-Discovering delicious coffee at a new location. Thanks Siwei!
-Unwinding on Friday afternoons. TGIF.
-This weather. Thanks God.
-The pottery class that meets on Thursday nights at Crafts Center. Puheh stalker status. Thanks Strike's GF for reminding me.
-Our Provost. I saw him @ The Art of Coffee today. Keke. Creeper again.
-Jon Foreman. Thanks Natalie Fav. for more for my poor iTunes library.
-Having conversations with people comfortably enough to look at them in the eye. My Asian side comes out when I do this.. haha my eyes usually kind of drift when I look at people's faces for a while.
-April: Joanna's coming to SD :), Hillsong, & FOREMAN, new classes. MAE too in May.
-Being excited to tell a friend about something who will be as excited as you are about what you're about to tell them :)
-Really nice strangers who don't take your credit card or laptop after you've left them.
-Professors who let you re-take quizzes that you missed because you overslept... Hehe. Even if she didn't though, I'd still heart her.
-God doing His thing. His intentional interconnected spontaneities that keep blowing me away.
-Knowing that as long as I'm in His arms, I'll be where I need to be, despite, and especially in this what-seems-like-a-lot-of-decisions-to-make-time.
-Friends who confirm that with their stories :)
edit:::
I have fallen in love with a foreign place that I never knew existed. I can't believe I spent a good 3 hours looking up information and pictures about this city & country...
Valparaiso, Chile <3
-It's not so touristy as Spain
-It is quite influenced by Europe, but still rich in Latin American culture
-Chile is a really... long... country. Therefore has all kinds of landscapes...
-My professor's from here
-I actually have an Asian building..mate who grew up in Chile and Spanish is her first language, and I think that's soo cool.
-Someone's quote who has gone:
"My semester in Chile was a myriad of experiences. Daily classes with the eclectic professors at the University of Conception infused my Spanish with history, idiom, and confidence. I read Chilean Nobel poets over coffee and chatted Latin politics with my host family over dinner. More than any South American country, chile is the complex snapshot of globalization, where horse carts and Audis vie for city parking and native Mapuche Indians struggle against hydroelectric projects on ancestral lands. All of this is nestled with the memories of glacier-draped Torres del Paine, surfboards arcing across waves on countless beaches, and immense northern deserts whispering 'explore us' by bus, bike, and foot. Nothing quite describes how this country feels until you actually live in it!"
Sounds pretty amazing.
I am so blessed.
