This song was on repeat all throughout finals week last quarter in our suite. Memories.

When you need to give yourself some space, don’t leave the room completely, just take a step back.
04.21.2012

My mood has been very up and down today. You know what that means… I’m probably going to get my period soon, maybe even tomorrow. LOL. TMI, I know, but I dun careee. My blog, I write what I want d:

Quick summary about my day though:

  • Stayed up until around 5am to watch this new Korean drama that I’ve been following (Rooftop Prince). It’s super cute! But that’s how it is with most Korean dramas. They raise my standards for guys so much…
  • Woke up at noon and went to Pippin with Yvonne and Cristina
  • Checked out WAYZGOOSE after. It was pretty cool, I saw a lot of familiar faces.
  • Went back to the dorm to study for my art history midterm, which happens to be this upcoming Monday (I still don’t know squat shit about Indian art, even after 3 weeks…)
  • Walked over to UTC around 7pm for dinner with Yvonne, Cristina, Nathan, and Christian
  • Made coffee and now I’m studying again, probably for the rest of the night too ):

In general, life is pretty good at the moment! Cheesy, but… I love my family and they love me. My friends are there for me as I am for them. School is not too hard yet, so I can still handle it. In other words, I’m pretty satisfied with life right now (:

Week 1

From 17 units, to 14 units, to 13 units, back to 17 units, and now to 16 units. Most complicated quarter yet, in terms of class scheduling. As of right now, and hopefully for the rest of the quarter, I’m going to be taking: Math 2A; Soc Sci 3A; Art History 42A; Soc Ecology 198; Bio Sci 194S. Crossed fingers for good grades!

Overall, this week was pretty good, until today T_T Initially, I was going to rant all about it in this post. But I’m not even gonna bother anymore because it’ll just make me more upset. So glad I get to see my family tomorrow for my sister’s birthday lunch. On days like these, I just want summer to come already, so I can go home and stop worrying about all the poop going on here. Hopefully next week will be better /:

Spring Break 2012

So far, break has been pretty uneventful, and it’s already almost over too xD My sister isn’t on spring break yet, so I haven’t been able to hang out with her. Not only that, but she has hw to do after school as well, so not even then either. As for my parents, because of the whole house renovating thing, they’ve been too busy to go out. For the most part, I’ve been doing things by myself… Forever alone? I think so /: Haha. But I’m not complaining though! I’ve been able to have a lot of “me time” thinking about life and the future and… I lie. I’ve been using all the free time at home to watch Korean dramas. LOL. I swear, once I get into something, I always get in too deep. When I’m at Irvine, I never watch anything because I don’t want it to get in the way of academics. But now that I’m at home with nothing to worry about, I just watch to my heart’s content :D So I think it’s safe to say that Korean dramas and shopping basically sums up my spring break. OH, I’ve also been super anxious waiting for my grades. For some reason, this quarter, all of my professors are super laggin’ it. Well, except for one. I got an “A” in psychology, but that was a given (not being cocky or anything though, it was just a super easy class). I literally check my email whenever I log on to my computer, even before checking facebook! Haha. But yeah, official grades come out tomorrow night. I’m pretty nervous because I honestly don’t know where I fall for any of my other classes. I guess only time will tell? Hm…

Me, trying to get on my hall mates’ beds. LOL. Why must their beds be so high and me so small? /:

roroskis:

me at home :D 

Me, all day today xD

I survived!

After three all-nighters in a row, a seven-page paper, and three finals… I am officially done with my second quarter in college! WHEEE :D I’m sitting on my parents’ bed as I type out this post. Why? Because there is literally nothing in my room right now, nothing! I would take a picture, but nah, too lazy. Haha. My sister’s room is done being remodeled, whereas mine is barely starting. They took out the carpet so the floor is nothing but cement(?). The whole room is being remade, so everything is going to be new. And if you know me enough, you would know that I love new things! Doesn’t have to be the most recent edition of something or whatever, it just has to be new and I’ll be happy (: One downside though is that I won’t even be home enough to take advantage of the room. Pooie. At least I will have a nice place to stay on the weekends that I do come home? Lowkey, I am pretty excited to start a new quarter at UCI. It’s pretty bittersweet though, because it’s going to be my last quarter living in the halls, living with Rivendell /: After fall quarter, I had an idea of who I enjoyed being with, but after this quarter, I’ve come to realize who I would actually feel incomplete without. Does that make sense? Gah, just thinking about it makes me sad. These people have literally grown on me <3 On the bright side, I’ve decided to take it easy next quarter and only go with 13 units. That means being able to spend more time with my fellow Rivendellians and coming out more often to my awesome CA family :D Next quarter should be a good one, regardless of the sad ending that awaits…

Regarding my “Winter Quarter Shout Outs”.

