End of Freshman year of college!

Hello all! It's been awhile since I've last blogged. Let's just say these past two months has been hectic and a lot going on for me. First off, freshman year is officially over. I finished finals today. I'm so glad it's over. No more stressing out and studying so hard. Freshman year of college went by so fast this year. I remember last year in August '09, my sister and I moved in the dorms and getting ready as freshmans. This year was great. It was filled with many wonderful memories with friends and loved ones. I'm glad I met you all. You know who you are. I want to say thank you for all the great times and of course thank you all for being there for me through my hardest times. You definitely should know who you are. =) I met many people this year. I met a lot of friendly, sweet, nice people and some bitches and assholes of course. Lol. I would definitely say that first semester of freshman year is more stressful just because him and I were long distance and I had my English class that was pretty darn stressful. I had a lot of essays and writing to do. This semester is more relaxing and easier but I still worked hard for my grades and making sure I'm doing well in school. So today Nancy and I checked out McConnell Hall. Haha, I'm going to miss the memories in McConnell Hall. Staying up late doing nothing, hanging out with my girls in the dorm room, meeting next door neighbors, watching late night movies, playing board games, going out as late as I want without having a curfew or parents calling me and checking up on me, walking to Walmart/Target, having snow days and no finals first semester, going outside of McConnell to play in the snow and sledding and many more! This year was awesome. Although, I'm not going to miss showering with flip flops in the restroom, loud and drunk people running around and being loud as hell at night, random guys knocking on my door asking to chill, and taking a crap in the restroom feeling awkward because there's two more people next to you and all you hear is noises. Lmao. Now I'm officially a sophomore in college. Yay! Wow, time goes by quickly huh? I remember when I was a senior in high school and then graduating. Haha. So next semester I'm going to room with my sister and have two more friends as my suite mates in our suite style dorm. We have our own restroom in the middle. So that would be nice. But I really wished I looked over signing up for on campus housing because I realize that it's more expensive. I wished I looked carefully. Living off campus in an apartment would be cool too and cheaper but I didn't think it over. Stupid me. Anyways, I'm excited for the summer because I have a long break. I plan to find a full-time summer job though. I want to work a lot and keep myself productive. I need money and I don't want to ask parents for money. I hate it. Freshman year of college, I didn't have a job. My parents gave me and my sister money when I was in need of it. But I really don't like asking. I feel very bad because they work hard for it. I want to work over the summer and save money too. I want to also find a job for sophomore year of college. Besides working over the summer, I'm excited to see my family and friends back home. I miss them a lot. Mother's Day is on Sunday and my sister and I sent my mom a card and wrote in Chinese in it too. She received it today and she loves it. :) I plan to go on a road trip to LA with some friends over the summer. Hopefully that would work out. I do miss California a lot. I miss the beach especially! Haha. It's lovely! So the month of April has been very hard on me and for a lot of people too. It's the worst month ever. I hate it. A lot has been going on with him and I. I really hope things get better and improve. This is probably one of the biggest bump and obstacle that I have in my life right now and it's hard. It's really hard to handle and go through this. Every night I pray to God and I always have hope and faith in us. I really do believe so. I hope you know that. I cry often a lot but that's normal. I can't help it and can't hold in the tears. But I stay strong and positive everyday. I also want to thank my friends who were there for me and supporting me. I'm glad I have a lot of support. It shows me a lot of love and care. Without you all, I don't know what I would do. I miss you so much, I miss you more than ever. I want you to know that I love you so much. You are the love of my life. <3 You mean so much to me, you are very special and you are the ONE. ♥ We're going to overcome this obstacle and bump. I love you. Hmm, anyways I'm in Phoenix right now and going to be here for a week. I'm going to spend time with my sister, Lance, and my friend Sarena and hopefully Sara too. It's great to feel the heat again since Flagstaff is never really that hot. We might go partying or clubbing this weekend. Who knows. Lol. But dancing and partying does sound fun right now. I need it. It's good to take things off my mind and just have fun and not stress about school or anything. We're also probably going shopping, getting our nails done, swimming, watching movies, going downtown Phoenix and stuff. That should be fun, I hope. I'll be back in Vegas next Thursday. It will be nice to be home but at the same time it's going to be so hot! AC on 24/7. I'm also going to go job hunting. I've been applying to many places online but it's pretty hard. No one has contacted me yet. Ugh. I hope I find a job soon so I can start working soon. The sooner the better. Anyway, it's getting late now and I should go to bed soon. I'm pretty tired from all the moving out of the dorms and stuff. I feel pain in my body right now. And my right arm looks a bit bloody, a bit bruised and scratches. It looks nasty. I'll definitely update and blog more often over the summer since I have more time now. Haha. Okay, ending with a quote or two:

It's been awhile!

