A Japanese and Chinese Major

Archive for May, 2007

While Julie and I were making sandwiches in the kitchen Andrew walked into the middle room and grabbed his bicycle. It had been a while since I saw him and I got the not too un-obvious feeling that he had avoided talking to me this past week or so. When I saw him I said “Hey princess” or “hey beautiful” or something like that, with which he didn’t respond and just looked straight ahead. I said “what’s up” and he didn’t reply. By that time I realized it was official, he’s gone overboard and isn’t gonna talk. Well I said bye to him anyways as he want out the door and as I expected no answer. He came back just a couple minutes later and I said “wow, that was quick”. “What were you up to? Out saving the world, as you always do?”. “Hmm” I said, “you’re being pretty quiet today”. “Do you have a sore throat or cold or something? Or are you just being stupid? Oh, you’re being stupid aren’t you?” and then he finished grabbing whatever out of the kitchen and left. The only reason why I went as far as calling him stupid is because I know it’s already gone over the edge and he has made it no chance now for us to be friends. So after Julie and I got done eating the sub sandwiches in my room we went downstairs to make some ramen just in case we were still hungry since Julie said she kinda was. We saw Charlie sitting outside on the backporch rail talking to Sean and we went outside to talk a little bit while the ramen was microwaving. Sean said they were going to play risk and I asked if I could play and he was like sure I guess so. Somehow I got to talking about how Andrew ignored me earlier and wouldn’t talk to me. Sean said it was because “Andrew fucking hates you and just can’t stands you anymore”. Sean repeated that a couple times. I was a bit surprised how strong this hate of me from Andrew was, I could definitely tell they had been talking about me for some while now. So I was ready to defend myself, and I said why? And Sean was like you know frankly, you have no manners. Charlie nodded his head and agreed with him, which made me really really pissed because then there was no one standing by my side. Besides, Charlie didn’t even live there so he didn’t know how it was like. And I was like right away “Manners?, What’ya mean manners?” And Sean was like yeah you have no manners, and it’s pretty much just the accumulation of incidences that’s lead to this point. And I’m like ok, start giving examples. At this time, I was expecting some really good fighting points against me, I mean I was really ready to fight hard to defend myself at whatever atrocity they blamed me for. Sean’s first point was about when I left the shoes in the living room. He was like you know thats a public place and we want to keep it clean and you just throw your shoes in the living room. I was surprised he brought up such a lame example, proving that I was right. I responded you know first of all, yeah I shouldn’t keep my shoes in the living room, I was wrong to have my shoes lying in the living room but you know what? I didn’t know they were there or upset Andrew until he told me, and when he told me I right away brought them upstairs to my room and I’ve never put my shoes there since, so fucking GROW UP. He didn’t have anything to say after this. I repeated it again, stressing this was like a couple weeks ago and that he needs to grow up. Then I brought up the subject of beer bottles since I think that is what drove it over the edge lately. The first party on the porch the next morning everything was clean before I could do anything, the next party we cleaned up the bottles but left the chairs out for tomorrow but Andrew brought those in when he came home too, the last time I found out that Sean did it, which I don’t know why I thought it was Andrew the whole time. I asked him why did you clean it and he told me because he knew I wasn’t going to. I asked him how do you know and he said because of all the other times. It’s then where I explained to him that I can’t clean something up if somebody already cleans it up before I do. He cleaned up the porch less than 16 hours after the fact, it was late at night we were all really drunk and wanted to go to bed, no problem because I can just clean it up in the morning, after all my house right? I come back and find it already cleaned. He wasn’t doing a very good job of fighting except that he says they do it because they know I won’t and he brought up that I don’t have manners again. I then tried to show the silliness of his reasoning of cleaning up for me and I said ok fine, well that’s pretty nice, that’s pretty nice for me if you guys are just gonna keep cleaning up after me that’s cool keep doing it, which Sean said no, next time it happens we’re throwing your stuff outside. And I said well go ahead, throw the beer bottles outside I don’t care. And he said no, you’re real stuff. I was pissed, and I felt helpless. Sometime along in there Sean came and it did feel like he kinda was on my side. It pretty much ended with Sean saying something like Andrew and you don’t click and he doesn’t like you. And I said well you know, I don’t like him either, I don’t care if he likes me or not I just don’t see why we don’t have to talk. So just don’t talk to him Sean said. Do you have any real reason you need to talk to him? And I agreed no. I have a feeling Sean probably had a similar talk like that with Andrew and which is now why Andrew isn’t talking because Sean pointed out there was no reason for him to talk to me. It pretty much ended with Charlie saying for whatever reason you and Andrew just don’t click, and just leave it at that, just leave it at that. And to that I reluctantly agreed. So Sean got mad about talking about why Andrew hates me so Sean is kind of mad too. Later that night I talked about it with Sean in his room and he helped to put on some bike patches on my inflatable bed. It worked for a short while but like always the one on the side just doesn’t stay.

