Really not the mood to blog right now, but it must be done.
Jeff visited me at BU for the first time this weekend. On Friday, we had dinner at the fabulous dining hall and then went to see The September Issue. It was pretty good, but somehow I expected more...
We had lunch on Saturday with my younger sister Kathy. Then it was pretty much lounging around at home before getting ready for Jeff's cousin's wedding reception. It was the typical Asian banquet-style, eating & drinking and listening to a cheesy MC. We left a little early but it was all good cause one of Jeff's other cousin was being an obnoxious drunk.

Today was a rainy Sunday. We were hesitant about going shopping since it was crappy outside, but we sucked it up and walked around for a bit. Didn't buy anything, but I guess I really wasn't in the mood.
Noooo. The weekend is over.
And ugh. People (cough, roommates) suck.

A word of advice for all you folks out there - learn from your mistakes.
I sure as hell don't.

I'm so sick of classes! I wish the weekend was here. At least tomorrow is Thursday, my favorite weekday since I only have two classes instead of the usual three (and no Japanese to make a fool of myself in).
My friend auditioned for a fashion show for the Chinese Student Association here at BU. I'm confident that she'll make it. They kept trying to get me to audition too but I was like no...I'm intimidated by it all! But I might join the club just so I have something else to do.
And randomly...how amazing does everyone look in this photo? A bunch of the supermodels on Fashion's Night Out. My dear Julia is on the very right. I love all their shoes...!

You would think that now that I'm in college, I would have tons of exciting adventures to blog about.
Quite the opposite, really. Life is ordinary. It is, however, filled with lots of work and headache. I'm already tired of school and wishing it was summer again. Or at least Christmas break.
My days consist of waking up every morning for my classes as my roommates sleep in, sitting through lectures, eating dining hall food, and then spending as much time online as I should be studying. And more recently, listening to the same Korean songs again and again. Haha.
I haven't been giving my studies my full potential. I swear I will really try.

Maybe blogging will make me feel better.
I have never been so frustrated in my life
It sucks.
I want to scream. But I might wake my roommates up.

I feel really tired for some reason...even though I slept in this weekend while visiting Jeff. His room at Clark is just so freaking dark I can't tell that it's morning!!
I took the train up to Worcester after I got out of classes on Friday. I feel like we did something that night but I can't really remember so it must not be that significant.
Saturday started out slow-ish. A bunch of us went to a nearby "mall" (meaning a plaza) to browse and then ate at Red Robin's. It was alright. I had a cheeseburger - and so did everyone else, but in variations. After we went back to Clark and everyone was getting ready for a dance that was happening.
Sooooo then we went over someone's apartment and started "pre-gaming". And then we moved to another suite after a while...and then we finally went to the dance. The theme was "geek" so everyone was wearing plaid shirts, sweaters, suspenders, and of course the geeky glasses. It was so freaking hot where everyone was dancing...SERIOUSLY. Your glasses would smog up when you entered and within a minute you are drenched in sweat. Legit.
But yeah it was alright. Today I woke up late again (haha) and I had lunch with Jeff at our usual Vietnamese restaurant in Worcester. Then I waited for the Greyhound bus back to Boston and took the T back to BU.
Now it's late(ish) and I'll just be watching the Video Music Awards for the rest of the night.

[the good 'ol summer days]"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there." -Bob MarleyI love this quote from Le Love blog.

This photo was too lovely not to share. A pink Eiffel Tower & glass bunny? I WANT.

Even though I find myself with plenty of spare time here at college, I haven't been keeping up blogging that well. I think I've just gotten lazy...
It was a long weekend this week. I am going to keep it as short & simple as possible. (And there will be random photos scattered about.)
After I was done with classes on Friday, Jeff came by BU and we had some Korean food at the 88 Food Court before heading back to Clark. He and his roommates were having a "suite-warming party". Parties aren't really my thing, but it was alright.
[New wallet from my sister, it's a lot more neon than it looks!]On Saturday, Jeff and I went to his sister's house to help out with her wedding reception favors. She's getting married in October! You'll have to wait and see what they are. It was also my friend's birthday and the three of us went to Plaster Fun Time for fun. Our pieces are not finished yet, but they're gonna be awesome.

[Jeff's cheeseburger thing]My family had a BBQ on Sunday for Labor Day (?). Lots of food and old people I didn't recognize. After all that, I went back to Clark with Jeff again. The night consisted of movies, Wii, and karaoke. I'm still tired right now.
[Making a face]Today a couple of Jeff's friends came along and we all went shopping at the Natick. After some browsing, we went to eat at Minado's. But we arrived too early for dinner and waited in the nearby Newbury Comics, laughing at Chuck Norris & Mr. T jokes. Then we ate.
[New magazines...perhaps pink is gonna be big in October?]
Now I am back at my dorm, working on my homework assignment for my Writing 101 class. I hate writing, yet I like blogging...

Phew! I am officially done with my first day of classes. It wasn't so bad. I only had three of my classes today - Japanese, US History, & Statistics.
My Japanese class was the smallest of the three. My professor seemed nice, but she kept talking in Japanese even though we didn't know what she was saying...but we did learn some greetings that I should practice. I have a bad memory.
US History was in a lecture hall, so there were probably more than a 100 of us. I forget when I have the smaller discussion class for that. It's the same for my statistics class. I think my professor said there were like 125 of us. He has a Armenian accent so it was a little hard understanding him sometimes.
It's kind of annoying that I live on the other side of campus than where my classes are. I guess the exercise is good though. But it's really hot!
Tomorrow I only have my writing class. That's the one I'm kind of nervous for...
