Ignorance is stupid.

Happy Easter everyone! Today was an amazing day: service was awesome, the testimonies were blessing, and weather beautiful.

So I had a pretty wonderful day until a couple hours ago when I had an encounter with what I'll call "ignorance." (Although I have much harsher words I could use to describe this encounter.)

Here's what happened: I was walking down Locust Walk with a friend when a group of four guys sitting along the walk began jeering at us, "Look at these guys. What do you think they are, Chinese?" I heard this comment and decided to just keep walking. Then they began screaming out, "Ni Hao! Ni Hao!" At that moment, I became REALLY angered. Not many people on this earth have seen me angry, but at that moment I was IRATE. Just short of turning to the guys and berating them for their racist remarks. I also thoroughly considered mocking them and cursing at them in Chinese (side note: I'm Korean).

But then I remembered... today is Easter.

I thought to myself, "Surely if Jesus was able to forgive me for my terrible transgressions throughout my life to the point of dying on the cross, I should be able to love and forgive these ignorant guys."

Today I'm really thankful for being reminded of the meaning of love.

Register or Die!

hey folks,

it's not too late to register to vote! as students/residents in Philly, we are all eligible to vote in the PA primary on April 22nd, but we have to register by march 24th! again, i recommend you do so regardless of your political preferences. click here to begin registering (this doesn't mean you have to vote Obama).. you can also find the Obama voter registration table on locust walk... also, I have a ton of extra registration forms. so you have NO excuses.

people die for democracy and their right to vote... but the laziness and apathy of young people sometimes makes me wonder whether we really deserve this right. that being said, this election has been radically different and young people are rising up across the nation to have their say. hope you do the same.

Spring Break: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

OCR and midterms are over... I just want to get away for a week.

I promise I'll start blogging again and become a contributing member to society again upon my return. Until then... SUN, SAND, & SWEETNESS.
