St. Louisville

St. Louis was a good week. I reconnected with people, smoked some hookah, met some new people and had a lot of fun. I will be back soon I promise :-!. I don't know what that emoticon means...

I'm sorry I didn't have time to see everyone I promised I would see this time around but next time. There's always next time.

I'm not happy with some of the things that happened this school year (the repressed asian part of me is focused on grades and medical school and etc.). But I can change. I know what I can do, what I can't, what I have to do, and what I can get away with not doing now so I will be coming up strong my big soph year!

I'm now off to Louisville tomorrow. May has been a long and fast-paced month. I havn't gotten any "real" down time yet. I don't really expect any until July. I'm perfectly fine with that ;D. Oh shit I need to pack. And evaluate my political views in light of all the conservative bible belters I will surely meet and interact with the next six weeks. Maybe it's finally time when X learns to keep his mouth shut? Hahaha... if only...

I miss all of you! You know who you are...

Sophmoric Me

Freshman year has been quite the learning experience I must say. If I could go back, I would do a few things differently. But now's not the time for regrets; I still have plenty of time to "fix" some things.

One of them is living in Risley freshman year. Although I love my close friends here and my dorm, it's just not the same as Dickson or Donlon. I went with Jen to Dickson the day before my last final (i know, genius move right?) and the people there were, shockingly enough, normal people it seemed like. I never meet those people in Risley (and that has both its positives and its negatives I guess). Anyway, I'm sure next year will bring more acquaintances that are less... Risley? I dunno, we'll see. Oh, and new freshmen next year!

I swear, most the people I meet outside are greek. They're pretty cool too. Although I sincerely doubt that I will join a frat, rushing sounds enticing... Also, the allure of collegetown is inexorable.

Grades grades grades... Fuck biology.

Oh, and I'm in Canda right now and then 23rd=STL!!! After that, 6 weeks of Louisville for an internship so I'm gonna be not-bored for the next 8 weeks it seems. What then after that? I guess work+classical voice training? I'm so close to that tenor range ahhhhhh.

Something From Nothing

Last night was fan-fucking-tastic! Though we didn't do anything, I had one of the best nights I've had in a while; I have the impromptu Polaroid picture to prove it as well. People are awesome, I love people...

1 final down, 2 to go. I might of fucked up really bad on the biology final but you know what, I just want a B. Not even like a B+, if I can get a B, I will be very very happy even though I put more work into that class than people can imagine. Though, not as much work as everyone else in that class but still; it was not the easiest of classes.

That essay on Oral Formulaic theory was really killing me at first but I manned up and owned that shit.

I still haven't started chem yet. I am a slacker.

Oh, Dutch people aren't from Denmark. I know they're from the Netherlands. I KNOW dammit!

Crash and Burn

Well it's the day after slope day and I don't have a hangover! wooooooooo. Yesterday was a pretty good day; I've had better but it was a pretty successful slope day I would say. Started off the day by going to Chem lab for 10 minutes and then trying to find somewhere to drink. A kind of-aged person was generous enough to supply my friend and I. Afterwards, Theta Drug it is (that place is mad sketchy). Then, of course, the slope! Hot Hot Heat were AMAZING!!!!! I left as soon as they were done (who gives a shit about Gym Class Heros?). But yea, it was raining a little and people (me) were going crazy. After some eating, drinking and talking at the Risley "frat," it was off to Llenroc. Guess who was there?!?!?! HOT HOT HEAT!!!!! It was so tight, I was talking to the lead singer about how much Gym Class Heros sucked, it was great! Then after an impromptu party and some omelettes, the night slowly faded away.

I have a 2000 word essay about Oral Formulaic Old Norse literature. It's due on Monday. I have not started. :-(

Freshman year definitely taught me a few things about life I must say. None of those lessons were very enjoyable but they will be useful throughout my college experience for sure. Here's to more life lessons!

My mom called me yesterday while I was a little intoxicated. I don't remember everything I said to her. That maybe wasn't the best idea I've ever had.

3 by Sunday morning? I tried, but it ain't happening. Well, who knows, I still have a whole day...
