February 14th, Evening
Woke up this morning still with a slightly sore back. Almost overslept, good thing Faith called me up from Singapore in time to wake me up. I thank God for His wonderful healing, but so much more for the lessons that I've learnt throughout this time of sickness. So many people have emailed me to ask me how I was, and though I have yet to receive an email from my mother, I know it's only because she hasn't checked it yet, being as technologically savvy as she is. Good thing too, don't want to get her all worried.
I climbed out of bed and went for my morning English class. Sat outside for a while, waiting for the students to come out so that I could go in. Didn't notice the huge note on the door saying that the class has been cancelled. I would have skipped and rejoiced on the way back to my dorm, if my illness and worry for my teacher hasn't prevented me from doing so. Really hope Dr. Roepcke hasn't come down with the same flu.
I have a science test tomorrow, and I didn't study for it the entire weekend, being scarcely able to get out of the horizontal position even to drink water. Today I made the mistake of going to class one whole hour early, and took the time to read through my science textbook. Today was kinda different....I understood the darned book! It was like something in my brain got turned on...and the machinery inside was whirling around...
My T.A., Jennifer has been most kind to me. I've always come across as the annoying kid with lots of questions. Being Asian, I've not been the most vocal of people. I'm glad that here in the U of A my questions do not go unanswered. Jennifer took some time to answer some of the questions I've had. It's especially precious, as Einstein noted, that time is relative. On Valentine's day, evening time is VERY VERY precious. Well, for everyone but me. My computer waits for me day and night.
Oh one thing I forgot to mention...I watched Miss Saigon yesterday. (wait...weren't you SICK REAL BAD yesterday?) Ok...it's marvelous what two advils can do to you. It was AFTER watching it when I concussed on my bed. It was a beautiful musical, and if you let yourself get into it, tears are bound to flow. I preferred Les Miserables though, of course, who could take me away from my beloved Eponine. Jennifer...I do hope you make some time to watch Miss Saigon...and anytime if you can Les Miz!
I received a call sometime yesterday evening. Someone from the school wanted to offer me a job during Summer. I don't know whether to accept it or not, but apparently I was short listed for this offer. They're paying around US$7000 for three months. The money's great, it would look good on my resume...yadda yadda yadda...Just pray for me will y'all? I just want what He wants. I know that I'm needed back for church camp, and my heart is always there. I won't rule this one out, and I'd appreciate any advice any of you can give me on this one.
Well I have got to go. To all you out there...Happy Valentine's. To the most beautiful girl I know (you know who you are) *hugs*....I love you.
God bless you all.
