March 19th, 2010

(sparknotes version at end)

My God is so big
So strong and so mighty
There's nothing He cannot do, for you! (x2)
The mountains are His
The rivers are His
And the stars are His handiwork too!

March 19th, 2010 was such an amazing, epic, legendary day! God just kept pouring down the blessings! The past week was supposed to be my 緊張 week because i had to 1) register for summer class at pima 2) find out whether i got the worship apprentice position 3) find out whether i get to move into school apts...registering for pima wasn't too big a of a deal, but praise God i got all the classes i wanted. worship apprentice was a nerve-racking because when i applied i was confident, but after my interview, i was less confident...haha. for the apts, sophomores aren't allowed to live there, but it saves $5k per academic year so yixuan and i went appeal like a month ago and never got a response. i've been awaiting replies for both WA and apts all week...so yesterday was the final day.

when i woke up yesterday, the first thing i did was check my email on my ipod touch...there was nothing. i went to get ready for class, checked my email again right before leaving for class...annnndddd! email from matt cooke, the guy in charge of the apts telling me i got in!!! PRAISE JEEBUS! so that just uplifted my day! then i went to my only class of the day, cause 2 classes got canceled, so my spring break began at 950am! so i joyously went back to my dorm to write my paper that was due at 5pm, but then i saw an email titled "worship apprentice" i was so scared of opening it, but when i opened it, it just said "we've sent out letters telling those who got in and those who did not, you will receive them this afternoon" i could barely focus writing my paper...i finished my paper at 4, went down and got my mail...saw the letter, VERY slowly opened the letter...and when i started reading it, i was like "omg, it's a rejection letter..." cause it said "Dear Jocelyn, we're really glad you applied for the WA position and we were happy to have met you through the interview" BUT at the end of the first paragraph it said, "we hope you would accept this invitation for you to be a worship apprentice" I WAS SOOOO happy!!! PRAISE ALMIGHTY (not winston...)!!! then church was fun, i led games for the first time! =D then afterwards the yaf kids were getting ready to go on their spring break trip so we hung out with them at carson's and yixuan and i played rock band for a long time! then took jessie to meijer's, went back to dorm, packed, took a nap at 430am, woke up at 6am, met up with yaf kids to get apt keys from enoch and carson (their apts will be our hang out places during spring break...) and sent them off...took another nap at 7am, woke up at 850am, moved stuff to apts...then the rest of today might be in another blog post some other day...

in case you didn't wanna read anything i wrote, here's sparknotes:
1. March 19th was so full of blessings, SUPER thankful!
a. spring break started at 950: only one class in the morning, 2 afternoon classes got canceled
b. got into the apts for next year (only juniors and seniors allowed): saves $5k per year
c. made it into the worship apprentice program: will be in charge of chapels and worship! (with pay too!)
d. played rockband with yixuan for like 2hrs...

p.s. the reason the children's song is in the beginning of this post is cause when i found out each blessing, that song kept coming up in my head...hahaha =D

Finally

I can FINALLY blog...these two weeks have been hectic...then i have an easier week, then it's spring break! haha, but spring break's not gonna be exciting either...yixuan and i are staying on campus...oh well, because APRIL 17th!!! SO EXCITED! IT'S GONNA BE SO MUCH! FUN! =D road trip with yixuan and chan min + meeting up with mark, bwen, guh, shing, victor, and chicagoans (maybe?) + HILLSONG CONCERT = LEGEND...

so i had two tests last week and two tests this week...my brain is getting fried...there's SO much to memorize, i've always taken pride in my capability to memorize a lot of things in a short amount of time, but mannnnn...i'm getting old...hahaha, just kidding...but i still can't do it as easily anymore! WAIT FOR IT i'm just glad all my midterms are over...i can let my brain chill out for a bit...but i've got 2 papers next week...aw, man...T.T

on a random note, yixuan and i didn't see each other all day yesterday, so when we finally got to talk at like 12am, we talked like we haven't seen each other in weeks...hahaha we're...awesome, hahaha...oh yeah! my mommy's care package arrived yesterday! i have enough food to feed haiti...haha seriously, i have food everywhere in my room...DARY it's crazy, but it's ok, cause i've gotta cook for the whole week of spring break and i've gotta treat koreans some random night...so i won't eat it all @.@
