Passing my classes

I thank the Lord. I should be passing all my classes for this semester, assuming I pass tomorrow's final exam in pediatrics class. I'm so incredibly thankful. This was the trek that I was on when I matriculated at Columbia Nursing back in the year 2011, but I told you about the interference caused by the girl named Esther Choi. I had to take a detour to avoid her and bad people, like her. I'm on my way back to the journey I was on in my career with nursing. I hope I do decent on tomorrow's final exam. I haven't really gathered the motivation to study today and have been slightly lazy. 

I'm glad to receive the grade that I did on my Pediatric clinical case study. It was a grueling process getting that thing completed and turned in. 

My mother went to golf with her friends today. So, I'm left at home without a car. I don't mind living in Fresno, CA, but the one annoying thing is transportation. Unlike the big cities, I can't just walk off to a subway stop and take myself to my destination. I'm literally stuck at home for the rest of today. 

After perusing google map of desirable cities, I've got to say San Francisco is one of my favorites, possibly better than my experience in New York City. What makes living in Fresno, CA advantageous is its close proximity to San Francisco city along with it's cheaper cost of living. I can drive up to Pleasonton or Dublin, park my car at the Bart station and take the Bart into SF city. I'm waiting to enjoy a trip up there one of these days. It'd be nice to work in a big city, but the more thought I put into, it makes more sense to reside at home in Fresno, at least for a few years. If I was to get a job in SF, I don't want to risk living in a shitty town where I put myself in danger's path. It's just something to think through before making a move to a big city. There's so many dangerous aspects of living in the city. I already described my experience with a young guy at Mount Sinai hospital who exposed his penis to me, and I was shook by that experience. I've also had a gun directed at me. Price of gasoline is also higher in the city. It's just such a headache to think about the high cost of living. If I was to seek out a place in a desirable, safe place of the city, cost of rent would be much higher and even unaffordable. 

 Another thing is that I'm didn't enter a career in nursing for money, although earning money is nice and needed. If I wanted to make money, I'd have gone into the finance industry. I've chosen nursing as a career to help people, particularly sick people. So, I think I'd be content with a nursing job in Fresno, CA despite it not being a desirable location to reside in.

"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...
