| i dont know why i feel like reading xanga entries these days. i wish people would start posting like they have no lives again. haha. anyway, summer has been reaaaal good since i dont have to work, but at the same time, i feel like it will get very boring soon because theres only so much you can do in houston. i have all june to do nothing, so ideaaally, i will travel here and there to visit people/sightsee. but things hardly ever turn out the way i want them to so we will see. :o) then, im going back to china at the end of june with my family and karen. when i come back from china, it will be time to go back to pittsburgh (around august 19th-ish) for my job training. THEN, junior year starts. writing that sentencing just makes me think how fast sophomore year went. at the end of freshmen year, all the upperclassmen told me that it's just gonna faster and faster. i guess i believe them noww. freshmen year went by quickly because i was busy adjusting to a new life and trying to make friends. haha. but sophomore year went by even faster because of all the things i was involved in, classes, trying to wake up for classes, trying to make good grades, get at least 4 hours of sleep a day, blah blah blah... it sounds like i did nothing this whole year but work, which is true for the most part. haha. even though its hard to believe, i think there was more fun than work. at the end of freshmen year, hannah asked if i wanted to lead freshmen small group with her next year. i didn't really think about it that much, i just said "yeah". it wasn't until the day before the first small group did i start to feel responsible for it. but in the end, it wasn't bad responsibility, it was the i-can't-wait-for-next-week's-small-group kind of responsiblity. i loved every second of every week. i have a bad memory, but i still remember at the first small group, everyone was soooo awkwarddd! hahaha. and now all of you guys are so close that you can diss each other like crazy and still act like you're not hurt by it. lol just kidding. thankfully, i got sammie as my roommate this year, so that means i never went hungry or bored. everytime we come back from a break, she would bring back a luggageful of junk food. hahah. yeah, no wonder we gained so much weight, but food is better than no food, right? when we were packing at the end of the year, i was stuffing shoes into my bag, but then the zipper got stuck (cause im so stupid). so i was squatting there for FIVE minutes trying to get it out, and i was too embarrassed to ask sammie to help me for such a stupid favor. but finally i couldn't stand it cause by now im sweating and everything. then sammie came and got it out with one try. she said "liang! what would you do without me?" haha. she just took the words right out of my mouth. i feel so spoiled when im with her, and i ALMOST feel bad for all the times i didn't let her nap, all the times i made her drag me upstairs with me holding onto her (HAHA), all the times she "voluntarily" made food for me, and just about everything else i can't do. hahhaa. hopefully, i'll have two more years of "feeling bad". and princess irene, who i made do everything with me, classes, food, kupc, rotaract, SIFE, sleeping, haha, etc. it got to the point that i wouldnt eat lunch if she didn't eat with me. thanks to her, i actually worked out for a while to counter all the junk food sammie provided. i dont remember specific things, but everything just feels much more fun when the "princess" is present. hahha all those late nights in the cfa cluster working on sife's presentation. it paid off some, but im sure we will do better next year =) and i gotta say that sife became a new family for me. the people are so chill. the car ride back to campus from philly with victor, sarah, eugene, and kohta was the BEST, even though those jokes were so dirty and nerdy at the same time. haha. seeing eugene do the only dance move he knows, angela chugging wine after we got jipped, menage au trois with nessa (hahaha, when do we use thhhaaattt???), having the bed all to myself because anna stayed up three nights in a row trying to find "music" for the presentation, and so much more. philly and dallas were so unforgettable. i usually dont cry in public, but thanks to kupc senior banquet, almost everyone saw me. the food was good. the performances were really well rehearsed (uhmm seungjin and minny), and hearing from every senior was so touching. i really dont want to see any of them go, but paul cheong gave me a few wise advices. haha. so i know this is not goodbye forever, especially because everyone of you are gonna come back and visitttttt ;). and once again, congratulations to all the seniors on graduating. i love you and will miss you a lot a lot a lot. and saving the best for last, tepper. i dont even want to say a lot about this because you dont know how much fun it is unless you're there. all i can say is that i miss it sooo so much. and i miss everything else, like the time sammie irene and i played in the first real snow pittsburgh had, hanging out with the best mentor everrrr (dont worry, i will see you in hongkong so you can take me to eat haha), caking everyone in the face on their birthday, ASA winning booth again, riding the sizzler or something with irene, eating dinners with jenny hwang and grace, which we have to do more of next semester, and, like joe's song, more and more. |
