It’s already 2007 and I haven’t updated since October.
A lot of changes happened I guess you could say.
After complaining a lot during the first half of the semester I look back at and you know it wasn’t too bad. Despite the fact that I really didn’t like a lot of things in the beginning I wouldn’t have it any other way. This is the first time that it actually ever felt like a new year, and I want a change in me because I had such a shitty attitude about a lot of things that wasn’t really me. So I’m gonna try to go back to being my old self--basketball crazy workaholic but with new added bonus I’ve picked up this pass semester.
Like one, I’ve come to terms with my Asian-ness. People I wish you told me was Asian, well I’m not completely Asian and I don’t think I ever will be but I’ve come to appreciate it instead of using my race to get what I need. And it’s sad that a Japanese boy band made me realize this. Not all Asian people look alike now, well the girls still kinda do but I’m a little better at finding things that distinguish each from the others. Oh and yes I like a Japanese boy band and I am not ashamed of it. If you watched them and their television shows I’m pretty sure you’d like them as well.
Two, I learned that it’s okay if I’m not superwoman or THE Richelle; I’m slowly learning that there is a reason why journalism has staffs it’s for your co-workers to help you so you won’t take all the work. Earlier in the school I wanted there to be like a family/team like setting with the staffs and I was kinda forcing that mentality when obviously I’ve always been an individualistic when it came to work, but I’m learning how to trust other people and I’d like to think they trust me too. So basically I learned that I don’t have to take everything on my own even though it’ll be a little hard to break that habit.
SCHOOL: I feel like the curriculum is so much easier than high school but the thing is it’s easier to slack off in college therefore it makes it hard for me. Like back in high school teachers wanted you to be in class it was required, it wasn’t much but at least there was that incentive to go to class. So high school is really the last time you have real teachers because in college you’re basically paying an institution where you become your own teacher. I’m doing okay at it although early morning classes kill me cause I oversleep a lot.
BOYS: So I like brunettes, and ooowee there were some good -looking brunettes in the beginning well about like four that looked almost exactly the same. You know my type the brown kinda messy tousled hair, with a strong nose and big eyes (a.k.a Jewish or Jew-look-a-likes). Well I sometimes forget that I’m in the south and meaning more than half the people will be country here (no offense Ashley and you’re country boys) and country is just not my thing but don’t get me wrong I like the south a lot. So seeing a cute brunette after brunette it’s strange that the one that got my attention was a blond. Situation with him does not make any sense at all to me, I say I don’t like him but my body tells me otherwise. I have yet to figure this out but I honestly think I’m just extremely attracted to him but I don’t like him cause I really don’t know anything about him. So I’ll keep you posted when I figured out what the fuck is going on with me.
MAVERICKS: Okay I’m going to be completely honest, half of the season is over but I’ve only seen four games in its entirety. But I do check their box score like every time they have a game so I’m being too awful about my fanaticism. And my toenails are still painted Mavericks blue!
FRIENDS: I really the people I’ve met here so far.
RESOLUTION: Stop working so hard, utilize the staff and become more amiable and social. And not use manipulation as much. Returning to my regular balanced self.
P.S.: Matsumoto will probably be the most beautiful Asian man to me (and Irem) ever!
