最近我希望要時間...

Damn, it's been a long time since I've updated this thing... well, I'm still alive a kicking :)

So.

Obama won.

WoOt yeah~

In HK right now and it's almost time to leave for Xian, in about four days.

Honestly, it's amazing when you put 57 people in the same program and see how people get along or don't rather. I've met some really good people and I hope to keep in contact because honestly again, I have never met a few people that I have instantly clicked with like I did here. Maybe it was just the situation and place, but I'm not taking it for granted.

I'll miss HK and these people but I'm looking forward to when I'll be with my friends back in Florida/UF.

There's a lot that's been going on and a lot of other things that haven't so there will be some stories/entries for those later on. Some one hold me to that because I don't think I'll type them at all if no one does.

Good night~

Nothing like fiction to give oneself a fake emotional roller coaster.

Days are filled with interaction with people and it's pleasant, that there aren'tso many people making you feel like you're just putting on a little mask for everyone you say hi to.

Not that I feel that way during the year.

Of course not.


"Something always
brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do
I'll still feel you here 'til the
moment I'm gone."

Today I got into my element with extra books from the library.

I've checked out three books on Cantonese - about the disappearing Hakka accent, writing system, and one on "Prosody and Prosodic Transfer in Foreign Language Acquisition: Cantonese and Japanese."

Gods, I'm a big nerd.

But I love it!

New hobby might be Cardio Kickboxing at the Student Rec. Center.

It's painful afterwards.

I've come to update! Er... yeah, that was pretty catchy right?

Anyway, so I'm at UF for the summer and for the two weeks that have passed by, it's been pretty good and relaxing! I don't know why I didn't come here for summer school in the first place. There's not that many people, the minimum of credits is 6, and the pace is great - not fast, but not painstakingly slow either.

I've spent a good deal of time with my friends and it's nice since we're all not too busy... sometimes.

At this point, I definitely am grateful I'm not at home, working my days away and just going home to be not-social to save on gas money and whatever.

Hmm... I'd like a say a few other things but I'll leave that up for tomorrow to talk about. Night all.

Thanks you guys for the comments! I was pleasantly surprised to find responses :D Ah, in any case, I figured that maybe I'd randomly post something like this:

Check it, it's gree~eeat-

Way before this week, I was dreading the last couple of weeks. A lot of stuff happened, maybe not to me, but I was there - organization elections, concessions, meetings/interviews to infinity, homework, papers, still have more papers... I guess I'm whining but I feel maybe I'm entitled to it.

In any case, I don't feel that panicking feeling with my heart (or at least that's what it feels like) twisting/stopping with another day passing, and the random splotches of rashes on my person - which I have yet to figure out but at least it goes away with some allergy medicine. I don't know if it has to do with food or just the season but it's new to me too... ::shrug::

I saw Greta today and that made my night whilst I was working on my 'Sounds' paper due later this afternoon. We randomly talked while studying. It was chill :)

Time for some food and to put the finishing typed touches on my paper. Thanks to you, whoever is reading.

So what do you people think about make up?

I never use it on a daily basis but that's because I don't know how to use it.

It's time to pay apparently, with what I don't know but it'll be something... just something.

I COMPLETELY forgot about my production quiz in Sounds of Human Language! Ugh! I pull this shit after asking Sarah about my grade too... egads, I hate this and hating myself for the rest of the night apparently.

Hey lookie, a post!

Ha, in any case, it's been a while and I'm too sure what to think about my life thus far in my 2nd year of college. It's definitely been a ride and there have been a lot of changes, from the minute to the ginormous. Yes, that's a word, I would know right, being a Linguistics major? ;)

A little more serious...can't have time pass and expect things like friendship dynamics stay the same, right? I'm glad for some and I guess nostalgic in the end of it. Just a note here for myself that I'll admit outright, if you really don't like me because of any reason like some thing that happened the past and can't talk with me about it, I feel you're trying to be my friend - don't even, save both of us the trouble.

School. What can I say? I love most of my classes but that doesn't mean I'm doing well in them. I study and am doing my best but after all, it isn't enough. That's looks contradictory doesn't it? We'll shall see in the end, ne?

Ah, well less than a month to the end of this semester and then it's summer! More possibilities!

So I'm back in Gainesville. I arrived Friday and it was pleasant in the car - slept most of the way up as per usual.

