so... I'm back in Los Angeles, and I found a roommate (a classmate) and a place to stay and I got the money i needed to re-start my life again in this big city~ and am mostly caught up with all the work that i needed to catch up on.... all this is a big Thank You to GoD!! because seriously, if it wasn't for prayer and more prayer from friends and family... i wouldnt be here in LA~ So first Thank and praise God for all his faithfullness~ every hump is added to the already giant testimony of this life I've been given. 2nd THANK YOU!!! is to my family!!! especailly kimberly, Christina, and yes, my aunt, who not long ago almost caused me to drop out of grad school for financial reasons... but that's what God's grace is~thank you to sister in Nova (miriam, jisun, sungsilly, jisunp, and danny not a sister but old friend) for a good sending off~ and big thanks to all the peoples out in LA for giving me a big welcome back hug!! ESPECIALLY my cousins Ivy and Chris~! and ivy's roommates~ thanks for letting me crash at your place and being SOOOO nice!! prime examples of christ's love, i must say~ and soo.. i'll update you about the little things, if you want to know~ I couldnt find a place on the west side, this time, but found a really good place on the east side (closer to school 7 min. yes!)~ God is Good!! it was exactly what I prayed for... big (enough), clean, safe, gated parking, and in a good area. I live in Los Feliz~ its kinda an artsy area, there a gang of cafe's around my apartment and i dont live too far from the hills~ i live literally right next dorr to Los Feliz library and literally 5 minute drive to ktown and even closer to hollywood~ soo it's great~ school has been HARD HARD HARD~ the HARDEST ever     why? because i have a vertical studio (higher level studio) and a thesis preparation class that are kicking my brain left and right... i have to think ALOT~ so much i get a headache thinking... It's because both classes are making me question who I am and why I am the way that I am, and what I'm going to do about it~ blah~~~ I pretty much think I know who I am~ i'm only 26~ there arent that many years that add up who I am, especially since childhood/teenage years kinda blurr together and college years~ but yea... its hard... some of you out there might be thinking, oh how hard must it be to just think about who you are and what your family has to do with that, and culture, and influences... and then to think about what exactly you are interested in, in the field of interest you are working in... it's really hard... exceptionally hard when they ask you to draw diagrams of it too~ diagrams are pictures, graphs, trees, blah~ I think I've finally hit the ReAL graduate degree part of this educational experience... I have to read all this stuff and think, and write, and sketch, and draw on the computer.. it's crazy... haha.. i sound like a retard so i guess what I'm saying is... Please pray for me to get through this!!! =P thank you!! which brings me to a lighter note~ Graduation!! I'll be graduating in September... so the schedule goes like this -now to April -spring semester 4/18 last day of finals -3 weeks off (might go to VA to visit mom for a week) and people come visit in LA for other 2 weeks -early may - september - Straight Thesis~ 2nd week of september thesis presentations~ then.. graduation!!! and then.... I dont know... I dont know if I will stay in LA or go back east, or go whereever... It's all up to god~ but there is a good chance that I will stay a little longer in LA~ because kimberly might move out here, her contract ends in korea soon and if she gets a job out here.. then I will definitely stay out here.. but she's not sure about it just yet... so we'll see...im going to apply everywhere (nyc, la, maybe europe? big ? on that one, Va? but doubt it~) anyways.. thats whats been going on... and on a final note... all this thinking got me thinking about the future and what I'm going to do with my "amazing" SCI-Arc education~ dont get me wrong.. it is pretty high tech stuff.. but i think it only truly becomes amazing when you do amazing things with it... and see thats it... what would the world be like if everyone knew that life was supose to be amazing!!! and tried to live life like that? what would it be like if people lived knowing that every move they made, mistake or success, was all okie because it was all part of the amazing life that they were predestineed to live out. there is a huge difference between thinking about having an amazing life, and actually living one out~ it's amazing alone that we all have the potential to have an amazing life... even if the only moving part of our body was an eyeball (referring to the diving bell and the butterfly~ good movie) I hope I can have an amazing life~ it has been so far... maybe i'm getting too lost in my thoughts~ who knows... alice in wonderland. oh and.. congratulations to people who are engaged!! and married~!!! hehe.. i'm a horrible friend in grad school.. get me OUT! |
