| everytime i write a xanga entry I always start with the line "i haven't updated in a while..." so this time I'll start off a little differently just to mix it up.
I've been in Berkeley now for 2 weeks and school is okay so far since i havent gotten any grades yet. Bio labs beat chem labs any day!!! I wish I only have to do bio labs. But im taking a pretty light load this semester because I'm in no rush so might as well try to get good grades while I'm here. My days have been classes, library, and home to eat mostly now. I think I'm really determined this semester to do well because I haven't been doing well previous semesters. Berkeley has been kicking my butt. Yea...right now there isn't much to look forward to in life. So my roomate told me about this guy who applied to medical school and didn't make it in until the third attempt and he became a famous surgeon. That really gave me hope because I feel like I am in that position right now. I really hope I can make it all the way through though.
On a happier note....labor day weekend was pretty fun. I got to go to SF and eat at this place called asia SF where they have male transexuals serve you and give you a show. Its pretty shocking, but very enjoyable. I miss just having fun. I miss summer. Yea...summer was really fun. Even summer school was fun. The class i took was pretty relaxed and I had good company. I got to hang out with my roomates, too. I wish i could stay in summer mode forever.
And i just started taekwondo again for the fall semester. We are having tryouts for the team at the end of the month. I'm really nervous about that ...i hope i make it!!! the team is going to MIT this time for collegiates...should be very exciting!! | | |
| I guess this is one of those days that i feel like
talking. Jus been pretty upbeat and talkative all day. those days
usually never come for me. So what have i been doing for the past 3
months?!! welll...during the school year, i didnt feel like sharing
much at all because there was nothing to share except stuff about
school, but my grades are just too sad to share. ::sigh:: well
that is totally over and done with so i dont really care too much
anymore.
So i fiinished school and went to tour Europe
for two weeks. It was pretty fun...basically we sat in the bus,
occassionally got out to eat and take pictures because 10 days is too
little time to really see all of Europe. My first conclusion is that
europe is HELLA expensive (i do spend most of my time in norcal
now). I dunno if i can really afford going back there. And you know the
tour guide took us to Amsterdam...and that was pretty interesting.
man...this is the only vacation in which a tour guide specifically took
us to see the red light district. that was my first time seeing real
live hookers. kinda scary. yea and everyone looked like a druggie too.
Im NEVER going back there again. The funny thing is that he told us
that this was a serious and sad part of town...and yet he tells us its
also a tourist attraction. WTH...i dont get the logic...must be a
european thing.
Oh...and the other excitinig thing that happened was
that I almost got robbed by this gang of 5 guys late at night in the
bad part of PAris. So...5 women innocently walking back to their hotel
11 at night with burberry bags in their hands and these five scary
looking guys started following us. The funniest part is how we reacted
in a situation like this. One person started running, 3 of us started
walking very fast, leaving one of us completely alone in the back, and
i started screaming, thinking that they were joking about people
following us. It comes to show that everyone looks out for themselves.
haha. jk. Luckily, we were able to find someone to walk us back to our
hotel and the 5 scary guys disappeared into the shadows.
This leaves me at the end of my euro trip and back
home. When i come home, there is nobody there!!! everyone is still in
school. why does berk always have to be different from everyone else?!
annoying! well i spent two weeks fiddling my thumbs and occasionally
hanging out with my brother and cousin.
Then I was off to school again...summer school. I'm
in my second week now and its going by pretty fast. I didnt get
internet until today and im going crazy sitting in my apartment with no
internet. at least i have a tv. It's been pretty boring around here.
One day i actually took out the vaccuum and started cleaning the
apartment. the sad part is that i enjoyed it because it was at least
something to do. Hmmm...maybe later on I'll even get to the point were
I'll enjoy scrubbing the toilets, too. It makes me feel useful.
My roomates are pretty cool. Thank goodness they are
neat people. They have very decorative walls in their rooms, too.
Haha...i have one poster. and guess who? jerry of course ^^ i have more
posters of him, but im embarrassed to hang them on my wall because my
roomates might think im psycho. what to do?!!! Well i guess one is
enough.
I actually got to cook for the first time today too.
