ME BAK!
Indeed. Tri is back.
It has been a very long hiatus. But December was way too busy. Oh well. Many things needed to be done and what-not (exams, flying back and forth, home, friends, family, the whole escargot!) occured. But, finishing this first week of back to school has given me some time again. Time as in extra free time. So, I'll try to fill in the blanks.
I did moderately well for my first quarter. I guess I had fun. But, after exams ended and other things happened, I was really ready to go home into a deep hibernation. Which I did. It was good. I had time away to think through things in the regularity of home. I lost five pounds first quarter and gained it all back over break. That happens when you sleep for about 11 hours a day and all you do is eat and read. And I did a lot of it. I'm also less tanned. My mom was happy that she could make me fatter and paler. But, now I'm back and I'm ready to get darker and lose weight because of my laziness for eating. So.....the journey continues.
I actually got back on the day school started (Tuesday). However, I didn't know that it was Tuesday - it was still Monday in my head. (leave it up to me to forget something like that) I was ready for a Monday. But, lo-n-behold, it was Tuesday. However, I didn't miss a single class. It was kinda interesting that the supershuttle that I was on only had Texan passengers. I meet an econ grad student, a singing tennis player and a field hockey girl. It was indeed quite variegated.
But, I'm back to the old grind of classes and work. I'm doing English, Econ, French, and Orgo. I'm quite excited about the organic. I'm in my comfort zone again. So, much to do and look forward to.
This weekend was actually supposed to our snow/ski trip to Lake Tahoo. Sadly, Stanford's risk management department cancelled all ski trips due to big snow storm at Tahoo. (I didn't even know Stanford had one of those.) So, I get to sit in my dorm instead. YAY!!!! Can't you just feel my excitement. I'm brimming. You should come see me.
But, yeah.....for Thanksgiving - big flashback - I went to So Cal to visit my grandparents. It was also extremely family-filled. But, I ate alot of food and got some stuff. So it was good. I drove down with a dorm mate and up with my Uncle Huan. We went along the 101 and saw some pretty awesome landscape. We took a detour and stopped by the Guadelupe Sand Dunes on the Pacific beach. It was quite stunning to view. I'll post the pictures.
In Arlington, I got to see most of my good friends. I just hope we don't continue to drift apart. With some people, I feel like it's never gonna be the same again. Which makes me sad. Hmmm.... But, I did have fun. So, I guess that's what really counts.
Well, I don't know what else to say for now. Oh, I'm getting to know someone really well. And I'm really liking the person. I think this friendship might be a good sticker. It's something for me to look forward to. I'm excited. And the good part is that I pretty sure the feeling is reciprocal. I've had enough of these things when I am the only one putting out the effort. It's nice to have it returned.
So with this good note, I bid thee reader adieu. Je m'en vais. I'll be back soon.
