| Thanks everybody for the emails and phone calls and text messages and facebook wall postings...i felt so loved!
and a SPECIAL thank you to all you wonderful folks who decided to call and text me between the hours of 2:30am and 4:00am EST. i know its fun to call and say happy birthday at midnight and all but cmon folks midnight for in CA isn't midnight for me in NY! but i have to say being woken up by such lovely messages and phone calls was nice. and i have to admit i purposely didnt answer most of the calls cuz i really wanted to try to stay asleep but i really really do appreciate it 
God's bday gift to me was that today was my LAST DAY OF CLASS!!!!! no more Columbia! it's kinda weird, i don't think it's really hit me yet but some friends from school and i had a delicious dinner together to celebrate the end of classes as well as my quarter century bday. good food, good company, good times.
and then tomorrow night Edith comes, and then saturday Jenie comes and then wednesday Steeb comes and then sunday my parents come! oh the excitement!

changes...probably one of my least favorite things in the world...but there's been a lot of it lately for me
it's so funny, when you pray for something you know God's gonna answer but HOW He'll answer is just totally mind boggling sometimes. the past few months i've really been trying to earnestly seek Him out and to take His advice, to pray and petition Him and trust and have faith that He'll hear and answer ...and man He answered
sooooo I will be graduating and officially getting my MSW in a few weeks (May 19th)!!! I was really stressed about being able to find a job that i'd be able to start right away because once my school housing ended i needed to be able to afford an apt and stuff. so God totally hooked me up and i was able to secure a job 2 weeks ago which is a tremendous blessing cuz i was really only praying to have a job by the end of May. and they want someone to start right away, which is waht i need, so i'll be starting my new real paying social work job after memorial day! AND when i met with the supervisor for the interview, she gave me a brochure that listed the salary and all the benefits and she just said that all the info i needed was on the brochure. the salary wasn't bad but i was hoping for a little higher (about 3,000 higher) so when i was offered the position i asked if the salary was negotiable at all and she said that it wasn't but that she realized after i left that she gave me an old brochure and that the salary is actually an amount that comes out to about 3,000 more! so crazy...
then i needed a place to live and someone to live with because there's no way i can afford to live here alone. praise God that my friend jungwon from back home just happened to be in the same predicament as myself. she's been out here the same time as me and will be graduating around the same time as me too so we decided to look for a place together which was great. but man apt hunting in NY is NOOOOOO FUN. seriously, i dunno how people do it. i never want to look at craigslist again. all my friends from work and school were telling me that they had to do hardcore searching (and when i say hardcore, i mean HARDCORE) for about a month before they got a place and often times it wasn't even their first choice. but God is good and He so graciously spared us the torture of an extended search and we got an apt after only really a week of "hardcore" searching. it's within budget (NY budget, not CA budget...i'm WAY over CA budget), good area, convenient commute to work, clean and both jungwon and i really liked it right away.
so here i am writing from my new apt, awake at 1:00AM because it feels weird being here alone (my roommate isn't moving in for another 2 weeks). but i'm excited. this is the official start of my life in NY. i don't really count the past 2 years just cuz i feel like i was here with a school mindset, living semester to semester, vacation to vacation...but from this point on i have to live my life Jan-Dec instead of Sept-May and the only "breaks" i'm gonna be getting are whatever holidays come up. so weird...no more going home every winter, summer, and spring break. it's definitely going to be an adjustment but God has proven Himself to be faithful over and over again and as i've been growing and understanding more who my Father is, it really is a great source of comfort and i'm anxious to see what He's got planned for me 
but i know i've been missing a lotta weddings, and bridal showers, and birthdays, and other stuff that i want to be a part of...as much as i'm excited about my stuff, trust me i wish i was there with you guys celebrating all your stuff. know that i'm dying to be there...i'll just have to live vicariously through facebook pictures for now 
adios!
