Another Start

The first day of class, again. Winter quarter.
Well today was fairly interesting, I felt like I walked a bit too much. And it was pointless walking too. I had two classes today, and I manage to be tardy to one of them blowing off 10 points already. What a bad start, but I guess today wasn't that bad. I couldn't get in Econ 103, so I have to wait until Thursday to hopefully get in. I'm going to take the same teacher again, and I don't know why I insist in jumping in to flames again. I know this time I'll get burn, I barely passed with a C+ last quarter, but at least I kind of know the way she lectures and does her midterms. It gives me a slight edge, but the odds are still against me. Frick that.
Well, I went to Danny and Michael's pad and just chilled, my gosh it was so boring. Danny just played WoW for a really long time and I was just watching him play. It is easy to say that playing that game isn't a smart thing to do, but I guess its harder to quit then I say it is. Whatever, I hope I don't play another addicting MMORPG again, I miss Ragnarok.
Well, to start of the quarter I had Shabu-Shabu at my place. I was hoping it'll turn out disasterous because well I'm terrible in planning events, but it turned out better than I expect it to be. Quite exciting. It was really good, and I'm glad Jess came through and bought a whole bunch of food, or rather brought a whole bunch of food. It was a fun experience and we all came out quite full and without a stomach ache, so I guess yes, it was fun. Sadly the white elephant game failed, because only Jess and I brought gifts. Well I got new kitchen plates, I guess it'll somehow prove useful, maybe. We cleaned up and watch some youtube and parted ways. But it was an exciting 3 hours and I hope we are able to do this again. Maybe with more people, but too many people and my table won't fit. Besides its only fun when we are all sitting around ONE table and eating from ONE pot. Heh, life is good.

Today, Jan 2nd.
We finally got together to exchange our gifts. Well, it did not start out like that right away. I arrived at 7:15PM and to my surprise, well not really, I was early. Wilson and Kevin was there, but then again we were meeting up at Kevin's house. It was really fun just seeing them all again, it felt like I did not see them all week this week. Gosh I guess it was a busy week on my part, but I could have made time to see them, why didn't I? Anyways, everyone finally showed up, well most of them, at 8 o clock and we decided to make a run for dinner and share what we bought. The rule was 7 dollars a person, 21 dollars a team, and we cannot go to the same place. Interesting results, but the flaw: No drinks. Good thing we remedy that quickly, because Shawn bought the drinks. We ate and played Mafia, interesting game, but I couldn't voice myself well in the game. I don't know why, I'm usually able to play Mafia really well too, but today, I guess I was tired. I played a couple and sat out the rest. I was content playing Left 4 Dead, haha. Well then, finally everyone came and we all exchanged presents, that was fun. I got my Pac Sun gift card! More jeans for me. (:
I think the highlight of the day was playing Cranium, my gosh that was incredible fun. I thought we wouldn't do well, but luckily Kevin and Jimmy were in my team. Extremely great help, even though I think my Gas Station sculpture was pretty well done. But then again only Kyle got it, maybe it wasn't THAT great. We weren't doing so hot in the beginning but things picked up and the game was getting heated up. The underdogs finally went neck and neck with the veteran players, but it wasn't a typical football-flick ending. We lost, but I guess we were quite close. Yup, we finished, said our goodbyes and went home. I think this event is great, well the gift exchanging is great and all, but I love the fact that we actually got together, all of us, for this one day. I wonder how many of these 'days' we'll get before we grow old, have lives, and disappear. I love MW, I already miss it and I'm only 19.

Ten minutes to three.

Well, I don't feel like looking back on this year, because it was overall another great year for me. College, its just getting better and I'm sure this year it'll be another exciting year. A year has passed, but it did feel quite fast and at the same time no so fast. I don't know how to make that make sense, but then again its late and I don't know why I can't sleep. Oh well I'll just rant on about whatever I feel like typing. Today I went to Pasadena to see Alysia and her family. I have to say it was rather, well I can't say awkward, well maybe a little, but Alysia's family is really loving and welcoming. It wasn't hard to make conversation, but I'm glad she saved me and made me work behind the counter with her. Gave my heart a chance to feel respite for a second. I've been reading the Screwtape Letters by C.S Lewis, and it really is interesting. Actually reading makes me feel like I'm working my mind out, because i could grow mentally fatigued if I don't use my head once and a while. I've been addicted to puzzle games lately, it gives me a sense of accomplishment when I could solve word puzzles. What am I saying? Well Alysia, I think I like her a lot better now than when I first met her. She use to be the most well, I just won't say. I'm glad she slightly changed for the better, hopefully this year she could give up her nasty habits and pick up better ones, hahaha. I don't feel like talking about a New Year today, but I want a journal. I know I can't even maintain an online blog, why should I get a journal? Well I thought it'll be a great way to store my memories in. I like the whole vintage journal that's locked up in the attic kind of thing. Like when the pages become so weathered the pages are slightly torn and brownish. I'm not sure if that's a good example, but I would like to well keep it. I guess what inspired me is the Case of Benjamin Buttons, which is a fairly good movie now that I think about it. My English must be terrible right now, I'm not sure if I make that much sense, and it seems like I'm repeating myself. I have a question to myself that's been bothering me, and this is a reminder for myself again.
Well the New Year goals:
Drop the bad habits, pick up better ones.
