"something else funny?" "people, man, people."



this was such a good movie. racism, ignorance, and irony...another accurate portrayal of the need for Christ. a student in my afro-american psychology class recommended it to everyone in the class. now i recommend it to you.

i was looking at apartments in cypress today and i was SO discouraged! it never occurred to me just how nice of a city irvine was. i am spoiled up the butt over here. right now, i'm crossing fingers for buena park. i can see myself smiling in buena park, but not in cypress. *sigh* cypress, man (shaking head).

i signed up for an extra credit psych experiment called Food & Personality. basically, i have to go in three times and fill out surveys on food preferences and memories. well, today was my last session that i had to go to but they told me it was going to take 1.5 hours. however, they promised to provide some sandwiches as snacks for the participants. i purposely didn't eat lunch so i wouldn't have to make anything or do any of the dishes. i got there at 1:50 and finished my survey in 10 min...

experienter: well, you finished the last part of the experiment. i have some good news for you and some bad news for you. the bad news is that there are no sandwiches for you. when you told us your preferences, that was actually part of the experiment. the good news is that you're getting 1.5 hour credit for doing 10 min. of work.

i was really disappointed by the bad news.

since i was already on campus, i decided to get all of my reading and math homework done. i learned a very valuable lesson today: i can't study on an empty stomach. it took me 45 min. to read 6 pages. it's incredible how i can't focus when i have no food in my system. i came home, did all the dishes, cooked up some food, and haven't studied since...all thanks to that sham experiment.

i am coughing so hard right now that my head hurts. i was coughing uncontrollably in my math class today. it was like one of those ongoing machine gun coughs where i look like i'm suffocating. good thing i was sitting in the way front where everyone can see me. talk about "all eyez on me." right now, i really really hate sam chen who gave me the cough who also gave it to john yi. we agreed to stone that sinner. man, i'm all light-headed from coughing so much...and the fun don't stop.

dinko made me a STP (Stone Temple Pilots) mix yesterday. it was crazy listening to all of these songs that i once heard so much during my childhood. even though i knew about 80% of the songs, i didn't know that more than half of them were actually sung by STP. but the craziest part is that the majority of the songs i used to dislike sound SO GOOD now! it's like my ears finally opened up or something-i can finally appreciate! the same thing happened with Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and "the mighty mighty" Foo Fighters (whom i still love most).

it's similar to my appreciation for the Gospel. since i grew up in the church, i must have heard the Gospel a billion times at church and school (i used to attend a christian school). but it wasn't until a few years ago that the Gospel became oh so sweet. it's ridiculous how you can listen to the same thing over and over but not hear what is going into your ears. in the end, my appreciation for STP will die, but my appreciation for the Gospel will not; it will only grow. it's not that God's message is improving or becoming more attractive in any way. i am merely being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

i have been really blessed in the past 24 hours. there are high hopes of my living situation being resolved (and some more) and i received two new students to tutor. incredible. "let your mercies fall from heaven. sweet mercies fall from heaven. new mercies for today, shower them down, Lord, as we pray."
