| I seem to gravitate towards xanga when I don't want to do homework. I'm surprised I don't have more entries. This quarter's been interesting. If anything, I would say the hugest thing is Harbor coming together. I mean, there's definitely a set group of the same people who hang out together...but at least we're hanging out together. The fellowship and getting to know people has been great. I mean, for sure there's still a lot of people I don't really know too well. I don't want to get to the point where I'm satisfied with knowing people on the surface. But if this were last year and I was telling myself just how involved in Harbor I was going to be...I would've laughed in my own face. So on Fridays after the Bible study, we usually break off into small groups. Last Friday, I was really blessed by my small group. It was just super open and honest, and I could really feel us leaning on each other for support and it was just awesome to hear us telling each other that we would be there for one another because we're brothers and sisters, and that's what we do in God's family =)
I haven't had as much alone time this quarter as I did last quarter. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. I guess I feel the need to be around people more. I don't get much done when I'm trying to "study" with friends, but at least I'm building up my friendships. Or at least, that's how I choose to see it. This quarter, our tv shows started. Mostly 24 and American Idol. But man...fun as those nights are, I need to start budgeting my time better. Because I end up not doing anything after we watch. Well..not nothing...just nothing school-related. I really should catch up on homework. Because there are still times when I just want to crawl under my covers and hide from the world and sleep for as long as I want without an alarm...and I never have time. One of these days...I'll find time. I love my bed. I miss it. I haven't slept in it in the past three days. But man...I miss tucking myself in so that there's no room for cold air to get into the blanket (nice soft down blanket, by the way), and waking up super warm and happy. Ok...I'm out of things to write about.

| As of tonight, I'm officially not a fan of Ralph's. Wasted almost 20 minutes of my life there (including trying to find parking). My night wasn't that great...so being the true Fatty (high school joke, don't worry...my self-esteem's ok =P) that I am, I went shopping. No...not at the mall. I went grocery shopping. Figures I turn to an entire store of food for comfort. If I had enough gas in my car, I would've gone to Costco. Anyways...what kinda grocery store doesn't carry the Arizona Iced Tea w/Ginseng and Honey?! Not only do they separate Arizona Iced Teas into TWO DIFFERENT AISLES across the entire grocery store...they did NOT have the flavor I wanted in either small OR large bottles. Two aisles! After I couldn't find it, I gave up and went to Vons. I should've gone there first. Ralph's doesn't have the comforting, country-style flooring for the produce and fruit that Vons does. It's colder. I need to shop at a place that's warm and homey. It's more than just a grocery store...it's practically a pasttime. I know...this rant is ridiculous. I know that it's more my frustration projected onto the institution that is Ralph's. But that doesn't really change my view of that dumb grocery store right now.
On a more random note...I'm trying to incorporate more change into my life. I think a huge start is changing what I order when I eat out, because I tend to order the same thing every time. So for those who eat with me...please keep me accountable to that =P I want to order at least one thing different each time I go out.

| I AM SHAKING WITH EXCITEMENT ABOUT TOMORROW'S (TECHNICALLY TODAY'S) MISSION BOWL! OMGSH. MY LEGS ARE JELLY. OMGSH. I FEEL SICK. DON'T WORRY. IT'S NERVOUS/EXCITED SICK. BUT I'M MORE EXCITED THAN NERVOUS. BUT WE'LL SEE ABOUT WHEN WE GET ON THE FIELD. OH MAN. AAHHJLJDLFKJSALFJAWEFOIWJO921U09DHOFVW!!! OK I HAVE TO GO SLEEP IN PREPARATION FOR A LONG DAY TOMORROW! I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I WAS THIS EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING! PLUS I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT THE GUYS ARE GONNA DO. NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, IT'S SUPER SWEET OF THEM TO BE THERE SUPPORTING US! GOOOOOOOOOOO HARBOR!!!

| Wow. Last Saturday's guys' Mission Bowl was SO MUCH FUN!!! This post will not do it justice. It went beyond just being there as a spectator, as support for my church. I honestly felt like I was part of a team. Before this, I felt like Harbor was very divided and sorta clique-y. Maybe that's partly my fault for not trying to get to know other people, and being comfortable in my bubble of friends. But the thing I love about Harbor's football teams (guys and girls) is that it feels like one team. It's not like there's a separate guys' and girls' team, even though we're playing on different weeks. It's just like one giant team. I really think football (and by this, I'm not saying the sport itself brought us together necessarily, but God using football) brought a lot of people a lot closer. We had a team dinner last Friday at Crazy Buffet and got our jerseys. They're so ridiculously nice. I slept in mine the night I got it. Saturday...man...there is seriously no way I can describe it. I miss being on a team. I really miss it. I miss getting dressed up in jerseys. It felt so awesome to be out there, all us girls wearing our royal blue jerseys while the guys wore matching jerseys on the field. We had so much energy, the whole 8 hours we were there (the guys came in second place...awesome job for our first year). The cheering, the jumping up and down. The playoff game was craaazy. So because of our mistake, the other team, Hope, got 2 points. So it was 2-0 with about 2 and a half minutes to go. With less than a minute left, Hope threw a bad ball near our endzone and Yuan intercepted it and ran straight in for a touchdown. Everyone on the sidelines (and on the field) went crazy! It was like being in a sports movie. I almost expected inspirational music to come on in the background.
Last Sunday, the girls had our last official practice. I was surprised and touched when about 8 or so of the guys showed up to help us with our practice and give us tips. It was really cool of them to stay the whole four hours. It's so encouraging just hearing all the girls talk about how excited they are for this Saturday's Mission Bowl. It's so funny because almost all the girls I've talked to can't concentrate on studying for midterms because all we can think about is football. Oh man...what are we gonna do when Saturday's over? I'm guessing we're gonna start practicing for next year =D Haha but yea...I'm really gonna miss those Saturday and Sunday practices every weekend. This Friday we're having another all-team dinner. Saturday's gonna be crazy. It's our first year, so we don't have experience, but I think Harbor's got more heart and energy than any other team out there. It's so much more fun because everyone's into it. In fact, I'm surprised at how into it I got compared to when I first started. But dang...I wouldn't give up the past couple of months for anything =P

| I need a change of scenery. I don't know why I can't go several weeks without one. Restless or something. The only good consistent thing right now is that I've been either working out, playing basketball, or practicing flag football 6 outta 7 days of the week. Ever since I got back to school =)
Only three weeks of the quarter have gone by and I'm already learning a lot about myself (oh shoot almost 3 weeks have gone by already). There's a freedom I desire. It's something I need to work on. Things have to change in the way I think. The first step is recognizing that things need to change.
I feel like I haven't seen a lot of people. And the beach...I miss the beach...
I'm feeling restless as I type this. Just one of those moments where I need to get away I guess.
