Remember.

I really wish I were better at keeping in touch with people. I don't know what it is - I look at my pictures from home and do this stupid mixture of tearing up and smiling when I think about how I haven't seen you guys in a little more than half a month. There are days when I am so incredibly homesick and wonder what I am doing in Atlanta, and then there are days when I am completely fine. I get amazing messages and emails from people who try to keep in touch with me, yet whenever i open it up to reply to it, I can't bring myself to. I don't know if it's pure laziness, or that I don't think that I can do it justice in the amount of time that I have, but either way it doesn't happen. But wow, people matter. And relationships matter. And it's time for me to stop putting that on hold and thinking that they will take care of themselves. I know it's unrealistic for me to think that I can keep in touch with every person back at home, but I'm going to try to be better at least! 

SO. Update for ya'll.

9. Microeconomics is going to be an adventure. I have to learn to stay awake and understand fobby Korean accents AFKSDJFlksdjf

I miss you guys. But God has been good to me here at Emory. I'll share my struggles in a later post, but for now please pray that I can still find God here even when I am surrounded by a lifestyle where it seems like I don't really need Him. 

Love ya'll, miss ya'll, see ya'll soon. :)
