freshman day #29

Blessings.

It's been awhile. Like 3 days. But this is a long post. Sorry. You can skip the first two paragraphs if you want.

I'm pretty packed most my days. Or at least I've somewhat sunk in to having at least like an hour of procrastination again. A few more club applications and interviews; I'm guessing I sound pretty great on paper (praise God for that at least) because I'm always offered an interview, but then I always crash and burn in those. There's one tomorrow, so wish me luck/pray for me! Haha.

I had a long rant I could have given yesterday, but I decided I didn't really need to rave that much. But I will describe my reasoning still. In our required class for our Living Learning Center, we're supposed to talk about 'personal' stuff and 'get to know one another.' Pointless class, but yesterday we talked diversity and how we were supposed to 'get to know the international students from China.' They also compared India vs. Asian international students. INDIA VS. ASIAN. LIKE. ROFL.

There's more, but whatever.

TODAY'S STORY. Needs telling. So I practiced with A on my interviewing skills. He is quite knowledgeable and I thank him for being so very patient and so very very helpful. The very's are necessary. But we moved around locations and I left my blue pouch (with my ID, credit card, and campus access card) along with my bike lock key, outside on a bench. I didn't realize till we had finished, and when we went back, it was gone. PANIC ATTACK. STEPHANIE HYPERVENTILATION. I had to walk balk to my dorm and tell the center desk I lost my campus access card. And I had to face the realization that I would have to call my parents to cancel my credit card. But then I got an e-mail saying that someone had turned it in in the library nearby.

PRAISE THE LORD HALLELUJAH.

But you know what, I'm actually thankful I lost my things. Because it was in that instant, after questioning God why this had to happen to me, why in the world did I have to lose all my super important stuff, it all became better. God looks out for those who love Him. I haven't read my bible lately, though I am still steady in prayer, but He is still watching out for me. And it was like, working my "faith muscles", as S would say ;) So I knew, I could trust God with the same return of my most important belongings, and I could trust God for that interview tomorrow, and I can trust God with the results.

Things have been looking up. I have been having insane cravings for all things edible, but otherwise.

Apart from Epic on Sunday which I already talked about, I've found another club I could join, another international student that remarkably also speaks fluent English (they're seriously fascinating I tell you, fascinating) and I think it's going well. My first math exam was last Friday, hopefully that went well. (Why does my Statistics AP not cover that we are literally learning conditional probabilities/disjoint/independent events...) Praise God!

THE END.
