Hmm a few things I remember: the charge that was actually brought upon Jesus was that he claimed to be the son of God, not any of the other accusations that the high priests tried to charge him with. It shows that God is in control even when it doesn’t seem like it. Another thing he said: Peter went to go see Jesus because he thought Jesus would probably do what he always does and outsmart the Pharisees, but he sees a defeated Jesus instead which is why he rejects him.

We are pretty efficient in lab and are able to get some stuff done so I am grateful for that and the ability to work efficientlyy. Also chem precepts are super duper helpful but I am also realizing that I am no where near as smart as everybody else LOL
• The Manna ST meeting was good and helpful today. But it did prompt a lot of thinking and self reflection which I am honestly pretty grateful for… Do we pray to make ourselves feel better? And if that’s the case, then what the heck do we pray for other people for cause that is kinda selfish then… Anyways, we also were able to get a free pizza from a random pizza store so I am grateful for this lady for being super duper nice.

• Today was quite an enjoyable day so I am happy about that. It probably was not as productive as I would have hoped for, but it was still a pretty good day. We woke up and then we went to our POL precept, and then we went to SML lecture, and then we did a bit of reading and work before our POL lecture, and then we got late meal before chem precept, then we took a FAT nap before going to grab dinner with Matthew, and then we went to chem office hours to get some help, and then we talked with Kayley a bit before grabbing some more late meal, and then going ice skating, and then finishing off the night with just some SML and youtube.

And then also grabbing dinner with Matthew was pretty nice  We had a pretty good conversation. And then office hours today was super duper helpful so yay for that.
• We got to go ice skating for the first time in quite a while today and mannn it was honestly really really fun. I enjoyed it a lot. We got to first relearn a bit of ice skating, and then once we relearned it, it was just a matter of trying to get our foot not to cramp and die on us. But since it didn’t, everything pretty much worked out in the end < 3

2/14/24

• Happy Valentine’s day. Essentially that means happy regular day that is absolutely no different than any other day! Honestly I really really liked today and am super duper grateful for today so I am happy about that. We woke up at like 8:30, and then we got breakfast with Daniel and really learned a lot from him. It’s not about balance, it’s about tension. We should learn how to lean far on both ends on both directions to support solid structures, not a 50-50 balance. And then we went to our HUM lecture, then chem lecture, and then late meal and coffee before going to POL lecture, and then we went to another chem lecture, and then did some HUM reading before HUM precept, and then we went to colo to do some work before we got dinner with Marvin, and then we went to our POL precept, and then we went to the gym, went to late meal, and then went to stone to finish up the SML assignment 
• We got to have breakfast with Daniel, dinner with Marvin, and then late meal with Kellen and Daniel (frosh) which was honestly really really nice I’m glad that I’m able to catch up with all of them and see how everybody is doing. And also Marvin is super duper nice I’m glad that I’m going to be able to room with him next semester.
• We got to do a few new exercises in the gym for our back day since there is LITERALLY no back machines anywhere. And then we also figured out that instagram reels are literally the funniest thing on this planet earth BUTT NO ONE ELSE UNDERSTANDS OUR HUMOR SO THIS IS SAD but also I friggen love my humor it’s SO funny.

2/13/24

• We had a pretty good day today; but probably because we literally slept through the majority of it. But honestly I am grateful for sleep. I am super duper happy that I get to have as much sleep as I could possibly need at this school and not be completely dead all the time. I LOVE SLEEP. But we are kinda sacrificing our social life for sleep and grades. But that is ok. We need sleep. I am grateful for it.
• We got to grab dinner at colo today which was a first! Super duper cool. And then we also had a lot of fun doing work w James, Xuanying, and Joseph today at Frist. It was super duper funny being able to talk with all of them and the interesting conversations that come out from us being weird… I love that I’m able to just be myself now around people it’s super great and I’m happy that I am here.
• We got to get a decent amount of work done so I am honestly pretty proud of ourselves for that. We got to get the rest of the chem lab report done, and then we edited our chem 373 pset while also reading some of the HUM thingies so look at us doing workkk. But also at the same time we are falling behind in other ways for other classes sooo that’s not good. Anyways, happy.

And then it was also really really nice being able to cash in on all of the fancy sandwiches and cookies and cakes and such afterwards  And the still water is yummy too. I like James Madison Fellow Program.

2/11/24

• Lovely day today. We woke up and then we got to go to church, and then laundry + lunch + gym, and then we submitted our SML PSET before going to grab dinner, and then we went to open room to watch some of the super bowl, and then we went back to our dorm, took a 4 hour nap, and now it’s 2am and there’s 0 chance that you are going to be sleeping any time soon so might as well make the most of being awake rn!

• We got to serve at Manna Large Group again today, and that in itself is something to be grateful for. We are grateful to serve. We must be grateful to serve. I’ll obey and serve the Lord… or at least I will try to and will strive to. But I’m not doing such a great job at that….

