Yesterday was National FOG (freshmen of God) Day for Living Water . I’m sure everyone enjoyed it! Too bad some people had to miss out . It was good lol. Then my small group went karaoke , ahh that was fun too lol.

This morning, I woke up early to go jogging with Sean lol. I’m SOOO glad that when I told him I could run for a long time, he told me not to in the beginning lol, because today, our “short” run was painful haha. It was so cold that my teeth felt like they were going to fall off lol. , he said not many people in my age group do triathalons, so it might be easy for me to win a prize! YAY! haha This is so funny, yesterday, we talked about athletes who train to get the prize in a Biblical sense . lol Anyway, went to Living Water Basketball practice, and that was insane, everyone’s so good lol. I jammed my finger ouchie lol, I hate jamming my finger because it takes so long to heal and I always feel disabled haha. Pray for a speedy recovery haha thanks. Otherwise, practice was awesome.

The practice lasted… 3 hours lol. There were the crazy ones who still didn’t leave after 3 hours… they’re insane haha. Crazy fit. Anyway , I took a long nap! YAY! Got some math hw done, went to work, and started my essay . Yayyy. Mina called, w00t w00t!! lol Another friend from home to talk to for some time , it was good.
I’m happy.

God is good!

Soo gets special mention on my xanga today . Thanks for your random texts and calls.  Soo you are too good to me . I love being reminded of home, and whenever someone from back home calls, I get happy .

There is also another guy who deserves special honors on my xanga today. A Cab driver in NY, Osman Chowdhury. A woman had left 31 diamonds in a bag when she left the taxi and only tipped the guy 30 cents. The cab driver found the diamond bag and actually went through the troubles of returning to the lady! He went back to the initial location that he had dropped the woman off at, then called the # on the bag. He said, “I’m not going to take someone else’s money to make me rich. I don’t want it that way.” He also said, “I’m proud of what I did so that people know NY taxi drivers are honest.”
This man deserves tremendous respect. But do you know what’s even worse? We’re amazed at his honesty. It shows how corrupt the world is today. Why be amazed at something that SHOULD have been done? It should happen all the time. He also is a good role model . I like this guy.

I know I haven’t been good about staying in contact with my friends back at home, and I’m truly sorry about that. I miss everyone though. For some reason, I think I’m not setting my priorities straight. Everytime I talk on the phone or whatnot, I feel as if I am wasting valuable time, when in reality, I’m wasting valuable time by NOT speaking to my friends at home.

I’m in a calmed but weird mood. I don’t like it lol.
I’m normally hyper.
I love Living Water Fellowship , you guys do wonders

Jesus Rules!

One thing I learned in Philly.

When it’s a beautiful sunny day from the inside, it’s really freezing cold frostbiting (haha get it.. okay bad humor) weather. However, I woke up to snow so YAY

But they always destroy our snow by throwing salt all over the place. But it’s…to make us not slip lol.

My physics teacher told me today when handing back exams, “I’m surprised Young, I thought you would do much better. Maybe you froze up.”
lol. CRAP. At least she knows my name lol. There are perks of going to office hours , except this time, it didn’t help my grade , oh well. 2nd round of midterms, I will have to do exceptionally well to bring up these horrors that just happened in the past 5 days lol.

Hyun just stopped by my room to do an amazing thing . Mad props to Hyun! wooo! haha

I love reading books for fun. I’m turning into a nerd. Reading when I don’t have to.. whoa . I like.

JESUS RULES~!

Pheww.. lol

Today was just crazy insane hardcore.

Pre-med? Engineering? Liberal arts?
hmm lol, so many choices, easier paths, etc.

Why does everyone here think that everyone here is so smart? lol like, “I’m sure you did fine, you’re smart, you’re here.” etc lol.
It’s so not true.
But why IS everyone else so smart here?!
haha
Being a student here is too crazy >.< lol

So life’s cool. It was AMAZINGLY COLD outside. Like.. oh man.. I felt like I was going to die lol. I went on weather.com and it was “feels like -10 degrees) , negative degrees = …. haha.

