Hahha... School's started and I couldn't be happier. My professors are pleasantly brilliant, I absolutely love them... each have their own zest to them, completely different teaching styles and personalities and I adore it... adds variety to my day.

Political Science 51 is surprisingly hard.. alot of reading on philosophers.. currently reading Plato's "Republic". Which is... the first and easiest of many readings for the semester. Yikes.

I spend my days.... cooking, cleaning, organizing, contemplating, planning and of course, going to school and doing homework. I haven't bothered with my social life, in fact most days I only hang out with my roommate. I've gotten pretty good at a variety of dishes.. I made a kick ass chicken curry, various chicken dishes, chinese cabbage, and still working on perfecting my spaghetti. I finally made rice porridge.... that didn't turn to super bloated rice lol.

I stay home and read alot.... both for school and for leisure. I've barely stepped out of the vicinity of school and work. When I do, it's to shop for more food or books for school.

Strangely enough, I'm not bored. This is less company than I've probably ever had in my life and I'm content!

My friends have gotten a hint and I've probably gotten less than... 50 texts in the last week? That's crazy. I used to get at least that in one day!

I'm oddly calm... I don't feel a need to do something or achieve anything at the moment. Not to say I'm not ambitious about school, cause I definitely am! but I guess I feel like I'm doing what I should be doing right now and don't need to move or do something else.


I'm planning on studying abroad. As many time as I can. Maybe as soon as this winter to South Africa. Wtf, I know. s. Af is obviously not my first choice of destinations but choices at a CC are limited and s.Af happens to be the program that starts the soonest. It's also supposed to be a great program! S. Africa is also filled with all white people. ;)

I like Chinese class... my Chinese is much more advanced than those of my peers in Chi 1... but I need to take it cause I don't know my "bopomofo's" -- I don't know how to read or write Chinese. If it were just for the grade, I wouldn't care and would've just took Chi 2.. but I'm taking this for personal benefit and future business ammo :). I spend much of class helping others with their pronunciation and it's pretty fun actually. My teacher is Shanghainese... Shanghainese + being voluntary TA = prof loves ya. But then again, all my professors love me ;).

I'm going to start doing charity work. Looking at "Reading to Kids" right now... was gonna do LoveLA with Sung but idk... picking up trash and mingling with the homeless is really not my thing. I'm gonna join a club (Either Asian Student Association or Entrepreneur Club. Or both). I'm gonna train for swimming again and maybe join the swim team. Tho my athletic ability has definitely declined since I was last state champ hahaha. In a year, I may run for president. =P Should I rephrase that? "In a year, if I feel like it, I'm gonna Be president". Lol.. Okay, my cockiness has not changed much. hahaha.

I might've mentioned this before, I don't remember, but after SMC I'm going to either go to USC, UCLA or Pepperdine or something... oooorr go to NYU. We shall see :) I'd love to go to Wharton... is that after USC?




I have a hard time looking at my professors in class. Or rather, I find it easier to not look at them. All the poker and sales is still fresh in my mind and when I look at them I start focusing less on the lecture and more on psychoanalyzing them. It's a great thing my teachers are intelligent.. I have a hard time respecting and learning from people I think are dumb... like the professors in Hawaii.

:):)

DK is landing in... 1 hour? Yaay :) 10 days of company. One of the few people I don't mind spending 24/7 with. Okay. 22/7. =P

Must try to go to sleep... Fashion district today!! :) Ikea this weekend! 6 flags if it's still open! ^___^ Ranch99 to buy chicken bullion! San Gabriel for massage & kiwi drink!!

:):)

I love my life. All stages of it =P