I guess you can call it decent for my first time doing everything all
by myself. It was edible...that's all that counts! it doesn't matter
that I broke a dish and completely made a mess out of the kitchen. I'm
looking forward to cooking again. Everyone is welcome to come eat ^^
I also have a problem looking for a job. Either im
just too picky or i feel like finding a job is too impossible. I have
no skills whatsoever. maybe ill just have to settle for a job in the
food industry since i cant find any jobs that will be useful to me in
the future. I'm thinking of volunteering, too. its free labor...they'll
have to accept me!!! hhahaha.
oOo...and today was the first day i went bak to tkd
since i finished the spring semester. SOOOO HARD. i feel like the
master did it just for me because everyone's been telling me that this
was the hardest workout they've had so far. I have a confession to make
though. I've been here for like two weeks and i didnt start going until
now. its just so far, late, and im lazy. but i was actually really glad
to see everyone again. soo many familiar faces. that made me happy and
talkative i guess.
So this fourth of july weekend im all alone in this
apartment. all my roomates are going to be either going on vacation or
going to a relative's place. But i guess silence is sometimes good. I
have a midterm coming up anyways so i have something to do. Imagine
spending your fourth of july weekend in the library studying. That's
what i will be doing! My parents were actually thinking about buying
airplane tickets to fly home, but no deals online...or i dont know how
to look...so im gonna stay here.
So...as you can see...that is what has been going on
in my life if anyone made it this far. Wow i think this might be the
longest xanga entry i ever written. haha. i tend not to read really
long xangas. haha...so i dont expect anyone else to.
Well i hope everyone out there has a great independence day!!

| sorrie ive gone missing for a while in the online world...haha. been
very busy with school and tkd. yea jus two lil things...but dunno...its
enough to fill every day. just really bored right now...im trying to
write my essay thats due in like three hours! but no
fear...almost...done...only half way to go! 2 pagess!! haha and im
wasting my time writing a xanga entry...im soooo tired...jus wanna
sleep. ate a whole chocolate truffle egg...yum...but feeling gross and
on a sugar low right now.
Yea well...came down to arcadia for the weekend last friday for
grandma's bday. yea had lots of fun, but i wish i coulda stayed down
there longer. its become my relaxation home. didnt do ANY hw...thats
probably why im up right now. haha
oh and also had my tkd banquet after the big collegiate tournament
(which we won first!! and beat stanford! jk). it was lots of fun. we
all made speeches over korean bbq. haha.
well i miss all my homies (lol) bak home!!! hope to see u guys soon! my
attempt to visit your schools was a failure...ill try harder next year
and if anyone is in the SF/berk area, be sure to visit me!!

| bak home for a week! had a fun time yesterday with family over crab and mussels...good stuff. =9. looking forward to a relaxing spring break ^ ^ without too much studying that is. | | |
| siiiiigggghhhh.....just got back from my first UC tkd tournament.
Wow...what a day. Spent nearly 15 hours in HAas Pavilion. i didnt even
get to see what the day was like outside. All of us in there wondered
together. Yes it was a long day of walking around, pulling triggers,
and getting beat up. Poomse was decent, but i mean sparring...those
grls are monsters!!! I didnt even get to finish my sparring match cuz i
got heeled in the face...not as bad as what other people experienced
though. sheesh they show like no mercy and not to mention some play
very dirty. Fortunately i did not have to experience too much of that.
Unfortunately for the rest of my team, lots of ppl got sent to the
medical staff...why are ppl so shady?!! well it was a good
experience overall and looking forward to collegiates.
Yes and afterwards went to Kip's and pigged out like crazy on pizza cuz
u kno ive been starving myself for especially the past two days to make
sure i was on weight. i think i ate more in 2 hrs than in those past
two days...still full up until now!! YEa and i had probably 5 cups of
soda (not alchohol =D) with that too!! thats why im awake enough to
write this. YUMMY...havent had cheese or soda in sooooooo long.
probably gained all the weight i lost for the tournament too. haha.
what a waste! well those few hours of pleasure was worth it. haha. okay
then ...its getting late...and i hav to go bak to reality tomorrow...to
the LIBRARY!!! yay.
Yes only 1 more week to spring break, but i hav to get through soooo
many obstacles ( a midterm and an essay)!! i hope i can make it through
the end of the tunnel and see the light. hahah that was kinda corny.
well basically im saying that i reeeeeely want a vacation where i can
go home and do absolutely nothing!!
hmmm...still have to worry bout summer...dunno what to do, but i'll
probably end up taking summer school rite here at cal...but i wish
there was something else i could do...a research position would be
nice...cross fingers!!
