I moved into my dorm one week ago. The last week was full of events so I don”t know where to start. Classes started and I can”t say I enjoy them. Chemistry is going to be the class that kills me. It’’s actually already killing me. On one of the first day of classes, I already was thinking about ditching a class that was so far away from campus. Not a good beginning I gotta say but I”m glad I went even though I had to walk a fuckton TO the bustop. My dorm is so fary away from everything. It seemed like a good idea last year; its supposedly the best dorm to live in sophomore year.
Friendships. It’’s funny how they work. A lot of my friendships at school has altered. I”m not sure if it did in a positive way or what. But I know they have. People have gotten a lot more emotional and needy. I can”t say I”m not speaking for myself though. I”m over here trying not to be that way with the boyfriend and it’’s working since he can disappear for several days without saying a word to me. Last night was an eyeopener to me. I had a couple of friends come in for the concert last night. The couple of friends that I made during the summer whom I love sooo much. Talk about meeting genuinely good people. You”d wish you were in my position, I can tell. You start off making soo many friends and time begins to go by, you inevitably consciously pick the ”good” ones out.
Gah this is all too much for me to handle right now. Trying to do well in classes while trying to be a good person. One person can only do so much.

My boobies may be getting bigger. On a more appropriate note, this picture was taken by me during the wedding. It’’s my brother and I while we were following my sister around the garden like paparazzis. Oy I just accidently picked one of my eyebrow hairs; I thought it was a pimple. Anyways. I”m going to Raleigh for a day to visit Ong gia because it’’s his birthday. He’’s turning a-whoopin” 19 years old! hehee. Then a couple of days I”m moving there for good! I”m not really lookin forward to the suite rooms cuz they”re just nasty but I don”t think that will be a problem, I think I”ll be at Ong Gia’’s place for half of the time.
Edit: My brothers birthday is today ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! lol And
Ong Gia’’s birthday is on the 16th. So many events this week!

Happy Birthday to my mom! This picture really doesn’t have anything to do with my mom except that fact that she’s one of our customers since the month she was born. She’s now five years old and loves to get her nails polished. This one day when she got it done, after having them painted (as you can see) she fell right asleep while the nails were drying. Another customer of ours thought it was adorable so she captured it.
I’m going to back school on the 18th and I must say, I”m quite..estatic. I’m hoping for an awesome semester and I’m hoping to grow a lot as a person; to be more aware of my surroundings and to put myself in other people’’s shoes, especially the ones I care about. One little decision can effect the way they think and feel about it and I just have to be really ..selfless. I need to not care as much about the judgements that will come my way and I have to accept that fact that not everyone will agree with the path I chose or the decision I made. That’’s just the way life is.

Musty and I

|
I was talking to a friend online last night and she mentioned if she were to relive one day of the summer she’d choose ____. So I got to thinking..what about me ! Which day would I choose and why?
So this question wasn’t fair. I had 3 completely different parts of summers. Summer school in June with my apartment, Travelling and spending time with family in July and staying at home and working in August. So to make that fair for me..I’m going to choose 3 days.
But wait, since I’ve got a horrible memory and I’m coping out (just like Stewie did) I’m going to choose the highlights of each month. teehee
June - Being able to hang out with most of my friends and meeting new people. I loved having the apartment, it was a new sense of freedom and I loved being able to come back at 4am anytime without my parents breathing on my backs. Wait, I loved being able to go out period. I really didn’t want June to end. I took a summer course which I ACED the fuck out of and I went to the pool religiously.
Talk about a perfect summer. I bonded with current friends and I made new friends. I’m seriously grateful of the time I got to spend with all of them and I wish I could relive that feeling.
July - Seeing my family in California again was the highlight of this month. Unconditional love. I love it, don’t you? No matter how far you are or how long you’ve seen each other, when you see them, there’s a sense of security and love you can’t comprehend. When my mom reunited with her best friends, my heart melted. My mom is a family person. She doesn’t really believe in putting too much effort in people outside of the family because she was raised that way. But to have a couple of best friends in CA, I knew right then and there when they reunited, there was unconditional love. When one person was going through a midlife crisis, I sensed the infinite amount of joy brought to them as their best friends showed up for a couple of hours. You don’t know how to act, you don’t know how to feel but all you need to know is that they’re lifetime friends with unconditional love who will always be there for you even if you only call one another twice a year.
My sisser got married (finally) to the love of her life after like 4534534 years. Her new family are great people and she was definitely blessed to have met them all. To see two people so in love with one another and start a future together, you have a sigh of relief inside of you that says “this could happen to me one day.” 
August - Well August haven’t really ended yet but I see the highlight of this month is the new addition in the household. My aunt and her two kids just arrived from Vietnam to start a better life in the US. They’re given another chance and we’re here to help. They’ve definitely bought a lot of happiness to the family and they’re nothing like the family before them. lol Oops, did I just say that?
So this summer was a great one but I think I’m fucking ready to go back to school. I’m ready to try out these classes and ace them all. I think I’m finally motivated.

To ease myself and others around me, I need to stop worrying so much about nonsense things. People can be forgiven, people can change. Trust can be restored with enough time and patience. How much time and patience one may ask? If only I knew because it’s killing the fuck out of me. I want to be able to forgvie and forget but it’s not as easy as it sounds.
I need to take the chill pill. I need to try to trust. I’ve realized that I haven’t really even began trying to trust again. I’m always trying to find things that would break the trust even more; to get in the way of trusting completely once again. I just need assurance. I need a lot of assurance. Maybe a hint or two every 5 minutes? Yeah, that’d be nice.

Maintaining relationships used to be my sorta thing. Keeping in touch was easy. I’m not sure what happened. You try to save one relationship while the other goes down the drain. You try to help a person out while the other doesn’t appreciate. You try giving the effort but you can imagine how hard it is when it isn’t appreciated. Unconditional love in friendships are what I ask for more than ever. You have the time to screw up without the relationship being altered in any way. But that’ s what friendships are all about right? You have to put yourself out there, to be selfless while having fun, to love them no matter how they change. I want my friendships to remain the same, but that’s a lot to ask for. You grow up with your best friends and the moment you change, they back off. But it isn’t solely their fault. It’s so easy getting caught up with recent occurances. I just wish for unconditional love in friendships thats all.

It’s that time of the year where school related supplies are tax free. NOT! I went to Best Buy today hoping to get a good deal buying something kind of pricey and getting it tax free. I purchased a 320 gb external hard drive and it wasn’t tax free. It is so school related! They said the only way I could get it tax free was if I got that with a computer. PSH.
Spending the weekend in Raleigh with Michael at his new apartment. It’s pretty decent place. I knew I missed Raleigh but when I drove through Hillsborough I realized the word ‘missed’ didn’t describe it enough. I can’t wait to get back and I am really not looking forward to dorm living and classes that I don’t have. I seriously think I should take a semester off from school but I’m not going to. Just gonna waste time and money and take nonsense classes to make the parents proud. 
Enough I’m bored.