2/9/24

First we woke up at like… 12 and then we went to our chem precept (honestly I really really like the precepts for chem), and then we went to chem lab, and then we hit late meal before going to the gym, and then we went to the library to do a bit of work before heading off to our discipleship meeting, and then we got dinner at colo, we tried out the computer there for cs and taught Jocelyn and Xuanying a bit, and then we we went to Firestone to do some work with Jocelyn before we headed back to our dorm to do some work after Studio 34
• We had a very very productive conversation with Soonho today for our discipleship meeting which was quite nice! We talked a lot about if people can be Christian if they hold non-Christian viewpoints, and he explained how it depends how we read the Bible. If we genuinely think that this is what the Bible says, then this is what we should be doing. But if it is not what we genuinely think the Bible says and our decision is influenced by our culture, then we should not. Very very informative.
• We got to see everybody (except kevin) at the dinner at colo today which was pretty nice! And then also we worked with Xuanying to teach her how to do cs go FUN

2/8/24

People coming to Christ is a miracle, God does not lie because he is not intentionally deceiving, rather, he really was going to destroy the Israelites when he said he was going to.

• We got to talk with Xuanying a lot towards the end of the day in Firestone and had a very very honest conversation with her. She is very very easy to open up to and talk to so I am grateful that I have her in my life. And am grateful that she is my friend who I can be real with!

2/5/24

• We got to see all of the Manna people today and then also today was the first LG that Geoff, Esther, and Daniel were at so that was quite refreshing! It was nice being able to see all of them and being able to hear all of them talk during LG. And also of course it is always nice being able to see all of the Manna people

We CAN SUCCEED THIS 6 COURSE SEMESTER. And even if we can’t, then we can probably just drop HUM right cause I don’t like HUM. Orrr we can actually pay attention in HUM perhaps? Well let’s find outtt.
• We went to FNF today and honestly I am super duper happy that I went there because there was cake for starters, but also BECAUSE PEOPLE THERE ARE SO HAPPY and it is actually really refreshing being able to be a part of worship and a sermon and not be tired and still have energy and not be doing piano. Of course I am still grateful and happy to serve on Manna praise team, but it’s refreshing to be able to just sing and worship without playing in it.

2/1/24

1/26/24

• So I think I am going to start this day off at 12am since we slept from 10am-7pm today…. yeah our sleep schedule is kinda messed up. So I am going to include what I did throughout the night as this day LOL. So we first got to play some uno with PCF people, and then we changed to volley ball, and then we changed to basketball, and then we ended up talking for like 6 hours straight, then got breakfast, loaded the bus, and then when we got back to our dorm we KNOCKED out until like 8. Then we took a shower, got ready for bed, and now we are writing this LOL
• Honesty volleyball is super duper fun I am honestly really enjoying being able to play the sport with everyone and I kinda hope that I will be able to play it like in the gym sometime in the future. I wanna learn how to playyy. And then we also scored like 2 points in basketball soooo good for that too!
• We got to have a very very in depth and personal conversation with Katie, Brian, Michelle, and Sam throughout the last night of the retreat (Daniel was there too but he doesn’t count because he fell asleep). But honestly I really enjoyed the conversation that we had it was super duper productive

1/25/24

• We woke up at like 11:47am which was just in time for the picture, and then we headed to lunch and then got ready to go on the hike, and then we played chess and had some fun for a bit before heading over to dinner, and then we wrote letters to God, had class sharing, and continued on with our day!
• Today was so full of rest and relaxation and I am genuinely happy I get to have so much fellowship with other believers before going into the hell that is going to be school. We have to continue to surround ourselves with believers so that we do not get lost in the faith, but manage to keep it strong and healthy and goinggg.
• We had a lot of fun on the hike today because we got to talk with many new people, and then we really enjoyed our class sharing time because I think we kinda hogged up most of the time through asking our questionsss… haha I feel bad for anyone who has to be in the same class as I am because it is just going to be filled with extra questioning and doubting, but honestly I think this is really helping me to strengthen my faith. I need to figure out where I stand in terms of this.

