The last post of the year. 2012 was a great year for me. I've done so much: the year where i got to see Madama Butterfly (Placido Domingo the conductor), L'arc en ciel world tour concert, help out for a congresswoman for 4 months, and make new friends. Most importantly, this was the year where I made the transition from high school to college. Thank you 2012. I have been able to learn and experience so much.

And now 2013 awaits....

Happy New Year!

Kim Kardashian preggo LOLLL.

"Who are your parents?"

My friends seem to need some help from me. LOL. Am I really the one to seek advice from?

Anyways, so far I currently play the role as a college counselor and a relationship guru.....

Post-final exams

DONE WITH FINALS.

HOMEBOUND... like, in a few days.

Finals week

I was thirsty and had a final to study for and my suitemate next door was utterly distracting so I figured it would be nice to go to the library, fill up my water bottle there (because there isn't any other water fountain), and study in peace. But as soon as I walked in, and I mean SECONDS after I walked in, the fire alarm went on and we all had to evacuate in the rain............ Really now? So figuring that it would be a waste of time to wait, I headed back to my room. I pulled out a dollar to get a bottle of water from the vending machine but the freaking vending machine accepts NONE of my dollars. I am left with no drink and wasted a good 15 minutes........ I am thirsty af. I have a right to say,

College Life 4

"Already?" she said.
"That's right," I replied. "My roommate left and is transferring to another school next semester."
"So you're all alone now hunh."
"I guess for now."
She half-smiled.
"The roommate that loved everything Disney related and ritually watched an episode of Friends on repeat every time he slept."
"And now he is not there," she said.
"And now he is not there," I repeated her words.
"Don't worry," she put her hand over mine. "I'll be there for youuu!!"
"Funny. That's already stuck in my head."
"Why don't you give it a listen? His TV is gone you know!" she playfully remarked.

Back in the dorm I worked on my take home final, intently working on the essay portions. On the speaker system I played Nishino Kana's I'll Be There and imagined the girl I had lunch with earlier sing the song. Somehow it was pleasing to the senses.

ルームメイトが転校。

明日（まぁ、今日）ルームメイトが寮から出ます。そして他の大学に転校します。

人魚がめちゃ好きな不思議な男、ようおもしろかったよ、この学期。ぜんぜん一緒どこにもいかなかった事がちょっと残念だけどな。俺、他の友達ともっと知り合ったよ。。。けどな、けっこうルームメイトはおもしろい。あいつ寝るときいつも自分のテレビで「FRIENDS」のDVDをながします。かなり面白いやつだw。

「お前飽きねーの？いつも同じ番組を見て。。。」僕が言った。
「うん。。？ぜんぜん。」って答えた。

このスイートの８人、６人になります。一人は学期が始まったばかりの時大学からドロップアウトしました。僕のルームメイト出たあと僕の部屋一人です。新しい人が新学期ころに移動するかも。

ま、いってら。

The Tae Kwon Do club in my college held its first meeting tonight and discussed the possible plans for next semester. I was deemed mainly responsible for managing the club in an acceptable fashion. As the club president I helped bring up ideas and a general agenda for the club. The majority of the club right now consists of mostly faculty members and/or college graduates. Enough though I am a freshman, I am expected to lead this club and take it wherever I feel. So many things to doooo.

 

友達の寮にちょっと遊びに行ってけっこうつまんない話をしました。４人の女性用たちは全部大学２年生だからすこしアップした寮に住んでいます。


期末試験の時やから図書館が２４時間開いています。俺は友達と勉強をしました。俺は期末試験は全部来週。二人の友達は最初の試験が明日。やからあいつら朝まで勉強する予定です。

試験勉強僕ももうじきしないとな。。

あっ、朝の４時半か。。。

WHHYYY do almost none of the dryers in the laundry room work... all they do is barely heat my wet clothes. This sucks.

中国語の勉強です。かなりながい宿題／クイズだよ。

But the interesting thing is that there is a word that has pretty much the same pronunciation in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese..

准备－Zhunbei (Chinese)

準備ーJunbi (Japanese)

준비-- Junbi (Korean) 

And they all mean to prepare.

１Q８４のプログレス

一年以上たっていますが、人気小説家、村上春樹の「１Q８４」をまだ読み終えません。他の勉強のせいでのんびりして読む時間がありません。いちおうデスクにおいてます。けっこう厚い本ですよね、これ。

アメリカに発売した時、（２０１１年１０月）僕は急いで本屋に行って買ったのに。。笑。まだbook 3のはじめのところです。

#workin' #whycan'ttheholidayseasoncomealready

大学に入ってからあったようですが、僕は気づいてなかった。こちらのスナップルのグリーン茶です。けっこうおいしい飲み物です。

そして。。。まぁ、壁にコーラのサインの横にパイの実の袋を貼ってしまった。日本おやつ僕のトップ３にはいってるからな。Don't judge...
