Back to Stanford!

Hello!
As the title says, I'm back at Stanford for Sophomore College. I saw Steve today in the dining hall and it reminded me that no one has posted on this blog in forever! And since it's getting closer to school starting, I think everyone should post so that when I see you guys, we have stuff to talk about and you don't have to tell me what seems like your whole life story to catch me up on how your summer was and then we'll have an even better conversation than if you hadn't posted! =D
So since my last post, Kardia had an awesome road trip down to LA. Kardia, Isaac, and Jason barely fit into Matty the Matrix with all my stuff in the trunk. I actually drove for part of the way too even though I barely remember how to drive manual. I think I scared Isaac and Jason with my driving. But what can I say? I guess I'm the stereotypical Asian female driver... =P So Kardia had a great time in LA (or at least the Kar part, I'll let dia speak for herself... although since we're the same person, I guess I can speak for us...). We had yummy shaved ice with Isaac in Cerritos and ate lunch with Alyssa in Carson. Despite SoCal traffic, we also made it to Huntington Beach in the evening for a bonfire. A really full but super fun day. On Sunday, Kardia went to Karis' home church, then got food in Koreatown, and spent the afternoon on a date at Body Worlds 3. The exhibit was sooo kool! I would definitely recommend it if you like anatomy/science and such. In the evening, I gave Claudia a tour of my hometown. You can ask her what she thinks of my city. Maybe she'll make a post about it if I remember to tell her. Then Claudia left my house and Monday.
I ended up coming back up the California coast for family vacation. We visited Morro Bay which is on the central coast of California. Then we headed up to the Bay Area to visit family and go to Great America. It was so much fun going on roller coasters and hanging out with my siblings. Then we drove back down the coast to go home. I slept in my own bed for a few nights before I was off to my church retreat at Idyllwild. That was a nice time to catch up with my church family and enjoy God's creation in the mountains. I left the retreat early so I could make it to move-in to SoCo today. And so now you're all caught up in my life. I can't wait to read your posts. Please keep posting. I really enjoy hearing all about your summers. Hope to see you all soon!! Class of Oh-Leven lunch when everyone gets back to campus? I hope so!!
