Man, I definitely don't write in this anymore...
facebook me or better yet (and more public) my youtube video blog: www.youtube.com/karinatinblog
typing takes too long and I'm lazy haha.

but a quick recap:
Semester A:
- made good group of friends
- hooked up with a great church
- helping out with the youth group
- college care group
- TKD
- monkeys!
- freakin crazy roommate
- hung out with some fam when they came to visit, showed them around
- friends left to go back home
- in HK (where they speak Cantonese, Chinese) but I'm learning Korean

Semester B:
- came back from visiting home during Xmas
- made new friends
- new roommate (she's cool)
- TKD (haven't gone back yet, but next week)
- still with church/ youth group/ care group
- eating in my dorm room more often
- not going out as much
- taking 18 units- 6 classes
- more chill of a semester so far
- went to Taiwan to visit my friend Cris, during Chinese New Year. had a blast.
- still in HK, where they still speak Chinese, in Korean 2 and French 1.. I know, weird.

"roll with the punches"... that's all I can do really. (well, that and pray)
I guess I can't really do anything about it anyways so I'll leave it up to God and just take what He gives me.
Thanks for your words, Nicole. =)

anyways.. the Olympics is pretty much AMAZING!
with the relay and Michael Phelps and Lezak with the half second win. wow.
and the Chinese with gymnastics. i know that Asians in general look young for their age, but these girls that are supposed to be 16 look at most 14. but man can they flip their little bodies around.
as for the American womens team, Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin... omg, theyre awesome.
man.. i wish i stuck with gymnastics back in the day.

thanks to some people ive realized that i need to do something for me this time. this will definitely not be easy.. how do i tell someone i need to let them go when they dont even know that there are issues in the first place?
but i know that eventually everything will turn out ok, thats just the way life is.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all of your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."- Proverbs 3:5-6. love that verse, it's been a handy one

so i guess even though im losing one, a great one.. God has sent in a a new one, how i love God's perfect timing. not necessarily a replacement, but ive definitely gained another. i think this one will cause me less pain and stress, so far theyre helping me through my current situation.

its hard to know how to feel right now. with possible outcomes in so many different directions, i dont know how this will turn out. i dont even know if ill feel like crap or relieved afterwards. i guess the only thing i can do is trust in God and pray...
"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
