Classes....

Why can't we just take classes we just want to take? Bleh.... I hate this feeling of no motivation for my classes. Like there's nothing to look forward to in that class because the subject just doesn't interest you, but you have to pretend it does. But isn't that life? I guess I should be able to accept that being my age and all, but it's too hard. How are everyone's classes?

Calm Before the Storm

Sorry for the lack of updates. Training has been a bitch with me having commitments from 8:00 a.m. to 2 a.m. @_@. But enough of me bitching, it has also been one of the greatest times of my life. I've made 50+ friends who are all amazing! I really hope we can stick together through the year and whatnot.

This weekend, everyone moves in. It should be exciting! A lot of people are scared, but this time is the reason I signed up to be an RA. Not a lot of people really know this (or they probably just expect it from me :-P), but move in for me was one of the most depressing times of my life. Being 2,000 miles away from home and not knowing a single soul was a very daunting thing. Almost all of the first 6 weeks I had to hold back tears of the uncertainty of the day. Would I have someone to eat lunch with? Will they let me hang out with them? Am I the only one who doesn't have any plans this weekend? Luckily, the people on my floor are the most amazing individuals I've met in a long time. To them, I say thank you! I wouldn't be half the person I am today if it wasn't for your guys' love and friendship. So thank you Alex, Jun-wen, Emi, Elaine, Yukari, Christine, Sarah, Liz, Matt, Bessie, Amanda, Cynthia, Aimi, Emie, Brian, Joe, Lawrence, Shasta, Nuri, and Allison. You guys are all wonderful and have so much to ofter the world. I hope and pray that my residents this year are even the slightest bit as awesome as you guys are. I hope I can help them through this rough time like you guys did for me.
