Never Before!

Amazing

Never in my life had i ever been so focused on school...For the first time in EVER, I can totally do hw/study for hours at a time without being distracted. I think it might be the whole "you can do whatever the heez you want in college" thing thats motivating me all the way. For one thing, i can succeed, or i can fail. And fail is not something i want to do. For another, if i fail now or do badly, it would be MY fault. What a horrible concept.

Classes are quite the place to make new friends; that and living in a dorm. I feel like I'm meeting new people everywhere i go! Not only that, I'm totally discovering new things in old people. A few examples:

1.) the other day jun and i were talking about going to the gym:

me: hmm....i actually only want to get rid of my butt. you know, make it concave.
jun: really?? i want to be firm! holy shit!

2.) jinwan is a total girl. (: in a good way of course!

(our group walking to the gym. Upon seeing a branch on the ground...)
jinwan: AHHH!!!! (like a girl) oh i thought it was a rat. phew!

3.) Elton and i had a totally normal conversation, all by ourselves. No weridness. After 7 years of mutual "hate", i say that's quite an acheivement. Maybe we can be friends afterall!

(I noticed all my "examples" ended in exclamation marks...har har har)

Anyways, college is quite awesome. Except for physics. Thankfully i have my awesome Darius dawg to help me with my stupidity for things unlearned. (:

The Arc

I think college is starting to sink in. I can already tell its going to be loads of fun+work+lots more.

So half an hour ago i came back to my room from the arc (gym). Lets see....its 12:41, and when we left, the gym was quite busy. I guess I'm not the only one who doesnt want to gain that freshman 15. Goal number one is on its way to being accomplished. YEAAAYUH. im soo good. har dee har har. (:

Home Away from Home

Today is my third day in Irvine. Departing from San Diego was bittersweet, more bitter than sweet. I realized all the things i was going to leave behind and i was a sad sad child. I think the moment leading up to college was more fun than actually going there. Move- day went smoothly. My parents took my roomate and I to buy food and then we all celebrated my mum's birthday that night by eating at a Korean place kind of like Tofu House. It was delicious! My paretns and i said our goodbyes and there was a fleeting moment when i wanted to go back home with them. But dont worry...it was fleeting. Anyways, yesterday was pretty uneventful because there were still people moving in. Jun and i visited Monica in Arroya Vista and then we met up with a whole bunch of wv peoples later to go to Cha (boba place). Seriously, wv ppl dominate uci's campus. So sad....oh well! Then at night we played icebreaking games in our dorm.



Today everyone woke up early and slept through the Dean's welcoming thing. There was a HUGE thing afterwards where all the clubs tried to recruit people; basically, club rush on steroids. Sororities shoved postercards into our hands and we were hailed by crazy dragon boaters and japanese archers....it was quite epic. Later more hanging out with westview kids and cracking dirty jokes...*sigh, we're so immature (:

blehhh im butt tired.

September 11th

It's september 11th yet again: My ss#1's birthday and the day america got b slapped in the face. I was reading my earliest journal; the one that contains, maybe not all but most of the horrors of my middle school years. It made me laugh at how ridiculous i use to be (or maybe still am). It must suck for Helen, that her day is linked to America's day of tragedy. As for me, 9/11 still seems surreal, in fact more so now than 7 years ago. I still remember sitting in the kitchen watchin the twin towers collapse beforemy eyes that day. Here's what my 10 year old self had to say about it:

9/11 was a sad day for everyone, except for the bitches who planned it i bet.

o.o jeez! i was an angry child. Well, i spent the day in honor of 9/11, trying and failing to do a proper handstand. I nearly broke my neck and the glass table in the living room too. Then i ripped open the new october issue of Lucky magazine and lusted over shoes for about an hour. And of course, when i got too depressed staring at "this falls hottest trends", i broke out those old journals and laughed out loud to how incredibly moronic i was/am.

*sigh...God bless America

Lesson Learned

i went to the dentist YET AGAIN today. I think he bruised the inside of my mouth. Can that even happen? Anyways, he was fixing the other side of my mouth that he didnt fix last week today. The entire time he kept saying "oh...this is a big one (drill drill), this one's really big (drill) hmmm, nope, this is bigggg (DRILL)." Yup imagine how i felt sitting there, utterly helpless. But for whatever messed up reason, even when i was horrified and tense, i also had the mad desire to laugh. Good thing i contained myself. So first he numbed the top of my mouth and said "hopefully we wont have to numb the bottom." But he did, 30 seconds into drilling one of my bottom teeth, i felt a HUGE undesirable pain. It turns out that due to whatever reason, numbing the bottom of a mouth causes MORE numbness than numbing the top. It was werid and did not easily allow me to perform normal mouth funtions like swollowing/spitting/licking/biting. Needless to say, i was drooling everywhere and i left the office with a drooping face.

I'm never eating candy again.

Nostalgia

Tonight was welcome freshman night at cbc. I totally dont recall what my freshman welcome night was like or even if i had one. But it was fun...I felt sad that when the time came to pass around the list that determined which group everyone was in; my name wasnt on it. I feel slightly uneasy leaving all this behind. But hopefully when im actually in the midst of "actual" college, the excitement will outweigh my apprehension. But tonight was fun, a little nostalgic but d-dawwwg was there. (:

So i have confirmed with my mini me that tomarrow, sdys kicks off this year musically.

Amanda: itll come out with moles that fell outta his butt.

hahahahaha....so only a few will actually get who/what we were talking about. But what it made ME remember, was how much I'm going to miss sdys. Call me a freak but, sdys was SO much fun. And now, after 6 years (i think?) of continual participation, I'm not so sure i know what im going to do with myself.

Again, i hope college will wipe my mind blank of all this things i'll be missing out on.

Bad Teeth

Jun's my roomie! middle earth, evenstar baby!

I cannot WAIT till college. All this anticipation is killing me and the worst part is, i feel like im just getting my hopes up.

So lately, i've been reading lots of harry potter and playing lots of freecell, solitaire and minesweeper on my computer. On saturday, i went to the dentist and found out that i had 4 cavities and 2 places where my gum was worn down too much. Actually, 2 of the "cavities" are actually, "almost cavities." But still...This sucks. I guess after a long time of having no cavities, i should have seen this coming. I thought "i guess i was bound to have loads of cavities all at once". Or does it not work that way? Anyways...the worn down gums mean i brush my teeth too hard. This is something my dentist and parents kept warning me about but i never really thought much of it. Im sadly paying for it now. The exact words my doc used were "we have to get that fixed before you go to college." I really don't want to know what THAT means. But yea...after countless praises for my teeth from everyone including my dentist, 4 cavities and 2 sensitive gums bite me in the butt and tell me "you suck at taking care of your teeth." oh, and i need to floss more often.

anywyas...im going to go back to waiting for college and reading my harry potter.
