And now for the yearly update...

Well, what can I say?  I forget things, my blog being one of them. 

Paper done (several mother-burning weeks of torment all wrapped up in one, neat 9 page package), now it's time for finals. Fun...

Time literally grew wings and flew this semester, fall semester seemed oh so much slower than spring, freshman year coming to a close, annnnnd I have a $100 gift card to Starbucks due to lack of otherways to redirect those lovely non-transferable dining dollars into some form I can actually use. 

Also, I've tried starting something that looks like a writing blog for all those story ideas I've told a few of you about.  I'll post the link here once something half decent is actually posted on it.  Right about now, it's lively as this one here.

That's all for this entry, now time to go cram as much knowledge into my head as humanly possibly.  Only today and tomorrow left 'till finals are upon me.

Still alive suprisingly enough...

   Hello out there to anyone who still reads this.  Been busy and have been neglecting the blog lately.  I'm thinking I should get back into the swing of updating at least once month or something.  Anywho, school's been as evil as always, professors aren't much better, and I'm tired.  In other words, nothing out of the ordinary.
   I just read the song lyrics my sister posted on her blog.  She's got a real talent for writing, but those song lyrics she wrote were as angsty as an emo kid.  Didn't know things were that rough for her, but I haven't really had much contact with either of my siblings save for the times I visit home.  And even then I get little or no conversation with them.  I'm trying to be more social, but not as much as I would have liked to be, but meh.  No idea what else to write as of now, so off I go.

New place

   Well, just moved in yesterday, and finally think I'm for the most part settled and have unpacked 95% of all my stuff.  As of now, trying to be social and meet new people, and I've met some people, which more than likely I won't see for a while once class actually starts, but hey, I tried.  Things are going alright with Jen as my roommate and all.  Strangest thing is, I'm actually wanting class to start already.  It'll give me something to do and keep my mind off getting homesick. 
   Still trying to get a better feel for the campus though, I still walk around looking at maps and stuff.  I just hope I don't have to sprint from one side of the campus to another. That and I hope I get a better feel for the roads around here too.  But overall, I think I'm doing alright.  Once again, running out of fodder for the writing cannon. I'll update later once class starts or whenever I feel like it.

Boredom at the place I least expected

   Nothing like sitting here in the doctor's lounge typing on a computer and hoping I won't have to be here long.  This keyboard sucks.  Anyhow, this started off as one of those mini road trips for practice on how to get to college and back, when dear old Dad decides on the way back home, we'd stop my the hospital so he could make his rounds.  Joy, elation, and much bliss.  Currenty kinda drowsy, even though I am glad to get off the road for a break.  That's what I get for having bonding time with my Gamecube from 1-2am in the morning.  So much food in the lounge.  Tempted to take one of those instant soups with me when we leave...
   Went to go see a movie for the first time in months on Thursday.  The special occasion you ask?  A certain someone that I haven't seen in a good while was in town. We went to go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, pretty good movie in my opinion.  If you've seen the older version, the newer one is a bit darker, but more true to the original story written by Rohal Dahl (first name is probably spelled wrong since I'm getting this off the top of my head).  Burton does an excellent job with his movies (and I see a trend of Johnny Depp in them too, which is never a bad thing).  Anyways, after the movie was done, we'll talked for a bit outside the theater.  The idea that Oompa Loopas are asexual (the certain someone I was referring is to blame for this thought)  and the fact my sister's pinapple bag is now named Bacon were both products of our conversation. Disturbing, but what else do you expect from a group of 4 asian teenagers.  Looks like Dad is wrapping things up. Good thing too, I'm still kinda sleepy, wanna get home already.

Random thoughts for a random update

   Wow I'm terrible at updating this thing.  Maybe I'll get better once I've actually started college.  Speaking of which, I've practiced driving there and back (I so wouldn't have made it without cruise control).  I'll be going for another round this weekend too.  Joy.
   Can't believe I'm going to be in college already.  It's one of those "OMG! WE'RE ALL GROWN UP  T_T"
moments, only they tend to occur when someone says/does something that jogs my memory about college and all.  Speaking of growing up, it's amazing how some people who are "grown-up" are hopeless.  Just watch any show like Jerry Springer or Maury and you'll find loads of them.  Amazing what people would do to get on TV.  That and they seem to have little or no shame in what they've done and how humiliating it is for the receiver of the news.  "Oh baby, I love you but I'm cheating on you with 20 other women, including your best friend, you sister, etc." Please, if this isn't low, I don't know what is.  With stories like that, no wonder people are having same sex relationships, since all the straight ones seem to be going down the tubes in all.  Stuff like that really shouldn't be televised for daytime TV where any young impressionable kids could watch stuff like that.  Society these days...
   Meh, weather like this is better spent daydreaming instead of ranting about how crappy society has gotten. Time to go back to mindlessly doing nothing. Again. I'm out of rant for now.

Stairs o.o;

   This actually should have been yesterday instead of today, but I'll type about it anyway.  Went to see the Empire State Building yesterday.  Lines? Not that bad since it was inside and there was a/c.  Elevator?  Kinda cramped, but bearable, aside the fact I nearly got elbowed in the face.  Stairs?  Had to climb SIX flights of stairs in order to get to the top since there were so many people and there were really long lines for the elevators that would carry people up to the top.  Here was how it felt as I climbed the stairs:

1st: Bah, too easy.

2nd: Getting there.

3rd: Getting tired...

4th: So close yet so very very far... 
5th: I can't feel my knee caps... 

6th: Aasdfljdlfjd, kill me now  x.x

For the rest of the day, stairs felt like murder on my legs.  Too bad there were stairs everywhere.

