I should REALLLLLy go see Pies and pick up that color sensor......But he's prolly out to lunch, anyways.... 
So! college!?
It's okay.
I mean, ther are parts I love and parts I hate.
The classes are wickked interesting, but the work is TOO MUCH. Just flat-out TOO MUCH. As the TA's say: "they're trying to make us break and fail". FML.
Friends? I have some pretty cool friends.
College is kinda cliques-times-a-million. Once again, I'm in the random one.....
I mean- I'm an American girl of Lebanese/Italian/Armenian descent, so OBVIOUSLY I fit right in with the Chinese, HK, and Korean students, espicially the smart boys, right?....ROFLMAOOOO!!!!
And that soudsn kidna racist, but I do not mean it that way.
I have two friends, Waih and Sven.
Waih is Chinese; he moved to New York like two years ago.
Sven is Korean; he lived in the US his whole life.
I prolly hang out with those two the msot, and we have been discussing this kind of stuff.
The first time Waih met me he asked me what I was and I said, "Uuh, American?" And he just said, straight-faced, "Oh. American girl minority." He is always wickked serious!! I was kinda taken aback. I did not really get what he meant.
Later, when I was talking to both him and Sven he asked me if I felt like I fit in with any of the groups. I thought it was a weird question. But then I thought about it:
All of my classes are mainly boys. And the majority of the kids are either Chinese or Korean. So it kidna is true. Often it is easier for the people to talk in their main languages, so they tend to speak to each other like that.
Sven said that's not true; they do it as a defense mechanism. He says they can talk fine in English, and if not, like Waih, who is not as good as me and Steven, we at least know what they mean and I can understand most all of what they are saying.
I also think it's interesting how Sven doesn't fit in anywhere. People like him and Trask get left behind becasue they are Asian and most people figure they fit in with the other Asians, but they are American, too, and cannot really speak the languages of their nationalities.
Like I said, it's just weird. I figured in college everyone would easily fit in and find their niche, but most people I know can't seem to do it. 
One of the funniest things about Sven and Waih is when they greet each other.
Waih will go 'Korean boy', with sarcasm on every syllable, and then Sven will call Waih some racial slur. and then Waih will call him 'Korean boy' again, and Sven will respond, until one of them gets sick of it and they do a stare-off. And then pretend they're gay.cIt's really entertaining.
Waih identifies people by their nationality. He describes the people I know by calling them 'Korean Boy', 'That Korean Girl', 'That Other Korean Girl', 'Chinese Boy', 'Smart Chinese Boy', and 'your HK Roommate'.
I've never really had people describe each other like that. A few of my other friends will identify people like that, too. Oh, and I'm either 'The American Girl' or 'The Lebanese Girl'. Lol.
I usually hang out with the two of them like once a week. Waih has not roommate an open-double, so there is a lot of space and we just all hang out and talk. We usually talk about things like race. It's interesting, their perscpetives.
One of the things I rememebr Waih saying that bothered Sven was that "Korean girl not want Korean boy; Korean girl want AMERICAN boy. Chinese girl not want Chinese or Korean boy; Chinese boy want AMERICAN boy. American girl want American boy." He meant 'classic American boy', as Sven put it. It kind of made me feel bad, too, beucae I don't think it's that way.
They also talked about do I 'really feel comfortable with everyone', like in Cheon Ji In and stuff. Oh! I jopined Cheon Ji In, better known as Korean Drumming. Jun is in that with meee~! xDD She is coolll!! She is in half of my classes and i consider her one of my closer friends. 
She is Korean and lived in New Zealand for a few years, and then came to the US. She is soo niceee! She is one of m favorite people here, haha!!
Back on topic. I said yeah, kidna. And then they brought up the Moon Festival. My roommate, Mia, told me I should go. When I got there I found out that she was on the staff for it and could not ahng otu with me. She had already bought me a ticket. EVERYONE there was Asian and I could not find any friends. Seeing as to how the whole thing was mainly in Chinese, I WAS kidan panicing.....But then I found some of her friends. I DID feel out of place. I had never felt like that beofre. (o.O);;
I ended up seeing a bunch of my friends, anyways, but I did feel lost. I'm not gonna lie.
