So I started work for my mother this past Monday. It's been hectic. ..no..Not really. It's just long hours and I get tired.

I haven't written in a while, so I'll do a quick recap..

 hm..Saturday? My sister, Randy, Matt, and I went miniature golfing. It was fun times. Then we went to a Korean restaurant where Randy showed off his cool Korean-words& usage. Food is so good. Afterwards, we went to streets to see Dodgeball, but Matt was being difficult ..so we went to see White Chicks instead. Good movie. I actually thought it was going to be freaky..but it was pretty good.

Sunday I went to Laura's church! Woo. She's so hot. ^_^

Monday I started work. It was alright. I don't really remember what I did afterwards though.

Tuesday I went to work again. I came home and went to Matt's. We hung around, took a walk..listened to some music and he played some music. He rocks.

Wednesday I worked again. After work, Sam's mom picked me up and took me to Charlestown Mall..pretty randomly. There, we met up with .. Gilette, Skowronski, Paul Han, Mike, Matt, Nick, Anthony, Brian, and Momo, and Sam. Spider man 2 yo. Good stuff. I <33 Tobey. ::Sigh::

Hm.. I think that's all..so I guess not that much really has happened. Tomorrow I'm going with Laura to get her braces off though. She was utterly excited. Well I'm off..

Heavenly Father,

Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night, is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student,
balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.

Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.

Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment,
knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together.

Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.

"Do not spoil what you have, by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for."

THURSSSDay.

hm.. I woke up at about 7:30-8 ish and I was pretty darn bored. Laurs and I decided to go take a walk and we went to Dunkin Donuts and Dominick's-the best times of our lives yo.

I came back home and did like, nine loads of laundry with Uni. I was waiting for Laurs to call because we were supposed to work out today.

My sister and I went to my mom's work, dropped off some film, went to hobby lobby to go buy some paintbrushes, and then to Steak'n Shake. Our waiter was so adorable. He felt like, really embarresed when he asked my sister and myself if we were Chinese.

Anyway.. We went back to get my Jamaica Pics! Good stuff.

I came back home and Matt and I decided to go to the mall. It was fun stuff. We saw Sam there, which was awesome because I hadn't seen her for like, 2 and a half weeks..something like that.

I came back home.. and that's where I am now. I drank like, a whole Arizona Iced tea while writing this..is that bad?

I've gotta wake at like 8 tomorrow morning for Laur.. you better call me!

I just came back from Jamaica Today! What an awesomely amazing wonderful trip. The days were really long, but it was completely worth it. I thank God for the opportunity and everyone that helped me get on this trip.

We were supposed to come home last night, but our flight had a domino effect from our last flight being delayed. We missed our flight home and had to spend the night in the Miami Airport until 6 for our flight to Chicago at 8:00A.M. I came home this morning at like.. noonish? It's been a long last few hours.

When I came home I talked to Matt. I ended up going over to his house and hanging out for a while. We took like, a 4 mile walk..good stuff. I don't know how we manage to have something to talk about after 3 hours. ;)

I'm really tired and I think I'll be off to bed soon.. Call me guys!

School is officially OUUUUT.

Jamaica is in 60 hours..ish.

When I get back home, I'll be in Hoffman for a few more days..then I'm off to Streamwood. The closer and closer it comes down to it, the harder and harder it is to even think about. I never realized I'd be missing so many people.. and people would be missing me too. I remember moving from Bartlett to Hoffman.. it just sucked some major butt..and now it's the same thing.. again. I thought I always liked change, but maybe I don't.
