It was a tough day...but it was only tough because I kept procrastinating, procrastinating, and procrastinating. It's just...man, how can I stop doing this? I didn't even get to school until noon, and then get stopped by a rest visiting Carlos, lunch, Williams milkshake break, brief visit to Jochen, pseudo Bible study break for dinner, sleep, and now Treasure Hunters, all the while checking constantly on warfish. I have only myself to blame for leaving a huge chunk of this assignment behind and having 4 project proposals to evaluate within the next 12 hours.

Random notes: It was frustrating to read the Bible this morning, probably because I couldn't concentrate due to surrounding circumstances, also because the scripture goes so deep and I just wasn't ready to face it; talked to Samuel briefly over msn this morning...he sounded tired, but at least he's in Taiwan now; the fight to leave the sinful life and head towards holiness is tough, and continues every moment of everyday; I guess I prefer this relaxed lifestyle over the always busy lifestyle, but I was probably too relaxed; I guess it also explains why my funding had been lower than before...but when the cost of everything else is going up, it's getting tougher and tougher; I used to be very afraid of starting msn conversations, but somehow that has changed...slightly...; there is a fantastic thunderstorm going on right now, hopefully that would cool things down dramatically...; I've discovered iTunes radio...hope it doesn't eat up too much bandwidth...

I'm grateful to God for...

• reconnecting with Kai over msn yesterday;
• giving me a company of people during this stressful day;
• once again calming me down when I try to panic;
• reminding me of His presence over the course of the day; and
• the air conditioning in my room.
