wrapping up my 4 years at state...finally! this is the big year. this school year...

i'm going to try to be more social and be a better friend whenever my friends need me.
i'm going to be more involved with church and hopefully grow more in christ.
i'm going to be on top of my academics...no slacking!
i'm NOT going to stress myself or oppa out with wedding planning.
i will get into shape so i can walk up 6 flights of stairs at poe and not feel like my heart is going to explode.

i almost feel like this is a new years resolution but i guess the start of a new semester is almost like that for me.  so much is going on already.  my brand, spankin' new planner is already filled with my scented colored pens.  it's almost overbearing.  but then again, this is a one time thing. so i should enjoy it. i'm only a senior once, right? :) mmmmm 2009 has been a memorable year thus far...and i know that 2010 has more to offer!!!

the 6 of us had dinner at home and we all proceeded to the living room. dad decided we needed a 'family meeting.' literally, he talked to us for 4 hours. he wanted us to go around in a circle and talk to every single person, whether it was advice, encouragement, thanks. very typical of my enormously-family oriented father. mom gave all of us advice for the future. dad cut her off because it was getting late. again, typical. then my turn which was uneventful. i totally regret it. i just gave my 2 cents to john and jimin, as they were the youngest ones. then oppa's turn. i thought he was going to just chuckle and say 'i have nothing to say.' but instead he started to go around starting with jimin, giving her advice about college, about seizing every moment because it'll never come back. to john, he told my brother to find God on a personal level and  inspired john to really commit to God in order to get his life straight. to my parents, he just thanked them for really being with him through thick and thin. then to me. he paused and said, 'hold on, i have somethng for you.' i glanced at john and jimin and told them it can't be a ring because he doesn't have a job yet. and lo and behold, my scrapbook that he made for my 20th birthday. i was so confused. i opened it up and he had completely vamped it up. he explained that it was just so plain. he also filled the blank pages that have been bare for a year and a half now. i was so blown away. when did he have the time and creative juices to do this?! next thing i know, i'm on the last page reading, ' you know what that means...today is your lucky day!' i just sat there and he managed to pull out something in his pocket. a velvet ring box. he clumsily knelt on one knee even though i was sitting down. and from his nervousness, mustered out 'so will you marry me?' i just laughed and said 'OHHHHHHMAHHHGAHHH!' he slipped that ring on and said, 'so?' and i gave him a big bear hug and told him of course!

this was 1am on june 26th...i almost got engaged on the death of Michael Jackson...
