end of an era

the counseling center where i did my intensive therapy group and am now doing once a week group is closing as a profit and re-opening some time in the near future as a non-profit. i was like, if they can't make money as a for profit group, how can they survive as a non-profit? a friend told me if they go non-profit they'll get government funding and tax break. so i guess it's good. in the meantime everyone in the program has to be placed into a new program elsewhere. what a pain in the butt! i'm okay about it. but for some people it's devastating news. like this one woman, she came from another country for treatment. what is she supposed to do now? right?

i'm going to nyc this weekend. i still can't really study. so i thought i might as well just have a good weekend if i can't study anyway. good decision, i think.

i've been going to morning prayer everyday this week. i'm still not sure about my faith. but it helps to meet up with others to read the bible, share prayer concerns and to pray together. of course we go get coffee or breakfast afterwards and that doesn't hurt. :)

night in town

on thursday night we sat 4 rows away from the hockey rink! our team lost and there was only one fight. still i had a great time, hot dogs, nachos and wings and all. :)

friday night i watched la vie en rose. man it was a long movie. the acting was good. but the story wasn't really all that interesting. i guess since you know that the singer dies, there isn't much suspense involved.

last night for dinner we went to a steak house. somebody wanted to take the college students (from church) out to a steak house that they probably couldn't afford on their own. and some post college folks tagged along. surprisingly i had a good time. i was somehow in a good mood despite having had a bad reading day. it was nice to see faces i hadn't seen in a while.

and then on the way back from dropping off some people, i almost got into a crazy accident. i was taking a path from a direction i don't usually come from and saw green light so i went. it turns out the green light wasn't for me. so as i was going across the intersection a car making a left honked at me. i'm so thankful that the car wasn't going fast because i would have hit the car if he/she was going any faster.

i haven't been driving so well lately. it's strange and scary.

since i can't read anyway i'm taking a break from studying. why not, right? next week is spring break in any case. :)
