my shoulders hurt. it's about time i ditch the backpack. come on Summer, we're all waiting on you.

it is in moments like these i rely heavier on Him. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. I hope for many things, but are those aligned with what God wants? This is the moment where I want Him to intervene and tell me what to do.

I'm clicking my way to confirming a path that will dictate the next four of years of this life. Hoping that God's will is behind it, hoping that it was not my own stubbornness that made this happen, hoping that this is a true act of faith. I pray to Him that my voice is not smothering His. I am giving this one more day.

I can't believe we're almost halfway through april. Time flies too fast.

!!!!

I am officially delivering the news to yalls: UC Berkeley has admitted me!

Now there is a BUT to this, but I will focus on what I've been blessed with, and that is the fact that I have a "dream" school that I can now consider a reality. So thank you God thank you God thank you God. I will tell you what exactly happened, mostly for reasons of keeping record (I picture myself looking back to this post and smiling). I was at a library, doing homework, with the buddies. They have all applied to this school, so we all knew this letter was sitting in each of our mailboxes (all this is electronic fyi). All my friends checked before I did, and these kids... are smart kids. They have gotten into better schools than this one, and YES they were admitted.

Im tired of telling the story now, so im going to stop. I should remember this moment no matter where I am or how old I am, because this is one of those moments. Future Irene, you KNOW this was by His will, because you even whispered it to yourself before you clicked on that button.

To explain about the BUT part, I am admitted for the spring quarter, not the fall. this means, i BARELY made it, and this makes me even more thankful. It was like God telling me, "hey, Irene, that was really close. You know this is all me haha" He's a smart guy.

I need you guys to keep praying for me, there are more schools I am waiting on. I'm happy with what I have, but if any of these letters carry good news, God definitely wants me out of California. More updates to come this week. I love you guys.

Oby, happy birthday!

Grace see you friday!
