learn Mandarin
我学中文学了两个学期了。

I am so glad that I decided to take Chinese course. It really is a great language to learn both in the spoken and written form.

If the goal were “begin to learn Mandarin” I could say I completed this goal, but with a language the size of Mandarin, I am not sure how I can ever complete this goal! It is about the process.



open a Roth IRA
I need to start early!

I should open one because I have the advantage of opening one early. I don’t think I will be able to put in the maximum, but even small amounts will benefit me when it comes time for me to retire.



pray more
Untitled

I don’t know what I am praying to, but I really want to start praying more. There is something about it that makes be feel safer and closer to truth (God?).

There is just so much more intention with prayer. Prayer and mediation, I feel, go hand in hand.

I just need to pray more.
