats okay :). the speaker was alright. i mean, i really liked his message just the way he presented it wasn't exactly thrilling? but who am i to say. he was a nice guy and i feel sorta bad cause there's this huge culture rift. you know? the games were interesting... i think we would have been better off playing capture the flag or dodgeball or something. i mean, its not like you have to do the real capture the flag. you could add some twists to it! thats how you get games like gold rush or something. and same with dodgeball! do you know how many different versions there are of dodgeball? anyway, overall it was really good. i'm glad i was a peer leader but i didn't feel like i did much since my group was already really close. i guess it made the job easier? i'm not sure. the skits were funny. my group and pat's group wanted to rebel and fight the system so we sorta combined haha. and i totally thought we could make a poem too but i guess not. its okaky though. ours came out pretty good. too bad there aren't too many avid arthur watchers cause if there were, everyone would get it. if you didn't understand it, WATCH MORE ARTHUR. my favorite though would have to be christine cho's group. but her group always has the best skits. yep. overall lyf retreat was really good.

this weekend i watched 'because i said so' with mandy moore... yeah, it sucked. it was not good at all. the mom reallllly annoyed me. i'm so glad my mom is not like her. and i worked on a history project with ouda which was interesting. we came up with a few ideas only to find out we couldn't do it today. but that's alright. its a good thing we didn't get too far. and then church yesterday. that was okay. sunday school was miserable. sometimes i think i ask for it, but seriously. boys are stupid. throw rocks at them. they took my shoes yesterday and i had no idea where they were so to get them back i had be like "do you know where those shoes have been?" and they were all like eww so then i got them back. obviously those shoes have been no where. i never wear them. mmm then the hums came over and i feel really bad when people come over my house cause the only things to do are: watch tv, go on the computer, or play video games. there is NOTHING exciting about where i live.

mm OH so i got a job! i work at ginger tree, which is a chinese takeout restaurant. why does everyone laugh when i tell them? i mean, i know why dave sumaya laughs. its cause he thinks i'm a silly asian and i'm working at a silly asian restaurant.. but then others laugh because they're like "i can't imagine you working in such an unhappy place..." i mean, its not THAT unhappy... it only is when that mean woman is working. but the manager's wife is sooo nice. and so is the manager! haha he tried to speak cantonese with me.. it was really bad i didnt understand him at all. the food is good. well actually, iv'e only tried the general tso's chicken and egg drop soup haha. the hours aren't so bad. i only work from 5-8 or 5-7:30 3 days a week.

letsee. school is alright. my favorite class right now is gym cause i'm doing archery. all we do is like sit there when we're not shooting so i have to do homework. and i hang out with cool people. haha actually they're really weird. but i hang out with this senior named mike, and a junior named eric. i knew mike from last year in gym so it wasn't just random. he's really cool except he's a creeep. he's working at witches woods and his makeup is soo creeepy!! and eric, wow i admire that kid so much. he's training to join the army and he's not one of those people that are doing just because they want a scholarship or something, no, he really wants to fight in iraq. not too many people are willing to do that. i think it's really cool but at the same time i'm scared for him. he's gonna finish his senior year and then go to iraq the summer right after. yeah. i also like gym cause we have pretty intense conversations that get heated. but only when ally's there though. but i still love her. yep. i love gym class.

okay well i better go do my homeworkkk. haha wow i'm pretty bad at making short entries. btw, does anyone know any good books to read? preferably historical fiction (about girls in the 1800s) or historical fiction/fantasy, or romantic comedy. thanks!

// edit

hahahaha ok so i've been procrastinating for like the past few hours by looking back on my old entries. this xanga is more than 3 years old!! and so i didn't delete ANY of my old entries. i was just looking back on them and man, i was such a dork. why didn't anyone tell me how dorky i was?!?!? what a loser! i updated like every day! wow i had like no life back then. but it was exciting to just reminisce about the "good ol' days" (or not so good...) but you know what i mean jellybean. haha ok i really need to get started on homework. i have an algebra quiz tomorrow on exponents and i hate them.

