So I'm still on winter break, SUCKAS! It feels good to just lay back and sleep in without having to worry about getting to school on time or finishing up an essay or term paper. I love how I still have 2 WEEKS left, too. Sorry kiddos! haha.

Hmm, let's elaborate on last semester, shall we?

So my last day of finals was interesting. It was raining (how wonderful) and I had 2 finals that day: COMM and Psych. Comm was just sitting in class and listening to 4 speeches and then taking a 30 MC scantron test. I honestly felt that I didn't need to try on that final because: A) my professor grades... UGH, and B) I thought I was no where near close to an A because of how he grades. Needless to say, I finished in about 15 minutes. However, I asked how many points I had in the class without the final, and to my surprise, I was in ear-shot of getting an A-! HOW CRAZY! I was hella happy after that final, teehee.

Erma & I then chilled in MLK, where we were greeted by the security guard (shrug, haha). It's nice to talk to Erma about school, fambam problems, friend problems, and life in general; not to mention our love of everything British!

Then, I had my Psych final. That thing was ridiculous BECAUSE our professor didn't show up. We (133 students) waited for half an hour and she was a no-show. So the TA let us go. I was stunned because I spent 3-4 days working on my study guide. I guess that's college classes for you: sometimes you put so much hard work and time, sweat, blood, and tears into something that's important, but it ends up as nothing. Ugh. Oh the "wasted" hours on that study guide.

BUT! Coming home and then taking a nap, I checked my Psych prof's website, and she posted a sorry letter AND an online final. She was really gracious, so she cut the final down to 50 Q's from 75 and made the Q's easier (plus, it was open book since it was online). After about an hour and 20 minutes of answering, checking, and re-checking answers, I finished with an A, which bumped my not-trying-so-hard-B+ into an A-. It was probably the best day ever for grades, but the worst weather ever.

So that was my first semester of college. It came and it went. I made plenty of cool friends, I had wonderful moments with my new bests, and I had an overall good time. Although... it felt like the longest semester EVER... ever.

I know I had a blog back then about not being able to live up to the "college scene," but I guess I defined a "college scene" for myself. There's no need for drinks and all that, although it's okay for people to do it (not that I'm advertising underaged drinking, haha). I just want to have a good time while I'm here, because cliches always say that college is the best time of your life, right? Or was that high school?

But something that Chris typed in one of his recent notes said, "High school, what you and others might perceive as your best moments, ends with '07." And it's true. I can definitely say that I miss high school, everything that happened during that time... but it's a new year and it's time for new memories (not necessarily to replace the old ones... but to be accommodated with them, HAHA! ChAD and Psych, teehee). I'm psyched for what 2008 has in store for me.

Winter break has been okay, for the most part, however, some days had their moments while other days were filled with sleep. Like today, for example. I went out with friends to dinner in downtown SJ and I had a fabulous time! It was just a bunch of friends, sitting down and talking to each other over a plate of good food. Could it get any better than that? Sometimes I think that's what people overestimate. We don't need to have outlandish parties to get together. All it takes is for someone to take charge, plan a simple outing, and hope that people could go. I'm sad that Randy didn't get to go with us tonight though, but movie day for sure!

Speaking of friends and all those things friend-related, I'm sorry if some of you feel sad and whatnot because we didn't get to hang out and stuff, but it kinda makes me sad/pissed off at how you guys don't really let me know until last minute. I mean, most of you know about how I can't really go out all the time, let alone go out on last minute events. So that's basically the reason why I haven't been hanging out with some of you. It's just kinda annoying about how I get asked to do something that's out of my reach...

Mmm, Jong Yoon and I are talking about "growing up" and how some people kinda look down upon freshman or people who act "immature" who are in college. They need to calm down, seriously! haha. I know that people see college as a time to mature and develop, but it's a gradual process, right? Idk, I thought we were all passed the phase of "judging" each other, but how can one not, I suppose, haha. Let's just all fly to Neverland...

2008... I hope you provide more wonderful days like today.

Was that "inspirational" enough? haha.
