i'm tired, so let's summarize.

1) thanks all who remembered me in their card-writing and present-giving this past year.

2) thanks all who willingly spent time with me, i'm a high-maintenance person that way, i'm sure you all know.

3) christmas was fast, but i managed to spend more time with God and i think that's preferable to shopping. ",)

4) i shall call the christmas of 2003 the "earring year" because i got 7 pairs of earrings. not complaining though.

5) had jazz vocal workshops on monday and tuesday with ja. very fun, forgot how much i miss singing training...

6) parent-youth gathering was amazing... didn't really plan much but the thoughts poured from the brain into the mouth. thanks to all the parents who listened attentively and gave so much support!

7) the last day of 2003 was well spent in my opinion. had post-mission trip gathering, thanksgiving service and time of reflection at jubilee. risk in wee hours of morning at jov's. may we stay accountable to each other and stick together, because the going gets tough as the mileage grows higher.

8) next semester i'm taking south asian culture and history, reading film texts, french 101, a geography changing landscapes module and lastly theatre: stage and screen. school starts late and ends late, like at eight. pray for good time management and sticking to my resolution to study more consistently.

9) my free days are on wednesdays. feel free to ask me out, but i've taekwondo at night.

10) i'm a girl. don't forget that. =) and stop calling me dude or man or whatever. i need TLC *you know what i'm talking 'bout*

11) time to grow up. sigh. change is inevitable, but we can always hold fast to what we know to be the truth.
