I shall call this entry The Woes of a Cal Freshman because that is precisely what I will be describing in detail here, my troubles being away from home. Actually, I won't go into detail because it's 12:37 am and I should be sleeping now since I have Italian class at 9. Plus, I really don't have that many problems...I mean, Berkeley is friggin awesome! But there are a few things on my mind and they are depriving me of some much-needed sleep. I guess I'll begin with the most obvious concern: BEING AWAY FROM MY BEAUTIFUL FELINE. Oh, how I dream about her at night (hehehe this is for you, Kwon, if you're reading this). No, but there was a robbery a few nights ago. This kid Justin from the 4th floor (I think) got mugged right in front of our building! He was at gunpoint too and the thief stole his phone. Hm...and earlier that night 3 people got their laptops stolen at Cafe Strada. They had it coming, though...why would you have your $1000 or more computer out in the open at night? Perfect targets, eh. Anyway, so my building posted up notes in the hallways, asking us to stay indoors during the evening/night. I didn't think it was a big deal, but I guess it's kinda serious. Aw, no more evening jogs around Berkeley for me :( sketch.
Moving on...okay, honestly, the main reason I can't sleep is because I discovered something quite appalling in the restroom as I was getting ready for bed: A BULIMIC. eek. Well, Sedaf had told a few of us girls last week that she heard someone throwing up in the next stall and it sounded like they were doing it on purpose. Then I coulda swore I heard the same thing a few nights later. [I shall call the bulimic 711 because that's her room number, and I feel weird calling her by her name.] Anywho, 711 and I were talking about how bad we've been eating lately, and then she heads for the stall and I hear the noises...but I STILL wasn't certain because sometimes my hearing is off. So then TONIGHT when I was taking a shower, I hear them again and this time I'm sure someone's throwing up. I'm positive. I hear a flush, the door opens, and voila, 711 appears in front of me. She goes to the sink (I'm watching her every move), rinses her mouth, and cleans her arms. Dude, it freaked me out. It makes me think about how much pressure the media exerts on women, especially young women, nowadays. Hear me out: in a magazine you find all these advertisements for delicious, mouth-watering carbs, and you flip the page to stare at a model who seems to be saying "You should look like me."
So then I think, screw the media, women should know better! You can't have the temporary pleasure of fatty foods all the time and expect to look good. That's the problem with 711. She would rather kneel on a dirty bathroom floor, hugging a toilet than change her diet a little. It makes me really sad. I want to talk to her, but I barely know her. sigh.
Yeah, so I guess my worries are mainly about what's going on with other people.
As for myself, my classes are fine. I was somewhat lost in math, but I decided to take control of the matter, and I joined a study group. Kudos to Erika :)
And as for my place in the male world, let's just say I've got a toe in it and that's about it. Nah, make it a foot. There are some satisfactory prospects...haha. The guy in my math class, for instance, is kinda cute. easy to talk to. (What's his name???) Will is nice. But I'm tired of him. Ooohhh, and there's a Brazilian in my Italian class!...but he's too old for me. There is one other, but I shan't talk about him.
yep. Well that's Berkeley for me! College is definitely an insane experience, and I'm loving every second of it...well almost every second.
Ci vediamo!

| Oh my goodness...a YEAR has passed since my last entry. I decided it's time to update...not for my readers (because I have none), but for myself...so in a year from now I can know what was on my mind on June 27, 2007. First of all, I'm OUT of high school!!! woohoooo! WOW, those 4 years did NOT go by quickly. People really lied to me about that. However, I did enjoy these slow years. I'm actually surprised I made some really cool friends! Going into 9th grade, I had assumed that I'd make acquiantances and never really get close to anyone, but lucky me! I met Tina, Armine, Marine, and Thomasss. :] boy, am I going to miss them. bye bye. So actually, THAT is what I've been thinking about lately - saying goodbye to everyone staying in Southern California. I'm leaving for Europe on Sunday (yeahh baby!), I return on August 1st, then I leave for good on August 18th to BERKELEY! I won't even be here for my birthday :'( It's okay, though, I've got my kwonsocks to cheer me up over there.
On Saturday, Tom and I are "breaking up" (separating, splitting, saying goodbye...whatever you wanna call it). That is the last we'll see of each other for a while. I AM sad because I guess I do like him. The thing is, I grew accustomed to having him around [NOTE: U-NICE, if you're reading this...DON'T tell Tom!] Anyway, I've been thinking about my relationship. He was a good bf. We were compatible for each other. We had some good times. But you know what?...I just never had that stomach flip. Those butterflies. I guess if there's no chemistry, there's nothing you can do about it. NOW I understand what Keri (from Sex and the City) meant when she talked about Aiden. haha. That is such a good show! But whatever, I'm glad he was my first bf. I have no regrets.
So yeah...that was a crappy update. Well, graduation was fun. I looked like a camel during my speech. I was so damn thirsty! lmao.
Ciao!

| NO MORE AP'S!!

| YUCK.
O man...I'm drinking this thing my mom gave me. It's ground flax seeds in water and some sugar (the sugar didn't really improve it). It's supposed to be really healthy...so I'm forcing myself to drink it.
Hm...what's been on my mind lately?...
1. AP exams = scary thoughts. Ok ap calculus, I'm really striving for a 5. I HAVE to get a 5. I'll kill myself...Actually, Mr. Davis will probably beat me to it. AP history, hopefully I get a 4 or 5. Wow, I actually have high expectations for myself this year. Haha...last year was ridiculous. I doubt I'll pass the AP Spanish exam. I cannot speak spanish!!
Moving on...
2. SAT's! I seriously have to start studying for them!! SAT I and SAT II. ahhh, what am I going to do with myself?? ha.
3. I realized that all my close friends, besides kwon, have boyfriends. What is going on in the world! Tina and Erick, Marine and Arby, Jenee and Anthony (well, not yet), Armine and Sahak (not yet). It's kinda weird when they're all taking turns talking about their guys and then it's my turn to say something and i'm like "umm yeahhhh." It's actually quite amusing.
Yeah, well, I think that's enough.
