The news for this week..
Much more relaxed this week after my week of exams last week - yay. They went relatively well.

It's Wilson's birthday this Friday. I realized we haven't been doing the birthday once a month thing at fellowship.. and I was talking to Joylynn and we agreed that if we continue it, we should figure out a better plan because cakes are expensive and it doesn't quite seem right to make everyone chip in. What do you think? And any ideas for this Friday or would that be unfair for all the other September people?

And... are you still planning to burn me Nothing is Sound when you have time? :)

OH MY GOODNESS

Where was I this time?

Thank God you're ok. I guess we were wrong about it being a streak while you're with me. Is it going to be more ventilated from now on? How are you going to prevent it from happening again? Are there no windows in your lab?! Awful. I'm in full protective Maja mode now. Was it a water issue or just super hot and stuffy? Bleh.

Yeah, I'm glad to hear the concert went well. Haha. Clarinets got excited.

Hope you feel better!

Back at School...

It's ok, I'm just glad to hear that you're feeling better. I was worried when I didn't see you go up for anthem. The concert went very well.. we sounded much better than I expected. We had just the right amount of anxiety to keep us on our toes. There were a few spots where the clarinets got a little too excited, but otherwise, it went quite smoothly. We played a few contemporary Christian pieces (Let Us Praise the Almighty - opening, Cornerstone, To God Be the Glory, We Are an Offering, and Crown Him with Many Crowns), Winston sang Pillar of Fire while we played in the background, and there were 2 medleys (Wizard of Oz - my favorite, and TV Time - medley of TV theme songs, like I Love Lucy, Brady Bunch, Happy Days, etc), and the last piece was a classical piece (Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik). The songs are not all in that order though.. it was nicely spaced out.

Soooo.. it was a nice weekend. But I had to come back to school.. and I was hoping it won't be so bad. Well. We had our first day of O-chem lab this afternoon and it was so hot and stuffy in that lab. Have an idea what came next? Yeaaa. Dizziness hit me and I didn't make it out the door before I fainted. Luckily (as I found out later), someone caught me before I hit the floor. I guess it wasn't completely embarrassing, but still awkward. They put me on a couch outside the lab and I sat for awhile and a junior working at the supply room brought me some water and kept me company. Went back to lab after maybe 15 minutes and fortunately, I was able to finish the lab before it ended and actually wasn't the last person there. Sigh.. I hope O-chem lab's not going to be miserable this semester.. it doesn't help that I don't really know people in my lab very well. Bah. Pray that I won't faint again, especially not in a room as dangerous as the O-chem lab. Eeek.

Umm, is it Friday yet? :(

Strange Sunday

I don't know what exactly came over me but it was weird. After taking two long naps at home, I finally felt like myself again. I was disappointed I didn't get to see you play in the concert. How did it go by the way? What pieces did you play? I'm sorry I didn't get to support you. I was really planning on attending.

Anyway, I'm having more and more MMS woes. The guy actually called me at like 10 last night and left a voicemail because I didn't pick up. Ugh, so old and so lonely. I hope I don't end up like that. Anyway, everything is just so crazy right now.

I'm still working on my cabled bag. I'll post pictures when I get the chance.

Haha, this one's for you Amanda -

Did you know there is a "I miss John Kim" group on facebook? Haha :)

Wanted: Faja

Amanda


I've just invited Kathy... again... I have no idea why the email didn't reach her. So, this week has been another week of adjustments. I just sent in my petition to take 20 units this semester. I know they'll grant it, it's just a matter of them approving it before my permit numbers expire. In other news, I've sold my old camera and upgraded.

Things I've made this week: I've made a new camera case (since I sold my old case with my old camera). I wanted to work on a cabled bag BUT the yarn kept tangling. I spend literally an hour last night trying to sort it all out. It's still tangled.

Anyway, tomorrow is Friday! Yay! I'm so tired and ready for the weekend.

Where is faja?

And how was Labor day weekend? Mine was clearly uneventful.. and I found out I'm taking care of 4th and 5th graders by myself at KC this year. Emily was put with Sophia for preschoolers..... erg. I guess they figured I could handle 3 kids (so far anyway) by myself, but it's nice to have a partner so I don't have to be doing lesson every week.

And Amanda, you haven't really told me how Sunday School went last Sunday.. I heard you had 5th graders :) And I have 2nd grade with Helen.. do you remember Sunday school/worship with her?? I was pretty scared of her as a kid and now I'm working with her. Hmm.

Ooo! And Amanda, let me know if you have a concert or know of a good one at SF state coming up soon (preferably for free and on a Friday/Saturday) because I need to go to a few for my Music Appreciation class :) And if I can, I'm planning to write one on the orchestra concert at church this weekend... hahah... you guys should come if you're free. It's 2-3:30ish. The repertoire is actually pretty fun. But I won't be hurt if you guys are busy :)

Hope your week has been going well! See you guys Friday.
