late tuesday nights always seem to be a good time to blog.





for my Latino Families class, i had to watch Real Women Have Curves with some classmates to discuss and prepare for our paper. it was really interesting hanging out with non-Koreans (non-Asians for that matter) for a change. pretty refreshing in fact. the more i interact with non-Asians/Koreans, the more i realize how close-minded and ignorant i am. sure i call myself a Korean-American, but i totally do not hang out with other ethnic groups. i really like white people. i like their "really American" accents, their sophisicated sense of humor, and their clarity of speech and thought. although i am fluent in English, i really feel like my diction sucks. Koreans all talk the same. i feel like we speak a very shallow, stupid version of English. i can't give any specific examples but you all understand what i mean, right?

ANYWAYS, the movie ended and as we were walking back to my car, there was this brief discussion about how everyone has their biases on people of different majors. arts and drama majors are weird and crazy...stuff like that. well, we, being psychology majors, had a good rant about how everyone assumes that we're always analyzing people and reading their minds. people have this covert cynicism and fear whenever they find out we study psychology. haha. i don't know. it was really funny cause it's so true! but what made this event so enjoyable for me was the fact that a Latino, a White, and a Korean guy were all sharing this special bond despite their very different backgrounds. phenotype nor culture was an issue. we simply accepted and shared that psychology student relationship. how much more beautiful will it be when Christ comes back and EVERY ethnic group shares in the same purpose and fellowship as we all worship our glorious God. "We�re colored people, and we live in a tainted place. We�re colored people, and they call us the human race. We�ve got a history so full of mistakes. And we are colored people who depend on a holy grace."-dc Talk
p.s.-when the white classmate came into my car, i turned down my rap music. haha.

over winter break, i was very uncertain about my plans on studying in Korea after graduating. i had fearful thoughts of change and transition and discomfort and regret. my decision to go was at about 50/50 during winter retreat. i asked many people to pray that God would make His will for me much clearer...sooner. this past saturday, i had a good talk with some who have already gone to Korea and even plan on going for the first time this summer. i was very encouraged with the responses. that same excitement i had last year when i first made my decision has come back to life. there are even some nights when i can't fall asleep just thinking about the future that lies ahead of me. one desire has disappeared and a dead one has resurrected. so much happened in January 2006.

my brother talks in his sleep every night.
it scares me every night.