When I realized I was in Gainesville and in at the local Lollicup store here, it felt surreal being back. I had a overall relaxing break and it definitely made me happy :D I finally got to see a couple of friends that I've known since kindergarten but had lost in touch in the past two years! It was definitely awesome being with them... along with going to some awesome restaurants in the Broward area.

So I'm looking forward to this semester despite the standard looming problems of college students: early classes, textbook prices, professors/ teacher assistants who basically should NOT teach, etc. I hope this time I will get past these things so that I can do what I need to and also what I want to accomplish this semester.

So overall, I'm positive about the start of this year! It has been good so far and I would like it to stay that way.

So December, I'm not liking you too much but overall, you haven't been that bad to me.

*Argued with parents, still not talking to them really still.
*Had a great time playing Ultimate Frisbee and there was a huge turnout, awesome!
*Finally saw one cousin and his pregnant wife, who is very nice and wish I had more time to get to know: ^.^!
*Christmas with family was good and not too boring, always a plus+
*Selling a set of manga and not getting its worth, meh, and then finding out there is no money in that paypal account now, terrible.

So December, I can not wait for you to end soon enough. You know why.

brings out the worst in me. I suppose my temper and stubbornness had to be released somewhere and that is usually brought out because of my parents.

In all honesty, it feels like I'm all nice and and sweet to everyone else, doesn't it?

Well, some people I know need to learn to read people better...meaning me.

Yeah. It's 6:35 am...

AM.

I didn't sleep at all, I have been slowly by surely: creating a sideshow for my Sociology class, working on situational responses in Mandarin, and just finished my Linguistics homework...

ALL NIGHT.

T_T.

Technically, I'm not even done with the Mandarin stuff since I didn't translate all of the sentences.

TECHNICALLY.

It's 3 am, Friday morning and I've just completed 60% of my homework.

OMGFOOK.IHH8737H15.

Yeah, I need to get started on things a little earlier or how about just less homework. It's all because of Chinese. I really love learning it, speaking it, writing it... I hate the amount of homework we get and how much it factors into the grade.

Well, that's that.

Next week, the semester ends and the final exams begin! I have one class out of the way, there were only quizes in that class and just finished the last one yesterday. I will only have to go to that class next week to turn in some forms. Easiest 3 credits of my college career so far.

It's definitely time for sleep... after a shower. Thanks if you reading and if non of you guys are, well oh well, I talk to the air everyday anyway.

So... I suck at this update thing :/

But other than that, I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! May I learn to stick with what promise in due time~

I did not update whenever I could and more frequently… sorry! The beginning of this week was… pretty shitty. Last week, quizzes and homework due in nearly all my classes. This Monday, one test. Tuesday, two tests. Gah… I’m happy to say that I did all right on Monday’s test, definitely could have done better. Both tests for Tuesday… I have a good feeling from the first and horrific feeling from the second one… I might drop that class if it is very bad, very bad as in D/F grade on the exam… I am not kidding when I said it was that bad.

I never did get around to explaining why my parents make me mad some times… I will get to that when I feel I’m in the mood to elaborate and not just relaxing from my exams and meetings.

As it was Halloween… and still is for the next hour or two, I dressed up :D it was very awesome and my friends’ costumes were awesome too! I went to two meetings and that is pretty much it. I enjoyed both and I’m ready to sit back and waste time watching movies or dramas stored on my external hard drive :D g’night all~

So there are a lot of things going on... and I'm trying to understand and catch up in Statistics for the next exam - the first one that I've bombed. Like bombed in the apocalyptic way. Yes, it is that bad.

On a random note, my FList layout is fucked up. What is with that and who did it in their posting?!

:) :D XD :/ >.> -_-''

Talking to my parents is always an experience and once again, I've blown up at them. In Cantonese it's faat nau (with the 'n' pronounced as a 'l'). 發嬲

-insert slight growling noise- I don't mean to get angry at them but...!

It was my fault after all, that I said the word wrong in Cantonese anyway but they also had a dictionary and then my dad starts speaking Hakka... I can't even tell now because it sounds the same to me in Cantonese.

Well, I tried to call them back after I said 'bye' and quickly hung up. I want to appologize but can't do that when no one picks up the damn phone, thanks.

Onto studying.

[[I will definitely discuss what really erks me with them at this point and I am confused on it so... that's later]]
