I'm still getting these flashbacks of Princeton. I keep remembering people and these little things that happened. Well, today I had a final. I thought it was a 3 hour final (like finals have always been ever since highschool) but then after 1 hour and 45 minutes I find out that it's actually a 2 hour final. 'What the heck?!?!'

Anyways, that's over. Well, this week wasn't all that bad. I got to see Midori last Friday and Saturday! :D She was awesome, af course! (stiff, as always, but sounded sooo beautiful!) I got to talk with her again, and I gave her a Christmas card. heehee :P

I've started listening to praise music again for the first time since I left Princeton. Last week, as I was driving in my car the song, "Depth of Mercy," came up unexpectedly, and by the end of the first chorus tears were streaming down my face. I can't tell you how good it is to hear worship again. Right now, the songs that are really moving me are "Nails in Your Hands" and "Before the Throne of God Above." Those are such good songs... I never really appreciated them before until now.

Well, here's a sketch I did on paper when I was feeling depressed a couple weeks ago. You can click on it to get a bigger version.

This was drawn on paper in pencil, then traced over in pen, then scanned with my Cannon BJC-50 scanner cartridge. Okay, enough play, back to work i go.

I've been getting up really early recently, like around 4:00 AM. I think I like getting up early, cause it gives you that "fresh new start" feeling. 4:00 AM used to be the time I usually went to bed, but now I usually go to bed around 10 or 11. Today was an exception though because I was working on a problem set until 3 and didn't get back to my room until around 3:30 AM. Happily, I was still able to get up at 6 and finish my problem set that was due this morning (thanks to Mr. Brown Iced Cappucino).

Oh, speaking of iced cappucino... I bought stuff from Gongshee.com for the first time since moving to Cleveland. The goods arrived yesterday, and I'm sooo happy! :D I've got tons of soy milk, grass jelly drinks, chrysanthinum tea, lychee jelly cups, pocky sticks, haw flakes, milk candy, instant noodles, hot sauce, guava juice, and of course iced cappucino. I usually order vanilla iced coffee, but they didn't have it in stock. Ah well, I'm still very happy with all the yummy stuff I got! ^_^

I have two half-finished letters that I need to, well, finish up. But I never seem to have the time. Don't you hate it when you write half a letter and suddenly you're too busy to finish the other half? Hmm... hopefully I'll have some free time tonight. I can't wait till Christmas break.... *sigh*