Only after posting it did I realize how cheesy it is. LOL. But everything I wrote, honestly came from the heart. Winter quarter was so blue for me, but because of you guys, I pulled through. And I thank each and every one of you for that <3 I couldn’t write something for all of my hall mates because there are just too many of them, but I must say that they contribute the most to the happiness of my college experience (: I love you, Rivendell! Same goes for my friends from CA. They’re a great bunch, but like my hall, there are just too many of them xD I feel like I’m speaking too soon about pulling through winter quarter though because there’s still finals to come, but whatever, I’m feeling grateful tonight d:

Winter Quarter Shout Outs

[in alphabetical order]

Andrea Reyes

Hi Andrea! I just wanted to start off by saying that you are truly an amazing person (: Thank you for letting me take part in your super cool advisory board. Facilities, all day, err’day. You were the first person at SPOP to make me feel welcomed and I will never forget that. You’re so friendly, I hope we will always stay friends. Don’t be hesitant to give me hugs, because I love them! Haha :D

Andrew Lu

Hi favorite family member! You’re such a child at heart, it’s cute (: You were my first friend in CA and because of you, I felt more comfortable to come out again after the first time. Snowboarding together during ski trip was super fun. Thank you for staying with me and making sure that I was okay. Remember when I somehow ended up going right through you and making you fall? LOL. That was so painful, yet hilarious. It’s those types of memories that I will never forget. Stay awesome, Andrew :D

Angela Tran

Hi Angela! You are seriously super cool :D I’m so proud of you for making it as an CA intern. And after watching you perform with CAMA yesterday at HSO, I was speechless. Ah, you’re too cool. Haha. Thank you for being so caring towards me (: Like the time we first met at Chris’ place, ski trip, the time I had a crisis thinking I had appendicitis. Lmao. The whole living in a house together idea sounded so perfect. Too bad I couldn’t /: Maybe for our 3rd year, we’ll make it happen!

Anna Liu

Hi big! Sorry for disappointing you so much this quarter. I’ve been so MIA from CA, but I promise that if my grades and GPA improve, I will come out again Spring Quarter. I miss hanging out with you and everyone else from CA /: But thank you for always being there because I’m such a “needy little”. Like the time when my wrist was hurt and you had to go get a brace for me, or the time you and Chak randomly stopped by to keep me company because I was being so emo. It meant a lot <3 You are definitely my definition of “best big ever” (:

Austin Kim

Hi handshaking buddy! Haha. Funny how sitting next to each other during SPOP can become what we are now (: Winter quarter was pretty gloomy for me, but you undoubtedly took a part in making it better. When I think about all the times that we hung out, all I remember doing is smiling and laughing… At you d: Thank you for always staying up until the morning to study with me the weekends before our art history midterms. It was obvious that you had your poop down and that I was the one holding you back. I’m going to miss seeing you every other day next quarter, but I’m sure I’ll still be seeing you every now and then. To other people, you may be that cool YouTube star, Bboy Joonie. But to me, you’re a silly princess that knows how to make my day… With your hip dance xD

Chris Ng

Hi old fart d: Like I said to Anna, I’m really sorry for not coming out to CA this quarter. You didn’t say it, but I know you were pretty disappointed that I didn’t apply to be an intern. I just hope you know though, that if it weren’t my grades, I would have applied in a heartbeat! Thank you for all the advice that you given me these past few months. I honestly could not have asked for a better grandbig. You have taught me so much, both good and bad. People from CA always compare me to you, saying that I’m like a little Chris. But I disagree because I’m obviously way cooler! Jk ;D Oh, and I’m sincerely sorry for making you upset the other day with the FB post. But still, if you ever say that I’m dead to you again, I will seriously hate you forever T_T

Christian Cachow

Hi chacho! HAHAHA d: Quick question, why are you always picking on me? What did I ever do wrong to you? Pick on someone your own size! (I still remember when I said that to you the other day and you said not to pull that one on you, LOL) Thank you for always having my back though. Like that one time everything was just too much and I just had to let it all out. You’re a great friend, and I hope you stay that way (: Let’s continue to create great memories next year, since we’ll be living so close! Please don’t hit on our two random roommates though xD

Cristina Mejia

Hi Cristina! You are by far, one of the most kind person I have ever met (: As a matter of fact, I think I’ve never heard you say no to anyone’s request. Haha. Thank you for always letting me use your bed, which is totally weird considering mine is right next door xD Even though we won’t be living with each other next year, I still hope that we’ll hang out every now and then. I can’t even imagine what it’s going to be like next year, without our awkward bathroom moments. I’m still very sorry for the times I forgot to knock. You just don’t think too much when you first wake up, you know? LOL. Again, thank you for everything!

