College isn't that Bad

College isn't that bad when you make friends. Though I still haven't mastered the art of friendmaking, since I have sort of been leaching off my old friends by making friends with their friends.I find it hard to meet people by myself. I dunno why.

Haven't gone to a party and will most likely never go to one. Maybe one, just to see the pure senseless of it. Though seeing people in a drunken stupor doesn't exactly scream my ideal Saturday night, I've never actually seen a drunken person before. Though I'm sure the sight isn't exactly pretty.

I've sort of learned how to play pool, but I'm so bad at it. I'm really bad at math (angles) and never took physics, so that could be partly why I suck so bad.

So much HW to do. I have so much reading just piling up, literally sometimes.

Plus it's hard to be healthy here. There is way too much starch on carbs on carbs. Pizza, potatoes, pasta, etc. The only seemingly healthy thing is salads, but I hate eating them. Their vegetarian options are for ex: deep fried eggplant bites..... for real? That is not exactly my idea of healthy.

Also people at this school really don't dress up. A lot of people wear sweats or a shirt with the school's name o it. Esp. on the weekend. I feel like a sore thumb or a freakshow because when I put together a nice outfit, which really doesn't take that long, it seems like I tried super hard, but I just put on some clothes. Since I don't wear makeup, it's pretty much the same as if I put on a school t-shirt and some sweats. I would never roll out of bed with just my PJ's. That is just ....

Well it's only been the second week of school, so yup...

Lesson learned, friends make college better.

At College

Yup... Here I am (somewhere, use your imagination of a typical American University). I'm pretty unsociable and not very good at making friends. So epic fail on my part. I'm just horrible at connecting with people and after some very awkward small talk (like what is your major or where are you from) I don't know what to do after that.

I have some old friends here, but I really want to make new ones. (sad face). I'm going to watch some Arashi videos tomorrow to pump myself up. I haven't laughed in like a week, maybe that's why I'm a bit unapproachable now. People can sense my "dark" aura. I guess I seem bored a lot of the time, which I can be.

College textbooks are so dang expensive. The prices are insane. Yup. That's all.

Off to College in a Week (fine 9 days)

I'm not sure if I'm excited or not. I sort of just want to get away from my house because my parents constantly nag me (don't all parents do?). But I'm nervous of what is to come. I think the biggest thing is besides academics and making friends is living at school. Plus eww communal showers, I really don't want to wear flip flops in the shower, but don't want any nasty diseases or what not. I have had 3 roommate changes and you'd think I get over the shock of a new email saying, "Hey, I'm your new roomie."

Got a Toshiba Satellite... The sound is good which was very important to me because I like listening to music on my PC and my laptop will double as a TV/entertainment system for me. I just dislike the keyboard, it feels very flimsy and I like keyboards that are very crisp. Sometimes when I type fast some letters won't show up because I guess it didn't register, I dunno. I just don't really like the feel of it.

Glarg.

Also my sister is getting her wisdom teeth pulled out today, not all 4 just 2. That sucks for her. I already felt the pain and it SUCKS. I could only eat oatmeal and ice-cream. The painkillers that they give you don't work. And the needle they stick into your gums hurts the most. Now I have to go hold her hand while they rip them out of her. It's going to be bloody as my mom told me mines was. Sigh.

Got a Haircut

I got a haircut. Trying out side bangs and now its shoulder length. I have really fine hair, so the hairdresser gave me really choppy layers which I believe will grow out really weird and I wanted the side bangs to be chin length, so I could tuck it behind my ears but she cut it above my ears which is really annoying. Oh well. It's a decent haircut and I was in dire need of one.

Scratch that: I hate this haircut. I asked the lady to make sure the layers weren't choppy and guess what: they are really choppy. My sister says my hair looks like its from an anime. Arg.

New Phone Finally and Happy Fourth of July!!!!

Yay!! I got a new phone today, finally after having the same one for 5 years. I had a flip phone by Nokia and since I'm going off to college in like 2 months (less than that actually), I need a new phone so I can keep in touch with my family and friends. So yay, my first smartphone. People (like my mom) were like just get an iphone, but I have an itouch, so I don't see the point in getting an iphone because they are very similar. Plus, the interface gets boring. So I was researching and stumbled across the Nokia Lumia 900, and after that I was hooked. I think the clincher for me was that it came in this brilliant color: cyan (it's a really bright blue). I hate just black and white phones or gray and I know that you can get a case, but I dunno it's just not the same to me.

So it's pretty awesome so far, the sucky thing is that I got the $20 data plan which is like 300 mb which equates to nothing pretty much which is such a ripoff, it should be like $5. So really worried anything I may download like apps will use data and cost extra. Glarg, this sucks. Oh well, love the new phone.

