Matters on a. Mandar's Heart

It's my night of "sin" before leaving for a mission trip- how ironic.
Last night can be officially marked as my first night of clubbing- Christian clubbing that is...and i had a blast! It's really about your intentions..if you're going to meet random people or if you're going to dance and have fun with your friends. For the 8 of us that went, i believe it was for the latter. A major reason i had so much fun was due to the presence of the Carter brothers- thanks babe! ..and my baby's brother =) ...these guys have some CRAZY moves. Oh goodness...and mic tried to teach me some but what can i say...i'm a simple chinese girl with no rhythm. Another reason it was fun was due to the help of a little (or a few cups of) -OH. It losened everyone up and we all got into it...yay! =)
Thank you guys so much for accompanying me last night- I had so much fun.

Continued- 3am
Tears and more tears.
Thanks guys- but do realize that the nicer you are to me, the more scared i am to leave...cuz i'm so comfy and safe here. Ahhh...why can't y'all be more sucky.

I got into UTM. I guess i should be happy..it's always better to get accepted than rejected. But i'm not sure what this means..i think i'd rather go to Mac than UTM...only b/c Irene and Zhong at there..so at least i know SOMEONE. At first, i was kind of excited about this moving and transfering...now that it's closer and more part of reality, i'm not so much. I love the relationships i have with those from TCAC (i'm not saying this cuz you guys surprised me tonite)..and i love serving in the areas i'm serving at TCAC..i really don't want to have to find another church.. Lord pls. I'm also content with UTSC..not exactly having the time of my life...but there's my babe..there's andrea ..oh and geoff..LOL
But i guess the big thing holding me back is more so church than school. Because i know those relationships at school can still be maintained..however it's more difficult to find another home where i feel so comfortable to worship and serve. I guess at the end, i want my will to conform to His- Lead me Lord and help me to trust.
We should know by tuesday whether we're moving. If so, the letter of confirmation for the acceptance will be mailed by this friday
. I'm nervous.

I'm so tired. I feel like i'm tipsy except i'm just really really tired.
Forgot to get some gravol.. sigh..so my strategy is to be really really tired for tomorrow so i would sleep all the way there. Hoepfully.. prayerfully..without throwing up that is.
