My Real First Day of Summer

= today. 

I am slightly sick, thus the excuse to still not unpack and stay in bed most of the day. (Okay. I am sick. Finally.) 

Missed church... Have not met up with anyone yet. 

I have been reading a lot of things online and dah. Making lists. But most of the things I am making lists of are exciting things. And digesting the past couple days. Good stuff.

My professors sound pretty cool for Foothill. I am taking an intro to drawing class for pure enjoyment (Ah... I feel like I can breathe a little, it is summer c:), a humanities class that sounds pretty interesting, and a history class online to finish HUM. 

Books to read... people I want to know about. Skills I want to 갈고 닦아. Ahaha that was a very random usage of Korean. Speaking of which, I must improve in my Korean this summer (I can't believe I'm saying this, but I have reached the stage where I can feel my tongue and brain working together when I speak in Korean, whereas I used to not feel anything before, i would just flow like breathing. Dah. Except for random phrases to express certain emotions. ) 

Since college, I felt myself becoming more disconnected and critical of my culture. But I don't want to go that direction. If anything, I want to grow a heart for my... people. And I can't deny that God placed me in my specific background for specific reasons. And I want to be able to connect with that huge pool of people I will be continuing to interact with and meet... This sounds a lot like the reason why I want to learn Spanish. And ha. Another huge reason: My family. Another huge reason: I want to be able to pray in Korean. 

I told my dad yesterday that I think the most Korean side of me now is my tastebuds. 

I played my flute today!!! Wow. Haven't for... an year. I am grateful that my mom made me take lessons throughout the years, because I can't be expressive with guitar or piano but there is an instrument that I can somewhat. 

I realized today that summer is probably going to be pretty packed. But still, packed with things I am choosing to do fo sho. I am excited and I am very thankful. 

I have all the reasons to, everyday, first priority, to wait, to listen, and follow Your voice. 

So I am not moving anywhere. Haha. I am too used to good old blogspot that lets me be random and or thoughtful.

Some of the joys the past week... : 

Making it out of dorms on time! checked out 6 pm sharp, by grace of God... sigh haha.

Extraordinary desserts for first time after last final! Spontaneously :)

Balboa Park and its museums :) 

Eating at a four-star restaurant +_+... Actually, the best dish was the salad. Eh. 

Visiting Solvang before San Luis Obispo. The place Natalie calls 

"uh... very out of place." Like a Dutch town. The place I call "Koreans would put this place in a travelguide." Hahaha. 

an antique shop at Solvang with an intimidating owner, but another one was really kind.

I like vintage stuff :)
