in your dreams

I have been having the weirdest dreams these days. I usually have dreams that are pretty out there but they've been occuring on a daily basis. My dreams consist of kidnappings, weddings, being chased, murders, umass, and so much more. I wake up on certain mornings with tears welled in my eyes. They're so vivid and I seem to be able to recall every single little detail as if the events really did occur. I'm actually scared to fall asleep on certain nights in fear of the scary events that await me in my dreams. Maybe I just need to pray more before I go to bed each night.. 

pee.ah.no

One of my goals for summer is to re-teach myself how to play piano. I took lessons when I was in 6th grade that cost my family a fortune. What do I remember from my lessons? NADA! I never practiced and hated every lesson. I really regret not being a good daughter and listening to my mom. I remember her telling me that I would regret quitting but I thought "PSSHHH YEA RIGHT!! crazy woman" I recently told my mom that I wanted to learn again and she chuckled with an evil grin. Mamas always right :P

So I've been trying to play The Luckiest by Ben Folds and Kiss the Rain by Yiruma. My fingers don't stretch out the way they used to my hand gets so tired. Hopefully by the end of summer, I'll be able to play both songs beautifully :)

pssst!

Did you know that you can purchase a can of instant spray shampoo called "Psssssst ?" I found out about the amazingness of shampoo in can through a friend of mine. It's  such a genius invention that comes in handy in so many situations. I remember going camping last year and having the nastiest oily hair because I wasn't able to shower. If only I had this spray shampoo last year.. then maybe I'd still have friends. hehe I just keed!

Friday officially marked the end of my Sophomore year of college. I still cannot believe that I will be a Junior in September. Where did all the time go? I'm still supposed to be a freshman :( My birthday is slowly creeping up and it's so surreal that I am finally entering my 20's. I always pictured myself being  mature and sophisticated in college.. but I'm still such an immature little child :P 

Today, I went to Osaka in Northampton with the trio :) We were actually supposed to go to Minado in Natick but it ended up not working out. I've spent so much money on food this past week. I ordered food everyday for the past three days. Thursday: La Piazza Friday& Saturday: Wings I feel so.. large and poor right now. I also do not have a job this summer so I'm going to be super poor. I was really worried about what my plans would be for the summer because all the jobs that I applied for during spring break didn't call me back. Every summer, I'm either abroad on missions or working full time so I was actually scared of staying home all summer doing nothing. I recently found out that God had been preparing something for me this whole time! I got an internship at New Christian Academy!! It's a preschool located in Palisades Park that runs a summer program for little children. I.AM.SO.EXCITED. I'm kind of bummed that it's a non-paid internship but still am so grateful for this opportunity because i LOVELOVELOVE children :) I  have to decide soon as to whether I want to do the Early Childhood Program or the Elementary Program so it works out perfectly. I feel like this experience will definitely help me decide as to what age group I want to teach in the future. All this time, I haven't been thinking about my future but God has been planning every little detail. God is so good :) 

I'm leaving UMass in 2 days and it makes me really sad thinking about it. I know that summer at home will be very relaxing and fun but I'm definitely going to miss this place and the people here. I have definitely enjoyed the past two years here at UMass and thank God everyday for placing me here. I'm learning more and more everyday that God really has a purpose for my being here. I've learned and changed so much through the experiences that I've been blessed with here in the state of Massachusetts. I'm so excited to see all the amazing things that God will reveal to me in the years to come.