Yesterday morning when I went into physics class I was informed that the reason why Monday seemed so easy was because I forgot to go to recitation, but no worry since I can miss two without being penalized. Met Julie in front of her house and we walked to Kroger and did some shopping and had to lug a huge snapple ice tea 12 pack back to the house which sucked. Came back home, that stuff happened and Julie and I talked about it. She brought up really good points, like if they are so concerned about keeping the place neat and tidy why do they leave the hookah and cigarette tabacco and ash and aluminum foil and everything out on the middle room table that makes the room look terrible? Why do they have the hookahs in the living room they only use it not anybody else so why can’t I keep my stuff there? Or if you want to talk about manners flushing the toilet after you use it is manners, not just conserving water. I miss this things because I don’t care about them and I realize when you live in a house with people you have to do certain things to allow them to feel comfortable in their own house. Now it’s the next day, wonder what will happen.

The day before I was surprised to see in Nate’s relationship status that he was going out with Akiko. I knew it was possible since they talk on MSN alot and Akiko recently broke up with her boyfriend from back home. Well, yesterday I pretty much found out it was official when Nate posted an album entitled “my lady and i” and had four pictures of them from his apple laptop camera. I’m really happy about this because I’m hoping it means that she is gonna hang out with all of us from now on. The only bad news is is that she’s only staying here until June 12th, which means I really wish it would have happened sooner. Better late than never I guess. It’s really cool now because pretty much all my friends have girlfriends, not only that, but asian girlfriends, which isn’t surprising because I met most of them by my Japanese class. The list of couples right now are: Julie and I, Jared and Ayaka, Alex and Akina, Miho and Shige, and now Nate and Akiko. Silly Jeff and Carolyn might justl like each other and go out, but Sakiko doesn’t like that. Sakiko wants to be the center of attention and have Carolyn all to herself. Yesterday Miho added me as a friend on facebook and then I decided to invite the rest I hadn’t online be-friended yet, including Akiko. When Nate told me about the Akiko thing, he said that there was some drama going on now at Morrison. It turns out that Vanessa liked Nate but never told him and when she found out about them going out she got furious, and they both live on the same floor and she won’t talk to Akiko. She wouldn’t talk to Nate either when he tried calling her. Haha oh boy I didn’t see that one coming! Julie said yeah she thought Vanessa might of had a crush on Nate but the thought had never crossed my mind at least. I guess their relationship can last for awhile too since she’s here now and Nate’s gonna be there for a whole year. I’m glad how finally Akiko realized how cool Nate actually is, when compared to the friends she was hanging out with before. That’s another thing, I can already see Judy pissed that Akiko got a boyfriend and especially Nate. Sakiko might be too.

Our view of Sakiko has changed, Nate, Julie and I. We used to think she was nice, but now we just think she’s a bitch. Sakiko goes crazy over seeing Andrew, but ignores Julie when Julie tries to just even say hello. There’s a big red flag right there – when someone is crazy over a person like Andrew, and doesn’t even say hello to Julie. There’s something really wrong going on there. Nate is also pissed at her partly because he felt she used him to get a ride to her house when she promised him guitar hero and when he took her back to her house after picking her up somewhere they didn’t even come into the living room, and the rest probably just because of how she is. I was surprised to see Nate to be the most harshest of all towards her, which is ok by me. The last time we saw her was when we ate the “freeway” at Kennedy and we grilled her. She brought a new friend like she always does, this time the guy was chinese, and she didn’t even say hi to me when she saw me getting food. Was she waiting for me to acknowledge her first? Ain’t gonna happen.

