just to clarify, the day number is counted based on the days i'm here in ann arbor, even if it's for a few hours, but this does not include the days i'm in ny for break or whatnot.
I thought going back to NY for winter break was where I'll be hit with spiritual attacks and surely, there were a few. What my short-sightedness failed to realize was that the terror started back when I came back to Ann Arbor, the place where I thought was safe. I won't go into details but there were huge unrest with my heart as to my future and my relationships with people, started worrying a lot more, fearing of discomfort and what God will challenge me to do especially in the area of telling others about Christ, strong sense of laziness and even lack of purpose, feeling as if I have all the time in the world and not making the best out of each day, temptations of earthly desires and of materialism as if buying more stuff will make me feel like a new person, a better person.
Upcoming Events:
--talk with professor on Wednes about hopefully joining his research group
--aiv men's retreat friday to sat

p. day 122 dozen and half eggs with full bread and a gallon of milk
It's my last full day here at Ann Arbor for the semester. Don't worry, I'm not going to bore you with my semester reflection for it will take many pages to write. My last final was Tuesday night so I had W, Th, and F (today) all free. It's awesome to relax peacefully and to have time to pursue my other tasks and pleasures in life- to read and digest, learning about prayer and trying my best to put it into action though i've failed countless times, work on venus' present, sit back and enjoy some manga (though perhaps too excessively), to write more, organize my thoughts more, etc.
New York starts tomorrow (12/24) and ends briefly (1/3).

o. day 109 a month's planning
Classes are almost over. Just got through a tough academic week, which was stressful but enjoyable. Excited to finish, relax, then go back home. Only problem is that I can't find any records of my previously ordered plane ticket so I might have to book a new one or find a driver. No idea.
Highlights:
--getting slightly better at guitar.
--spent mad little money on food for November.
--Christmas Banquet with AIV was awesome. Met a good bunch of people too.
--developed new projects to work on
Today looks like:
-------Wake (includes qt, shower, and all that)
--Bball (with aiv ppl, prob last time of semester, or second to last)
-------Chill/Maybe do some hw (doubtful but possibly)
--Go watch baptism (two ppl from my life group and other the Harvest people)
--Dinner with life group (extremely excited to eat out cause i don't do so often)
--Vball (aiv and Harvest undergrads)
-------Chill/Maybe do some hw or more likely, sleep
