it’s no longer about expectations for what is to come. good-bye to that. i’m looking forward to this moment, right now.
carpe diem at its find. live life to its fullest.
go. do. be.
So never worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own — Matthew 6:24
i talk so much about living and thriving on this blog and in my...

instead of writing about my day, i’m going to focus on the one event that is really bogging me down. last semester, a professor told me I could intern with her research institute for academic credit. because she said I could do this, I didn’t go out of my way to find another spring internship, etc. When the semester started, I went to her office multiple times during the week to...

early mornings to get things done. after today, i realized … real life is SO HARD & i am sooo not ready for it. somehow, as a second semester junior, responsibility has piled up upon me like no other & i find myself coursing through life with no red lights. and it’s only the first week of school. homework hasn’t even started kicking my butt yet. however, it’s ONLY...

third day of school & i feel so tired already. there’s something wrong with this picture. so here’s a poem to sum my feelings up.
i wish days had more time
that the sun would never set
so friendship could last through the day … and more day
that night wouldn’t have to come
but in reality, it’s not about the length,
just the quality of time spent together.

eighteen days of the new year already!
i have to finish making this video for tomorrow’s Thursday Night Worship to start off the semester, so i’ll keep this blog post brief. i think filming people for this video was one of the best parts of today, namely because it showed how my friends were generous enough to donate their time and contribute. and how FUNNY they are. my video editing...

forgot to take a picture today. first day of school. IT WAS SO LONG. i’m not going to write everything that happened because honestly, it’s kinda tedious and probably a lot boring to ya’ll. but it was a cross between okay and scary.
if today was a representative of how busy i’m going to be all semester, i’m super scared. but also SUPER excited. there is a lot to...

first night alone in a new apartment
traveling to D.C. is always terrible and annoying because public transportation kills me. but i’m here and slowly unpacking and adding a bit of me to this apartment. it’s interesting to see what bits here are leftover from Sheena and how Liz & my personalities will mix, just by the things we own.
taking ownership wheee.
although moving the rest of my stuff from the townhouse...

noelduan:
I get a lot of sweet emails that I don’t deserve along the lines of: “Noel! I don’t know you in real life, but I think you’re fantastic anyway. How do you do it all?”
Well, I am here to offer to you my unsolicited wisdom which you probably did not ask for, unless you emailed me asking for advice….

If Christmas didn't exist.
wewritewespeak:
If Christmas didn’t exist…sure there will still be sales and lights. Maybe some sort of decorations strung through houses, yards, and trees, ringing in the festivities. There will still be feasts of hams and yams, people rushing here and there through traffic for gatherings and presents, kissing underneath the mistletoe.
There will still be stress about gift giving, frustration...

being home leaves room for much introspection
thinking too much? not really. i rather call it reflection. 2011 has been a different year for me. i think it has truly been the year of leaving the past behind. being who i truly want to be. turning twenty. no longer a teenager. trying to grow up at the right pace, taking risks and jumping through life with eyes forward and not regretting. At least trying not to regret. After all, that cliche is...