Farhat Karim

Hi my little far cold! Or should I say, fart cold. LOL (: I feel like Winter Quarter was when our friendship truly developed and I’m super glad that things worked out that way. Thank you for always being down to accompany me places. You’re so chill, all the time. I’m still pretty disappointed that our leases didn’t work out the way we wanted them to, but I want you to know that we’ll still be keeping in touch a lot next year. We may not be living in the same apartment, but we’ll still both be at VDC. No excuses not to hang, right? ;D

Nathan Walsh

Hi Nathan, the cool guy who wooed all the ladies with his piano skills during M.E. Pair d: We can’t be seen together too often because I don’t want your fan girls trying to kill me in my sleep. Haha. Thank you for always being down to hang out with me and being nice to me. I still remember that first day when we moved in and you came knocking to see if we wanted to go eat. People say first impressions shouldn’t matter, but you have nothing to worry about, because you made a great one :D Considering we’ll both be living in VDC next year, you better come over to hang out!

Raymond He

Hi Raymond! You are so distracting in class. LOL. But then again, I wouldn’t have had poli sci any other way (: Even though we met during SPOP, we never really hung out Fall Quarter. It wasn’t until Winter Quarter that we actually talked. But hey, better late than never, right? I’m planning on switching over to Business Econ, so once I catch up, if I ever, we can maybe take our upper-div classes together again! Wheee :D

Stephanie Tran

Nunuuu (: Have I ever told you that I think your personality is very cute? You never fail to make me laugh because of your laugh. LOL. You also always brighten up my day because you’re just oh, so high-spirited. Thank you for always coming up to my room to do work when I ask and keeping me company when I nap, even if that means you’ll be laying on the floor. I hope our friendship will grow even stronger as the days go by, because you’re definitely someone I want to be friends with until we grow old. Stay awesome, in your PJ’s, yeah? <3

Taylor Mar

Hi mama! You are by far, the best RA ever. I’m so glad we got to take a class together this quarter, because I feel that I got to know you a lot better from it. I remember last quarter, on the first day of school, I was so lost that I had to call you to ask for directions. This quarter, however, I got to take you to class on our first day! Hehe. I’m growing up, mama! Thank you for all the times you would have my back when others in the hall would pick on me, those poops. I’m most definitely going to apply to be a housing attendant for next year because I aspire to become as active in extracurricular activities as you are :D

Thomas Sin

Hi toe-mass! You’re so mean to me without ever feeling bad after, it’s ridiculous xD I have feelings too, you know?! I never got the chance to tell you, but I really appreciate all the times you would stay up late with me last quarter to do work. I lowkey miss it. And the movie nights, you’re never around anymore! Why?! I keep picking trouble with you this quarter because we haven’t been hanging out as much, compared to what I’m used to, from last quarter /: But! I understand that you have your things to do too, so I won’t “start shit” anymore. LOL. Every time you fail me, I tell you that you’re a not real friend, when in reality, I think you’re a great one (: I hope we’ll stay friends even after we move out!

Yvonne Nguyen

Hi future roomie! Four words, you are the best <3 I can’t wait until next year when it’s going to be just you and me against our two random roommates. Jk, jk. Haha. Thank you for always being there for me, and listening to me rant/ complain about my day. You’re a really kind person and I really appreciate you. You’re also very smart. It’s funny because even though we live right next door to each other now, I still choose to do work in your room and sometimes even sleep in there. I felt so bad the other day when I saw you sleeping on the floor. I purposely only took up the bottom half of the bed so you can sleep on the other side xD But yeah, let’s make Spring Quarter a quarter to remember and then next year even better!

02.24.2012

Sleep schedule has been getting worse and worse, especially these past few days. I haven’t been sleeping because of my psych midterm on Thursday and then this paper I had to work on to show my TA today for art history. Speaking of art history, I got another B, for the midterm. At this point, I’m almost certain that I’m going to get something in the B range for that class, as long as I don’t screw up too bad for the paper and final. Good or bad, I guess that depends on how I do in my other classes. But yeah, sleeping schedule… -smh- I’ve been sleeping downstairs too because I concentrate better when I’m down there alone, while everybody else in the hall is asleep. And then what ends up happening is I’ll work all throughout the night and then sneak in an hour or two in the whee hours of the morning. Lol. Like a boss? I’d like to think so d: I’m definitely gonna catch up on my zZz’s this weekend though, because shiet, a person can only take so much. Other than that… I’d say that I’m pretty content with life right now. Ooo, so like, people always say that when you go off to college and come back home, your family treats you indifferent. Yeah, no. I love that my family still treats me as if I was there with them everyday still. I’m super glad that when I come home, my sister rambles on and on to me about everything that goes on at school because it comes to show that I’m still her go-to person <3 I love my family. They’re the most important to me, before everyone and everything else. BYE TUMBLR!
