looking back..

I have never had all my deadlines due within the same time frame before like this..School, nursing school application, work, & church. It's been tough. And I am "beyond burnt out" (hahaha) as someone had once said to me before. Recently, I realized/discovered how "stuck" I am with my commitments and how really tired I have become from them. Not just tired, miserable. And it is finally time to do something about it before it's too late.

Time to SUBTRACT. It's no longer additions, but subtractions I must learn to do. Yes, Stephanie. You will learn how to say the word, "no" and be given room to breathe. Yay.. That would be kinda nice.


For the past *few months..or longer, I have felt like..



..and maybe..

a new monster friend

Time for many all-nighters to come. Hope that this monster energy drink will be the solution to my fatigue. Sleep is so precious but I must study when I'm not working.
I can't wait until I can catch up with my sleep. Sleep, such a leisure right now.

Random Thought:

My "realistic" get-away..vacation might seriously consist of just parking my car next to a random lawn..and then parking my portable beach chair on the lawn & relaxing in the sun with my sunglasses on. lol.

school started








Yep, that's right. I'm back to studying-mode. Gosh, summer was great. I miss it already. I never got around to feeling like going back to school. And now, I realize that September will be a big start of more things. With another job that I'll be taking, my mornings will never be my own (that's for sure). Come to think of it, neither will be my evenings. Gosh..that's not good.

What happened to my vacation?? Did I really get to have one, no. I did not. With my oath ceremony to become a US citizen, they took my passport so that I can get the cool blue one..not the green (Korean) passport I have had all my life. I could have paid extra to get express shipping and have my passport delivered back to me within a month, but...why would I pay an extra hundred dollars to get my passport back AFTER school starts? So..no passport, no exciting trips. Oh well, there's always next time.

For now, I can be satisfied with lots of ice cream, watching as many movies as I possibly can, and trying/exploring different types of coffee drinks. And finally, my personal favorite, shopping.

jo's back













My sister, my best friend was gone for a whole month for missions. I've never missed her this much before. I was counting the hours that she would be coming home. And while she was finally on her way down, I had to surprise her with balloons and flowers. :o) It was wonderful. My parents missed her just as much as I did. We were glued to my Jo.. At one point, I noticed that we were all just watching her unpack her suitcase and throw dirty clothes in the laundry basket in wonder. lol
I missed my Jo.