hi so life has been alright. i really wish it was summer though. and i hate this weather. i'm so ready for the cold. all this global warming is freaking me out... a lot. i mean, sometimes i wish i lived earlier just so i won't always be afraid that the world is ending or something. but then again i wonder, did they face these kinds of problems back then? like when the broke the sound barrier they thought they were going to all die. that must have been wicked scary. it's too bad we can't exactly think "oh, maybe this whole global warming thing isn't such a big deal" like the sound barrier thing because this global warming thing kind of is... i mean, if all the ice melts the world is going to be flooded which is just a scary thought. all those inuit, alaskan people up north will have to find a new way to live and the polar bears will have to find a new way to survive. our whole ecosystem will be messed up!!! this is such a scary thought. and then i think in general, this world is getting worse and worse. i mean, the human population is going up which means that there are going to be less and less resources and all the well-off people (such as me and the community i live in) are becoming more and more spoiled and the third world countries peoples are all becoming poorer and poorer! and also inflation and how everything is becoming more and more expensive. but i guess this is just a taste of what it must have been like during the bubonic plague in england. it must have been really scary seeing people just die like that. and even scarier cause they had no idea what was going on! they had no idea of how it spread. they thought it was cause of all the sin and playhouses (cause that's when playhouses started becoming famous) and playhouses were bad. think of the plays as R rated movies. so ultra catholics (which weren't even allowed in england at the time because elizabeth was ruling so the country was protestant) believed that it was because of the plague so when the plague happened, the shut down the theater. but the plague still spread cause everyone was required to go to church. gosh i hope a plague like that doesn't happen in america. speaking of churches, can you imagine if everyone was required to be one religion? i mean that does happen today but like if everyone was required to the catholic and if you didn't show up to church you would be fined... that would stink. what if you get a life threatening illness? would you still have to go to church? what if you spread it to others? like the plague!! you know, the plague really interests me. i mean its freaky how it spread but in a way, it was really good for england. i mean, it killed off everyone (hahahaha sorry didn't mean for that to sound so morbid) but then it allowed for people to make money. like if you're an artist, and someone needed art, all the good artists died and youre the only artist left so of course they'll go to you and people will be in a way fighting for you and offering you more money so you'll make more money! and what's cool is that this led to the renaissance in some way! the renaissance was truly an interesting time. i really liked looking at renaissance art. i mean, artists really put in a lot of time into what they were gonna paint. for example, a dog in the corner of the painting could stand for loyalty or something. i wonder if artists do that today. maybe an apple stands for something like... smartness. cause you know how you give teachers apples? speaking of giving teachers apples, hahaha my chem class is totally ridiculous and sneaks in apples and various fruits when our teacher isn't there and our teacher has no idea who is doing it. now she has this fruit tally on the board. so far she's gotten 10 apples, 2 oranges, 2 pears, an asian pear, a lime, a lemon and a cactus pear. what the heck is a cactus pear? i'd like to know. apparently theyre popular in california... wow i haven't been to california in like what, 3 years? i don't know if i really want to go back. it'll be so weird! i haven't seen my relatives since i was like 12. i used to be really skinny back then. hahhhhh wow. ok so that was a really long rant about nothing at all. ok well i better goo ummm clean my garage (haha jk. they use that excuse all the time in arthur!) haha ok bye.

hmm so i should probably be doing my homework right now seeing that there's a syatp rally tonight (that i'm pretty sure NONE of the other lyfers are going to but i'm going anyway). anyway, today was a bad day but i won't rant on forever about it. things have been alright. letsee, a new "hobby" that i seemed to have picked up was reading. okay, so i guess its not new. i just found more time for it since i'm not doing much outside of school and lyf anymore. i read A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. it's basically about this girl in the 1890s and her mother commits suicide so she moves to england. she finds out she has these special powers and like visions and stuff. it was realllly good. soo good that i started reading the second one! which is Rebel Angels. it's not starting off as good as the first one but hopefully i'll get into it. hmm oh yes, i've also started crocheting. i am currently crocheting a scarf for caddy's birthday. i know he told me he doesn't need a scarf, but its the only thing i can crochet. id say that its coming along very nicely : ). i have also developed an obsession with arthur. actually, the obsession has always been there but now i like to watch it practically every day. it's kinda sad actually but when you have no life and no good channels, arthur is pretty much the only good show on tv in the afternoon. oh yes and i have also been obsessed with finding a job. i always feel bad for getting allowance from my parents. i mean, i get allowance for things i do around the house like clean, laundry, dishes etc but the thing is, i feel like those are my duties. they're things i shouldn't be rewarded for. so now i want to make money for real. definitely not working at kumon. i know that for sure. my friends and i looked up some jobs online and most places hire 16+ year olds and i'm not 16 yet. (4 more months!!) i know that CVS hires 15 and a half year olds so i might wanna work there. it would just be weird since my friend used to work there... anyway, just a nice quick update on my life. i should get to work now. later gators.

