...because I'm about to be too tired to really think soon enough.
Last night I drank a cup of coffee around 11pm. I went to bed at 12:30 and didn't have any trouble going to sleep. This morning I drank more coffee...and then promptly took a nap a mere 2 hours after getting up. That shouldn't happen...
What woke me up? Taking a break to make apple crisp for my roommate Maria's birthday. Fun and yummy!
1 Thessalonians 5:18- Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Random things/people to be thankful for today: Maria, ladders (without which I couldn't change a burnt out light bulb), ab muscles.

First Post!
Hello blog world!
After creating this blog over the summer so that I could have someplace to post about life...I promptly forgot about it and reverted to my xanga. Granted, I have a lot of posts there, but you'll never see them. At least not if you want to see what I've been up to the past...8 months or so.
Anyway, now that I'm done with classes and have only exams (*only* being a relative term. Condensing a whole semester's worth of notes from 4 classes into study-able material will not be a simple task) to go, I've decided to put this up. I'll get right back to outlining soon, promise.
Explanation of "heartofflesh": Ezekiel 36:26- And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
Why? A few months ago (ok more like 8), it was revealed to me that I'm not that tender hearted. For anyone who knows me, not much of a surprise. That's not necessarily how I want to be, and this verse promises that God can take my heart of stone and replace it with a heart of flesh- one that is soft and tender, one that seeks God and listens to His voice. I've been looking for that ever since, and slowly but surely, God's been faithful in chipping away chunks of stone, and placing flesh in its place.
Brief "About me" for anyone who doesn't know me (though, if you're reading this, you probably do know me...bear with me).
name:Siew
Age: 23
Occupation: Student (the only occupation where you spend rather than make money?)
Height: Short
Relationship Status: Taken (no, it's not on facebook)
Major: Law- 1st semester's classes = done :)
Interests: climbing, spending time with housemates, driving to Ann Arbor, spending time with boyfriend and other friends, climbing trees, attempting to be eternally optimistic and thankful...even in class.
"Religious views"- Christian.
Did I miss anything?
I plan on posting here at least once a...um...year. Yeah. Don't want to set my goals too high now.
Back to burying myself in a book.
