College, among other things~ XD
Haven't posted in here in who KNOWS how long! XD Anywho~ it's been a few weeks since I started college and so far, every thing's been pretty good here. Of the classes that I'm taking (Sociology 107, Linguistics 125 [aka Linguistics 101], Psychology 132, and Music 190 [aka Non-Western Music], and one INTD class [it's like one of those freshmen classes...]), I have to say my least favorite class has to be Psychology 132 and I SERIOUSLY wanted to drop it, but the only reason that I'm not dropping it, is because all the more interesting Psyc classes have this one as the pre-requisite. T.T Meh... and go figure that it's also the most BORING Psyc class; even my academic adviser told me that. O.o; Go figure... -___-; Ah well, thanks to the summer college program, I don't have to take an English class, as I got that gen-ed out of the way and I can relax on the math until next semester. ^^

I personally am NOT fond of the dorm that I'm living in this year and it doesn't help that the room's all uber small too. XP My roommate and I get along pretty well; though she's moving out to live on the southern half on campus as it's more convenient for where her classes are and she's there really~ often. ^^; Of course, I wonder the same thing as most of my classes are in the southern half as well, but I'll deal with it as my classes aren't back to back anyway, 'cept for one day, but it doesn't make a difference to me. At least I know that she has nothing against me, so it's all good. Though... I have no idea if I'm getting a new roommate or I'm gonna be by myself for the rest of the year. I can already see the plus sides to being alone, but with a new roommate, if that happens.. dunno if I'll get along with them. -__-;; I usually get along fairly easily with people, but we'll see what happens...

I've met some new people and have made some new friends as well, which is pretty nice. It's kinda sad though that I really don't talk to anyone else on my floor, other than my roommate (she's the same way as me -- go figure), soon to be my ex-roomie. All of them seem to have their own cliques and it's just hard to try to know any of them. That sense... it's like high school all over. I've noticed it happen a lot, which sucks; doesn't help that I can be pretty shy. -___-;;;

I also joined a bunch of clubs as well: Asian American Student Association (AASA), Archery Club, Fencing Club, Hong Kong Student Association (HKSA), Japanese Animation Society (Anime Club) [that one HAD~~ to be obvious~! XD], and Taiko Drumming. There were some other ones, but I don't have time for them... XD I'm lovin' all of 'em so far and I'll hope I'll stay in them for the time that I'm gonna be here. At this point, it's only going to be two, as this college doesn't have my major, which is Forensics. In other words, I have to transfer to another college; this way, I save some money (as the one school that I applied to that had it was a private college -- virtually EVERY school that I looked up that had it was private or private and is also an all-girl's college). Sigh... this is of course if I don't change my major within the next two years. ^^;;;

To be honest... I really don't miss home all that much; unlike other people I know and such, my family and I aren't uber close, which works in my favor in this case. Honestly, besides my mom's cooking (I want some ACTUAL, AUTHENTIC Chinese food~! T.T), my friends back home, my video games (didn't have room to bring those or my PS2 up here), and my bed (Oh. Did I mention that until now... I've NEVER slept on a bunk bed? [technically, it's more like the beds are lofted] Even over the summer, I wasn't on one.. and I officially hate it.). Well, you can't like everything... so.. I've had to just deal with it. XP I'm adjusting to that bed, but I still don't like it. ^^;

Until my next entry 'bout college... XD

---------------------------------------------------------

Wow... that was pretty long... ^^; If you don't care about my life, the parts below might be of interest, perhaps...:

- I'm working on both my icon challenges (Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch [general series] and Len Tsukimori x Kahoko Hino [La Corda D'Oro]), though... my Code Geass one's my priority, since I'm sooo~~ behind on it. XP I slack off waa~y too much. Hopefully, I can get the Code Geass ones up sometime before the end of the month Also with icons, I'm also making some extra icons on the side for practice and those will be like an icon batch as well, once I make enough (I have like 5 done).

- I KNOW Crescendo (La Corda D'Oro fansite) needs to be updated, so please STOP reminding me about it. As WELL as asking for me to re-upload the frickin' downloads. I said I was re-uploading them, and I wasn't lying about it; I've just been busy with other things. I plan on uploading the next layout with the update, among the other tad-bits that I have worked on. [Geez, people who have visited Comedy Is Love (Lovely Complex fansite) haven't been complaining... probably since I haven't uploaded the episodes yet. XP] I swear those people have really no respect when people do that, especially after I said not to ask me about those. -___-;;

- Hm, I'm considering on moving Aternal Abyss, so it's actually the main page for my mini sub-domain on baka-saru[dot]net, but I dunno if I feel like making a new layout, let alone re-coding it. I've made way~ too many layouts within the past two or so weeks; all for FLs too. T.T

Not much else to say, so toodles for now~!

I'm such a slow and lazy commenter. D:

Your classes are pretty similar to the ones one of my roommates is taking. Although it's kinda hard to tell since different colleges stick on different number titles. ;;>>

lol...I don't like my floor a whole lot anymore either. Well, it's not always that bad, but then the people in the middle get rowdy at dumb times sometimes. -_-;;
I'm getting along pretty well with one of my roommates, but both of us are having some troubles with the other one...She drives us a lil crazy sometimes. We think it's because the habits/morals/etc. that she was raised with differ from us slightly. (aka, she's a lil spoiled and self-centered...)

I haven't really made a lot of new friends that stick. Then again, being in two giant lecture classes don't quite help. ==;; I have at least one friend in my discussions/labs though.

Wow, that's a lot of clubs. I would love to join Fencing and Taiko, but umm...I can't seem to find them. ^^; I saw Taiko practice a few times at night though, but I'm not the kind who can just approach others and ask things.
I'm in archery and anime clubs though. :D (They're the only two clubs I've joined...) Sadly, both of them seem to meet up on the same weeknights, so I tend to go to Archery first since it starts first. Anime Club's is just watching anime or game night anyways. ^^;
Speaking of archery, I was trying to fix my form today, and I earned uber bruises at the elbow from the string. ==;; I'm learning to keep the elbow turned. xD;;

I agree with you about not missing home...then again, I'm only roughly an hour or so away...:T I do miss the home cooking too, sometimes. I'm actually getting sick of the cafeteria food here, somewhat. >.o
I have the top bunk. :P I'm pretty ok with it, but I'm still a lil vertically unstable every so often from not being used to living up high. -_-;;
Wait, you're in a double right? Does that mean you guys have loft beds? (Beds over desks.) Just curious, because our room has one bunk bed, one loft bed, and one dest for three of us. (The loft bed is over a double desk shared by me and one roommate).

My roomies are both SoCal people going to a NorCal school though, so their 7-8 hour drives home means that they don't go home a whole lot. Well, one of them flew home for this weekend since her mom apparently really misses her. :]

Guh...I haven't really photoshopped icons in a while...no time and inspiration. ;;>> I really do miss it though...

Anyways, good luck with classes and clubs. :] I need to make a post soon too, but I'm feeling so lazy, lol...At least I finally got around to putting up a new theme for my blogs last night. ^^;

Hey!!!
I'm glad that collage is going well for you! I miss being able to talk to you as much as we were able to during last year. I'll be sure to send you an e-mail, either during a study hall or whenever I get my computer back and working proberly... I'll let you know about that later, telling you of life here at BMHS.
So how's Archery club??? I've always wanted to try it. Lucky NHS.... What's Taiko and Fencing like? Is it hard??
I can understand about you missing your mom's cooking.... I know when I go off to school I'll miss my mom's cooking too.
I've gotta go... (I'm at work... I <3 having my mom as my boss! ^____^)
Miss ya!
~Dagger