Yesterday was a Monday and so Julie and I unhappily got up from sleeping and walked each other to stats/home. When I got into stats class there was some bitch I never seen before take the back corner seat that I always sit in and had an apple laptop out. I was pissed. I thought maybe she got the idea to bring her laptop because she heard the login chime my laptop made in one of last week’s class even though I turned off the sound on it and it was very embarrising. Anyways I walked back home and just looked at stuff on the internet all day. Julie came over and I continued to surf facebook and digg or whatever and played some sixties and seventies songs that I thought she might like and she commented on. As a joke when Sean got back he heard one of the songs we were playin and started it on his computer, I think it was hollies bus stop. Later we went to drop off my books at the library and have her print out some stuff on our way to buying dinner at Wendy’s for the first time at the hospital. We brought back the food and watched an episode of ATHF, Robot Chicken, and Shin Chan on adultswim.com. It seems like ATHF and Robot Chicken episodes aren’t as good as the first ones anymore. I drank what was left of that flying dog beer I bought a couple weeks ago and just relaxed ate and watched. I was wondering why it felt so easy that day but I just couldn’t put my finger on it. I then layed down to what was supposed to be a short nap but I ended up sleeping until the morning which I should have figured was going to happen anyways. Nate called Julie’s phone while I was sleeping and woke me up half awake to tell me his good news: “I’m in!” “It’s official I’m going to Japan!”. He was really happy. I tried to be enthusiastic about congratulating him even though I knew he was going to get in anyways. And that was about the end of the day. Julie didn’t come to bed until around 3 in the morning because she was studying for her economy exam, bless her heart. But yeah in summary two really really good things happened to Nate which made the day pretty happy.

For about the last two months I’ve been earning at least a dollar a day off Google adsense, but recently this past week stats have been really low not being able to even hit that dollar mark. I don’t know, I’m a really lazy person and I just don’t feel like updating the sites everyday to try to get a buck outta things. I think I just realized that the only reason why I’m getting money is because my sites are listed in wikipedia, and when one of them was recently removed I could notice the big difference. Someone made a really nice furoshiki site to compete with mine and now even crazy ass random words like furoshiki isn’t safe anymore. I guess if all my sites will eventually get swallowed into the abyss of the Internet, is it really worth to keep up the sites? With so much competition on the Internet, I don’t see how it’s possible. Eventually people will just be going to a few sites, the big monsters like facebook, myspace, youtube, wikipedia, the walmarts of the Internet. I mean, I can honestly say I rarely check out any new sites these days besides the latest being digg.com, and even that is ranked top ten on the Internet. I think I’ve already seen that the stock market is a way easier and more reliable way to make money than relying on websites for revenue. That and a good job, which will let you invest in stock and real estate and that’s the real way to make money.

