It is now 1:28 in the morning and I am sitting back in my EXTREMELY comfortable QUEEN size bed back home in my OWN bedroom. So strange how one quarter passed so quickly. But somehow it felt long yet short? What an oximoron I know. But it honestly felt that way. SO much has happend since school started. I've met so many new and interesting people and already made a couple very close friends. However there are also some not so great people I've encountered.
Hmm...So I feel like I should list some of the things I find interesting, or at least
worth noting:
Classes
I definitely enjoyed all the classes I took this quarter. Even though I didn't do as well as I hoped in one of them I feel that I did at least learn more than I could've imagined in all of them therefore, it should be the learning experience that counts! :) (although of course gpa is definitely not something to neglect in college...T-Tll)
Calculus--well the first 2 weeks I was freaking out of my mind because we were doing delta episilon proofs. "What the heck is that?!?", "my math classes have official stopped using numbers and only speak in Greek letters" was my initial reaction. It was quite intimidating at first but somehow as the classes progressed, we moved into series and different methods for integration, which I learned junior year in high school for Calc BC. Life was a breeze after that. :) Plus, Avan, my teacher was so nice and extremely helpful during office hours that I began to stop feeling so tense whenever I was doing math. I think I finally gained back a little bit confidence in math now. Ever since 8th grade I have had trouble believing in my self when doing math...but funny thing is, college math actually made me more confident :) I am very happy.
Econ- The class was so amusing because my professor would always tell us what would first appear to be random stories, but somehow they all related back to economics in the end. The lecture hall that we studied in was the hall that the great Milton Friedman did most of his lectures. This class definitely made me even more intrigued about economics! So I'm excited to see what more there is to learn :)
Media and Self- Oh my gosh! I never knew I can learn so much from these two classes! I've hardly been expose to the types of readings we did for both classes and I'm so glad I picked those 2! I always wanted to analyze a painting or film and learn the deeper meaning behind them and I actually got a chance to do it! I admit though I probably won't read philosophies of Marx and Smith in my spare time, I am glad I read those books because it explains so much of the foundations of our society. The complex ideas seriously blows my mind at times. I am glad those are sequenced classes and I get to take more of it next quarter! :)
Friends
I am so happy that I already made a couple pretty close friends. I honestly can't imagine what first quarter would be like without them. My suitemate Linda is a darling ,and so bubbly and cute. Jenny--the person I hang out with the most! She's a third year and just super super nice. Funny how we met. I actually recieved an email from her about selling textbooks and I went to get dibs on them. And somehow after that we became really really good friends! And Ji sook...such a sweet unnie! I honestly don't know what I'd do without them! Of course there are many many others too. They give me so much advice and feedback on things I am clueless about.
And much appreciation towards my neighbors. Those 4 noisy but great-hearted boys. :P One of them, Steve, who only wears Ralph Lauren, is so classy that we decided to throw a soiree for him. Those were the fun times...hehe.
I seriously can go on and on about how wonderful some of the people I met...they are so nice and caring. I am truely blessed to have met all these people!
Boys
One thing I have noticed is that college boys are definitely not mature at all. Or at least the first and second years, which for the most part is the ones I mainly met. Of course I'm speaking in general terms here and of course not EVERY SINGLE boy is immature. But for the most part, they really really are. And the majority of them are such narcissicsts that it's really amusing at times.

I can't even count how many boys think they are gorgeous and every single girl out there wants a piece of them. They always complain about how girls in our school are so ugly that they are disappointed to the fact that they can't even bare to look at us. 2 of them, whom I can't stand, actually takes tally marks of how many times girls stare at them during class. How pathetic and childish?!? Well, funny thing is, I don't find any of being a Brad Pitt! Um no, not only that...they are probably less than the average joe. Sad but true. I really don't understand how boys in my school can be so full of themselves. *sigh*. But enough ranting about them...
On a side note, there was one whom I took a little interest in. He was honestly so cute and tall and such nice wavy hair...But sadly he is taken. *ouch* no biggie though. I barely knew him. I was even surprised at how quickly I got over him and the whole ordeal...shows how much I really liked him huh? :P
Anyways, there are certain cool ones who are really easy going and nice to talk to. And they actually try to be gentlemanly from time to time. So on a brighter note, I guess there is hope for the male species afterall...
Anyhow. this entry could go on and on, but I guess this is a good generalization...it's getting really late anyways. I guess I will update more often now so I don't have to write SO much in one entry. hehe. :P
Good night~