um wow so i've been sitting at this computer for a few minutes. i was on facebook (yes, facebook- i'm an addict i admit) and i went to our "aftershock 007" group and we have a discussion board for prayer requests and man, everyone wrote some pretty deep stuff. and then our leader of aftershock, he wrote on the discussion board telling us how encouraged he was and everything and then it just hit me hard. like ever since aftershock, i haven't felt like i missed it hard enough to cry. but after reading that, man, i just started crying so hard. i guess it's an accumulation of everything. i mean, i miss everyone sooo much and it's saddens me that we need to share our burdens over a freaking website instead of face to face. every little thing i see reminds me of my experience there and it really hurts how i can't share it with anyone. like trying to play camp games at cantonese retreat was like a huuuge smack in the face. like it was a realization that, you know, this isn't camp anymore. this is life. and it sucks big time. i've finally come to the realization that i can't always be in the spofford bubble where everyone is nice (well mostly everyone) and loves eachother and God and that makes me so frickin emo! i guess another reason for like crying would just be that idk, i guess i feel sooo out of the loop now. i feel like i dont belong in lyf anymore and you know what, I DONT FREAKING CARE ANYMORE! it's amazing actually. i dont care that i dont have any close friends at church. i don't care if there's no one i can really talk to. and even though i don't have to pretend i'm okay when i'm not, well i guess i have no choice now cause there's really no one i can talk to and i just don't care anymore. and no, i really am not apathetic towards everything back at home. i actually really learned to appreciate my school friends now. i mean, yes, some can be extremely and annoyingly shallow, but i've gotten to know my school friends so much better and they're awesome even if i can't share really personal stuff with them. but once again, i don't care anymore. why don't i care? cause i know i have somewhere to go now that hasn't let me down yet and that's camp and all my fellow aftershockers. looking at it from another perspective, i think our distance brings us closer together in another way. it makes us realize how close we've become and how much we need eachother. and i guess i should mention God too. i mean, he really blessed me with the amazing people i've met this summer so i should probably thank Him. anyway, another reason for crying is just cause i have to keep everything bottled up. i mean, every time i mention camp, i feel really bad cause it just seems like no one cares. and yeah, i know it can get annoying so i guess i'll try to stop. just don't ask if i'm ok if i have some sort of an emo phase or else you WILL hear the whole thing about me missing camp. and about lyf retreat. um, i'm hoping that my counselor (or used to be counselor) will arrange a reunion that same weekend so i can go to new jersey instead. well, i should go do homework now so i don't have to do it sunday night.

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 01:50:09 GMT

yeah so i'm back from camp now! and wow, that was the best summer ever. i guess i'll explain to those who don't know about the program i did. the program i did is called aftershock. it consisted of twenty 15 year olds, 4 college aged counselors, 2 program directors, 1 week as a camper, 1 week climbing mountains, canoeing, sixflags, 1 week as training, and 3 (well for me 2) weeks actually on staff.

