Got the scholarship!

It has been a month since I applied to the scholarship with a recommendation of my pastor, and yesterday after came home from fountain run, which was so much fun, there was a mail. I really thank God for everything he supplied me sufficiently and help me because it was not from my ability, but from grace. I really thank to every one who helped me. Life is full of joy no matter what happen because God is with me wherever I go.

To anyone who thinks of getting into a law school in the states, they must need this test score since every law school ask for it. There were four times for a year; February, June, September/October, and December and its score scale is from 120 to 180. Its average score is 152, which is almost 60 percent correct.

I just started to study LSAT and maybe some information and studying I did be posted on this blog.

John Purdue Statue

What made me surprized was this new statue of John Purdud, a founder of the university. He was the donator for the university :^)** 

Abraham Lincoln Statue

In Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN, there is an Abraham Lincoln Statue with the myth telling rubbing his nose bring you a good luck. Because of the myth, every one visiting might rub his nose until it shines. As I heard, he signed for the foundation of Purdue University, and I am little proud of the fact due to Abraham Lincoln's fame. He is still well-known and popular for his noble presidency and many people dream to be like him.

Prison Break: Season 1: "Pilot"

Linc: Michael?

Officer: Let's go. Come on, man.

Linc: Why?

Scot: I'm getting you out of here.

Officer: Burrows, roll it up. Happy hour's over.

Linc: It's impossible.

Scot: Not if you designed the place, it isn't

"Past tense for you, maybe. not me."

Prison Break is one of my most favorite American TV series, I watching several times. Depending on how old I am and how much I know, what it tells is different. During teenage, it only made me mad due to what government does for the brothers, but now, little understood what the director wanted to tell through this series. Though not exactly sure what made him write this scenario, for me, it was all about love: protecting whom they love, trying to get what they love, so on. Michael went to Fox River to get his brother out, and these brave brothers' journey has been begun. 

Second half has been started

My first half year had been gone with no memories, and here I am to start my second half of 2013. In the beginning of summer break, I planned to read all the books I have, but it failed until now. I have not read anything at all, I think. Seriously, I need to do something, and I picked five books and read all together with blogposting. 

First book is "the True Secret of Writing" by Natalie Goldberg, to help my writing skill.

Second book is "the Twitter Book" by Tim O'Reilly and Sarah Milstein, to use social networking system more efficiently.

Third book is "A Sentimental Journey" by Laurence Sterne, which I really wanted to re-read to inspire on my self and life.

Fourth book is "Problem of Pain" by C. S. Louis, to nurture my religious belief.

Fifth book is "Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austen, planning to read all the Jane Austen's book during summer.

It seems many, but reading them in a week is not bad. Here I am, Coming back blogger!!!! 

I will use Goodreads, to jot down some ideas and quotes. Hope I can keep moving forward!

The Only Life You Can Save

The Journey

 by Mary Oliver

One day you finally knew

what you had to do, and began,

though the voices around you

kept shouting

their bad advice - 

though the whole house

began to tremble

and you felt the old tug

at your ankles.

"Mend my life!"

each voice cried.

But you didn't stop.

You knew what you had to do, 

though the whole pried

with its stiff fingers

at the ver foundations,

though their melancholy

was terrible.

It was already late

enough, and a wild night, and the road full of fallen

branches and stones.

But little by little,

as you left their voices behind,

the stars began to burn

through the sheets of clouds,

and there was a new voice

which you slowly

recognized as your own,

that kept you company

as you strode deeper and deeper

into the world,

determined to do

the only thing you could do - 

determined to save

the only life that you could save. 

"The pain of loss, grief, and despair is not essential for transformation. It is possible to step into a new life in more graceful ways. But for most of us, and certainly for me, pan and loss usually prepare the way. The moment itself may seem effortless, but a lifetime of suffering may have preceded it. A new life requires a death of some kind; otherwise it is nothing new, but rather a shuffling of the same deck."

"Yet the true journey of your life requires a kind of madness. After all, from the standpoint of your old life, you may be throwing everything away for nothing. You do not even know what you are headed toward. Yet the first step can only ever be taken in darkness. You cannot know where it will take you. You cannot plan for this sort of journey because the entire undertaking relies on the unreasonableness of faith. Faith is unreasonable because it rests on no tangible evidence. It is beyond even belief. Th person of faith does not expect everything to turn out the way they want it to; they do not expect some higher power to pick them up when they fall. Their faith is beyond belief and even beyond hope. It is a faith that comes from gnosis - the knowing that has no need of information."

"You cannot know where that voice will take you, but in being willing "to save the only life you could save," you are affirming one of the deepest and most sobering truth of all: no one else can ever walk your journey for you. You alone can respond to your call."
