As the year progresses, I realize that I am getting closer and closer to finishing up college. Yes, I know that my college education has just only started. However, this semester sped along by. I just hope that all of the semesters go by this quickly. I am hoping that I have obtained the 4.0 GPA that I desperately need this semester. I have studied hard in all my classes and became familiarized with this whole "college thing". I only hope to get better at studying for all of the exams that are bound to smack in front of me. On that being said, I am looking forward to Christmas break.

Although I do not have much planned on Christmas break, I look forward in hopes of getting a holiday job. I need money in order to provide pleasant surprises for my friends and family. Truthfully, I need some time to work on my story as well. I know that I am going to go on an annual winter retreat with my church, but I wish that it would take place in Georgia instead of Florida. I don't care for traveling long hours being stuffed in a car along with six other people. I am most comfortable when I am in familiar surroundings. Going out of my way to talk to other people is rather difficult. It is especially when I have very little in common with the people. In fact, the only thing that I will have in common with these people is that I go to the same church as them… minus the fact that I am also Korean.

On other note, I am immensely excited about my final essay that is due in my English class. We are to write a short story, and I already have a great idea for my own. I cannot wait to take the next English class for spring semester. It is with my original teacher that I have for English 1101. Although I am glad it is with her, I will miss the hilarious and blunt sarcasm that we are greeted with each time our class meets. I am hoping that next semester I will have more topics to write about for my blogs instead of these pointless journal entries of how life is right now. I want to write about thrills, passions, and things that interest me. I have already wrote about the things that I love most. To my misfortune, the only things that I can think as of now are short stories. I would much rather love to write a short story; each entry being just one chapter in progress. This would be much more invigorating than just a simple entry about life. Perhaps the teacher will consider on my request? J

Oh, I did finish reading my book by Terry Goodkind. The final book was epic! It invoked all of the emotions that were in me. I felt passion, anger, sadness, excitement, anxiety… everything! This book was truly amazing. I was so very sad when I neared the last, final pages. Although I did say that I was going to try and take my time so I could savor each word in the final book, it was much too difficult doing so. Every time I turned a page, it was getting all the more exciting. I could not help but to read quickly. I finished the book in about three days after the release date. I am very eager to see what Goodkind will create next. Even though I know that his next series is going to be amazing, Richard Rahl will be missed greatly. As for now, I have to find another series to start reading until then (even though it will not be as great as Goodkind).

This week is Thanksgiving. Something that I have little excitement over. I was originally supposed to go to New York with my church for a work shop (basically a conference and going to witness) but I will be going to Alabama to visit relatives instead. I would have chosen to go to New York, but one of the relatives that are going to come is my father's sister. Someone who I have never seen before in my life. She will be bringing her daughter who I have not seen in years also. Basically, I haven't seen any of these people in a long time. My grandparents really wanted the whole family to be over to celebrate during this holiday. If I missed this, they would be terribly disappointed, thus making me feel slightly guilty about the situation. Then things would be awkward during the next visit to their house. I do not wish to be approached with cold feelings the next time I visit them. As shocking as this is, I want Thanksgiving break to be over with. It doesn't even feel like a holiday is approaching. I remember in high school I looked forward for this vacation. Now, it is just another week that I am waiting for to pass by.

I really don't have much to say. I am too eager to work on my short story for my English class. Until next time.
