Wishing for more hours in a day.

Wanting to work on my 21 list (before time runs out!) and make more DIYs.

Almost halfway through summer school.

Embracing July + change.

Learning to be open.

Thankful for friends that God brings.

Hoping for a productive + fruitful day.

Panicking a little with all the work that still needs to get done before the weekend.

Working hard (or trying to) so I don’t have to study over the weekend this week.

Getting fat on yummy nutella and sea salt stuffed cookies (recipe coming soon!)

Feeling grateful that I decided not to be a business major in the end because math is neither my thing nor my favorite.

Happy Thursday!

Plodding along with my first week of summer school.

Persevering and pressing on with the assignments that stump me.

Keeping my head up despite everything that may get me down.

Trying to focus, get motivated and back into the routine for school.

Hoping that all the planning from the past week pays off.

Choosing to just breathe, and not stress out.

Needing to sort and print photos.

Making more to-do lists.

Thinking about how quickly the week is flying by.

Attempting to be productive and making the most of each day.

Working hard.

Avoiding procrastination.

Planning to go back to running soon.

Praying for wind + rain to blow all this haze away.

Staying indoors in an attempt to hide from all the haze.

Looking back at this past week and being grateful for all the things that kept me busy.

Looking forward to getting to run outside again once this whole haze crisis is all over.

Reminding myself to not ever take clean air for granted again.

Wishing that summer vacation would last just a little bit longer.

Cherishing time being together with family.

Trying to do as much as I can to fully utilize this last weekend before school starts.

Planning for fall classes and the second half of twenty thirteen.

Excited to do some DIY projects.

Suddenly remembering that this week starts yet another brand-new month.

Pressing on with the couple weeks left of school before summer! (:

Purposing to finish strong.

Making lists and plans of everything I want to do once vacation starts.

Looking forward + excited to be getting a break.

Thankful for all the fun + friends + family + fellowship this weekend.

Choosing not to stress out over school + assignments.

Choosing to breathe + take one day at a time instead.

Counting my blessings + how much I have to be thankful for.

Realizing (all over again) just how amazing my God is.

Hardly believing that it is already March tomorrow. (I’m pretty sure this thought occurs every month.)

Thinking of all the things I’m thankful for this week. Like family and friends and God-things.

Reminding myself that busy is good.

Learning to make the most of every moment, regardless of how busy things may be.

Working against hard deadlines for school and trying not to stress/panic/freak out. #breathe

Looking forward to having the whole family together and spending time again this weekend.

Trying to focus and re-order my life so things are as productive + efficient as they can be.

Choosing to have right priorities + not be overwhelmed by everything.

Needing to trust + pray more, and worry less.

Committing to give my 100% in everything I do.

Embracing wherever God has placed me now.

Being open to whatever God is/will be doing.

You have no idea what you’re capable of until you try.

Excited that this weekend kick-starts all the Lunar New Year celebrations.

Not looking forward to what comes after these next few days but it’s all good.

Feeling guilty that I didn’t go running at all this week because it rained every single day I’d planned to go.

Eating way too many Chinese New Year goodies, but promising myself that I will go running this coming week.

Reminding myself to cherish and enjoy all the moments of the next few days.

Loving being 100% Chinese + all our (family) traditions.

Planning new things for this space (stay tuned!).

Thankful for how good God is – in all things.

Enjoy your long weekend!
Have a happy Chinese New Year, full of God’s goodness and blessings (:
