This is for Chris Fenlason:

铁人三项

[tiěrén sānxiàng]
Now you can tattoo it on knowing that it's an accurate translation.

***Side Note***
Omg! I cannot say enough of this, but X-files is creepy and gross!!!

Kitchen Mixer


Since I've been baking more often these days, I'm considering to buy myself a kitchen-aid mixer.
It turns out that most of them are more than 100 bucks.
I might have to do a little more research about these mixers before I actually purchase one.

International Student Hosts

Hello-
I am Evelyn Tsen, the International Student Orientation Assistant.
International Students will be arriving in the last week of August. This semester, we are expecting about 40 incoming students, which is twice the size of the group from previous years. Yes, it is very exciting indeed!
To welcome the students, we will be sending the students in groups of 3-6 to the warm homes of Augsburg faculty and staff on the 29th of August for a homey dinner.
We are currently looking for faculties and staffs who may be available on the evening of 8/29/08 (Friday) to host the dinners from 5:00PM to 6:00PM. Because of the size of the group, we are in need of your help.
If you are interested in hosting the students or if you have more questions, please do contact me ASAP.
You may also contact our International Student Advisor, Jim Trelstad-Porter at porter@augsburg.edu or call 612-330-1686.

Thank you kindly,
Evelyn

Olympics

"Why settle for silver when you can get gold?!"
Isn't that such a bald punctuated question? I wish I can live my life with that attitude everyday.

I've been thinking lately. What is the difference between pride and confidence.
Ever since I was young, I have been told that pride is bad. Pride will bring failure. Pride is sinful.
What does that mean?
Am I not suppose to imagine achieving the impossible successes?
Am I not suppose to desire to win and be the best?
Am I not suppose to celebrate my successes?
Am I suppose to expect failure after each success?

I believe I have misconceptions of this word "pride".

I believe I can be more than what I am.

I want to bring it on. I want to set a pace.


Has anyone else felt like this before?
