SIR'd


I just sent in my SIR for UC Davis... kind of in shock that im so close to college now.. heh I've always thought that I would go to Davis (especially when I thought the entire world consisted of Cal, UCLA, UCSD, and UCD)... or up until last year when I visited UCLA. Comparing these two schools, I think UCD is the better place for me after all. It doesn't feel as crowded as UCLA, there nice clean fresh air, its closer to home, and it will be a bigger challenge for me to adjust at Davis.

I think I wanted to go to SoCal because its easy there. Family, friends, familiarity with some places there, but I think I need a new change. I'm probably not going to know many people here at Davis, at least to begin with, and I can use this opportunity as sort of a fresh start.

So, now what? I think i'm going to try some changes- maybe try again at volleyball, make some new and interesting friends, be a better roommate, deffinitely sing more. I think I will try to make myself come up with a list of things I want to change in my life- at least in college. Work in progress... haha

Congrats to everyone who has SIR'd and Good Luck to everyone who is still deciding.

Youth Councils 09

So basically, this weekend was youth councils and I think it kinda sucked compared to other years but it was also pretty interesting at some points. There was WAY TOO MUCH FOOOOOODDD things- caramel on the faces, banana on the feet, food, food, food, food, food, and food. WAY TOO MUCH! BUT I think it was a great time just to hang out relax and get to know the guys better. We had lots of time where we just hung out.

On Sunday, however, it was pretty amazing. Theres this thing called the "Everything Skit" and i've seen it a few times before but this time, for some reason, I just started crying and crying when i saw the part that gets exciting. In fact, im crying now thinking about it... The skit was very exciting and moving this time i saw it. Maybe it was the weekend building up, maybe it was because I really felt the calling this weekend, but whatever it was, I was just blown away when i saw this.

I hope this is not some high and that you guys can keep me accountable to this commitment to ministry. WOW alot there but yeah. Heres the skit
