the premiere

Here I am
again.


I made this blog... probably at the worst time imaginable.

Currently, I am...

• not studying enough for impending doom on August 6th.
• not really preparing to fly 3,000 miles over for my master's program.
• putting on a lot of (emotional and spiritual) weight and attempting to shed it off with a pricey summer gym membership to 24
• constantly craving brick toast and milk tea boba, even though I consume both of these regularly throughout the week.
• possibly crying more than laughing
• loving and taking advantage of being merely 11 minutes away (by a car I don't have) from an amazing boyfriend who has been nothing but supportive and grace-filled to me
  
• not engaging with the Lord enough
  
• at home (LA) but not really at home (I seriously left my heart in stinkin' SF). Being here has definitely been a humbling experience.

Okay, so these don't really sound like the pretty things in my life... but it's life (I'll get better, I promise).

My desire to create this (yet again another) blog originated from the realization that has slowly dawned upon me that I'll soon be far, far away from the small communities I've built in CA. I'm off to create another in B'more. But it's extremely exciting... the prospect of adding a new chapter to my life, one that will include fulltime pursuit of public health (and, for the first time in a long time, actually loving what I am doing), and one that will inevitably include nasty snow storms, flight delays, wonderful Baltimore (sarcasm slightly implied), and new adventures all along the e. coast.

Thanks for joining me, my beloveds.
