hello again.
it’s so hard to pick up from where i left off. i feel so behind on this blog. so much is on my mind.
brain explosion.
1. college: i’m moving in to usc on august 17th. that is so unbelievably soon. i mean i feel as if i just got back from asia.
i found out who my roommate was though, and that made me a little bit more excited to go to college. 🙂
i have just piles and piles of usc stuff that i need to go through. actually, i told myself i would do that today… but i obviously still havn’t. ugh. so much stuff. so much.
i still havn’t bought anything for college yet either. gosh. what’s wrong with me. i’m being a total procrastinator right now. i really am excited to go dorm shopping though. i think that’ll be tons of fun.
2. love boat: i canNOT believe how much fun i had in that one month that i was in taiwan.
sammie and i were completely inseparable. aw. i love her sooo much.
it’s hard to imagine that you can get closer to people that you’ve known for one month than you can to people that you’ve known for years. i miss everyone so much.
i miss…
+ waking up at 7am to rita or baboo’s (our counselors) wake up calls.
+ getting ready and planning out outfits with sammie.
+ living out of a suitcase.
+ all our stupid inside jokes.
+ shopping at night markets. (i even learned how to bargain!)
+ being able to whip out an asian fan when its hot.
+ heavily air conditioned buildings.
+ deciding should we go clubbing or not. every night.
+ seven-elevening.
+ jumping on beds.
+ all our late night chats.
+ our many awkward situations.
+ yummy asian bakery bread.
+ feeling urban in the MRT. (subway)
+ having friends around 24/7.
+ ipoding and music trading on the bus.
+ singing chinese songs.
+ listening to the boys serenade us.
+ beautiful soul by jesse mccartney.
+ drinking milk tea.
+ climbing stairs to get workouts.
+ eating mango everything.
+ being able to walk to places.
+ going out with sam’s family on free days.
+ whipping out an umbrella when the sun gets too hot.
+ cheetos from taiwan and hi-chew candy.
heck i’ll even miss…
+ talking about annoying mosquito bites 24/7.
+ polluting rooms with bug spray.
+ being trapped in a hotel because of the typhoon.
but i probably won’t miss…
+ cockroach infested rooms.
+ broken hotel toilets.
+ gross meat that nearly made us turn vegetarian.
sam and i avoided the internet for an entire month in taiwan. it felt so good to be free. you should try it.
i met taiwanese students from all over the country, from canada, and even a few from other parts of the world. the last day was the worst. i never thought i’d cry at the end of any type of camp. heck, i didn’t even cry at graduation. but it felt so real. so much like the end. i wonder if i will ever see these people again. either way, i really miss them & taiwan.
loveboat 2005 <3
3. a “modest” home makeover: we’re redoing some of the inside of our house, and i’m so excited. i keep looking through random design magazines during my free time. when my sister and i got so excited and tried to name it “extreme home makeover,” my mom was like “no. i don’t like extreme. it will be a modest home makeover.” haha.
we’re currently repainting my sister’s room this beautiful light turquoise-y color. fun.
4: carton and madame defarge: of the five fishies that danny gave me for my birthday, only two remain. i’m sad.
5. it’s good to be home: i love socal. as much as i will miss taiwan, southern california will always be my home. i’m a total cali girl at heart.
i’ve missed you friends. i hope i can see everyone before i leave for college. wow. that’s soon.
RAVE// i got a facebook. wut wut.
RANT// i miss loveboat.
