Updates.

It's 3AM
and I like to stay up late to surf the net or watch some Law & Order: SVU on Hulu.

It's been two weeks of school so far. I've already missed 2 class days for no reason at all but I made sure to attend my night classes on those days. But classes are great. Just a lot of typical reading so far. However, I do feel these classes for this semester will give me a lot of useful knowledge that I will need in the future. I'm really excited for them and I will tackle them! I'm feeling confident.... at the moment.
For my Urban Anthropology class, we were assigned into groups and were given the task of "drifting" into neighborhoods. My group of three that did make it, chose to drift in the third ward and stumbled upon the MIAD's Industrial Design Foundations exhibit. There was a live band and good crowd. It felt good to be out and exploring again. I believe I need to do that more often just to spread my wings a little further each time.

It's the beginning of a new school semester so student orgs are welcoming back students. I attended the first meeting for ASU and HSA. I gott say, it feels different to be sitting on the other side as an audience, a regular member again after 2 years of being the President. However, a friend of mines who once was on the board, also thought it's hard to let go of that control and initiative to help out. We found ourselves helping out still and directing other members. It's definitely a whole new world once again. But I can't lie, it does feel refreshing. No more responsibility on my shoulders. No more pressure and a certain expectation as a leader.

Change of subject. I'm really hoping on getting a MacBook Air as soon as my GEAR UP grant gets in. I'm crossing my fingers! I received my first laptop in the second semester of my freshman year by my sister (making it 3-4 years) so it's not like my ASUS laptop is ancient but I believe it's about time I upgrade to something lighter! I know it's bad but I like to grab my laptop on the right corner of the screen, lol. That's why there is a crack on my ASUS laptop. So bad :\

Anyways, I've been keeping up with this Japanese drama, Love Affairs in the Afternoon, starring Aya Ueto. At first, it was an okay beginning and then I started hating Rikako-san because her obsession and thirst for affairs was ...weird... but it gets better. Now I can't wait for next week's episode =_=

Progress.

Hello again! 

It's been about one week of school. I'm trying to get back to the daily grind however, I just can't shake off my summer routines. I still feel like it's summer and I can just lay around unproductively, haha. It's so bad I know :\ I just haven't been assigned a load of homework and readings yet or I don't have the reading materials at the moment. However, I am pretty thrilled about my classes. I'm currently taking three Anthropology classes: two 500 level & one 400 level. They will require a lot of investment and effort in order to pass them. These are my crucial classes. Then, I'm retaking my Chinese class and taking a Transnational Chinese Cinema. It's really time to step my game up and earn all A's!!!!!!!! 

I can do this :)

In relation to the photo, I planted this sunflower about two months ago and it finally bloomed. Technically, for the past two days but today I didn't look so horrible, so I decided to take a photo with it. This is my first bloomed flower that I've ever planted. All of my previous plants kept dying on me. Haha, I don't have a green thumb like my mom. I'm happy :)

September

Hello! It's been a while since I've blogged. A lot and not a lot of things have been keeping me from blogging. Well, yesterday was Labor Day. Well it's currently 12:34am and today is the first day of classes of my 5th year of college. I just can't sleep. A lot of things on my mind. But I suppose I wanna talk about my summer. It was pretty chill and kinda insignificant. There were great things that happened and I really enjoyed the fact that I could just chill and relax. My life before summer had been stressful and a lot of reflection needed to be done. I don't think I've reflected much this summer but for once I could be happy with myself and not please others.... Except for my boyfriend because I've seen him every day. I am content. 

School is here. How did I end up with my 5th year of college? I can be honest and say I did not take my past four years of college seriously. I feel as if I wasted it. Honestly don't remember what I learned and my attendance was inconsistent. I've received bad grades. But this is hopefully my last year and therefore I will do my best. I am focusing on school. No more distractions and drama to hinder my path. I can do this. I will discipline myself.
