It's snowing in OCTOBER!!!

This morning, I woke up and there was SNOW!!!!!! It's not even winter yet. I was so excited that I ran around campus taking pictures. Everyone else was just nonchalant about the whole thing. LAME!!!! But I had so much fun giggling, making footsteps, and running around in the snow. I took a couple of snapshots. I hope you enjoy, especially those in sunny California.

Pictures can only show so much soooooo.... I made a video!!!! Enjoy the snow footage and Hanna footage! Love and miss you all!

Autumn is Here

Autumn is officially here and it is absolutely gorgeous! I'm definitely not in California anymore. These are a few snapshots of my visit to Fort Washington National Park. We celebrated my roommate's birthday and she experienced her first peanut butter & jelly sandwich (she's from the U.K.). But that's for a later post. Toodles!

A Peek

Hello again! Lately, I haven't been taking many pictures with my G12 camera. Partly because I've been busy with school work. But I have been snapping some random pictures with my phone camera. It just takes dreamy pictures. I LOVE!

These are the best fries that I've EVER tasted! They are double fried... I know heart attack right? It reminds me of this saying: But if eating this is wrong, I don't want to be right- John Park HAHA!!

This is the view from our front porch. So romantic right?

It reminds me of the scene from Sound of Music. "I am sixteen going on seventeen..."

Writing my paper on Augustine's Confessions, while staring at this portrait on the wall.

Any guesses on who it is?

My secret study room

Autumn is here! I'm super excited to experience all 4 seasons. This is the view from our courtyard at school. It's a beautiful place to just chat, eat lunch, or read a book.

Our campus. The weather has been absolutely perfect these days, sunny and breezy.

Some of the meals that I've been eating: oatmeal & chocolate soymilk, triangle kimbap 삼각김밥, toast with jam & cheese, and spicy bean sprout soup 콩나물국 with rice & seaweed.

I hope you enjoyed a peek into my life here at Westminster. There isn't much going on except enjoying the simple things in life. At least, that's what I like to tell myself LOL! Have a good one! See you next time <3

food coma

This is what happens when you have food coma in class! Especially when you're sitting in the front row... no good! Do you like my drawing of me sleeping in class? LOL!!! And can you tell I was especially excited for break time :) While we're on the subject of taking notes or lack thereof. To keep myself awake in class, I like to doodle. On every single page of my notes, you will find a clock. It informs me how much longer I have to stay awake.

Lesson learned: DO NOT eat before class! Or just find a better way of falling asleep in class HAHA! See you next time!

Room 301

Hello again! I've been holding off on a room tour because it just didn't seem like my room yet. But after a few days of adding pictures and decorations, it finally feels like home :) The girls' dorm room is on the third floor of the Machen building. This building is over 200 years old so there are no elevators, just good old stairs.

This is the hallway

Welcome to my room!

My side of the room

I bought these little shelves at Target. They add a nice touch to the room. Can you spot Lil' Homie?

Pictures of loved ones :)

El bano

Do you like my obnoxious hot pink backpack? And yes, I do wear it to school! No shame!

My closet

This is my favorite part of the room, the chandelier. I just like it.

We have a separate study room on the same floor. Pretty nice right?

This is my study area. I have yet to study here though LOL

My library is a bit empty but I'm sure it'll get filled over the next semesters.

This is our living room

The End! I hope you enjoyed a peek into my life here. Classes have officially started this week. It's been really interesting and I actually enjoy school (it's only been 4 days so far LOL). But in all seriousness, I've been praying for a joy and desire to study. I understand that my time here isn't useless, but God-ordained. So I really want to get the most of this opportunity God has given me. To be honest, my attitude, so far, hasn't been like this. There have been lots of days crying and questioning why I'm here. It really is a daily struggle to be joyful and thankful for this season of my life. But God is good and patient with me. And his mercies are new every morning. :)

Okay, before I go. I wanted to share this story with you..of this hideous bruise! My roommates tried to teach me how to ride a bike. In the process, I ended with bruises all over my legs and butt! AND I still don't know how to ride one. MAJOR FAIL! Bikes and I are not destined to be :( Hope you enjoyed this post! See ya'll later!

Alive and Well

HALLOOO!!! I am alive and well in Philadelphia. Did you know that only people from Philadelphia are allowed to call it "Philly"? Who knew! Anyways, I am slowly adjusting to my new life here in Philadelphia and as a seminary student. I was homesick for the first couple of days and then physically sick, but overall I'm really excited to be here. I'm actually super excited to start classes but we'll see how long that lasts LOL. I will do a room tour and campus tour soooooonnn. But until then, I leave you with one of the many things in my room. Meet my super cute night light, Lil' Homie! HAHA!!! See you next time!

Goodbye California

Before

After

PHEW! I'm so glad packing is over and done with. It was definitely a challenge trying to fit my whole life into 4 suitcases. But now I'm ready. Goodbye California. Philadelphia here I come!