Julie and I had dinner and saw a movie last night, it was very fun. We walked down to the Japanese/Korean restaurant near Shi Sha, the one I hadn’t been to in a year or so since with Taka I think. (or maybe Ming too I don’t remember well). It was funny when we walked in because it was Julie’s friend Na Li and when she realized it and we realized it we just started talking and was like “oh, hi” , and she sat us down. She was joking around like “are you taking good care of my joo?” and I’m like “you’re julie?” and she was like yeah don’t you know we’re sisters. I ordered chicken bulgogi and Julie got some spicy kimchi/pork/tofu kinda thing. I don’t think she liked it very much but I liked it and we got it to go. We had more time than we thought so we decided we didn’t need the bus and just walked to the gateway movie theater. Although we bought the tickets before we went to dinner we didn’t need to because the theater wasn’t packed. We watched 28 Weeks Later and I thought the movie wasn’t that bad even though there seemed to be some unbelievable parts in there. When we walked out the popcorn usher guy asked us if we just saw it and asked if it was good. Before I could answer this fat gothy kinda girl butted in along with her friends going “no, no, no” and I just looked at Julie and we walked away. While going down the escalator I noticed there was some party going on on the upper level and there was a asian older woman looking at me and I thought it might have been my teacher at first but I couldn’t have been sure. We got a slushi at seven eleven. We thought it was a dollar but the guy explained why it wasn’t and because I felt sorry for the guy working there and also he had a speech impediment I felt bad and didn’t want to fight with him. When we were walking back to Julie’s place we were scared of other people because of after seeing the movie. When we fell asleep on the bed I had nightmares all night about the infected. There was one part where I was in the back of my grandma’s house backyard and there were like corner walls made of wood 2 by 4s nailed together where I leaned against one sitting down and there were like three other forming a block but some parts weren’t really connected to get through. Anyways I just sat there with a gun and waited for them to come in the night and I just sat in that corner staying low so they couldn’t see me and when they did come I think a couple did I could get a good shot at them before they could leep at me. There was another part later I was in a nice large house and outside on the front porch like far away from everyone kind of like in the country and my mom and friends were outside too and being loud and they were always being loud and I warned them not to be loud just in case there are some still left out there. I think with that house in the backyard I was able to move the fence like putting up and down curtains and I made the fence go around the entire backyard so they couldn’t see us. Another part I was back in grandma’s backyard and I was just huddled in a sleeping bag but in the sleeping bag I should have been able to be inside the house like the house was inside the sleeping bag and I had done it before but for some reason I couldn’t do it that time and I was just lying on the floor in the sleeping bag being pretty scared. There was another dream too with like gremlins and aliens and I had to trick some guy that had a gremlins movie cover to take a picture with me and when the picture took I knocked him over although not as hard as I wanted to hit him and took the cover and ripped it up to prevent something bad from happening.

Friday I turned in my radiology paper and with an article and I think most people didn’t know that. I finally told that one guy that where I was from too. I feel so stupid in that class. That night Tyler called me probably cuz I left a note on his facebook and we decided to hang out. After buying we beer we just decided to hang out at his place and we played beer pong on the front porch. Later Sean rode his bike over. The cops were down the street and there a long time because some dumb bitch thought some girl was going to get raped or something but it was just a girl’s boyfriend helping her up from the street because she was drunk. When I was really drunk I went over to the party next door and drank some of their cheap vodka. I talked to some guy there for awhile and found out that he actually lived in Japan for four years and I got his number. Sean and I then walked to Taco Bell and the guy working there told us to go away, they’re closed and a cop was by him. Well we saw the drive-through still open and Sean knew some girl that lived right behind Taco Bell and he asked if we could do a drive through and she said yes and so we did. I don’t really remember it very well I just remember getting in the back of the car on the left. Well we came back to her house and ate the food and I passed out before I finished all my tacos. When I woke up the next morning I was in a chair in the living room, and I immediately thought it was Tyler’s house and I thought fuck! why did we walk all the way back to tyler’s house when we were right next to our house? and then I realized we were still at the girl’s house, so we walked back home with sean riding his bike slow for me. Thursday Vanessa, Nate, Julie and I sat out on the front porch and drank again, wasn’t as fun as the first time though. Julie did two beer bongs, with which I was impressed. Cops came to the neighbors next door and I guess they told them to bring it inside, it was strange because they weren’t even being nearly as loud as they usually are. Nate spent the night downstairs and took a nap and studied all night for an astrology exam. ok peace.

Oh thursday I couldn’t believe it after Julie said she couldn’t go with George that day because she had a project she had to do we ran into George while we were walking to eat at Kennedy! We had a couple of beers and it just wasn’t a good thing, I laughed at bad times, like when he said good luck on your project when he was leaving. Then Julie and I went back to her dorm and we drank more beer and split a Sparks, and went to Kennedy through the “freeway” and ate really really crappy greek food, like none of it was good that really sucked.

