summer is here!

this year has gone by soo fast, but i really loved it. it was reallyy stressful like academically, spiritually, and haha relationally, but i made it through. i think my only regret, with college applications in the near future, is that i didn't do my best at school. i've decided that i really do want to go to northwestern. visiting there, i really felt at home and i loved seeing the fellowship really engage the campus. mm i don't know i guess i'll just pray that if it's where God wants me to go, i'll get in!

i'm going to organize the schools i am most likely applying to:

safety's: syracuse, wheaton, BU
realistic's: george washington, american, NYU, tufts
reach's: georgetown, usc, northwestern


it has been so much less stressful :) this week has been amazingly fun. i really love my friends.


monday, i went to nadiah's surprise going away party. and the lyceum is a great place, there is so much love. at first i thought it was going to be wicked awkward with some of the people we don't usually hang out with there. we all reallyy bonded, even though it was kinda dirty at times haha. i am excited for a senior year full of gravitas, dignitas, and veritas lol.



on tuesday, i went to hang out with my two favorite G's, keith and sam. we went shopping and played pool at boston bowl, where we met up with mena. this was also the day that the celtics won the nba championships! :)


wednesday, i hung out with the coolest family in weston. tiff was getting ready for her semi and then v and i went to the natick collection. we ate amazing crepes
and gelato then watch kung fu panda, the best movie everrr, with gordon and amanda.



on the morning, v and i went to bostonn on the train. we wore our shirts and green eyeliner! we met up with nathan and kei-fu for dim sum. thenn saw the celtics with a tonn of ppl! after we met up with sunny d and his friends and shopped. after v and i went to kumon and the yuen's for dinner. after eating a tonn, v, nathan, and i walked to cvs. we also bought some cool shades from newbury comics. we had an eventful walk back home and watched "welcome home, roscoe jenkins." then v dyed my hair ahaha you can't tell, but it was exciting and we watched some of xmen 3.


friday, in the a.m., nathan, v, and i met up with blair, victor, tak, and katie. we went to dim sum and met up with brian and andrew lai,victoria and justin hum, sam, and keith. after shopping in downtown and walking through the commons, we went to boston bowl. we played some intense bowling (with free socks!) and pool haha. after v, n, and i went back to cambridge and haha had no money to ride the bus. thank God for kind people, after we ate dinner and went to church! there weren't as many kids at lyf b/c of mando retreat, buut the game and small group were really fun :)