So my sister got a black HTC One X and it seems pretty cool as well, but so complicated. I am technological clumsy and inept, so I like how the windows phone is relatively simple to use. So if you are thinking of getting a smartphone give the Nokia Lumia 900 a whirl it's pretty cool.

Wuthering Heights

So I had to pick a book for my independent reading research paper/ oral presentation and I picked Wuthering Heights because I've never read it before and it's a classic and I thought I should read it before graduating high school. I heard from my sister that the characters are super unlikable and the book can get a bit depressing, so I was going in with the mindset that I would totally hate the book.

Well I wasn't very fond of the first volume which is the more well known and often portrayed in films because I kind of hate Heathcliff and Catherine (the 1st one). They are so evil, selfish, and snotty. Even as grown adults they are still selfish and child like, so I just can't like them. People say that their love is so tragic and romantic and what not. But I mean Catherine was picking money over love. She literally said that she cared about the short term consequences of her marriage to Linton even when Nelly warned her. Like, seriously? And she died from I guess a fit of some short? Like the ultimate temper tantrum killed her?

I actually liked Cathy Linton and Hareton Earshaw's story better. I hated kid Linton. What a brat. Hareton is definitely my favorite character. He tried his best to teach himself how to read and write to impress Cathy and he tried to be a gentleman in her presence though he grew up a boor though it wasn't really his fault. But Cathy can be quite cruel and mean to him which I didn't like at all. But I'm happy they got together in the end.

Another thing that was really annoying to me besides WAY TOO MUCH DRAMA. Is that the kid's names are Linton and Catherine (aka Cathy). Really? It gets even more confusing this way. Also that's kind of gross because they are all like 1st cousins. Yeesh. Some real wicked mutations going to be swimming in that gene pool.

Well the book wasn't that bad it was actually quite good. Now I have a research paper due in like a day and I just finished the book. Now I got to get articles and write a research paper with Noodlebib and think of some kind of presentation. Super stressed though totally still procrastinating.

Banged my leg twice now have bruise. In purple stage.

Also I don't have summer clothes, I'm more of a winter prepared person. Even though I hate the cold (at least you can warm yourself up). I literally melt in the heat. I'm one of those people who get super red in the face really fast as soon as it gets a bit warm. It looks like I am severely dehydrated or something like that. So I only have like these super tight jean knee length pants that hurt when wearing. I believe if I wear them to often I may never have children. Jk. But seriously they hurt when wearing. Might just wear long pants and suffer the heat wave. Though it is becoming relatively cooler over the past few days to high 70's rather than 80's.

Also bought this pak from a dorm thing my college sent to me. The quality for some of this stuff really sucks. My mom thinks its fine while I am seriously disappointed because I begged her to get them and I hate them. Oh well if I get them dirty I don't care.

I want the Nokia Lumia 900 in Cyan. So cool. I have an itouch and ipod classic, so I don't need an iphone because its pretty much the same thing. BORING. I just want a simple, pretty phone that works well. And that's what the Lumia 900 is. Love love love love it. I want to get it.

Watching scary movies during classes. Like I am Legend and Blood Diamond. I hate guns and violence. I like happy cartoons or sappy romcons or funny films or action films that aren't scary. Easily scared person. Spiderman is scary because of the Green Goblin. Yup.

Staying Home

I am skipping school (with the permission of my mom) tomorrow for the 1st time. Good reasons though, not arbitrary at all. 1. It is AP week and we are literally not doing anything in any of my classes, so being there feels like a total waste of my time. 2. I have an AP Tuesday that I really haven't studied for, so I need to go study for that. 3. My academic adviser is calling tomorrow to help me create my schedule, so I want to be totally focused for that.

But this is my 1st time not going to school and I feel a bit nervous!! I mean I'm a senior, but I've never cut school or class ever. Not going back to class after an AP is legitimate and not cutting. But still worried on the off chance I might miss something!!

Also there is a fly somewhere in my room and I can not find it (it just disappeared!) Going to have trouble going to sleep knowing its in here with me. EWW!

Also a lot of my shows are getting canceled which sucks. Ex: Are you there, Chelsea?, GCB (it is just starting to get good), Best Friends Forever (eh, it's okay), etc. Sad face. I think I hate my Teenage Daughter is getting canceled as well after they finish showing the rest of the episodes in the summer. I know they aren't the best shows, but they aren't that bad. Sigh. Also so many season finales, now there is nothing to watch.

Oh well, swamped with final quarter projects and presentations (which I hate!!).

Sigh.