I think it was Wednesday I was walking with Julie to go to one of my classes in the morning and sure enough I saw jiggly juice standing outside near the front of the OIE building. I’ve seen her standing out there before but I was always safe because I was inside the bus. Well I just started to act like I was rubbing my right eye and covered up the right side of my face, I think I had to act like that for a full minute and look very odd doing it. It was a very suck feeling. I came up with the idea that if I ever see the people I don’t want them to recognize me by me just covering up my face. I think I saw Tyler once when I came out of stats class and he looked at me too he might have recognized me I don’t know but I just acted like I didn’t know who he was and tried to show no reaction when I saw him, I think it probably worked because he only met me like twice and I doubt he could definitely recognize me he probably recognized me but wasn’t sure if it was really me since there were so many kids that go to this school.

You know I usually take it for granted that alot of people know what Tsukuba University is or where it is in Japan. I hope that the website Tsukuba University can provide more information about the school.

The website does a good job of providing you all the information about the school such as location, classes tought, etc.  I find that the school would probably be a very good place for international exchange students.  Not only did the site give helpful class information, but also some very nice tips of the scenery and the things to do around Tsukuba, so check it out.

After Julie and I read the journal entry of mine from last year about it being a year since the reniassance fair and Mozart night, we decided that we should celebrate the anniversary like we did last year kinda and go to eat dinner at Cane’s chicken. When we got there we sat in the same seat as we did last year and when Jared showed up we told him about how it was the anniversary of that day and he talked about how he had a fulafel that day and how I stepped on it or something even though I think he mixes that up with the Shakespeare play but it made him hungry for a fulafel and he went and got one and brought it back. To our surprise Ayaka and Jackie joined us as well, they were downtown gallery hopping or whatever looking at art and Ayaka said she thinks it was one of those things that make you not drink by doing something else and Julie and I figured it might be this year’s Mozart. Jackie looked absolutely miserable while we were eating, she just stared straight ahead or down or something like that, she just didn’t look happy. I think a big reason might be because she feels left out not having a boyfriend in our group what with Julie and I going out and Ayaka and Jared playing cutesy couple in the corner. I just think Jackie might be clingy to Ayaka and want her all for herself. Well we decided to hang out at my place that night since Sean already had like Na Li’s brother over and trying to get more people to come so we thought that would be a good idea to just hang out there. Julie and I had to walk Jackie home, and on the way we stopped by 14-0 to buy the beer. When we were crossing UDF there were a ton of cops on bikes all lined up in front of it and like 3 slutty girls taking pictures of them, and the cop called out to get someone to take the picture for her so she could be in it too and they immediately all looked right at me since I was passing by them at that moment and I said “uh, I don’t know how” and just passed by, it was pretty funny and felt pretty good. Anyways when we were buying the beer Jackie said she wasn’t going to pay for anything but still wanted to drink and giving suggestions on what she wanted, so since she wasn’t paying and that kind of pissed me off I just listened to Julie. We got a 12 pack of Blue Moon and a 6 pack of Smirnoff Green Apple and a 6 pack of flying dog, first time buying BM and FD. Blue Moon was surprisingly pretty good, I thought people liked it just because it was brewed around here but no, Flying Dog sucked it tasted like Blue Moon except just not as good.

