The Cadenza Focus

Hi,

Tuesday.

My plan to wake up early has backfire. I guess i needed the extra sleep. I woke up around 11am. Shower then lunch.

After lunch, i was in-sync in completing my study guide for two of my classes. Music and English.

These two are my last two exams of the semester. I already secure two classes by getting an A in both of them. Hopefully, both these two exams tomorrow will help me get sure A too.

I'm not confident that i would get an A in both classes but i'm very confident i'll get a sure B in both of them. 3.5 GPA is pretty alright for this semester.

However, i'm determine to get an A in all my classes.

I have been going back and forth with studying and cleaning my room. I did not realize i have so many stuff to pack up. The worse thing is that i have to finish all the packing and cleaning by tomorrow night at 11pm. Because there is a white-glove check-out. This check out is ensure that the room is clean for next year semester students to use it. Yea, i know, i'm not coming back to same room. i cannot pick the same room because the school housing department do not allow students to use the same room. Also, i'm moving to another room because i'm under a different leadership (RA and SLD) next semester.

I thank God that i have friends that stay off campus. They allow me to put my stuff at their place for the summer. That's good huh?

I wish i could stay off campus too but then that would lead to getting a car, bills, etc. I like staying on campus. I just wish i have more scholarships. i can go on with the list of wishes that i want here in US but another time.

Anyway, i better get back to studying. Please do pray for me. I need the total focus now and clear understanding of the material. I really want to ace this two exams. Pray that i would have much energy tomorrow, mental power to study and strength the whole day. I think i would be from 7am to very late tomorrow. My exam starts at 8am for music and 330pm for English. Great timing huh? The time is the good time to sleep some more. grr...So do pray for me alright. Till then nighty night.

Music.

Posterize Oneself

Hey,

Monday.

History exam went really good. The exam was right on similar to the study guide. So i just zoom pass everything like 10 minutes and i was done. Of course, i made sure that i put the right answers and checking to be sure.

I'm save to say that i have two A for two classes. Sweet.

Two more exams to go.

After the exam i took today, i went to the computer lab to study on my next exam. I will have two on Wednesday. One at 8am and the other at 33pm. It will be long day.

I sought of finish studying at 5pm. I went back had dinner.

Now i'm packing up somethings here and there. I have to many stuff. I don't know how to pack. All this packing is reminding me of home already. I'm so excited. Excited like a child ready to open his present.

Do continue to pray for me alright. Every time i took the exam this year, i feel confident and ready. It has greatly touch me. Do really pray for me. The last lap is usually the hardest. The last two exams are Music and English. This two are quite tough even though i'm doing well in both of them.

Tomorrow i will be studying for my English with some friends and hopefully get the chance to clean my room up too. So till then nighty night. Don't forget to pray for me. =)

Total Focus Need/Required

Hey,

Sunday. Busy day. First of all, Happy Mother's Day.

To my mom, hope you are during great in China. Will be praying for you. Take Care. Love JPT.

My day started off quite well. I did some studying in the morning. This History exam, i hope that i would do well. I think i'm taking this exam to hard on myself. A little bit stress on this exam. Why? because i want to get an A in this class.

Besides studying, i went out to release my stress by going to my friend's place. I hang out there most of the day. Did my laundry there and went out with my friend to eat lunch. We went to burger joint near the school. It's called Hardees. It is like a McD just the burger is better (i still like McD though).

Later we came back and i just hang out like played games.

In the evening, i went to church. A special church. This church service was for all the prayer leaders (PL), spiritual life director (SLD), Resident Assistant (RA) and Resident Director (RD). This service was to acknowledge us for your services this semester and to pray for us next semester too. It was good. Well there was no sermon but just advice for the future. Good stuff.

next semester i'll be together with the same group of people but different hall with new RA and SLD).

Now i'm back, tired, little stress. Need to study a little bit more. I need to get an A for my History class. Alright, i better get studying. Do please pray for me this last few day especial for tomorrow. This exam period is really high intense. I so want to do well. Do pray that i will have total focus and energy too. After this history exam, i would have two more to go on Wednesday. Okay, i really better get studying. Do pray for me alright? Till then nighty night.

Concentration Most Needed

Hi,

Saturday.

I did not do much except study my History exam. The exam seems pretty easy as the teacher gave out a study guide. Me and my friends studied this exam together the whole day. Making sure we got all the answers down and understanding the history.

I think i would do this exam pretty well. Do pray for me.

I cannot wait to go back home. It is just another 8 days left. This is so exciting.

I had to start cleaning the room. I did some cleaning today. A little in fact. But on Monday and Tuesday there will be some major moving of furniture and really cleaning.

I'm a little stress about cleaning the room cause my roommate/SLD still have some stuff in the room which causes me to not how to being. I think i will deal with my stuff first.

The school coming to a close. I think this year i was more involve with my American friends and much focus on studies. Yes, of course, my walk with God had been so ever changing. God in His insist to keep pushing me to know Him better. Creating paths that are His for me to take to gain new truth about my God. Total blessing. My offering is my studies and my body (as in mind and body). Making sure i'm doing well in class and taking care of my body too.

After being in this school for more than a year, i still think that i'm dreaming. I cannot believe that God has brought me here to study and learn new things. This is truly God's Work in disguise through my parents, friends, and prayers.

I'm for sure i can say that Proverbs 3:5-6, Trust in the Lord with all our heart, and lean not on your own understand, in all your ways acknowledge God and He shall direct your path.

