Ahh! =)

To my wonderful sisters,

I LOVE YOU GUYS =) Thank you so much!!!! I got your card and your mini letters Monday night (7.27.09) ahahha. My mom gave it to me around 11:00 ish pm. I didn't really open it until 12:00 p.m so I guess you can say I officially received it on my birthday! I love it so much. Thank you! It's the best birthday present someone who's 2,419 miles away could receive (thanks Nancy for doing the "distance" research...and did you know your mini-letter was the only one that was gray? Everyone else's letters were pink and purple) Guess what I got for my birthday from my parents? A CAMERA! Yay! Now I can take pictures when I come back to Berkeley w00t. How are you guys doing? Ahh, I can't believe Chanhee is joining our small group! Yay!

As for my guitar playing...ahem...it's going. Hehe I can play "How great is our God" using 4 chords! Hah-hahhaaha. I'll keep improving on it until I come back. Promise!

I feel very much loved on my birthday. That was all I had wished for. Thank you! And also thank you for your prayers. My grandfather is doing well (though he's got a slight lung problem now) but the doctors say this occurs often after people over the age of 70 undergo surgery. Thank you thank you thank you. I need to post up pictures. I'll post up pictures from my tiny birthday party on Sunday. Hahhaa I invited two people to my birthday party hehe. It was the smallest, most wonderful birthday party I ever had. And o.m.g has anyone ever played CLUE before? It's so fun! I'm bringing it with me to Berkeley so we can play together!

Love,

Lily

What's happening

I'm thinking of changing my blog theme again. I already have the sketch laid out, and part of the design finished. I think you guys will be pretty shocked when you see it hahaha. I'll give you a hint (I've got all of you in the design).

Internship has been interesting. I never knew I could actually wake up early in the morning and make it to work by 8:00 a.m. I think I'll have no problem getting up for 8:00 a.m classes anymore. I really like the projects I'm doing, even though research is taxing. My co-workers are all super smart, and my office is next to a bunch of medical officers (Pediatrician, Physician, Veterinarian, etc.) When I'm hurting somewhere, I just have to go next door and ask for a diagnosis hahahha. Oh, and if any of you drink coffee with fake sugar, watch out for Splenda =) I'm not telling you why.

Ever since Obama signed H.R. 1256, the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the Act) into law (June 22nd), FDA is getting a new addition to the family: a "center" for Tobacco regulation w00t. This is what our director said in the email: "FDA is looking forward to playing a key role in reducing the human toll of suffering and disease caused by our nation’s leading cause of preventable death." Aren't you guys excited?

Another good news is I got into the Econ major! Yay! Now I just need to somehow get into the public health major as well. Alas, my GPA is poor so I must work hard on my personal statement again. Hope you guys are well!

Love,

Lily