Our neighbors were playing loud music as usual and we saw alot of porch parties while we were driving back to my place so we all decided to sit out on the front porch and drink. It was really nice out too, not too cold but got colder as the night went on. My neighbors left just about after we got all situated, the 3 of them were dressed in tuxedos and walking around talking on their cell phones. I guess it was because it was prom night, which is pretty stupid if they’re still going to prom when they’re how old and in college. Sean brought down his old little tv or something and brought it in the middle living room to play with nali’s brother and so I hooked that up with my xbox so we could blast some music. Nate didn’t recognize the song by Def Leppard, I think it was Hysteria? I’ve forgotten. While I was setting up the playlist Ayaka came and sat next to me really drunk already after a couple beers said, “Ryan”, I was like what, and she just started crying. This drew the attention of Jackie and I saw Jackie was like happy that she was crying and happy to pat on her and say “Don’t worry it’ll be ok” and that kinda stuff. Also I don’t really know if Ayaka was truly crying she was making crying noises but there weren’t any tears. Jared was drinking his everclear and dancing by himself in the living room/Andrew’s room most of the time. Nate skateboarded for a little while. Well Julie and I invited Albert to come, but when he came it was already late and Ayaka and Jared and Jackie had already left. Nate doesn’t like Albert because of what happened that one night, and so he left. I guess it was a bad idea to invite Albert. He came too late, he didn’t like the beer, he wanted something to eat, he poured one of my beers down the drain when I accidently stuck my finger in it when I pointed to it when he was holding it, him showing up made Nate leave, yeah overall not a good thing at all. Sean and Julie and Albert spent a little while on the front porch the rest of the night and Sean went in to go to bed and Albert dropped me and Julie off at her place.

Yesterday Julie and I spent the majority of the time at home, doing stuff on our computers. We ate breakfest at Kennedy, I had to make my own waffle again because they were out of pre-made smaller ones (and tastier too), and we saw some girl pay for 3 big black guys breakfest on her buckid, she asked them if they brought their buckid and they said no, and she only had 17 swipes left which Julie and I thought odd. We finished watching the rest of Star Wars. Sometime during the morning/midday Andrew came up to my room door and said something like “Hey Ryan, uh… I take it you and Sean have some cleaning up you guys have to do today?”, I don’t even look at him and just say yeah. “Cause you know uh, since it was your guy’s party and you were the hosts you know you should clean it up”, and I just say yeah again. And he’s like, “Yeah I took in all the chairs outside of the porch”, and I was like ok to that too. The truth is is that I wasn’t the one that made the mess in the living room, at all, that was Sean and nali’s brother, so sorry Andrew, I’m not going to clean up a mess that’s not mine. The only thing I was responsible for was the beer bottle and chairs outside and we brought in the beer bottles that night and he said he already brought in the chairs so I was done. I’ve realized the best way to deal with Andrew is, is to agree with him. Agree with him to anything he says, when he tells you to do something say yeah, ok, and then simply don’t do it. If you’re not going to do it anyway, what’s the point of fighting with him about it? I mean that’s the thing he’s always telling ME to do stuff, I never see him tell anyone else what to do, well he does but I mean like chores wise I think. I’m pretty sure he talked to me about cleaning up first before Sean, probably thinking that I was the one responsible for the mess. I have a feeling that whenever he sees something bad in the house he thinks I did it. Then he mentioned about his window curtains. “Hey uh I understand you guys went through my room last night, is that right?” I’m just like yeah. And he’s like “Well, uh, I noticed someone messed around with my curtain, uh, yeah don’t do that.” and I made the mistake like I said of not agreeing with him and said “well it’s just a curtain”, and he was like yeah but don’t mess with my stuff in my room, you should be happy that I let you walk through my room in the first place. Andrew, you dumbass ,your room is the fucking livingroom! It’s a livingroom made into a bedroom and the front door of the house is there! I’m going to walk through your room if I want to whether you like it or not, what do you think you can do? Tell the landlord? Beat me up? Call the cops? So just stf up. Near the middle of the day I decided to have a beer, and I grab it while Sean and Andrew were bringing in the empty beers from the living room, looking a bit mad but not saying anything, and I also ordered a laptop on sale on bestbuy.com for a total of $500. I called my mom to let her know and she wasn’t too happy about it. Later on when Julie got done making her color presentation for class today, we made some pretty damn good curry rice. It was the first time the sauce was made pretty good and not too thick and not too thin. We then decided to watch Pan’s Labrynth and after that we watched Star Wars Empire Strikes Back because shes never seen it. Well during the middle and near the end I had to bump her alot to keep her up because she was falling asleep, hoping she could last till the part where vader since hes luke’s father, but Julie didn’t give very much attention to it, she woke up a little more I think but no big reaction. Then we slept uncomfortably on the floor since my bed is inflated because we can’t stop the holes in the matress from letting out air.

