Today I got a lot done, but I feel like I haven't done anything.

I got a new bank account. I did some research into my "EasyRefund" card thing, scored about 100$, asked Hyewon to go ice skating with me on Wednesday (she's coming, but we might have to reschedule on account of her finals; tba,) worked alittle on Korean, talked to my brother :), learned how to make an Asian-ish-style stirfry (to cook for Hyewon later. I still owe her a home-made dinner,) did lots of work on the computer, including making the switch to Windows 7 Pro, and I did alittle bit of cleaning and organizing.

My brother made an interesting point. He agrees with me that my situation with Hyewon is optimally conducive for us being together, and he also agrees with me that it's risky for me to make any moves. However, he also said that the balance of power in my relationship with Hyewon is crazy leaning toward my side, meaning she might just be going along with things I say because of the situation with her moving in with us and all that. I really hadn't thought of it that way, and tbh, it makes me kinda uncomfortable (like, more than I already am). Dan said, (stressing that he is speaking from a strictly American cultural perspective,) that it's probably a good thing that I've chickened out so many times with Hyewon, and that I might do best to wait till we are in Korea, so that we will be "on her turf" and so that the balance of power will be more level. ... I think he's right, and I honestly feel alittle relieved because that means that maybe I'm not completely dead-beat for following my gut. I've been praying off-and-on for God to make my relationship with her work out in a way which will be the most mutually beneficial, whether we end up together or not.

I think that I was alittle depressed yesterday because of how tired I was. I will have to avoid going so long with so little sleep. However, I'm impressed by how well I managed in the mental instability area. Maybe because I'm not stressed. I don't really remember all the triggers. Then again, I haven't had an episode for almost 2 years, so either I'm overdue or I'm growing out of it.

On another note. I still need to work on my prayer life. I plan to spend some time tonight and tomorrow thanking and praising God. After all, things are going well for me, and I don't want to only pray when they aren't. I'm confident that they are going so well, in part, in answer to prayers which I or others prayed before. Therefore, it's only fitting that I show my gratitude to God somehow. ... I know God likes gifts... maybe I'll do something for Him with that money I got.