So.. didn’t do so hot on my math and chem exams today. Ahhhhh

I’m just stalling again lol.

Jesus Rules

I was right about the Colts winning , yay.

I always thought that I wasn’t a quitter. College is continually trying to prove me wrong. lol
Endure, rahhhhhhhh.
I’ve been a bad student. So I probably deserve this.

I was wondering why they started the Superbowl so late this year. Then I figured out…I’m on the East Coast now lol. I miss the west, good ol’ westt. It’s best in the west, lah lah lah hahah.

Okay, so Mr. uh oh Young Yim is learning 4 1/2 weeks of chemistry lectures in one day because he was dumb and didn’t do any of the work/reading for it until.. well… 3pm today. But…

I will not quit .

WOoo, I can’t wait til AFTER tomorrow lol.

Jesus is awesome .

AHhh lol, so last night I went to restaurant week. Brasserie Perrier, which is supposed to be this crazy sister-restaurant of one of the most prestigious/well-known French restaurants in the world. So, I expected mucho greatness lol. It was good , just not as great as I expected it to be haha. I really like my purple tie though buaha.

Karaoke didn’t go out as planned because their English system was dead . So, I had a late-night convo w/some cool kids at Harrison Lounge . That… lasted til 5:15am >.<, soo bad lol. Charles stayed the night and…a fire alarm woke us up >.< . Went to the bed again lol and wah lah… MY DAY = STUDYING lol.

Since I’m screwed for Chemistry on Monday because I am a hardcore slacker and horrible student (you guys shouldn’t see me as a role model lol), I am going to be either 1.) Cramming hardcore, or 2.) Looking like a total idiot for the hour and a half. Therefore, I’m working hard to at least look smart on my math exam >.< lol.

SOOo, since Sunday can’t be spent on watching the SuperBowl, which I believe every man has a right to do (and women too lol), I will be studying like a loser . Therefore, I will use my psychic powers and….

YAYAY!
 

 SUPERBOWL!!!

Yup, there we go . I’m celebrating the win ahead of time

Now pray for me as I sit and grow facial hair trying to understand this weird topic I call.. chemistry >.<.

Oh and it’s amazing. I… never really thought they would blame global warming… but now that 130 scientists from all over the world confirm it…. it makes me wonder lol. I think it’s going to be a new turning point in the way industry will run.

Jesus Rules~!

Wooo exam cramming always makes me homesick haha.
I called my mom last night, and she made me laugh Yay.

I’m addicted to reading Ender’s Game, that I don’t want to read any of my writing seminar assignments lol.
Physics tomorrow…woohooo lol.

Jesus rules~!

By the way, don’t feel obligated to donate (underneath) , I’m raising money. We’re all students, and students aren’t rich and I totally understand that lol. However, if you have the urge to help fund research on cancer go ahead and donate. Do it out of your will not the pleading of mine Thanks! lol

————————————————-

Because cancer has affected us all in one way or another, I have decided to participate in the American Cancer Society’s RELAY FOR LIFE. I am asking you to support me in this effort by making a donation to the American Cancer Society.

To give you a quick overview, Relay for life is an event occuring on University of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field March 30-31. Relay for life honors those who have any experience with cancer, whether they are survivors, relatives, or caregivers. My team will be walking the track for 12 hours with hundreds of people fighting for this same cause. This 12 hour event raised over 300 millions dollars last year (from around the world of course). My target goal is $150 in donations. All proceeds go directly to the organization.

This is a tax deductible donation (501(c)3) and ANY amount that can be donated is appreciated.
You do NOT have to be a Penn student to donate. In fact, this event happens in cities and campuses all over the country!

Visit the event website at http://www.acsevents.org/faf/r.asp?t=3&i=190251

please copy/paste the link below to give your donation! Even 1 dollar is enough!
(If you cannot donate online, there is a printable page for check donations)

- Young Yim

I wonder how music is so meaningful to people. Tranquility niceee.