Well I just got back from physics and today’s not a good day. I got a 64 on my midterm. I ran out of time and had to bullshit the show your work problems, but I ended up getting only a couple. I got all the multiple choice right, which gave me 50 points, but the show your work was also 50 and I only got 14 points, fuck. Not only that, but I made my first loss in stocks today. I sold the atr stock with a losing 28 dollars, and fuck sharetrader, I’m switching to ameritrade because they only charge 10 a trade rather than 16. If I would have kept the stock I had before buying atr, which was stec, I would have another 400 dollars right now but no because I didn’t know they re-adjusted prices for splits and I went with atr because they were splitting, stupid. Well I’m going to watch Star Wars 3 and then do some of my homework, I’m not in a very good mood at all actually I’m pretty sad right now.

Today is the reniassance fair. That means its been a full year since I visited Julie in her dorm to get my keys and buckid, unless they held the fair at a different date this year. It was a really hot day then, and Julie and I didn’t even know it was going on because we were just walking around campus. We were just walking through when we saw Jared playing with some devil sticks in one of the grassy areas. Soon we found Matt and Misa as well, I think there might have been some other people but I forget. Julie and I went into the Union to buy a smoothie from the hot dawgs place or whatever and we saw Chika sitting with some people and we went over to talk. That was when I met the foreign exchange student from Hokkaido last year and she told me it was a awesome place and that she could tell that I was going to have a fun time and a blast there already, and she told me to contact her to get a map of all the cool places there and information, which I thought was a good idea but ended up not doing.

Anyways today went alot different from that day last year. Last night Jared, Ayaka, Jackie, Julie and I went to Nate’s to watch Pirates of the Carribbean 2. I just sipped on some 110 mixed with cranberry juice and I got surprisingly pretty drunk off just that. Julie was really hungry so we made kimchi rice, but it wasn’t that good. Jackie was kind of in a bad mood, practically yelling at us to put in the movie after Nate’s roommates were done playing marble madness or whatever on the wii. Well Julie and I managed to stay up through have of the movie and then conked out, and Julie snored pretty loud according to Nate who came up and checked both of us to see who was snorring. Jackie dropped Julie and I back at her place and we went to sleep watching blind date.

This morning we called Nate and we went to Kennedy together. We sat with Jeff and Alex and his girlfriend, who is japanese. She seems like a nice person but her english is lacking, definitely a pretty big language barrier there. We talked about how I liked stocks, how Nate and Alex’s friendship was like in high school which pretty much didn’t exist, super powers, alex’s gf being laser eyes even though she wanted to change it later, jeff throwing body parts at people, and again about what happened with Nate and him thinking it rude when two foreigners speak their native language in front of him when he is sitting with them and Alex agreed. We walked through the reniassance fair once and Nate Julie and I decided to get tickets to the free Ludacris concert so Alex and his GF split. It started pouring rain and we took the bus the long way to get to the stadium since the driver didn’t stop. Well all said and done we got our two free Ludacris tickets, I made Julie get two tickets too, she asked just for one but I told her to get two and she did (She didn’t know they were free).

Julie and I went to her place she took a shower we went back to my place and played Starcraft against the computer and won really quick so we battled the rest at each other even with Sean standing in the background and watching and trying to give advice to deaf ears. We’re now sitting in the dining hall area with Julie doing her tracing for her homework and wondering what we are going to do tonight, maybe see Spiderman 3.

I think I did really good on my physics multiple choice questions but really bad on the show your work, so we’ll see how that turns out I tried to not make every answer blank and just tried to write at least something there in hopes I would get at least 1 point or something. I got a 90 on my stats exam.

Today is Cinco de Mayo too. I think that makes it a full two years since my ex-girlfriend and I went to Prom and then that lame party or something like that? It just really goes to show what difference a year can make.

Oh at the breakfest today Alex got my phone number. It’s nice making new friends, but not so nice when it’s near the end of the year and also the end of the graduation cycle. Pretty soon alot of my friends are going to be graduating without me and I’ll be left here by myself… Well what can I do about that?
