PWAHA. I LIVE.
...Wow, that was a really long hiatus from me. I've been alive on facebook and all, but here? Mwehh, well.
Currently, I am on my third-to-last day at Stanford's EPGY program. I'm probably too glad to be going home soon... On Thursday evening, I'll be going home with my sister back to the Bay area, and then on Sunday afternoon I'll finally be back in my own (cockroach-infested and entirely too hot) little abode down in Southern California. And, uh, it will not be the same as before. :D Mostly because the... Well, I hesitate to say "culture shock," even if that's what it really was, but just dorm life and everything -- and being so "far" away from home -- really wrecked me psychologically for a bit. It's made me seriously rethink going across the country to Rensselaer or however it's spelled for college. I think I may just go with my sister's suggestion of sticking to a nearby junior college, figure out my major and my future, and go from there.
...That, and I will never ever EVER take my mother's cooking for granted ever again. D:!!
Otherwise, it hasn't been too bad. It does kind of suck that my end-of-term project here is the HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE... But there are always downsides to everything. And it's not that bad, either, because I finally got my butt in gear about it and it's mostly done, I just need to practice and polish a few things here and there. Thank God for no grades... Just "evaluations." :) And I'm totally banking on getting a good evaluation based on the fact that almost every night I've scrubbed down the tables and picked up trash and kept the kitchen fairly tidy all throughout. Waha, I am ze Kairos house elf. 8D
Totally going to miss my roommate at the end of this, though. D: She's going back to Holland! After another six weeks or something over here. Wahh, Esther, don't leave usss! We must continue to discuss how noisy the guys are and how bad Ben is at cleaning over Oreo cookies! Bwahhh...
The nice thing is that a lot of the people here are from SoCal... So there's a fair chance I'll run into some of them again. And my friend from Vegas (he's a dorky little gay boy XD) has my same birthday! So I'm going to hop a flight over to him on September 18th so we can go see Phantom of the Opera together. Or something. Or maybe I'll just send him something fairly expensive from Hello Kitty, because he adores Hello Kitty and all things pink.
Yes, the time here has been pretty darn good. And I've also been working on a character-focused story on the Diamondesque universe all throughout... And it's the first real time something from that universe has been read by someone other than me ever since it got revamped a year or two ago. It's a pretty sad story, but it has the usual stuff... Some fighting, androids, crazy unrequited love... No slash, though, haha.
...Yus. And that's about it from me. :) Azu out for now!
