WOW...it has been so long since I have even looked at this...mainly because...um..
MYSPACE AND FACEBOOK
Well...I think it is about time that I do this and get my
feelings and emotions out of me...because I feel the need to. If anyone actually reads this...I will be
impressed.
Most people would start with college, so...I guess I will.
What can I say about college? Being a commuter, not all that much. Personally...to me, it feels like high school
but with a much better schedule and harder work and much more of it. Already
this year...I got a D on my first paper in college. Reason being..procrastination has hit me
already this semester…but I am hoping to make an attempt in changing that. But seriously though, I love the schedule 10x
better than high school, no more 7 to 3 crap...and lunch is anywhere my wallet
allows. Friends...I have met some cool
people at Ship and have gotten to know people through here and my classes. My time is mainly spent with two
people....Andy the best friend and Felicia the girlfriend. Do i feel deprived because of this? Actually...no. I don't party, I don't drink, I don't
smoke...and I have really gotten the vibe that you officially aren't cool/
looked down upon if you don't participate in such activities. Do I feel deprived at this point? No...i am still completely content with my
life. Now I realize as my college career
goes on...parties will come and go and my goal is to be the sober
one...watching and being amused by the drunk.
Is that such a bad goal? Judge me
upon the fact that I'm not the typical/majority college student....because it's
cool. One thing I have noticed...is that
I really regret not cherishing my high school days more. Yes, there was drama, yes there was a lot of
rules, and yes it was a crappy schedule, but honestly...I loved high school
becuase of the familiarity of everyone and everything. College is way different and unless you are
uber friendly and outgoing....it is a high hill to climb…atleast it has been
for me. Um…dealing with majors...at this
current moment...I am undeclared. But I
am almost positive that I know what I want to be when I grow up...so
cliche. I am leaning towards public relations...which
involves public interaction and also can incorporate a technical aspect as
well...you know...the computer geek in me.
So yeah...that is def. the path I am leaning towards. Involvement with extracirricular activies on
campus have been...well...non existent.
I really wanted to do intermural Ultimate Frisbee...but things just
didn't seem to work out. I am also
looking into getting into the SU TV program, but I don't know if that will
happen this first semester because I have so much work and managiing working at
Cressler's seemse to be taking its toll on me.
Work - I have been at Cressler's for almost two years and I
am almost getting to the point where I want something new. I mean I love the interaction with the
customers...and stuff like that..but IDK...I am tired of the job. I have been getting a lot of hours lately,
upwards of 26...which with college and a life...that is a lot. I need the money...because well...I was
stupid. I was stupid in the fact that I
went out and bought a $2,500 laptop...because I thought I would be good
financially. I really shouldn't have
because I am finding myself unsatisfied with my laptop and its performance,
plus it seems like everyone has the same laptop as mine...but probably way
cheaper. I really need to keep my grades
up so that I can keep my tuition scholarship.
It is a must...because if I would have to take on paying tuition...I
really don't know what I would do. So yeah.
Um...what else. My car is
officially fixed after hitting the humojumbo deer on Folgelsanger road a couple
of weeks ago...I had to fix the fender and front bumper cover...and also ended
up puttting new headlights, taillights, and exhaust system on it. Overall satisfied...especially for a poor
asian kid attempting to be cool…living in Shippensburg.
Things with Felicia have been great. Um…it has been 5 months and a couple of
days. It’s weird to try to explain my
emotions and feelings…because it’s so weird.
She knows me like no one else and I know her to the extent that I could
be her for a day. No lie. Things just seem to be fitted just
right. Yes we have had our downs…but
what relationship doesn’t have their ups and downs. We have been going to swing dancing lessons
on Wednesday nights for the past two weeks to give it a whirl and to add some
variety into the relationship. Also…Thursday
nights is always our night to watch Grey’s Anatomy together. Speaking of…is
honestly my favorite show…despite others saying House is just as good…psh…like
they know anything. So yeah…I am really
tired…and so consider this Part 1 of the current review of my life.

Wow...I guess I didn't realize how long it has been since I have actually updated. Isn't it weird, how I used to update everyday...and now I have backed that down to about once every 3 weeks? lol.
So what is there to update on? not a whole lot, but several things have gone on..but where to start?
SHIPPENSBURG FAIR
This week, was the Shippensburg Fair. I used to be really into it...but not this year. To start off the week was the Fair Queen Pageant...and Kate was in it...therefore we had to cheer for her, since she is my cousin. She did great. She got into the Top 5, but then ended up being the 4th Runner Up (5th place)..which personally was a bad placing...she should have atleast gotten 3rd place. Andy, me, Renae, and Eric got our picture in the paper for holding up signs for her...so it was all good and of course we had air horns..duh.
COLD AIR INTAKE & SPEEDING TICKET?
I got my Cold Air Intake installed with Andy and Brandon's help...and I must say I like it...but because of that...I ended up getting my first speeding ticket. Andy and I went up to Chambersburg to look for bikes...and on the way back we went the back way on Ragged Edge Road...and of course I wasn't thinking there would be any cops. Well I was wrong. I was going 53 mph in a 35 mph zone..which landed me a $152.50 fine and 4 points on my liscense...so yeah, it sucked...but life happens and I deal with it.
NEW LAPTOP
I got my laptop! It is a Dell Inspiron e1705 and so far I love it. For all of the fellow computer geeks out there...here are the specs...17" Widescreen, Intel Centrino Duo 2.1 ghz processer, 2 GB of Ram, 100 GB Hard Drive, nVidia 7600 Go Video Card, Windows Media Center Edition, Remote Control, TV Tuner..and so on and so forth. The sad thing about this, is it cost me almost double of what I payed for my car (Neon)..but the reason I bought it is explained the next paragraph.
COLLEGE COSTS
I calculated the cost of my college career at Shippensburg University if all goes as planned. Theoretically...I should have to pay for 1) tuition ($2,500 a semester..about $5,000+ a year) 2) fees (about $800 a semester or about $1600 a year) 3) books (estimate about $1,000 a year)..but since my scholarship takes care of my tuition and then my grants from the state take care of the fees, all I am left to pay for college is about $1,000 for books..and thats it. So if all goes well...for 4 years of college...I will pay about $4,000...and that is why I bought a laptop.
3 MONTHS W/ FELICIA
Felicia and I are about to hit 3 months on August 6th...we have had our ups and downs, but overall it has been a great relationship...and I don't want to be with anyone else except her.
NEW PHONE?
Hmmm...my
contract is up with Verizon...sooo all I am waiting on is for the new
RazrVi3 to come out from Cingular...the one with iTunes. It was
supposed to come out early July and seeing it is almost August...I
think they are really behind...sooo I am still waiting...patiently.