I smile a bit too much lol. But smiling is contagious and I’d rather see everyone else smiling, then it can exponentially grow WEEEEEE (that’s like, YAY but cooler) lol. Anyway, I wonder how my constant smiling will affect me in my job/school/scholarship/internship interviews. Heck, I remember when Channel 8 news interviewed me about my opinion on high-school starting times at a board of education meeting, and I couldn’t wait to see myself on TV. When I finally did, I saw me with a BIG FAT smile on my face the whole time while I was speaking. I thought I looked high! My words, “I love it.” were like.. I love it and you probably couldn’t even understand me because of the smile. People could’ve taken me as a joke! lol. I wonder if people laughed at it though , because I laughed at myself too haha. I hope it was contagious haha.

I couldn’t even keep a normal face while talking lol.

AHhh okay, that was a random “i don’t wanna do hw” blog .

I feel so screwed. I also feel so stupid for not starting work earlier. Oh well , better now than never. lol Prayers are appreciated .

Jesus Rules~! Yippeeee.

Okay, so I take back ANYTHING bad I ever said about Penn.

I LOVE IT buahaha lol. I think I just needed time to adjust… and get that dumb Intro. To Bioengineering AKA eat all your time up class out of the way and WAH LAH lol. LIFE exists here!
So I didn’t do as bad as I expected, with the exception of one class, which… I deserved anyway lol.
The people are amazing, I am having a fabulous time, AND being productive woohoooo.
I got a guitar and have an AWESOME teacher *.^ Jon haha, and I went rock climbing and Stef taught me how to belay, so got a belaying certificate w00t w00t lol. THose are my highlights haha.

Also, it has snowed a couple of times, but.. apparently not too much. I’ve been numb to the face, and the thought that my ears would fall off any second is always lingering, but I LOVE IT haha . I get to retain my room for next year woohoo, and I always have something to do.

Melissa is visiting Penn tomrrow w00t w00t.

Next week…when exams start popping up and I say ANYTHING bad about Penn, don’t listen to me haha.

JESUS RULES~!

Wow, so today was the happiest I have ever been this whole year (I know it’s only been 12 days haha).

I think I’ve totally fallen in love with my brothers and sisters in Living Water Fellowship . Their warm welcomes, cheerful and inviting faces, and soft true loving hearts make me insanely joyous! The happiness spread from my ears (literally… haha my ears were red) into the deepest parts of my heart and it brightens my life here at Penn. Today, I felt like a different man, totally free from the accumulated stress I would build up here and free from the worries that constantly inhibit me from experiencing the new and exciting opportunity that God has given me in Philly. I think today, I was the “Young” that I felt like disappeared after the first week of orientation. I sure missed myself and it was great to be back. (I know this is so melodramatic but I’m being creative here! And sincere! lol)

So today we went over testimonies in our small group. It’s amazing to know the before/how/after stories of how my friends came to have a relationship w/Jesus. I think their testimonies helped me a lot. Also, I am extremely proud of Olivia, Enid, Sam, and Mark who led praise and shared their newly found knowledge from Urbana. It takes heart and courage and a strong love for Christ to do that . Yay lol

So this week, I’ve been convicted of my actions and time with Christ. I’ve definitely fallen away and I’ve felt a disconnection between Jesus and me. After I noticed my status, I didn’t do anything to fix it. I just acknowledged it, yet convinced myself that I’d be okay and went through the busy days like nothing had changed. But this week, my brothers and sisters in Christ, through Christ have shown me where I have gone wrong and what the glory of God can do for each and every one of us. For that, I am thankful.

I’m in love  

God is love –

Sarah Y said something today that hit me (or something similiar to this lol):
“They loved me not because they needed me but because of their love for God which resulted in love for me.”

I leave on a happy note

Jesus Rules~!
