second semester of college

After my trip to Washington D.C., I boarded on a plane and went straight home, only to spend the rest of the day resting and getting ready for school. Life after spending every day in ease and enjoying the pure bliss of doing absolutely nothing, sadly came to an end as I began my second semester of college. I have classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. 10 full hours of studying, listening to lectures, trying hard not to fall asleep. I start the day at 6 a.m. and go to school at 7 a.m. and from there on I'm rushing from class to class, for I only have a 15 minute break, and end my last class at 6:45 p.m. Well, enough about my stressful college life, my father has all the pictures I took on my trip around the country, and I will soon be able to post them one by one. :)

You know those days when you feel depressed and the once, bright world suddenly dims and seems like a cruel and unforgivable place? Well, yesterday was one of those days...one of those days that I felt really depressed and felt a pang of loneliness and a sudden longing for a company..any kind of company. I'd like to claim yesterday an experience where I felt like I had been pushed into a deep, vast ocean of despair and shame. An ocean, not a small lake or even a puddle. For the 100th time, I felt powerless and frustrated at myself for not being able to stand up for myself and it was during this time and day that my friends came to the rescue. I'm very grateful to have such caring and loving friends whom I can rely on immediately without being rejected. I know that on a single call, my two best friends will be able to come out flying, running, driving, or even teleport in an instant to help me. Yesterday started out with me feeling like an empty shell, but after spending the rest of the day was spent with me and my friends shopping and fooling around, I was able to revert back to my original, cheerful self. I'm really not the type to dwell on something for that long or break down and cry.. but today was an exception. It's pretty embarrassing to look back on how ugly I must have looked sobbing as I shared a heart to heart talk with my best friends, but it was all worth it in the end. Bunny and Jessica. I love you all very much. :) You guys are like the peas to my pod, the cocoa to my hot chocolate, the shining existence of my life.

kisses to my besties

Winter break is almost over and I am already trembling with anticipation for my spring classes. I've already bought most of the books needed for my classes and ended up spending a total of 400 bucks. Not bad not bad. Speaking of winter break, it snowed here in Las Vegas just yesterday. Since Las Vegas is a desert, we rarely get any snow out here. Although it stopped snowing and quickly dissolved the moment I woke up from my slumber, it was still a nice change to actually experience this moment of a true winter wonderland. This week, I'll be gone for ten days on a cross country trip with my father and seven other middle school kids. My father's the one who's planning the trip, since he works at a traveling agency, and I get to go for free. :) We'll be visiting various states such as Arizona, Utah, New York, Washington, etc.,. Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy this trip and spend some quality time with my father. Sorry if this post is a bit choppy and underdeveloped...It's midnight and I'm already tired.  I'll try to update more before I leave on Friday. :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hello 2011 and Goodbye 2010. 

2010 has been a year filled with excitement, intensity, sorrow, pain, great deal of change, hello's and goodbye's. During the start of 2010, I was filled with dread and was stressed out at the numerous tasks I had to fulfill in order to enroll in my university. Cramming for AP exams, trying to pass my classes with all A's, doing extra curricular activities, trying to successfully graduate from National Honor Society, signing up for Fafsa, enrolling in UNLV... everyday was filled with exhaust and hope as I was on the verge of undermining my ability in being able to surpass my last year of high school with great success. In the end I have achieved it all and towards the middle of the year, I finally graduated from my four year high school with my high honors diploma and became successfully enrolled in a university. Walking down the red isle to accept my diploma, I looked straight ahead of me and began to look forward for a new beginning and a new challenge. Although it was hard to say my goodbye's to my dear friends who have decided to attend universities at another state, I encouraged them and we all vowed for great success, one without regret and one with relief and sheer determination. With the end of my high school years, came summer vacation where I took a trip to Kona Big Island, Hawaii and then to South Korea. It was a time full of cherished memories, happiness, and bliss. Soon after, August came around and I started my new life as a college student. Everyday was met with challenge, and I can now look back and exclaim to the world that last year has been a great year. But now it's time to look take another step forward and to brace myself for a new year, a new beginning, and a new possibility. 2011, HERE I COME! :)
