i got it back.and i have learned

despite my apologetic reply to the notification email, my internet was STILL terminated for the most part of today. i actually didn't realize this until i got back from ZAS(pasta, punnini, and salad restaurant with no waitresses/waiters and self-delivered food.)

i went to HMCC (harvest) church this morning. as i was walking out, it was raining quite hard. i didn't have an umbrella, so i put on my hood from my red sweater. it was still so freezing cold walking in a short jean skirt and flip flops. thankfully, i reached the hatcher graduate library so i had temporary shelter. Tina (my sister's high school friend) led me and this other girl from Taiwan to the new location of the church (it's behind rackham, the orientation place).

i have to admit that i was a bit detached in the beginning when we were singing the first worship song. two weeks isn't that long, but i couldn't immediately get into the heart of worship right away. as the sermon began, my mind started to drift (slept too late last night), but the sermon gradually became very interesting. the speaker showed us some video clips on how Harvest has changed them (Tina was one of the people interviewed), Martin Luther King's last words during his speech (about not caring of living long because he has seen what needs to be done and he is doing it), and other Christ-promoting clips that were very well-made. At the last worship song (the first one that was sung), i was completely in-tune with God again.

not too sure about which small group to join (i was actually thinking of joining both the AIV and harvest). still thinking about it. i added a course today: RC singers! i heard them practicing last thursday and it sounded awesome! they were singing a south african song.it was truly stellar. so i'm very excited about that. now i have 18 credits.i gotta work hard. haha

after my internet got terminated, i was told to take this violation test by the school. i took it around 4 times until i got all 10 questions right.the first time was a 90%.then it just got worse until the 4th time.haha. so glad i was able to pass at all (they make it so you can't pass it easily the first time). my internet returned at around 5 pm. it was one of the cruelest lessons i have learned so far in college. NO DOWNLOADING.EVER AGAIN.

girl i have both michael buble AND ingrid michaelson's albums on my PC! i could've sent them over. *huggles* i can feel how scary it is to receive an email like that. but if you ever need any songs, just let me know. i'd be more than willing to help. : )
