wow, what a social day. Woke up at 10:50. Went for my last RA interview which was the flomo field day. It was simply awesome. Had so much fun. Made me really reconsider east flo. I just might put it on top of my list. But i must pray first and make sure that I am doing it for the right reasons. I then went for a picnic with my house till 5. Took a quick nap. Went for Africa dinner at 8 (I went 30 min late but i had to wait for another 15 min, thats african time for you). Went to Jungeun's birthday and helped blow ballons for the prank that was going to be played on her. There were so many peeps blowing ballons(even profros). Makes me wonder what she did to generate so much enminity. I went back to Africa night for the party which sucked. Terrible DJ. I got to catch up with friends though so it was cool. I am not going to bed. By the way, i have to give props to Erin Hsu for giving me a TI-89. I feel so blessed. God is good. My bed calls to me now.

So my popular request (by me, myself and I), I will continue my post. You didn't think you will get rid of me that easily, did you? Let me tell you all about Saturday morning. I woke up at an unholy hour for my Frosoco interview. It was at 9:30am. I am sure i left the hammarskjold at like 8:30 but somehow i was still late. Phew, it was far. When we (the interviewees) were waiting for the interview to start, we started talking. The others were all friendly and laughing and having a good time, while i was still recovering from my journey. I even realised the CDs (RFs) were looking at me with some concern. I began to get worried that i was not being friendly enough. I mean i was trying, but those people were so friendly, I was beginning to get wierded out. Later on, i found out that they were all Frosoco peeps so they knew each other. No wonder, I felt much better after that armed with the knowlegde that i was amongst normal people. The rest of the interview went well. I had brunch at lag with some friends and went to my Vehicle Dynamics lab. That lab was awesome. We had to drive a mercedes that was rigged with sensors, and use it to do some fast double lane changes. It was in an empty parking lot with cones marking the lanes. I did 17mph first and did some smooth turning without clipping a single cone. Before i could even begin to congratulate myself, the TA was like "No, no, no that was bad, it was too smooth. You have make 90 degree turns only, you have to jerk people around". So i threw away all my safe driver instincts and went like 20mph, turn the wheel like a madman. It was great; the tires were screeching, the TA and my lab partners were being thrown around like rag dolls, but i only clipped one cone. I did it like 3 more times. I am glad i am an ME major. At 4, i went to church and it was packed. I did not even get a seat in the overflow room. After that the day got boring. Well i am off now. Leave a honk if you love Jesus. Shalom

Whew, what a week. Thank God its over for now. I was so busy that I had no energy left for blogging. I struggled to finish my 3 homeworks due by W,Th,F, respectively and also had 5 RA interviews at Flomo East, The Row, Frosoco, Cedro and Soto. I liked the Flomo and Frosoco ones the most. I am beginning to think that Frosoco might not be so far away after all. That place is nice. You know peaceful, quiet, lots of plants and trees; just like the countryside. It's like the California of Stanford. But then its very far. I am afraid that if i live there, I might get disconnected from my friends. I can just imagine it.
Kwasi: "Long time no see, come visit me sometime."
Friend: Yeah sure, how about dinner tomorrow, tell me where you live.
Kwasi: "Oh, in frosoco, we have some good food at Ricker dining."
Friend: "Oh man, i am sorry, i just remembered that I have a mandatory section".

My most interesting day was Friday. I had an ME140 group meeting after class, and i was supposed to have done some programming before. As an hour before the meeting, i had done nothing. I really didn't want to be the only one who had not done his work, so i skipped class and finished it in an hour. Ironically, I showed up at the meeting only to realise that I was the only one who had completed his part. That was a good feeling. For the first time in like forever, I was on top of things, the leader of the pack, the bastion order, the defender of the faithful, the last hope, the foundation, the trailblazer, THE ONE. Man, that I was walking tall. Opps, must have gotten carried away. Lets get back. So i picked up the slack and completed more parts of the project till 2pm, went to Math class, then to lab. Played basketball, took a 2 minute shower, went to the Cedro interview. Made dinner, went to the Soto interview.... I dont remember the rest cos i was too tired. Well this post is too long, so i will stop here. Ciao

I stayed up late again doing my RA applications. Went to bed at 4:30 and woke up at 9:50 for my 10:00 class. Was late to class as usual. Came back home, had some lunch, went back to work on my RA application. Finished it and turned it in at 1pm. Yay!! Hurray!!! no more staying up late(yeah right). But truly I am glad I am done with the written part of the application. It was quite demanding. When I was done i felt the adrenaline flow out of my body while the effects of 10 hours of sleep debt kicked in. Not a very good feeling. I still had to go for my math class though and come back to work on a group project. I was so tired, thus it was not surprising that we couldn't do the homework. Went to wine and cheese and then to the bulgarian party. Played Catan with John, Amit, Wilson and Maleche. Maleche won and pretended to be all cool about it, pretending to be casual but i could sense the elation in him since he would stop talking about how he came back from behind to win. Anyway its bedtime for me now. But wait, I am kind of hungry so i will go down to the kitchen and get some food (the joy of an open kitchen). Cheers amigos.

So i woke up late for my ME 227 class as usual. Quickly rushed to class and learnt some cool stuff about steering cars around curves. Problem was i did not understand any of the technical stuff the teacher was saying. That scared the heck out of me and made me form a study group immediately. Went swimming in the afternoon which was a lot of fun. My teacher is the coach of the men's water polo team so he is pretty good I believe that i will be doing laps pretty soon. Went to Math 52. Took a nap, had dinner, went IV, came back home and worked on my RA application. Dude that stuff is just too long. I wish i was done. Anyway enough of this boring stuff. Did some interesting things today like scare someone witless with a green giant statue. i also called my sister and sang her happy birthday. Man, i still sound boring, well i will try to make my next entry more interesting. But for now, I have to finish those RA applications. Cheers.

thoughts i put down after reading corinthians 13


Love is patient, love is kind, love does not boast nor is proud. Love is not rude or self seeking. Love does not keep any record of wrongs. Love is great. Love is easy to attain yet hard to find. Love requires commitment. Love is the way to go. Question, why as a Christian do I not walk the path of love. Why do I find it so hard to love the guy on the street. Why do I not love the homeless as much as i love my sister. Why do I not love frat boys as much as IV folks. Is love really that easily attainable. I really wonder. God is love and the source of love and all that is loving. As humans, we are capable of love but that love does not compare to the love that exists in God. The love of God is unsurpassed by nothing and defies comprehension. When I try to love, I try to do it by myself. I fail to realize that my love is imperfect at best and I should be drawing from the source. I fail to drink from the well that is Jesus. I fail to drink the cup that Jesus offers. Even at this point of realization, I still have a reluctance to accept God’s love. The desire to draw love from myself without God is too strong. That desire cannot remain. *Pause* *Pray asking for God’s love to flow*. God is faithful and does answer all our prayers. Always remember that its best to let God's love flow through us to others.
