I guess it's the general consensus among people that every little girl dreams of her wonderful wedding. I haven't really given my own wedding much thought until a lot more recently. I just knew that I wanted a big, extravangant wedding in which I feel like a princess. Pretty vague, huh? "Big and Extravagant"-- I think that is so like me. I've ( Read more... )

I just jogged the 4-mile perimeter for the second time! I found I could push myself to run farther and walk less than I had before. Only if it wasn't for that burning morning sun. I got too overwhelmed by it, and even when I could continue to jog more, the sun wouldn't stop beating down on me or preoccupying my mind. At around the halfway point, I ( Read more... )

Today was our Winter quarter NSU staff retreat, and as always, it was enrichening, inspiring, and fulfilling. As it's a requirement for all staff, there was quite a turn out, but I'm most impressed with how many first years from New Staff showed up. It reminds me of when I was a first year and showed up to every NSU event or meeting. And so: Winter ( Read more... )

=D I tried out the 4-mile jogging trail around the UCLA perimeter yesterday!! Crazy good times (I felt dizzy and wanted to vomit at the end, w00t!) in getting a feel for the famous jog route. This week was finding out when I can fit in jogging in my day-to-day schedule so I can make it a regular thing. I wasn't able to jog the entire thing, not by ( Read more... )

I love my boyfriend Daniel. He is the most incredible person in the world to me. I just had the most amazing Winter Break, and YEAR, largely thanks to him. It amazes me how I could have found intense, passionate, and lasting Love at such an early point in my life. I didn't see it coming, but I am so glad it hit me. I feel so utterly happy, so ( Read more... )

ONE WEEK until I fly back home for winter break =O

And I'm tired. Tiiiiiiiiiired. I have a quiz in Classical Japanese tomorrow that I *have* to get a perfect on. Other than that, I'm not stressed. However, it's at 10am and here I am on the computer at 2 in the morning, not studying. Not too much fretting, though, I studied some while at work ( Read more... )