So, to answer his question, I feel like I belong, but also like I don't. They will all inevtibaly speak their own languages when we're doing stuff and whatnot, but they all seem to like me invite me to do things. But on the other side of the coin, I feel like I bother them, becuae I don't speak Cantonese, or Mandarian, or Korean, or whatever.
To add another layer to this rant, the guys keep telling me to watch out becuae some Asians don't like non-Asians and they don't like people 'intruding' on their culture (for things like the Moon Festival) so I think they are just making me nervous, lol. I always try to be respectfl.
So, eayh. I really wanted to put all of that out there beucase I found it interesting- to say the least.....
Other than all that college ios pretty cool. 
I have a few American friends, lmaoooo!! When my aunts and unvles came to visit, they asked me if I did....Heh.
I also got a radio sopttt!!! 
Over a hundred people applied for a very few spots at a free-fromat (or whatever they claled it, lol) radio station. I got the 1-4am slot on Mondays. If you guys are up, lsiten in. =D
I will be playing rock/electronic. YES 'my kidna music' will also be incomspicuously mixed in..... xDD
I really am shocked, though, that as a freahman I got a THREE-OUR timeslot....they said they had twos and threes avaulabe......And like I said, over a hundred applied. I was blown awayyy!!! 
//
So they must like my kidna music. Hehe. NEVER thought I'd see teh day. ;]
I'm building a Mars Rover for one of my classes......I should REALLY go get that peice.
Tell you about THAT ONE tomorrow, hahahahahahaharoflcopterlmfaoooo!!!

I erally want to talk about a lot of things; I haven't been ehre in a whiiile, now....
but today i will talk about Esther. I just heard what happaned.... 
This is really sad.
There are so many people I talk to here, and realllly like, and then we al sign off, and....WHAT-?
We don't know.
So much happens when we are AFK, and most of it no one ever knows. So I just really wantedt o check in with everybody and hope you're all wlel.
Things happen everyday that are completely out of out control....I just really needed to write something..... I am reallly upset about this. Iam sitting in the middle of the Technology Building crying, right now....
I will really miss Esther. I loved to read her blog but only really talked to her a few times.....She seemed so nice and open and easygoing.
I know she will definately be missed.
I miss being able to talk to all of you, a lot, too, but I just have too much to do. 
The work is reallly hard, and a few times I ended up even crying becuaes I just cannot do it.
I am having a hard time, but hanging on.
I am Computer Science, and Pre-Veternerian. Wow. It's a shitload of stuff, but will all be worth it.

I've decided that that's what I am.....
So, I'm going to be a vet.....I joined the chapoter of the Humane Society for my college and decided that I am going to go vegeterian.
But I LOVE food too much.....there are some things I just CANNOT give up.
These include:
Marine Life (lmaoooo!!!)
Rite's Chicken (It's Da Bomb)
DAIRY (NUFF SAID)
Mexican (Well, DUH)
Grape Leaves (they're just leaves and rice......Rhaaaight?)
Kibbeh (It's.....Wheat. Just wheat. Schweet.)
I read the sectio of the book on chicken/eggs and am not entirely sure i can ever go to Rite's again without spazzing out, but the food there is just too goooooodddd!!!! 
I AM trying, though, to keep it at t=just those few things, though.
Today's lunch is vegan soup and mozrella sticks. (THE BEST Mozeralla sticks EVER at the Student Center, lol!!)
I think I can do this....
......LIES!!! THE VEGAN BURGERS TASTE LIKE GRILLED SALSA ZOMGWTF>NO<BBQ!!!
I tried some free samples of Vegan Chicken Nuggets. They were the shit, yo. that's what made me think I could do it. Too bad the dining hall food SUCKS ASS!!!
Well, I got a crapload of h/w to do, I just wanted to post this.

So, college is good~
I've been REALLLLLLY SUPER WAYYYY TOO BUDY!!!!!!!!!!!1 Lol.
I origionaly had fifteen credits, but I bumped it up to ninteen, and then back dow to sixteen.
