[ SHiZA ] the first full week of school just passed and im so glad to have ended it with a three-day weekend. last semester was such a breeze so i stuffed my new schedule with classes up the a-hole. haha. & suddenly, 5 classes turned into 7 and im breaking 80 every morning to make it to my 8am classes. i havent been on time this entire week. haha ... but i guess i got what i asked for ... a challenge. well, not really. its just that everything this term is reading-intensive. i spent my entire yesterday (sunday) reading this looong and boring story for english. i even brought my book along with me when we went out. its great coz if i just stay home while everyone goes out, ill just fall asleep or play around. on the other hand, if i bring my book, im distracted from all the shiny things and pretty shirts (trying to save is a MAJOR goal for this new year). i thought id have time to write people but i suck. haha. i even had to cut back on work hours coz at the end of the day, im left with almost no time to eat and watch tv (haha) let alone study. and i cant handle being awake for that long.

[ MAAAaaaaaAn ] and my list of things to do has just gotten longer ... cant wait for another break.

a new life to start
i may be leaving but youre always in my heart

[ RECONNECTED ] i barely ever found the time to update online during the break. but i did get to check my email and it was nice getting in touch with some people again. it was super cool hearing from baskwill again. he was telling me about more drama. and things getting better. oh and i found cristianne on friendster - er, she found me. haha ... i havent heard from that girl in forever. some days i need to hear from people like her. she has the goofiest ways when it comes to cheering me up. & i like keeping up with the kids' blogs from back home. it makes me feel a little closer to guam even though im so freakin far away. plus, i like knowing whats up at GHS and the like. Kyle's stories are always so funny. i swear that boy types just like he talks. and he really does talk that way too. haha ... awww man. im just making myself homesick. its just nice ... its always nice hearing from people you know, you know? oh and people have been filling me in on the latest on the evil principal and her latest antics ... damn guys, i wish i could be there to do more for you all! =( hope things get better guys!

[ SPRiNG SEMESTER ] not much else. my first semester ended really well ... 4 A's and 1 B. i remember spending breaks thinking about gay shit like what my handwriting will be like when school starts again! haha but yeah i had almost a MONTH of break. classes started on the 7th and so far, theyre alright (again). im still getting used to this whole college thing. its like starting a whole new school year over again though. but it was nice walking into some lecture halls and seeing at least a few familiar faces this time (as opposed to none last semester). im ready to take this one on.
