School's in!

hi all. coming to you live from brown university, rhode island. school started yesterday. and hoo. getting used to the swing of things once again. and shopping for classes. (which is not as shiok as it sounds, though it is pretty sweet.) so it's been quite awhile since i blogged and it's been a nice long summer.

since i got back here to school, i've been working on planning the year ahead for RUF (Reformed University Fellowship - christian fellowship. if you want to know more, visit www.rufbrownrisd.org) there's alot of change going on cos the pastor-in-charge is leaving to plant a church. and there's alot of transistion going on. it's probably hard to explain, but the workings of a university fellowship is (or seems) so different from ministry within the church, though we ARE a ministry of the church. a branch sort of. but through all this change, despite transistion pains and all, i'm learning alot. to love when i don't feel like loving and to serve when i don't feel like serving. reaching freshmen is one of the things going on now. and i'm kind of awkward when it comes to meeting new people and being real, being myself. i tend to put up this 'nice' mask. and though i hope i'm nice anyway, i think the 'nice' mask is a fake one, and that's not v nice. and i was SO suspicious of people when I was a freshman. especially the nice ones. haha. oh well. awkwardness is sort of a part of life.

but aside from all that, i'm happy to be back with my friends.. i miss them when i'm home. and i miss my friends at home when i'm here. i guess you just can't have the best of everything. to people i've promised pictures to, i'll get around to it. and i will also take a couple of pictures of my new room when it's all set up. it's still in the 'v messy but functional' stage. and i want to put up the flickr thingy so people can see pictures. nana email me/tell me how to on msn. :) (you know i love you, i'm really not just using you for your technological capabilities.) oh well, i've got a dinner date w my friends soon... so cheers all, i hope everyone's doing alright. my love to all.