Powerful verses. And a really truth for me. I'm still in shock for what God has done for me. Truly amaze. I do still hope and pray that God will continue to open door here for me to continue to study here. Do still keep me in your prays regarding financial like trying to get a job, scholarship and so on.

One good news is that the school has increase my scholarship for next semester by 1k. Thank you God. Yea.

Anyway, i want to get back to my studying of history. The exam is on Monday at 10am. Pray that i will get enough sleep, totally focus and what i have study would come to full realization to understand the question and knowing the answers.

Alright, Sunday is tomorrow is going to be great cause there is a leadership church/party to attend. It is just to thank us for the work we done and some input on next year plan. Okay, i better study, so till then nighy night.

Oh tomorrow is Mother's day. Do pray for your Mother (you should be praying for them everyday though). Mother's are the most caring people, they love to see their child succeed in life. The best thing about Mother is their protective instinct. Really powerful. They are so caring that they would go to great lengths for you. Even though they scold you, spank you, and so on but deep down they do it out of love. So pray for your Mother.

Focus,

Did You Know Moment!

Hi,

Friday.

I woke up early today just do some studying for my Art exam. So far in this class i'm doing pretty well. I had brunch. My Art exam was at 1pm, so there was plenty of time to study.

The exam today was super easy, really easy. There was 22 questions and it was pictures and definitions.

I ask the teacher to check my score on the exam and did well like 100%. Crazy huh?

Anyway, the most important thing is that for this Art class, i got an A. That would look good on my GPA.

Later i went to workout. Short workout.

Came back. Had dinner. Sleep.

Now, i'm watching the NBA playoffs. Tomorrow i will be studying for my History exam which is on Monday. Do pray for me. I'm having an low A in this class. So if i do well in this exam i will get an A in the class which will look good on my GPA. Anyway, do pray for me but till then nighty night.

Something Special You Want to Forget

Hi,

Thursday.

No class because today is reading day. Today is like a day off from classes and to get students to be ready for finals on Friday and coming week.

Well actually reading day for every student is party day. There was a party going on today at where i stay.

Many Americans hanging out by the pool. They trying to get a tan. There was like loud music, games, and barbecue food.

I did join them for awhile. Like 2-3 hours. Then is off to study.

Having an exam tomorrow. Art exam. It seems pretty easy because there is a lot pictures to memories and few terms. However, i just really want to do super well in this class.

Do pray for me okay. You know my exam days. Just pray that i have full total focus and do my very best.

In the night, i went to play some basketball to release some tension and stress. Just do some cardio and gym then trained basketball. Is really hard to train back my usual shooting and game from lower back injury. My lower back has been great recover yet if i over play my back gets a bit stress.

Anyway, i have to get back to studying. Focus. So till tomorrow, nighty night.

Home,

The Boiler Room

Hey,

Wednesday.

Exams are cooking up. Well here is my exam days...

Friday, May 7th is my Art exam (i'm just a little bit scary over this exam)

Monday, May 10th is my History exam (i'm pretty alright with this exam)

Wednesday, May 12th is my Music exam and English exam (i'm quite alright with music but English not to sure)

So do pray for me this whole week. I'm just going to be studying throughout this week. Really need your prayers. Seeing my grade today and being thinking that i might be getting all Bs unless i really do well in my final exams. All of them. Maybe my History may get an A.

Besides from exam, my day had been quite alright. I woke up pretty early. I thought that i had a early morning meeting with my new RAs and SLDs for next semester. I was wrong. The meeting was tonight at 8pm.

Well i took this quite good. It gave me time to do an extra credit paper for my English class. In which doing this paper will for sure secure me a high B and if i do well in the final, i might get a A. Not sure how things are going to be anyway. Is all in the Lord's hands now.

Classes today was light. May of the teachers were understandable that exams are here already. So many of them just did like a QnA session.

The meeting that was tonight went super well. The meeting was just to get to know each other and build relationship with the other prayer leaders and RAs and SLDs. My next semester seems very bright that i'm looking forward to it.

But now i cannot wait to go back home. I really want to go home badly. Everyday, just running through pictures of friends at home and family. Ah how i miss people.

Anyway, tomorrow is reading day which is just an off day, no more classes. And art exam on Friday. Scary. However excited...i think is 10 days left till i'm home. So close yet seems so far.

I'm going to bed. Been a long day, so till then nighty night.

Cook,

You Found Me

Hi,

Tuesday.

My day started quite alright. I did not have much sleep. So i was a bit little grumpy. The first thing that i did was get my new ID card. I'm so excited to get it. The school was showing previews of it. And looks super cool. Really cool.

From this, it kind off strike me that CBC once/when/if becomes a big church with many facilities (like having indoor courts, gyms, school, and so on) then members of CBC should get ID cards. Awesome man.

Anyway, i took some pictures of my new card. Here it is...

Here my new ID card. Cool huh?

The ID card is called Flames Card or Flames Pass.

Anyway, today there was a special convocation. It was the last one of the year. This convocation was more to relate to American people. Because today they had to elect someone into office for Virginia. And of course, the school chancellor and spiritual leaders say their thanks you and prayers for us students.

Today i did not really do much. I mostly hang out with friends. I wanted to play basketball but that somehow did not work out for me.

Currently now, i'm working on my extra credit paper for my English class. I just want to make sure that i get a good score in this class. So tomorrow will be my last class and then exams will start on Friday. Scary yet exciting. Step closer to coming home. So near. Alright till then nighy night.

Peekapoo,
