Give me more time to waste

The fall holiday we had today made my week. 

I had pizza and chocolate milkshakes with my friends, Maddie and Tati, while jamming to Maddie's "bodyroll booty poppin underwater.." spotify playlist. 

The rest of the day was a blur after my three hour nap and almost an entire season of GREEK (shoutout to jill for getting me addicted to this show). 

I finished all my homework for tomorrow yesterday, so I'm currently getting ready for the dance. 

PUMPED. 

Life is pretty great at this moment.

Post-lightsout thoughts

I wasn't in my best mood yesterday, because I felt scared. I'm sure most people are familiar with this feeling; the feeling of feeling like you don't belong, and the worst is that you are trying, you want to be a part of something. 

Let me paint you a mental picture  (it might not completely make sense, i just hope this explains it a little bit better): When you're walking with three of your friends on a narrow paved pathway, they are all walking in a perfect horizontal line and you're in behind trying to fit in to join their line, but the pathway is just too narrow and so you're awkwardly stumbling. Then when you finally give up and stroll at the back, until that one friend notice you and walks together with you instead. 

Well this scenario is the perfect way to describe my emotions ever since I got back to school. There are so many new students. It is so overwhelming. I didn't think that I would have to go through this since I was just a returning 2nd year student here. But I had to go through all of the meaningless conversations: "hi i'm from hong kong.. yeah... you?... oh that's cool... what classes do you take?..okay.. ". I don't like how the topics are so restricted when everyone is trying to meet as many people as possible. We have 3 years to know each other, what's the rush? I really don't get it. It shouldn't be about having the longest list of friends, it's should be about the amount of close friends you have. 

And tonight, I felt like a friend finally noticed me, a newly made friend in fact. We actually bonded, found common interests, laughed and joked. Something I find very enjoyable, something that makes me truly happy. 

alright, the melatonin has taken its toll. off to bed. 

peace out girl scouts, sharon

Loving my new hall, both the people and my single room 

After thousands of miles of traveling i'm finally back in school. Even though i am terribly jet lagged i didn't miss the first dance of the year (last year's was way better though). 

Time flies, when you're having fun?

October 15th. I can't believe the last time since my last post has been about a month ago. That's crazy. Time flew by. Every day has the same routine: wake up, classes, soccer practice, art studio, free time, study hall, sleep.
Classes aren't that bad. My favorite subject is still visual arts.
My English teacher is 'kray 4 Shakespeare'. He makes the class so much more interesting because he is actually passionate about the literature at hand, unlike teachers from my old school.
My History teacher is actually the craziest teacher I've ever had. She constantly picks on this kid and only this kid in my class, it's really funny (not for the kid, but for the rest of us).
Science, Math same ol' same ol'... Nothing that interests me in particular.
The class I'm having most trouble with is la clase de Español. I'm trying my best and I hope that's what it counts.

So far, I am enjoying soccer a lot. I play starter side defense and I must admit that I'm not that bad. The only thing is that I get over-aggressive during games and I usually end up injured.. oops.


To be honest, yes, I am physically and mentally exhausted. But I've been to the lowest point before and I know that I am far from it. I will survive.

Parents Weekend in 4 days. New York City, I miss you!

P.s. Will be uploading photos from past month of life in school after this post.

Saturdays

 

the phone that doesn't work 

Hey guys! It's the weekend... and i had saturday classes. Good thing that it's half day only otherwise I would have died of fatigue. I spent the past three hours on tumblr while watching New Girl (hands down the best show ever).