I added chem becasue- GUESS WHAT!? I'm compsci AND PRE-VET!!!?! So I needed to get ahead. (^.^)// Then I needed to add an AEW (Academic Excellence Workshop) for my C programming class, and freshman cannot take 20 without s long, drawn-out appeal process, apperently, so I just dropped chem, lmaoooo!!!
Nineteen really was a bit much, though.
I had sooooo much homework.....
Now the homework is still pretty bad, but more managable.
The homework for ECS (engineering computern science) REALLY SUCKS. Lol!!!
The questions are like:
Figure out who playes which positions on the baseball team. theyre names are a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, and k, and the catcher and pitcher are married (not necessarily to each other) the leftfielder is a nmidget d is 8ft tall. And someone has kids. At least one person is not gay. Someone may have stolenj a car. List all positions and players.
It makes my brain huuuurt. (=.=);;
I'm ion a study group with two kids, Manda and Troy. They're cool, and I love hanging out with them!
Yesterday Troy came to the mall with me, Kerin ( girl on my floor), and Rika (the girl from Target, lmfao!). That was a looot of fuuun~~!!! I got a sweatshuirt and Office DVDs. xDD
I have been hanging out with those three a lot.
Also, last weekend I went to the ,all with John.
ZOMG John is wickked cool. He plays guitar and said I can play drums and we can make a bandd!!! >:]
.....I just gotta find the arsehole who lost the key to the music room....
So! the sport of choice around here? POOL!!! I'm actually not bad, comapred!!! :O Hahaha~
Oh.
So last week there was a fire in my dorm. Most people say it wasn't a real fire, but going down the stiairwell I was in, we all smelled it. 
I needed to go to class, so I just threw my stuff in my bag.
....And as I walked away I realized my stupidity and said "Rip Wii......"How to Take Over Teh Wurld".....Morrissey CD I almost got killed for..................."
T A R G E T ! ! ! ?
The CD made me remember.
So there was this hyuuuge event at Target. It was only open to my college of like at least sixteen thousand and they ahd free busses running to and from it. So some people on my floor and I decided to go.
BAD IDEA.
IT WAS A FUXXING MOB SCENE!!! D:
People were getting all trampled and stuffs.....I almost died becuase I got pinned tight against the side of the bus. It was realy terrible,a ctually......but the free stuff was cool.
But really, is was like a mob. There were NOT ebough busses......
But I got free Coke!!!
(My campus, is, of COURSE, a Pepsi campus.... !!)
So everything at Target was pretty much on sale....
I got stuff I needed:
-Some milk.
-Some oreos to go with the milk.
-Swiffer stuffs.
-Popsicles.
-....Then I saw CDs and was like, 'Ooh!' and grabbed Morrissey becusae it was on the endcap and suppossed to be good, lmao!
-Gum to throw me over fifty dollars........I was two under. Heh. So the coupon didn;t work....
...I think i got more than that, but I can;t remember what else, lol.
I wanted tog rab some cheap-ass DVDs, but I couldn;t get into that section, lmfao!
So today's the big concert on campusss!!!
There is actually one pretttty big band, and two other big ones, but less so, lol.
I'm pretty stokked!!
Fortune cookies.
I has them.
I ordered them offline becuase they;re cheap, low-calorie, and good-tasting. Heh.
I got an industrial-sized box of them and it's sitting under my bed and everyone wantsone.....roflmaoooo!!!!!

Oh, God, lookit-! I'm already al decked out in orange. Why I just go jumo offa bridge. xDDD
So! I leave for college in twelve days. After I finish writing this, I'm gonna set up a countdown....
I'm nervous. I'm not packed. By far. I need to find my good clothes. ()
What do you want to know?
I'm in a split double. 
There's one kid form my school going there, too. (He's cool.) 
I need to share a bathroom......
My room mate's from Hong Kong.
I get a fridge.
I get a credit card attached to my parents. (Which means I can't use it, lmao!)
I go to a dinner tonight for kids from my area going to my school.
.................I don't like meeting new people. I never talk. I don't like groups.
OHMYGODIMADIIIIEEEE!!!!!!! !!
