i've been really into psychology lately.. its really interesting and i've been listening to wnyc's radiolab podcast.. its like sciency but its so interesting.. you can find them on itunes but they have a website too.. they study words, limits of the human body, time, the science of sound behind the destruction of the wall of jericho, etc.. (so far these were the ones ive listened to..).. the jericho one is more physics oriented but its still really interesting..
isaac newton must have been a SUPER GENIUS to figure out the law of motion f=ma in 24 hours not knowing anything about physics ... listen to the limits podcast..
science is pretty interesting.. i wonder why i've hated on it so much for the past years..

happiness
for a while certain things made me really happy when i saw (it/thing), but lately whenever i revisit those things they don't seem as great as i thought them to be. i mean those things are still great.. it just feels like i've lost .. something..
maybe happiness changes as i get older..
the things i find that bring me some type of joy are slowly changing to things that i find are more applicable to me.. to who i am.. to what i do..
current things that make me really happy:
-a GOOD, solid, clear concept
-GOOD, solid, clear floor plans
-beautiful architecture
-open interior layouts that i can imagine
-adolf loos
-clean models
-being able to look back on parts of my last semester and say that i don't regret it because i worked really hard and attempted to learn as much as i could from my professor
-starbucks
-sleep
-easy computer games like rainbow blocks
-food that makes me not full but content
-classical music
-being able to be there for people who NEED me
sigh.. i've been really lonely..
maybe i've been away from home for too long..
or maybe i've been listening to too many sad songs and songs about love that remind me of how single i am and the fact that i have a hard time relating to those songs... -___-;;;

memories
keeping a blog is interesting because it allows me to be able to look back on my thoughts and feelings of exact moments during a certain periods in my life... its like an online time machine.. remembering memories is like going through my own personal time machine.. funny how i'm learning about memory in my psychology class right now... psychology has a purpose..
japan was hit by a tsunami this morning (i think this morning) but last summer i wrote a post about a vision i had from God about japan in india here i watched cnn's video during my lunch break today also here and i was so devastated, scared, upset, but mostly surprised at how similar the incident looked to my dream.. of course in my dream the wave was much bigger.. but the disaster was almost the same (different location).
i feel like its God's time now for japan.. my prayers go out to japan and all of those who were affected by this incident.. during indonesia and haiti's events it was hard for me to relate.. but i feel like because japan is our neighbor (and because of my dream) i feel like i am more emotionally connected to this event than i have with any other traumatic world event..
pray for japan. pray for revival. pray that God would use me in whatever way He needs me now. it is His time.

tomorrow is my first midterm
and i'm not studying...
google translator is awesome.
story of my korean name... apparently (before my family became christian) my great grandma went to a fortune lady and asked for my name to be made.. so she paid some lady to name me.. later (after my parents became christian) my mom decided to change my name slightly..
currently:
옥 - 玉【구슬보석】a precious stone (jade)
주 - 主【신】the Lord;the Savior
미 - 美 beauty
before, [주] was a mixture of some water element and other element or something so that i would become like water (??????) idk fortune ladies are weird.. i'll probably ask my mom later about my name to get the accurate story.. also [옥] is derived from the chinese character for king (?) something like that idk.. i'm korean
i don't think i should be ashamed of my korean name.. but i'm still trying to get used to it..
some white kid made fun of my korean name when i was 10 and it hurt my feelings so i started to hate my korean name since then.. but now i'm like whatever.. i'm proud to be korean so i'm fine..