first, i guess i'll talk about the other 19 aftershockers. i love them all so much! through teen week 2 and the second week and 3rd, we bonded so much. i came to camp barely knowing some people, barely recognizing others, and never even heard of them to a family. all 20 of us became family. the fellowship was better than lyf ever has been (sorry i just felt like i had to compare it to something so you can get some idea). for girls, i already knew 8 out of 10 of them but i never became this close. amber was the person i knew the least but by the end, she was one of the closest friends i have. she's so quirky and has a great singing voice. she's so nice and caring and hilarious. and she was my bunkie for the first 3 weeks. then erika! you can always trust erika to be honest with you. she's also wicked nice and hilarious. amanda smith is a wild girl. but she really helped me get out of my comfort zone. because of her, i did so many things (not bad things- don't get the wrong idea) that i normally would not do such as sleeping outside (haha wouldn't even have thought of that). then ally! ally was probably the one i knew best before aftershock. i knew her for the past 3 years but never this well. she is such an honest person and she is what keeps our cabin in line. she's so resposible and sensitive to other's feelings. haha then katie tuttle! i absolutely love katie tuttle. i guess i barely knew her so i sorta just stereotyped her to be this wicked competitive basketball player but it turns out she's just this really silly girl who is really good at having fun. i loved being around her because she always made me happy even when i was being such an emo. then julie! i remember loving julie last year a lot and this year i loved her more! she definitely changed since last year. this year she cares a lot less about how she looks and what others think of her. she's so silly and just plain awesome. katrina- i just barely recognized her. she is probably the sweetest girl ever and she's so athletic but not cocky. she's so kind and really funny and there's no way you can be mad at her. kirsten is probably the life of our cabin. she wins 1st place for the best movie quoter. i love her quirkiness and all the sillyness she adds. and lastly, theresa! even though everyone wasn't exactly happy with theresa, i was so glad she was a part of aftershock. i could really see God working through her because she really changed a lot. then for the guys. i guess i'll start with connor! connor's so funny and he's an amazing fake crier. he's so awesome and knows when to be seriousu. then dave. hahaha what a sadist. i guess he can also be really caring too. matt kinda scared me a bit. he was sorta a bully. then sean! omg sean was so nice. i loved his sense of sarcasm. jimmy was a freak and i don't miss him. josh wasn't so bad! i dont understand why others could not stand him. even though he does come off kinda bossy and mean sometimes, he really does have a good heart and he always puts so much effort into everything he does. mike was really funny. he is such a theater kid. he's really friendly and outgoing even though i thought he was such a grump when i first met him. andrew wells/caddy. i guess he comes off as realllllly intimidating at first. i used to be so scared of him but then i got to know him and he is really cool. wes i didn't get to know as well. mainly because he is also quite intimidating. but he does seem like a nice guy. and stephen i thought would be kinda annoying at first but he's actually really nice and pretty cool. i love his accent! haha (jewysey!) hilary was really cool. she always kept our cabin in order and made sure we were doing the right thing. adam i didnt get to know that well but he's just like hilary. annaruth is so awesome! she's so amazing and she acts like she's our age/younger and she can relate to us so well. she was such an awesome small group leader too! and ross is hilarious. he is so wild and really cool even though he can be a bit creepy. nick was a bit disorganized but overall he did a wonderful job leading aftershock. his lessons were great even though it was hard to participate. there were other people i met along the way during aftershock and they were all really awesome too! God really blessed me this year through all the friends i made.

physically, aftershock was very hard. teen week drained us of a lot of energy already with all the games and whatnot. then the second week we climbed mountains and canoed and it was so tiring but it was so worth it because we bonded so much through it. i feel so fit now! occasionally i would go swimming too. ya know :) mentally... um idk how to describe it mentally. spiritually, it was a bit disappointing since i didnt feel like i grew closer to God. however, i did learn a lot ABOUT God and my relationship with him. for example, it's not about where you are, it's where you WANT to be. also, i think i began to understand what it really means to repent and what it means for God to truly forgive you. i always tend to forget that God completely erases your sins. it's gone. it's like "God remember when i did this?" and he'll say "no, i don't recall that ever happening". he really forgets it and sometimes we have to as well. there were also other lessons that i learned. i could look back at my devo papers and tell you about every sinlgle one but the devo papers are upstairs and i'm too lazy. coming home, i know something has changed in me. i just can't put my finger on it.

i dont exactly have a favorite week for aftershock. however, my favorite aspect was definitely getting to know other people. the first week was great and kinda sad since it was my last week ever as a camper. it was my last time playing those games like polish baseball, slaughter (hahaha we put the laughter in slaughter), TUBACIDE<3, capture the flag, gaga etc. the speaker was alright. he basically just summarized the bible. it wasn't really compelling or convicting. it was just a summary which was thoroughly disappointing. second week was really fun even though it really tested my endurance. canoeing 12 miles wasn't too bad. andrew wells/caddy was my partner and he really intimidated me at the time so i did whatever he told me to do. then climbing mountain #1 (little hay stack) was really difficult. apprently it went from easy, moderate, to expert. it took us forever to get up there. however, the view was really pretty and it was really cold. climbing that mountain was totally worth it. then wednesday was beginning the creek. i'd say the first day was hard work since we had to move all the rocks and we didn't have our work cut out for us or anything. and then thursday was mountain #2 (manadnock) which wasn't so bad. it was definitely easier than mountain #1. then friday was six flags! this was when i really went out of my comfort zone! kinda. i still didn't go on scream and i dont' ever intend to. however, i did go on the superman and i had my hands up the whole time!! that is something i wouldn't do if i was with anyone else besides fellow aftershockers. i'm so glad i did because the ride was so much more fun. i also went on other rides like the flashback, the catapult, the funnel thing in the water park, the blizzard thing, cyclone and so on. that day was awesome since there were like no lines. it was awesome. and then the third week was basically training and creek. we finished the creek and the creek days were a lot easier because we basically had our work cut out for us. the creek looks so pretty now! the job i had to train for was nursery. it was really easy. we just sat there and watched the other girls play with the kids. the kids were really cute. then the fourth week i actually started my job. it was fun the first day and kinda hard to get used to since i'm bad with babies but eventually (actually, really quickly) it got old. it was the same thing every single day. i had to do nursery for a week. and then connor had to get shot in the eye by j.r. and he couldn't do anything too strenuous so him and i switched jobs and i went on waitstaff. it took a few meals to get used to everything but eventually i got the hang of it. the hours were definitely worse and it was harder to hang out with other people but it wasn't so bad. i worked with jish a lot and katie and julie.