Hey readers, sorry it's been awhile since I've last blog or updated. I have been busy with college; writing essays, lots of reading, and studying. I have been here at NAU for almost 4 weeks, and I absolutely love it here! College life is great. I feel so free and independent! No one tells me what to do and when to do it. It is our responsibility to get things done. :) I am taking English 105, Chinese 201, Sociology 210, NAU 100, and Theatre 101. So far, English class is the hardest and a lot of work out of all the other classes. We write and read a lot in this class. We just finished our Writing Project #1, and now we are starting Writing Project #2. HURRAY! (Yeah, not really.) Oh, that's college right? It's not so bad, it's just time consuming. Chinese 201 is pretty easy for me because a lot of it is review for me since I took three years of Chinese in high school. I like our professor, he is really nice. We do not have much homework, just a lot of class work. Everyone in the class speaks pretty decent Mandarin and I am impressed. =) Okay, so Sociology 210 is my favorite class. I love it! It is interesting and I learn a lot from it. I'm in Sociology 210 because I already took Sociology 101 when I was in high school. Sociology is also my major. I do not have a declared minor yet, but I have some ideas in mind. Sociology exam #1 is next Monday. I have to study this weekend! I am quite nervous about this exam though, hopefully it'll be okay. I think my friend Heather, my sister, and I are studying together this weekend or something. NAU 100 class is the easiest class ever. We just learn more about the campus and college life. We do not have tests. We just do activities and easy homework. This class actually ends in October. =) Awesome huh? Anyways, lastly Theatre 101 is an awesome class too. It is an introduction to Theatre. =) We have like 100 students in her class and it's insane! Haha, she doesn't take attendance though. All we do for homework is read one chapter and take a quiz online. It's open book too, so it's really easy. I only have her once a week. Anyways, I do not have classes on Fridays which is pretty cool because that means I have three day weekends! :] So I took my first Chinese quiz a couple days ago. It wasn't bad at all. I was very confident in myself and know I will do well on the quiz. I got back my quiz today and I got an A on it. Yay! I am so proud of myself. :)


Other than academics, I would have to say that my social life is pretty awesome! I met so many people and became friends with them. Everyone here is friendly. =) Last weekend my girls and I went to watch Sorority Row on Friday. The movie was alright, not that scary. It made me laugh at some parts. Hahaha. The next day we decided to go downtown Flagstaff at night to hang out and just have a good time exploring and shopping. It was great. =) Although, there were some creepy guys and drunk people. Lol, it kind of fascinates me. :P My friend Katie is the most hilarious one out of the group! She cracks us up man. Oh gosh, I love her. :) Hmm, I am not sure if I'm going to hang out with them this week or if I'm doing something since I have to study for the Sociology exam. I think I am going to this social event in my friend's sorority. I think it'll be fun. I'm not in a sorority right now and I'm not even sure if I would want to. You know what they all say about fraternities and sororities right? 'PARTY' and that's all they do? Hmm.. It makes me wonder and think a lot. IF I end up joining a sorority, it would be a great one with a lot of dedication to community service! =)


Only 9 more days till I see my love again! It is going to be our one year anniversary and his 20th birthday! How lovely and exciting is that?! :) Gosh, I miss him so much. I can't wait. We are going to spend 4 days together and it's going to be great. Which means, I need to pack sometime soon. Lol.


Anyways, I am going to head out for dinner now. After that I am coming back to relax for awhile, shower, and then study for my Theatre test. =) By the way, did I mention that the weather is here is lovely? It's so fresh and breezy! I like it. Okay, time for me to go. Bye! I'll come back soon and try to update more often.
