My mommy said I could get an iPod nano for my birthday! And I can probably get it soon instead of waiting so yay :) What color should I get...and 4 gigs or 8?

I called my mom after class today. But she sounded kind of harried, and then she was like, I have to go. I'm having coffee with Auntie Xiangle. Goodness. Too busy for me. But I'm glad she's spending time with her friends :)

I want to have a coffee date too! Any takers? 9am is a bit early..

Whee I just went on a mini shopping spree! On the phone. Haha. I couldn't resist. I was checking BR's website to admire the lovely coat again, and then I noticed that it was running out of sizes! So I thought about when I could make it to the store. But since midterms are coming up soon, I couldn't justify a shopping trip. So I decided just to go for it. Yay! I hope my items come soon :)

Next on my list: the new iPod nano. Cuz I lost mine :( And I have absolutely no idea where it went. Has anyone seen it? It's white, 4 gigs, the old model, in a pink leather case that folds like a wallet (the inside flap has a pocket for credit card-type things). It's so unlike me to misplace something, especially something valuable. But the new nanos are really cute and fat :) I want!

Ok must stop being so greedy.

I just changed my ink cartridge today, and noticed that hp gives you pre-paid envelopes to send in your empty cartridges for recycling! I love hp. :) Good quality and environmentally friendly. That made me a little happier tonight, knowing that they are doing their part.

I guess it's back to printing out PT experience forms for grad school apps...my boss is leaving for three weeks (to Rome, Paris, and LA!!) so I need her to sign them off before she goes. Hopefully I can still make my 8am.

I want my koala.

Trying to remember to be patient. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

I always forget how good the Bible is.

God, quiet me with your love, calm my anxious heart. Please help me look outside myself and think about things from others' points of view.

And to you, I'm sorry for being such a burden lately. Forgive me for not loving enough. I hope that now I can stop feeling sorry for myself and just be secure. Be happy in knowing truth. And love. To be active. To have self-confidence. Intimacy requires movement.

In other news, my sociology class is talking about gender inequality, the gender wage gap to be specific. It makes me think about the days when women didn't have to work, weren't pressured to work or get higher education or do much else besides look pretty and be a good wife and mom. Sometimes I wish I lived in the 1950s. I know there were other social problems, but it does seem like such a lovely concept. Your main goal in life is to raise a good family. It doesn't seem to be the case today. In fact, most housewives are not looked upon with much respect. I just wish we had the option, instead of being forced to work because of societal pressures or monetary dependency. Maybe then I'd actually learn how to cook. And enjoy it.

On the agenda for tonight: SLEEP.

If I get my Soc 122 reaction paper done, that is. After staying up til 7am writing my lab report for exercise physio, I am exhausted. I even had to ditch my 8am (big surprise) to sleep. We have a midterm in that class next week. I have no idea what's going on in that class. I think I've been to less than half the lectures. Uh oh.

I guess this weekend I'm studying. And doing apps. Such a fun life :)

Although Christian and I are each making a list of the top 5 movies we want to rewatch. We're going to take turns going through the lists. I'm excited :) Here's where I get to make him rewatch When Harry Met Sally, The Sound of Music, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Never Been Kissed, Bridget Jones' Diary, etc. etc. Must revise list.

So apparently my exercise physio lab nominated me to be next week's test subject. I have to exercise on a bicycle ergometer for 20 or 30 minutes in the heat while wearing sweats, and then for 20 or 30 minutes in the cold (like A/C) while wearing shorts and a tank. Goodie. I have like no endurance for these kinds of things, exercise and temperature change. Luckily I only have to exercise at submax level.

I love opening up my gmail inbox and seeing all these emails from friends :) yay.

I need food. Koala feeding time!