1/24/24

• Another full day of retreating and so this was something to be grateful for. We woke up and then went to a roundtable about honoring our parents, and then we ate some lunch before going to the bowling alley, and then we played chess with Bryan for a short time before going off to a prayer meeting, eating dinner and then a bible trivia, and then we had evening worship, small groups/skits, and then volleyball + line dancing was super duper memorable.
• We really had a fun time with the skits today which was trying to replicate Moosho from Mulan going to a party and not being formally dressed or knowing how to give a speech…? We played the role of the messenger who orders Mulans dad to go to war so that was interesting. It was also super duper fun and cute seeing all of the other groups do their skit. Dude WARREN IS SOOOO FUNNY. LIke it is absolutely insane how funny these PCF people are LOL.
• We scored a 97 in bowling!! LOOK AT THAT. And then we also got to see how smart the other Christians in our group is when it comes to Bible trivia. Bro, Chimwyewye, Tim, and Noelle are absolutely insane when it comes to knowing the exact Bible verses like what in the worlddd. And then also line dancing was really really fun too! We learned like 4 new dances and the Virginia line something, and I LOVE THIS CULTURE. PCF culture is so much different from Manna culture, but it is SO MUCH MORE FUN ALOKDJG:LSKJDG:

1/23/24

• Today was just a FULL day of retreating so YAY for that. We woke up, got breakfast, and then prepared for a prayer meeting with Mack, and then did a bit of a devo before heading over to play some games, played dodgeball, volleyball, then practiced for praise team, lead the prayer meeting, got dinner, and then went to worship, and then went to small group, and then finished off the rest of the night with just fellowship with other people 
• We had lots and lots of fun today and felt lots and lots of love. And also Ryan is such a good speaker and is super duper intentional about everything that he speaks/does so I am really really hoping that I can emulate someone like him in the future. I want to be not just waiting my turn to lash out and speak, but to thoughtfully open up like he does and share encouragements with us. Today, he opened up with 1 John 3 which explains how sinners are not in Christ Jesus, but then shows that even though this is true, we have an advocate in Christ Jesus which is shown in 1 John 2.
• I think that perhaps I am thinking about Christianity all wrong. Christianity is about sin. It’s about being saved from sin. And I have always interpreted it as merely a religion which follows the teachings of the BIble. Christians can be Christians without knowing the Bible. They can be saved without adequate knowledge in the word. What is a Christian then? It’s someone who has just been called by God to be cleansed of their sins. It’s someone who acknowledges they are a sinner, and has the son of God advocate on their behalf so that they can be called children of God. Then, does everything else in the Bible matter at all? Of course to an extent, but perhaps it is not that important to be called a Christian… right? Well anyways, I am grateful for this realization which I think is going to help me a lot in my spiritual growth with Christ.

1/22/24

• Going on the retreatttt! Today we got on the bus and headed towards the retreat center and played lots of games, heard messages, ate dinner, and got to spend a lot of time with the people around us so that was pretty nice 
• We got to have lunch with Bryan, Andrew and Kevin today and saw them for the first time in quite a while so that was quite excitingg! And then we had dinner with some people as well. And then during the bus ride towards the retreat center, they made us talk with each other so I got to catch up with lots of peopleee < 3 I like people
• We played volley ball for the first time in a while today and dudeee that was super exciting and fun and enjoyable and I really think that I want to continue learning how to play more. I get why Jaemin likes volleyball over us now.

1/21/24

• Happy Sunday Jonathan! Honestly we had a really really relaxing and pretty okay day today. We didn’t do much; we woke up and did laundry, showered, cleaned a bit, ate a bit, then worked a bit, before coming back to our dorm and then napping for a bit, and then calling umma for a bit, and then wasting time for the rest of the time a bit.
• We are back on campus which means that we can officially start doing work now! We don’t have the excuse to be lazy because we are no longer at home anymore so I am grateful that I am here, at Princeton, and I AM READY TO TAKE THIS SUCKER ONNNN

• I had a very very fun and super enjoyable day today so I am very very grateful and happy about that. We woke up, and then we packed up, went to the David Network conference thingy, heard from lots of speakers, had some good breakfast with DJ Nordquist (head of the world bank), then we got to see cool speakers like Mike Pence, more panels, lunch with a Rabbi, more panels, explored the Museum a bit, had some interesting conversations with people about pro-life and religion, and then we got chic fila and had a very very interesting conversation with Bethany on the way back to Princeton where we ate more chic fil-a.
• WE HAD 4 CHIC-FILA SANDWICHES. If that is not something to be grateful for, Idk what is. And also the rest of the food that we ate today was also pretty fire fire fire. We got to eat SO MUCH YUMMY STUFF >> And then we learned so much when we were talking with people there and having some interesting debates.
• I am very very grateful for this opportunity to have been able to go to DC and be able to see all of the monuments and talk to all of the people here and listen to the conservative movement that they are trying to accomplish here. It was very very informative and honestly I do think that I am leaning more and more towards pro-life now. Obviously I am not full fledged pro-life in all circumstances, but I learned a lot that pushed me a little bit towards that direction.

And then I need to mention that the Bible Museum was SO SO COOL OMG OMG OMG. Like it’s 30 dollars to enter normally, but we got to get in FOR FREE so how sick is that, and there is a reason that it is so expensive to enter the museum, and that’s because it is quite possibly the coolest thing to ever exist on this planet earth we should really really go here sometime with our family
