Wowzers. it’s the end of the quarter already, and I’ve finished with finals! it’s such a strange feeling. Im really happy I’m done with finals and this quarter actually went really fast, but I’m not sure how well i did in my classes. BUT now i know how to improve. i just have to force myself to NOT procrastinate. must not.
Anyway, now that the quarter is over for me, I’m definitely looking forward to doing nothing over break.. sort of, i suppose i should prepare for chemistry. but still i cannot wait until christmas and seeing everyone i haven’t seen since I’ve been in college. Plus i can’t wait to go home. Home is so nice. (:
GUYS! I’m in college.
this is crazy, although i still feel kind of normal about it. Im not super homesick, but i do miss home. I can’t wait to go home for thanksgiving, I’m so excited that i can’t focus in class… sort of. I really need to focus in math though and anthropology. I just need to suck it up and do my work especially because Im not even hanging out with friends a lot. I just need to do work in my dorm room and then when i want to waste time, hang out with friends… so i can be included in their friend groups. 
Anyway, I think I’ve found a Christian fellowship… well it’s more like God found me a group, at least a main one. I really like it, it’s like home, or a home away from home? everyone is really sincere and I honestly don’t feel any sort of ulterior motives within the group, it’s purely wanting to learn about God and to fellowship with his believers.
There are some other groups that I like for praise worship, but i haven’t decided which to join yet.
As for friends, i think i’ve made friends. Im not really sure… Well… i think i made friends but i think it’ll depend on how much effort i put into getting to know more about them. BUT what i do know is that i really need to stay in contact with them! College really makes it hard to have close friends, specially during midterm season.
College life, if you want to do well, is basically, go to class and study. AND if your friends aren’t in the same class as you, then it’s hard to even SEE them on campus. I also think i should hang out with the people on my floor more… it’s a work in progress. I’m always studying inside my dorm though… L: BUT i do have friends. hahaha i don’t want to sound depressing. I just would like to make really good friends, that i’ll have for a long time. hopefully.
Classes, so far are not that bad. My math professor really gives us many chances to do well, and i thank God for that. Especially when I’m dealing with a “C” is really a D. My anthropology class i like, but not my TA so much, he does try though, it’s just hard to understand what he wants, therefore, it’s hard to get a good grade from him. BUT i think I’m improving? All i know is that, God knows the plans he’s made for me, and i just have to trust in him.
I hope i get my classes next quarter.
hmmm exciting things I’ve done while at college. I went to a football game 
which i think is an essential part of college. although i don’t know when i’ll be going again. the tickets are kind of expensive. though, i think i will definitely want to go to watch the volleyball games. college volleyball is so intense, makes me wish i didn’t get intimidated when i was going to volleyball try outs. I don’t know why i didn’t just go through with it. L: but that’s past. I do need to work out, and use my resources! I haven’t been lately. My dorm is just too far from everything. Anyway, i did go to a MOVIE Premiere! which was exciting. definitely say Justin timberlake in person, and watched his movie with him in the same theater. pretty awesome. mmmm I have yet to go to the beach. I really want to though. the ocean makes me happy.
As for my roommates, i really like them. they are the same sort of personalities as me, not to extrovert and not to introvert. like we all sort of balance each other out, and tell each other to get work done. we really have a “homey” feeling. it’s nice.
My room, well my side of the room has definitely been growing in art. I think i will slowly add art to the walls, I hope I will have a “tangled” room. I’m excited.
anyways, college has been interesting. I think i need to involve myself in more things though. :I groups?

Beginning with friday, may 13th, we had SCAC League Tournament. Which was a strange day in itself. I lost my clip that morning, I was extremely nervous considering before friday i had lost my first game both times i went to tournament. Anyway i won my first match, lost my second, won my third, and lost my fourth. thus i was once again knocked out of the tournament.. unable to go to sections or senior trip. ): But by a change of events it turns out that i got the chance to play for 4th place. which was a miracle. thus i am now going to sections, and i can only pray that i will have the strength to play better. but i thank God soooo much for letting me get to sections and for somehow making it through. That tournament was just so weird though, and epic; there were lots of injuries and splits and random wins. anyway, THANK YOU LORD!
Saturday was prom, but before that i had my analytical writing test, and so i wasnt all excited about prom yet. the test was pretty lame. we took it in an auditorium and there was dim lighting. actually it was more like a theatre. Anyway after that i cam home at roughly 11 and started doing my hair. which i did for the first time without doing a test run. it was okay, not that great but people liked it so i guess it was okay. I started getting excited after we ate, i think i mightve just been hungry. In anycase, everyone looked so PRETTY! the only thing i wish that couldve been better was the bus ride and the time we got to prom. once again we were late. like SUPER late, like 2 hours late. and that got me pretty bummed. I wish that i had known a lot earlier to plan a bus or limo, that way we could have everyone that we get along with in the limo/bus. and wouldve gotten there on time and everything. i think our bus just didnt estimate time correctly. L: it’s okay, i didnt let it bother me that much because this was Senior Prom, i had a date, a lot of my friends went, and so i was going to have a good time at least. I really wish we got there earlier and they hadnt stopped it early. mad me mad. I do feel bad about our group of friends on the bus though… I: Anyway Next up is SENIOR SUNSET, and GRADNIGHT. sadly not senior trip. L:

one of the most interesting and maybe memorable birthdays ever. First of all im still on break for my birthday, which hasnt happened since 7th grade. so that was a plus. But anyway i turned 18 and had one of the most childish birthdayness day. nadine came over and we played UNO 4 times. which i won, joanie and nae arent good at strategy :T sad sad. and then we played monopoly. monopoly started off as a normal game of monopoly and then we added, well joanie added “high stakes,” meaning that if we could afford it, we had to buy a hotel. very high stakes. and then the monopoly board turned into an industrialized city. it was so scary. nadine was the high roller for a while. joanie went into debt many times. and i was just normal. Then joanie became high roller, and nadine went into debt. and finally i became high roller. and then we ended the game cuz i landed on a bomb. D: After our monopoly game, i blew out my candels. then we showered cuz nae ended up spontaneously sleeping over. and then built our “homeless shelter” it was very cool inside. and then went to sleep by like 130. fun fun fun. the next day mommy was surprised cuz she didnt know nadine was over. it was very funny. anyway, that’s all. today im going to go watch tron.