the saddest part was saying goodbye to everyone. it was hard to say goodbye to all the teen week 2 kids cause they were so cool. then it was hard to say goodbye to the sports week kids because they were also cool. and then the junior week 3 kids who were adorable (well some of them at least) and the counselors. it was definitely hardest to say goodbye to the counselors cause they were pretty much one of us aftershockers. and it was weird too cause usually you leave the counselors not the counselors leaving you. and then eventually, theresa left. and then kirsten. and then katie and julie. and then me. and believe me, i cried when i said goodbye. it was really sad and it was the hardest goodbye i ever had to say. not lying. and the hardest thing is sitting at home knowing that there are still people at camp and that dave matt and sean went back and i missed them by a 24 hours!! :( oh welll. hopefully i will get to see everyone at the staff reunion in december.

anyway, now i am trying to get situated back at home. it was especially hard since the same night that came home my parents decided to have a barbeque at my house with a bunch of canto kids that i was not ready to see. and then today i had to go to church. and then tomorrow i gotta go to school for field hockey tryouts! if i say anything irrational or mean, it's cause i'm grumpy and i miss camp. i hope to work there next year though. my plan is to work there next year either on dishpit or housekeeping and then skip a year (cause my mom wants me to get ready for college), work there again, and then work there again as a counselor. man i can't wait to see what the future will be like. dan syvertsen was like "it would be so cool to see you guys come back as counselors together or something" and i was like "man, that would be really cool!" anyway, i better go to bed. i have to run a mile tomorrow for field hockey :( wish me luuuck! if you read this whole entry, thanks for your time :) i mainly just wrote this so i can print it and put it in my own journal since its so much easier typing thi smuch than writing it all out.

hi guys! i'm at camp right now and i guess this has to be kinda quick. camp has been really good. first week was pretty cool. and sad at the same time since it was my last time as a camper... ever. i'm glad tak and victoria went to spofford because i would have felt a bit homesick without them. (ha-ha notice how i didn't say andrew/justin ;) JK) anyway, my parents came to visit me on saturday and i guess i was sorta cranky just cause i was homesick the most that day. but it was nice seeing them. esther had my parents bring me a basket of food (which i shared with my cabin and is practically all gone) there is also this kid named dave standing behind me and he is reading this and anyway this week has been interesting. OH i went go carting on sunday and that was my frist time ever!! it was so exciting. and then on monday we went on a 12 mile canoe trip which was funish. then yesterday we went on a hike and that was... miserable. i also met some really cool people here too. and reunited with some of them. my cabin is a huge mess but suprisingly i haven't freaked out too much about it. i lost my friend's mp3 and i feel awful. but i still am sorta looking for it. pray for rain tomorrow so i dont have to hike mt manadnoc. (sp?) i'm not exactly thrilled to be in the nursery (i'm sure most of you know that) but now i realy do feel like God has put me there for a reason so i'm not switching. the girls in my cabin are generally really cool. although my patience is really being tested but i guess this is what happens when you ask God to give you patience becuase you're like asking Him to test you. hopefully by the end of this i will be the most patient person ever (ha-ha ya right) the boys are cool although this kid named connor really enjoys pulling out my unicorn hair and when esther visits, man will she beat the crap out of him. oh yeah, he also reminds me of vinit. everyone here is also making silly asian jokes to me. for example: "silly asian, utensils are for caucasians". yeah i'm like the only chinese girl here so its still something to get used to since i am flooded with asians at home. idk if i like it actually. the silly asian jokes are sorta getting on my nerves. just a little but whtaever i can take it thanks to all that making fun of during sunday school. (haha thanks to justin and nathan and whoever made fun of me) letseeeeee what else to say. i hope God really does something great. it's what i've been expecting ALL YEAR and so far i haven't really felt anything. we have these staff chapels where the worship is amazing but i still don't feel God. it's sorta weird. maybe i'm not going to Him? i dunno. but if you could pray for me that would be great :). anyway, keep writing to me and i promise i will write back!! (even though the mail might be a little late) feel free to call me too except i wont always have my phone but if i do, i'll try to pick it up. i miss you guys!!!

