Mr. Darcy, Pride and Prejudice
Thursday, July 29, 2004
The law firm I work at is located near Chinatown. The church building where my church had been established was being knocked down. How weird.
In that building, i've had so many experiences and memories. Wow, as i was watching them demolish the fellowship hall, I began to see my past flash before my eyes. When Natalie, Ida, and I would secretly hide in the room to have our private chats. When Long had first talked to me about Christ. Our central meeting place before we head off to retreats. Horrible, oily Chinese fast food for lunch. My first tears shed for God. Uninhibited worship sessions. Experiencing God for the first time. Witnessing to friends and family.
Look how far we've come, ladies and gentlemen.

whew! i'm exhausted.
i have my first draft of my 7 to 10 page paper due on Thursday. Yikes! I'm going to be up all night Wednesday. Work ends next Thursday. [sigh] i'm going to miss them. AND, i'm not sure when i'm going back yet. Cause i need to be there on the 17th, but i don't want to feel rushed.
My brain is mush. I'm suffering from a lot of fatigue and stress. I wake up pretty early each morning to get ready for school. After school, I run a few errands for my mom. Then i buy food for Michael and myself. Then off to work at 1. Run to the post office to drop off mail for them around 4:30. Head to the gym to work out. Eat dinner around 7 or 8. Then i keep all to myself in my room for the rest of the night chatting online or working on homework. Weekends are nice. I get to relax. i hung out with my mom this last weekend since my brother was busy with his social engagements and I didn't make any plans. So eating dinner and watching movies with my mom was good.
What else? Huong's bridal shower is this coming Saturday. I need to go to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to buy something for her. I'm going to meet up with Jennifer S. on Sunday, hopefully. And, nope, i think that's about it for now.
...My memory has gotten worse. I don't know what's up with me, but i can't seem to remember the simpliest things! I knew i had a bad memory during the semester, but i didn't know it was this bad! What happened?! I've been making it a habit to write things down so that i could remind myself. I've used up ALL my post-it notes doing so.
Did I mention i am exhausted? today was a busy day as usual. It's hard for me to switch modes from school to work. I get lethargic right after school just cause i'm tired and i am certainly not a morning person.
Otherwise, I can't complain about anything. God has been so generous. He's blessed me with a time of pure grace. He sure is gooood.

Yay, today was a good day. Fridays are the best. I went to class. I'm very proud of myself. I've been successfully waking up each morning for my 8 o'clock class. I haven't skipped class, yet! I hope to establish this pattern of behavior once the semester starts.
Work has been interesting. I mean, good. I'm learning a lot about office work. There's a lot of routine, and things need to be done in a certain way. My supervisors, though, are great. They are very patient with me. Thank God. haha.
Oh, by the by. I went to Waco last weekend. SO many things were troubling me in Houston that I needed a break from the hassles of home-life. If you want further explanation, feel free to ask. Otherwise, it's tedious and needless to explain myself on the internet.
Continuing on with today's events; I went to drop Mike off at AEC, then I drive over to Memorial City Mall to shop, for others. I was coming out of Sam Goody? Claire's? Foot Locker? And i see Ms. Lee passing the entrance. I saw her, she saw me. I gave a confused look. She gave a confused look. I said, Hey! and then she said, HEY! hehe. It was an interesting coincidence to "bump" into her, considering I had asked her to join me for shopping and she turned me down...what's up with that? *shrugs no biggie.
So, I shop with her, her brother, and their cousins for the time being. It was great hanging out with her. Great girl. After the entourage left, I went on my own way to find my "gifts". I accomplished my mission within a hour and a half, as well as purchasing a few gifts for myself. =)
Came home and relaxed. That's it. Boy, have i had the most exhausting week. I think i'm going to bed.

Oh my goodness. Could this day get worse? Hopefully not, it's nearly 10. My brother's car got scratched, not like a "oops i accidently keyed your car cause i was swinging my keychain about" kind of scratch, but "a full work of art scratch until i key an entire 2 inches on your car until i can see the engine" kind of scratch.
I am so upset with myself. My brother is going to be pissed off. Who would do such a thing? It's not like i openly offended anyone. It's a nice car too. ugh. A 2001 Honda Accord Coup scratched because i went to school. [sigh]
AND my younger brother is being a total jackass. I don't know. I don't know if he's going through this hormonal teenage phase, but it's really pissing me off. He's like going through a menstrual cycle that i was not aware that men had.
Other than that. Yeah, that sums up how i feel right about now.
frustrated, angered, self-pity, lonely.
