&summer waves bye while autumn arrives.

Currently listening to;; For Catharina by Younha

I'm finally here. I've moved into my apartment about two weeks ago. I can't believe it. It was so creepy for the first two nights because my roomie wasn't here since her mattress didn't arrive yet. It feels incredibly strange that I'm not surrounded by my house, my room, and my family. Although I love my roomie (I shall call her L from now on :), it doesn't compare to home. She probably feels the same.

Actually, she's the best roomie ever. I'm so happy to have her! We stay up talking about all sorts of shit after we get into our respective beds, and I think we're starting to become better friends! We haven't argued yet, but I hope any won't happen :X

Classes started last Thursday, and it's still kinda funny that today was only the fourth day of class while other schools have started waaaaay earlier. I very much like my classes except for one.

It's the prereq class that I really need. In order to get into the class, the professor set up two meeting dates and those who were wait listed had to give a two minute presentation of why they should be in the class, along with their portfolio. He only gave the PTA number to certain individuals, so that's why he set up those meetings in order to make his choice. I was one of the first three people that was there on the first meeting day. He even remembered my name when I went to the first class, and guess what I found out today?

That I didn't get into the class. When I read the email, I read it over and over again for some kind of indication that it was a mistake, that he emailed me the PTA number and I just couldn't find it. However, after much scrutinizing and sighing, I am not one of those individuals. I'm even #3 wait listed, and I still can't get into the freaking class! It doesn't help that there's only ONE professor who teaches this class ONCE a year in the fall. How freaking annoying. I was so crestfallen, you wouldn't believe it. What would I do, because without that 4 unit class, I would only have 12 units. I was relying on that prereq class, and I couldn't get in?!

I don't know what to do. I'm gonna be behind, and I don't wanna do five years at UCD. I guess I could start on other stuff, but I can't start the design major without that prereq class. I also want to study abroad, but I'll be pretty sad if I can't because of this setback. I'm scared. But I've made up my mind to keep going to class and turning in my work. I've been too determined and motivated to quit now. I actually enjoyed the first class; it was pretty interesting and fun! It was finally nice to connect with people with design majors; they understoodme and the pain that I go through as a web designer. Everyone on my floor last year had a major that either included bio, chem, math, psych, etc., but no design.

While I was in the class, it just felt good to be surrounded by design majors. I want to keep feeling that. This is the second class that I actuallywant to go to.

I hate how I have to compete with so many students to get into a freaking class, and how my pass times were so late. I need to get into this class. I just haveto.

On the brighter side, I finally got into Pottermore! And it's official, I'm in Ravenclaw ♥ I always knew I would be in it, and now I am (: Except so many people are always on it, so it's offline constantly ]:

My roomie and I actually are gonna rush for two sororities: aKDphi (alpha Kappa Delta phi) and sopi (Sigma Omicron Pi). Just to see which one we like more or if we don't like them at all. I'm nervous, aha.

Sighs. Guess you just gotta make the best of what life throws at you. But, I'm gonna feel sad for a while for not "officially" getting into the class...

& a post.

The move-in day is nearing, and to be honest, I'm really nervous. Scared, perhaps, of multiple issues. I'll be out there handling all these new responsibilities that come with an apartment. I think all of this worrying is the reason why I don't fall asleep right away...too much thinking.

I'm worried about bills and paying the rent. The rent's pretty "high," according to a lot of our friends, and with my breakdown of financial aid, I probably won't much to spend on going out and stuff.

I'm also worried that my housemate, who's almost like a twin, won't like me anymore as she sees throughout the year how I live and essentially, who I am. I'm scared that it'll turn into the sad situation between my roomie and I during freshman year. I mean, I spent time with my current housemate WAAAAYY more often than my ex-roomie, and I practically lived with her and her roomie the last couple of months last year. I also hope to live with her throughout my years at Davis, and just her. I can't stand living with more than one person, two people max.

I looked through other apartments on DavisWiki, and some of them offer more and priced better than the current one I'm leased to. I thought about how my housemate and I shouldn't have rush, and how I shouldn't have let that stupid panic about how all the good apartments will disappear if I don't hurry up and lease got the best of me. STUPID ME. Next time...

I'm wait listed for a prereq class that I REALLY need in order to start taking classes for my major. I'm #11, AND I REALLY NEED TO GET IN.

Time mangement. I want to commit time to Circle K and join other clubs! Which leads to my next point...