yay i'm finally leaving on sunday! anyway, this week has been pretty good. on monday i went for a walk with tien and we just talked and chased an icecream truck. then we went to rapid refill and the bank. and then we went over nathan's and alex was there and we just chilled. then we went to al's but from al's they decided to go to someone's house that i didn't know so i just left. then i walked to kaitlin's house and she drove me home. then tuesday i did like nothing but at night i went to kimballs with amanda, asia, mike, alex, nathan, and vinit. that was basically just a waste of time. kinda wish i didn't go. hahaha but the funniest part was when we were waiting for these girls ahead of us (mini golfing) to finish, nathan (if you don't know him, well he's bald) he starts shouting "c'mon ladiessss hurry up!! i have cancer don't have forever to live!!" and hahahaha it was sooo funny. (he doesn't really have cancer btw). anyway then yesterday salina and dan came over and we played ps2 for a while (dan forced us to play sonic and i was really bad at it) and then we watched jaws which was a good movie. and then we went to prayer meeting. then todayyyyyyy i went to captain's practice and ah i had no friends there and the only girl that talked to me was an incoming freshman named alyssa. she was nice though. anyway, now i'm waiting around for esther and then people are coming over for a sleepover.

anyway, here's my address for camp. i'll be there from july 22 (sunday) til august 25 so write me! and if you wanna visit, make sure you tell me or else i'll get in trouble.

hellllloooo i'm playing tetris with avery fat dan and tim shu right now and it is a blast. kinda. i haven't won a game yet. haha i'm so bad at tetris.

anyway, this past week has been pretttyy good.on sunday, (last sunday) i went to spofford to drop off tak and brian. it was pretty awesome. i got to see chelsea, who is now working in the nursery, amanda smith, hilary, jess, ally, and robby! it was very exciting! that was basically the highlite of my week. and then monday i did absolutely nothing but moping. and then tuesday i went to fruit party! which was fun because we cut up fruit and ate it. and fat dan actually worked for once. i <3 lyf parties. then after fruit party i went to amanda's which was... interesting. i got soo pissed off at mike it wasn't even funny. and boys are stupid. throw rocks at them (haha jk... kinda). and then wednesday umm oh i went shopping with amanda for mike's present (at this point and time, i still did not like mike very much) but i got him a present anyway. and then after that was prayer meeting which was quite interesting. my group was fun. we talked about kid shows. then thursday i went out to lunch with amanda lavigueur (another amanda) and her friends (katie, steve, and JIE GU!!!) okay so my little story about jie, since amanda told me she was from hudson, i knew there weren't that many asian kids in new hampshire so i was like "um, i definitely need to meet this jie kid" and i was like "he is SOOO COOLLLL" and yeah it was all in my head. hahaha jie is cool but he's really slow and oblivious and DEPRIVED. but its okay. he's a fob to the max. and steven and katie are pretty cool. we saw harry potter 5 which was pretty good i thought. it was a bit confusing. it seemed kinda short. and then friday ummmm what did i do friday. oh yes, i went to lyf. (and i did something before that i just can't remember) lyf was pretty cool. ryan's lesson was good. it was a good theme for a conference or retreat or something. then saturday was the beach trip to crane beach!! there were lotssssss of green flies which were like wicked ugly and annoying. but i enjoyed going in the water even if it was freeezing cold. it was still fun. we started to dig dave sun's grave but then someone decided that terrence should go in it and try to get out without using his arms. then he got out in under 2 seconds. what a waste of a good hole. then afterwards i went home and ate dinner and showered and then walked to syndey's. her house is so cute. and then from sydney's i went to al's. it was reallly silly. basically the guys swam and we talked. and then they started playing with fireworks. it was pretty and all but totally ILLEGAL. and then i went home. then today i went to church and i helped out with bubble tea and then i went to spofford again and i saw kelsey, nicole, and other people. it was cool. the ride home was kinda excrutiating cause i was really hungry and it was awkward cause it was just me and andrew's parents. anyway, now i'm home and i have 1 more free week before i'm gone for the rest of summer. i'll post sometime friday or saturday with the camp address so you guys better write to me!! okay more tetris. later guys!

ps. happy 13th birthday takkkkkk my favorite little brother :)
