Happy Harvestfest :)

Yesterday, our school has the annual Safe-trick-or-treat night on campus so a mass of little kids from the neighborhood came to our campus and lined up for candy and played games and stuff on the grass lawn. I wish I had my camera! As I was walking to lab, a mom was walking with her little girl in a pink princess dress and the sun was shining just right.. it would've been perfect. I have a lot of those I-wish-I-had-my-camera moments. And this is pretty funny - my tutee called this morning to cancel our tutoring session today because according to her, both her parents are sick and can't drive her to the center. I'm thinking she just wants to go trick-or-treating and didn't want to hurt my feelings. Hahah. Or maybe she's telling the truth. Either way, it was just funny as I thought about it after I hung up with her.

Tonight, I had a pretty delicious dinner - best steak they ever cooked since I've been at UOP! And then later tonight, I'll be going to my small group/bible study halloween get-together. I'm relieved that the insanity has finally come to a halt for now so I am finally getting a chance to relax. I thought I was done with exams last week but my o-chem lab TA surprised us on Monday - major lab quiz on Wednesday (today). So I had to study AND finish filling out my application. Good thing I finished the major stuff over the weekend. But it's over now and yes, I'm finally done with my application :) And I'm so sure you will pull through this storm too. There's a time to rest and a time to work.. and then there will soon be a time to rest and hang out with your extended family over break! :D

I hope your week goes smoothly. How are devotions lately? I've been reading about David and some of the psalms he wrote through his trials. It's definitely more interesting when it links certain psalms back to particular events in his life and I understand why he says some of the things he does or what he is referring to in them.

So let me know how your week goes... I won't be there on Friday because I have to stay and take the writing sample Saturday morning, but I will be driving back after lunch so I will talk to you on Sunday!
