Upcoming surgery

 My surgery date is in late May. I can't wait until I get to exercise again. I plan on resuming dance fitness and cycling, yoga, and pilates classes and cardio at the gym.

I had my last class in research class. I am officially proficient in research nursing. I'm really not but I'm sure glad I passed the class!

My memory has been getting increasingly poor. That becomes a problem when grocery shopping. For the Korean Rose tteokbokki, I need heavy cream. Whenever I go to buy heavy cream at TJ's, I can't remember whether coconut cream works or if I need to buy heavy whipping cream. So, I buy both. The heavy whipping cream works and I used it. Since I ran out of that, I tried the coconut cream. Well, with the incorporate of the coconut cream, the recipe turned out tasting a bit sweet and it wasn't made to my liking. It was too liquid-y as well, so I'm just going to throw it away (What a waste of Korean rice cake). It could be that the ratio of coconut cream to milk wasn't right and that I added too much milk. Now, I know. What a disappointment to not make the Korean Rose tteokbokki with the right taste this time. 

I made an impulsive purchase of a light blue Longchamp bag at Nordstrom Rack. I want a black or navy blue one because it's more neutral in color and will be good to carry for interviews and business wear. Once I start working as a RN, I think I'll buy a more neutral colored Longchamp bag. I saw a nursing school friend carrying one, and I really liked how it's roomy and carries everything.

I haven't really told anyone about my ankle. I have a weak ankle that I've injured and fractured twice. The first time was in the 5th grade from a jazz dance class with Romy Yoshimoto and doing turns. I had a muscle strain or sprain. Then, there was a time during college when I ran as exercise. The impact of running lead to a fall, which I believe resulted in an ankle fracture.

"Banksy Doesn't Have Loans"

I had been at Columbia University for 5 months, achieving a 3.6 gpa in the summer and going through the 2nd semester in Fall. By October, I had received Bs in both the lecture and clinical components of the psychiatry rotation and moved onto the pediatric rotation. With the 2nd exam in pathophysiology coming up, I had the pressures of managing both the pediatric rotation, a research class, and the pathophysiology class.  I had met my 2nd cousin through my dad's side Annie Dayoun Kang, who is now an attorney in Seoul, South Korea, and her mom. They had just moved from Long Island to Manhattan.  As far as church was concerned, I tried Emmanuel Presbyterian Church near the 116th subway exit and met Jane Sueyon Moon's college bestie/roommate Tracey Kim (Tae). There, I ran into Janice Chan's older sister Jamie Chan again and some other Asian/Korean Ivy League alumni.  After the 2nd Sunday at Emmanuel Presbyterian Church, where the father of a Grey's Anatomy character Sarah D...

My brother got promoted, and a tale of Banker's wife - both Esther Choi (Berg) and Jamie Chan

 My brother is a San Diego police officer sergeant. Srgt.  I screenshot a photo of Jamie Chan. I saw her at Emmanuel church in NYC. Remember, I explained my story over Esther Choi and her tantrum over what I presume to be her making a big deal of churches, hers versus mine. Well, just two Sundays prior, Jamie Chan appeared to have gotten angry and directed her anger at me after how the guy named Kane Kim acted or reacted or whatever he did. I swear he had an unusual gesture, but I wasn't new to that kind of thing since Andrew Woo and David Sihyo Kim both had clearly shown their intentions. Sometimes, guys can be impulsive though. Sure, Jamie is the daughter of a former heart surgeon in Fresno, but she's also Janice Chan's sister. I had no clue as to who the guy was but I found out with some research... another law student. I have to mention that what I saw from Jamie Chan and Esther Choi was not normal... they were so crazed and bizarre...outlandish, out of this world. ... ...

Finding a church and Grandma's earthly life both in God's plans and control

I haven't found a church that I like since being back at home, which is Fresno. During four years of college, I had a church that I went to weekly. In the year 2010-2011, I was able to fellowship with fellow Christians through Valley of Grace in Fresno, which is the English Ministry affiliate of the Korean Presbyterian church. One of the members was Jane S. Moon, who I mentioned in a previous post as introducing me to her college roommate Tracey Kim. Through that connection, I was able to attend Emmanuel Presbyterian Church a few times while a student at Columbia Nursing. Since then, I haven't felt the inclusion I had before, and it's honestly been really hard living life without a church that I connect with. In addition to partaking in worshipping God, church allows members to fellowship with each other. I don't know whether I need to wait to relocate (once I obtain my BSN degree in Fresno) or to work harder in finding a church in Fresno. I think I've moved on past...