Haha! It can't be tooo bad. (I hope.....
;
To recap;
I went to Florida. Then stayed home for a week. Them to Em's beach house party. Then home again. Then on a cfruise to the Bay of Fundi. Then home. Then juuust got home from my Nana's. She had knee surgery and Sari, Katsu and i stayed with her to help her and just hang out.
Then I ahd dinner with Baka-bozu, gave him his souvineer and said 'bye'. !! Oh, and got his senior pic.
He's gonna be the first to go. He leaves next Tuesday. (I get my sachedule that day, lol.)
Oh! I read the new Vampire Diaries and A Clockwork Orange. Both were really cool. Noe I'm reading Impulse (between manga, lol).
Hey, and kitties!
My dad thought he heard bats in the garage so he boarded it up while I was at Em's. Well, guess what? They WEREN'T bats. They were KITTEHSSS!!!! 
Well....More like Mama and !!!
There are five babies that we moved to out enclosed porch so that no fisher cats can get them. We're gonna get them checked out and adopted.
Their names are Mama (Duh you should know that by now.... ), Trouble (She looks JUST like Mama), Fox (Too late, I already named it. ), Smoky (It's grey lol.), Tiger (Figure it out yourself....), and Squeakers (It has THE mos thigh-pitched squeak that after the first few days the mother completely ignored becuse it whines at EVVVERYTHING..... xDD).
They're all gonna be gone by the time I come back home for Thanksgiving, though.... We can't keep them, haha!
My mom wants to keep Mama, though. My dad doesn't. (He CLEARLY wants ALL the babies lol.) But the adult cats don't alweays get adopted and my mom doesn't wanna elave her in the shelter to rot. She's sooo nice~! She only scratched me once becuase I touched her tail, lmao!
LAst night Dad went to go see them and there's a hyuuuge dog kennel on out porch becuase we used to have two German Shepards. ALL the kittehs hide behind it.
He walks in and goes, "Hi, Mama! Where're your baaabiesss?" He says this in a sing-song voice. OVer and over and over as he moves thenkennel and they all run out and away. It's sooo funnny!!!1 They all run away from Godzilla.
He picks them all p to look at tem and pet them individually.....Squeaker scratched his face and drew blood. (He's the most frightened of people... )
Then he lost Fox on the other side of the porch and under the nightstand......My dad moved all the furniture and then he crawled out and ran away. I couldn't stop laughing and he asked me where the kitty was and I pointed and he went after it, lol.
Then he put them all on the couch at once, like I mentioned earlier and this was just a few minutes after he was holding Sultan and I pet him and then he fed the fish and I ran over and it hid. He told me to 'Please not scare every BIT of wildlife in this house!!' So I just loked at him and said, "Jeez, YOU gotta scare every bit of wildlife in this house!!! 
!!" He just says that he wants to play with the babies.
God, he turns into a little kid with animals.
Also, I've been thinking it over ever since the whole kitty incident and the otherday I helped save some baby birds who's mother got killed, maybe I should be a vet. My dad says it's pretty difficult to get into school for that so I sadi "maybe I shouldn't bother" and he sad my true colors were showing. But, you know, you need sciences and maths anyhow, so maybe I should keep it in mind. It shoulnd't be too hard to swithc to pre0-med my second year he tiold me, so I'll keep it inj mind.
Well, I gotta go now to shower......I still have makeup on my face-!
UGH. THAT story first.
Yesterday Sari and Katsu were CONVINCEd it was a date with Baka-bozu. So they attacked me with makeup. I only allwoed half to be put on. 
(Did I ever tell you guys the Baka-bozu story about what happaned?)
AND EVERY FRIGGIN TIME I WALKED THROUGH A DOOR I WAS AMBUSHED WITH THAT SMELLY VICTORIA'S SECRET SHIT!!!!! 
!!
....Half the time it landed in my mouth. 
!
So...........Let's see what else life can throw at me. I go to a party at Em's tomorrow. Should be cool.
Not too much has cxhangedm I guess... (I see I just spelled that wrong....)
So:
Says~later~! (lolz)