ehhh...I am soooo tired...and I have no idea why I am updating. I mean, half of the people that actually read this are at the beach...Renae and Lacey...lol...but what the heck, you'all need an update on my life.
Well...since my last update, what has occured?
- I bought Felicia's old car (2000 Dodge Neon) and I love it. But now I am trying to sell my old one, which seems harder than what it should be...so I am currently in debt.
- I am getting more hours at Cressler's than expected (27 last week and 29 this week)
- My thank you notes are done for graduation...woooo.
- I bought FIFA Soccer 2005 for PS2, because I got addicted to soccer because of the World Cup.
- The Fair is only like 21 days away...and I can't wait for the Fair Queen Contest...because SENIORS!!!
- Andy and I went to see the Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift...eh...not bad, but not what I expected out of a Fast and the Furious movie. There was more storyline then race scenes...but all in all, it wasn't bad.
- I have to work from 5:30 to 9:30 on the 4th of July!!! yeah...wtf?
- I bought 6 new shirts from American Eagle, which is starting to look like I am becoming addicted again to that store.
- Felicia and I are going to the drive-ins tomorrow night for Click, The Breakup, and Nacho Libre.
- There are two AWESOME christian concert events coming up in SHIPPENSBURG...so listen up...
August 1st at Shippensburg Speedway... Spoken, Kids In the Way, Once Nothing, and like 10 other local bands including Debello.
annndd...
September 22nd and 23rd at Shippensburg Fairgrounds... Pillar, Jeremy Camp, Stellar Kart, John Reuben, and some others.

*Really good song by RHCP...make sure to check it out*
Time for an update? Yeah.
I've realized that things haven't changed from school til' now...I still have no real motivation to update this, because I have better things to do with my time than update a few select people on my life. But I will...because I'm nice like that.
Let's see this week...
I went to SU Orientation on Tuesday. In one word...I can explain it...pointless. I arrive at 7:30...get my picture taken and get some stuff and sit around for an hour. We have an opening which is pointless and is informationless (not a real word). They split us up into our majors and they tell us nothing there that will help us for the future...overall pretty dumb. The only reason that made it worthwhile was to meet and talk to people, but I probably won't see or talk or remember those people...psh.
I went to Hershey Park with Felicia  . We were supposed to leave around 8:30...but I forgot my ticket so I had to run back to my house and get it.... . We arrived...and the first ride we got on was the Skyview (ski lifts)...yeah that freaked me out. For everyone who doesn't know...I hate roller coasters. Anyways...we got on the SuperDooperLooper, The Great Bear, The Roller Soaker, The Kissing Tower, The Claw, Lightning Racer, The Ferris Wheel...and maybe some others...but overall really good/fun day.
What bothers me...at work...
- Customers who just leave their carts in the middle of the parking lot, because they are too lazy to put them in the corral.
- Customers who FULLY rely on coupons..."oh, I don't want this anymore my coupon won't work"
- Customers who try to tell me how to do my job.
- Customers who complain about a discrepency over 18 cents
- Customers who can't read signs and come up and think that it's our fault that they thought "the apples were only $1.00"
- Customers who put random stuff up on the belt...like...deli cheese, then raw chicken, and then bathsoap.
- Customers who leave crap in their carts....like cheese their kids had.
Random junk that no one should really care about...except me.
- Felicia leaves Monday for cheer camp
 and won't be home until Thursday.... . - I am switching over to Cingular next month and I want to get the new Razr V3i, which will have iTunes on it and can play 100 songs...but that doesn't come out until late July...oh well...I'm waiting.
- I bought myself new khakis and 2 new shirts from American Eagle...I like em'
- Cressler's is giving me like 24.5 - 25 hours per week...which is really nice for the money ,but I don't have much free time, because of not motivation.
- I have yet to see Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift or Click and I want to see both.
- Rumor Has It...is actually a pretty good movie...but...yes, it is a chick flick.
- My last paycheck was $127.something, my largest paycheck.
- I need to get Thank You cards done from Graduation...boo
- The World Cup is all the craze now...and honestly I could sit down all day and watch that...no lie.