   Today was alright also, took a three hour cruise around the island, got a few good shots of the Statue of Liberty and other things.  A certain sister of mine insisted that we go shopping (and we all know how I love to shop, I love it like I love eating broken glass.) and in the shop that we went to in Chinatown, I saw what the other sister of mine called " a commie hat."  Basically, it was green military hat with a red star on it, I have a picture of it I can post once I get home and upload those pictures.  Other than that, the day was pretty average for a vacation day in NYC.  Except for the part where I accidentally bumped into some black lady and she starts spouting out all this profanity and numerous explictives.  I have a feeling some were geared toward me, but I couldn't understand what the heck she was saying so I did what anyone else would do, say sorry and keep on walking. 

   Homeward bound tomorrow, so I'll be glad to get out of the city.  It's a different experience to say the least, but I'd have to say I'm not much of a city person.  Too crowdy and noisy for my tastes.  I seriously think all the second hand smoke from here took a few years of my life.  Back to the suburbs for me where the air is cleaner to an extent and there's alot more space.  XD

From NYC

I'm writing this from my dad's laptop, so if my typing is more flawed than usual, I blame the crappiness of a laptop keyboard. Anyhow, NYC is alright, but I'd have to say I'm not one for big cities. I had one heck of a time trying to sleep last night. I think i actually slept/passed out around 4-5am and woke up around 9-10ish due to parents and my sisters. I felt so dead this moring and I'm feeling slightly dizzy now. We did a ton of walking today, as in I wanted to trade in my feet for a new pair kind of tired. We walked around Times Square and went to China Town. We saw this one parade there that was apparently for veterans or something since a large part of it were groups of old asian men and women that had apparently served in the army or navy. One of them was a really pale, scrawny person in a wheelchair (in my opinion, he shouldn't have to be out in the sun.) And since one of my sisters (won't mention which one) thought that she should take sooo many pictures of just the parade, I have less than 40 shots in my digital camera. That wouldn't be so bad if this was the last day, but it's not. On top of that, the memory stick I have is supposed to hold about 156 pictures. -.-; Ah well, I'll just go delete a few dozen or something. And on another note, graduation is over, getting on with my life, and probably not going to see alot of people for a very long time. It's kinda sad when I think about it, but I think I got the depression during the school year. Either way, I'm not as sad about it as some people are. Maybe I'm just weird like that. Orientation is next week, how fun...

Updation at long last

   Blargh, finally updating since someone hinted that I haven't updated(*coughDAKOTAcough*).  Just got back from Nadeeka and Billy's birthday dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.  Food was great, and I had a good time (even though I got stuck with these two strange people for a while. They were just off in their own world and were irritating enough for me to want to put those two forks at my right to use...Hey, death by having a fork lodged in your skull isn't that bad of a way to go, it'd make one heck of a news story.)  I got cheesecake though, so I'm happy.
   Not looking forward to Monday at all.  Stupid Dr. Lee and his timed writings.  The econ final isn't looking good either, and that's the only final I have to take (thank goodness  x.x).  Here's hoping I don't screw up and not graduate, that'd really suck.  Not graduating just because of one bitter old man for a teacher and all I mean.  Ah well, life goes on.
   Anyways, birthday has passed, Jenifer keeps saying I'm old (I'm only a year and 4-5 months older than her and she calls me old  -.-;;;;) and my new liscense has yet to come in the mail so I'm stuck with the ever so lovely paper one for now.  Joy.

Meh-ness

   Well so much for trying to update more often.  I blame my procrastination and my ever so loving black hole memory.  Now if had actually remembered to write a few days ago, I'm pretty sure I could have come up with many rants and other things I saw or thought of throughout the day.  Too bad the two words 'I' and 'forgot' seem to be inseperable soul mates, since I find myself using them both in one simple sentence at least a good 5 times a week.  How troublesome.
   Today was typical, woke up, school, found out my econ timed writing grade (actually that was the high point of today since I got a 90, first time i've gotten an A on something worth more than a homework grade o.o), went to that bubbling session for the AP exam (can't believe those are already next week and guess who hasn't studied?), and then went for the movie night (even though it took place at around 3:30) for Spanish NHS.  The movie was good, even though it was all in spanish with the actors speaking fast enough to make a native speaker's head spin (yay-ness for subtitles). 
   Anyways, I've been thinking of writing my own original story lately.  I have some ideas that are still floating around and still trying to think of a decent plot.  That and trying to think of character names. 

...

Here's a scary closing thought, me trying to salsa dance, which is something I might end up doing Thursday (the things I do to stay in Spanish NHS...)

Curse my memory...

   Thought I'd update today and write something relatively meaningful and/or entertaining.  Instead, all I have is this mindless drabble.

...

   Well, econ still sucks and that timed writing we did didn't help one bit (if anything, my grade has just been made worse).  Chances for econ are pretty non-existant right about now and I'm hoping I either get one of those spurts of genius (which is extreme rare to the infinite power) and or something short of a miracle happens.
   In other news, it occurred to me that my memory is a black hole.  Every piece of information that get to it gets sucked in and never comes back out.  There are some fortunate ones that don't get lost for enternity, unfortunately, those come at all the wrong times and/or completely useless. For example, here's the recap of what was going through my head while I was taking the Things Fall Apart Test:

Inner Me #1:  *trying to remember the novel*

Inner Me #2: *sleeping*

Inner Me #3: *playing Maroon 5 songs*

Inner Me #4: *thinking of random story plotlines*

Inner Me #5: Why the @#$! am I thinking this now!?!

   I have come to the conclusion that being normal and sane is highly overrated.


*5 mintues laters*

@#$! thing posted this entry 3 times!

*5 more minutes later*

Still deleting...   -.-***

Conclusion: I hate you too blogdrive.