I plan to rush for a sorority, specifically akdphi (alpha Kappa Delta Phi_. My housemate wants to rush to, and I've been debating about it for a while. I figure rushing wouldn't hurt, to see if I would like it or not. If I do get a bid, I def. don't want to do it without my housemate. Still, if we both accept, I'm quite afraid of the pledging process.

Job, job, JOB. Been looking and applying, but so far, no results. What the hell. Not cool.

All of these worries and uncertainties...I sometimes wish I could look into the future to ease me of some of my worries. UGH. I need to sleep.

&staring longly at the stars.

XAAAAAAAAAAANGA, WHAT UP. It's been a number of months since I've been here. Summer has come but now is ending soon. I can't believe Freshman Year is over; I miss my dorm and my floor. I'm excited to live in an apartment with my roomie, but I'm going to miss my family, esp. my niece & dog. However, it is time for me to be independent. This post will be somewhat scattered as I have a few rants and goals I'd like to put here before I sleep.

RANTS:

-I see elementary children nowadays with ipods, ipads, and whatever the latest technology. I also see them dressing not as their age and wearing makeup. What is this? What happened to reading, writing, or just acting silly with friends? What has technology done to the later generations? They care too much about what they look like instead of just accepting that they at least have clothes, and they'll end up growing out of it. These later generations are just growing up too fast. I'm a bit disturbed about that. What happened to imagination?

-I need a job/internship/work study. UC tutitions keep increasing, and that certainly is not the business.

-I reallywant to go to ISA and the SYTYCD tour. Money is needed first. =___=

-I'm rushing for a sorority this upcoming Fall, and I'm nervous about it because generally females are quick to judge. I'll have to try not to worry about it and just be myself. Complaining children. Enough said.

GOALS:

-Take more pics. Last year as a freshman, I didn't really take as many pics as I thought I did, and so for the next year, I just wanna take and take lots of pics! I don't wanna be afraid to take pics and just leave my camera in a bag.

-Be more confident and take more chances. Insecurity is eating me up, and it prevents me from doing things like applying for jobs and enjoying shopping.

-Eat healthy, exercise daily, sleep enough. I want to maintain a good body weight (and really really want a flat stomach/abs but that probably won't happen).

That's all I can think of...for now.

&finding the fare free flows.

Currently listening to;; Rainy Green Grass by mondialito

HAI GUYS. It is a lovely Friday because well, it's just Friday! A lot has happened, I suppose, since the last time I have updated. Let's start with the recent events!

Picnic Day 2011: It was actually fun! I went with my two floor mates and high school friend. I got a lot of free stuff, and it was such good weather on that day. I also went to DDR (Davis Davis Revolution), where different dance crews come and compete for a $1, 000 prize. There were two winners: one traditional and one modern. There were 8 dance crews, 4 traditional and 4 modern. Damn, they were all so good! I'm so jealous. I wish I could dance like that. Maybe I should've taken up dancing when I was younger rather than art. But then again, I was really into art when I was younger, and I really thought I was gonna be an artist. I feel bad for wasting my parents' money when I was younger on art classes. But, anyways. The one thing that didn't make DDR fun is that these girls were talking RIGHT behind me. The entire fucking show. It was SO irritating. I hated it. I wanted to shoot those girls. Other than that, I had a fun Saturday :)

I only have about a month and a half of my freshmen year. I just can't believe it. How can it be towards the end of the year already, in spring quarter? It just doesn't make sense. I feel like I'm gonna cry at the end of the year. BOO. And I don't cry in public, normally. I've only cried once, and that was in 9th grade for failing a Geometry test. =_______=

I'm loving my life right now, though. No matter how much I complain and whine. I love the people in my life. I wouldn't change anything. :3

&Finals Week.

Currently listening to;; Who Says by Selena Gomez & The Scene

HAI GUYS :D It's Finals Week right now, but I'm not really stressing because I already did 3/4 finals before Finals Week even started, teehehe. I have Geology on Friday, and I'm not really looking forward to that ]: On the other hand, LP's coming over this weekend, and I'm super psyched for our sleepover!

I have again became enlightened about Greek Life. An acquaintance of mine said that there are other ways to meet new people without joining Greek Life. There are numerous clubs on campus, and I have yet to explore them. She joined a couple of clubs, and she can network just as well as anyone in Greek Life. Crazy me; I was about to spend lots of time and money for Greek Life next Fall quarter.

It's currently raining right now, and I only like the rain when I'm not carrying a backpack or anything. It's so peaceful though- so nice to look at from the window. It makes me wanna nap, which I probably will end up doing :)

Ciao guys. I know it's not much of an update, but I'm on my floor mate's laptop, not mine's.

Until then, study hard! & smile :)
