"let's talk about spaceships or anything except you and me, okay? okay..."
hello to all!
haha...soo...i just finished my first week of school and it's been pretty good. i'm so not used to the whole, "hi, i'm your teacher, here's your syllabus, you're responsible to do every single thing that it says, even though i don't tell you anything." so i gotta like keep checking online to see if i've got an email from the teachers or check my syllabus like a crazy person to see that i didn't miss something. i've already written two papers for my english class. crazy. and i just found out i've gotta read a whole freaking book and four chapters in my textbook in less than a week for my nursing class. on top of that, i've gotta get certified for cpr and get all these shots and get x-rays done and all this other crazy stuff. i know i'm like ranting, but i guess it's really not that bad. i'm enjoying it here. my roommate's awesome, and her friend michelle is great too. lol. i love how i get to find retarded friends anywhere in the world. :D i meet a lot of new people everyday, but it's so difficult because i can't keep their names straight and when i see them again, i just give them a sheepish smile and wave. how pathetic. :P and you know how we hear those horror stories about in public universities the classes are so big you can barely see your professor? well, NOT TRUE. okay, take it back. not true ALL the time. my sociology class and my english class has only 20 people in the class so we get to do all these discussions and get the professor's attention. my psych class, however, has 500 people, but i sit near the front so it's not that bad. i just make believe that the professor's talking to me, personally. :P my nursing class has 113 people, but it doesn't seem like there's that many people in there at all. wow. this is so incredibly boring, and i'm so sorry. lol. oh, we went ice skating two days ago! it was a lot of fun! i haven't ice skated since the sixth grade so i had a blast.
oh my gosh! last night, nora (my roommate), michelle (new friend), thuy (another new friend), and i were walking and these weird guys drove up and the driver was like, "it's our last night in this country and we want some company. are you interested?" type of thing. it was soo freaky. we were like, "no." and he kept persisting so i was like, "oh look, there's two of you, why don't you just accompany each other?" and we like laughed kinda nervously and kept walking. they were like, "are you sure?" and we said yes. finally they were like, "you girls enjoy your night." and drove off. geez. it freaking scared the crap out of me, but of course, they didn't know that. at least i hope not. haha. okay that's enough. :P
it's been a little weird lately. i wish i had my friends, but i don't necessarily want to be on guam. don't get me wrong, i love my beautiful island, but i guess it's because for right now, i know i belong here. so i know this is the place to be for now. i do wish that all my guam friends were here though, just to experience new things with me. it's great getting calls from them. i get to talk to d'angelo all the time, micah sometimes, mylynn once, mika, shiz, jasmine, ashlee, joi, alice, and jaci too. :D haha. wow. this is incredibly long. i'm gonna go do something profitable. but i don't want to because it's a saturday and i wrote a paper for english and read....so i guess i can afford to let my brain be mush for a while, right? :P alright, love and miss you guys!!
