Another Year Behind Us
It's another new year upon us!! Looking back, quite a random bit has happened to me. So, I'm going to take some time to reflect:
Starting from January:
'Celebrated' a friend's birthday, not really, but just gave her presents (and as I remember, not even on the day of her b-day, way before in December of the preceding year). So yeah, that was the special event.
I started the Spring semester of my 2005-2006 year, my very first year in college. I met a few people and that includes C. We became pretty good friends over time throughout the semester...though during January when we first started, I didn't really talk to him all that much. In fact, he was the one to initiate conversation. Learning Java for the first time. It was an interesting experience.
February:
I just remember Valentine's Day being very odd. I didn't have anyone, but I still felt happy...maybe because I got to eat chocolate! haha, that's all that 'holiday' is good for.
March:
Well, nothing special to note except spring break! Had some fun messing around doing as little as I could. Ironically, the guy I like H was in SF too! The thing is, I didn't know until much much later. But eh, that's how life goes.
I managed to snag manga & other such purchases that I wasn't able to make since being away at school.
April:
Nothing I remember that was particularly interesting...
May:
The last days of school before the end of the school year. I 'met' my guy H a few times. That was the most memorable because I was so enamored...it's kind of interesting how it goes. Well, it seemed like we had a good connection from the very beginning, but unfortunately, it didn't go anywhere much.
Finals came & was a pain. The very last day we were at school was the most hectic of all. Housing checkout complications making us very pissed on that day. We hurriedly packed up as best we could & tried to get back home as soon as we possibly could. In the end, I couldn't give my roomie a ride back to SF, we just didn't have the space.
Let's just say, it was a humongous mess & neither of us were happy about it. The only thing on that day that made me a little happy was that I saw H one last time before the crazy summer. :3
Around late May early June, C confessed his feelings for me...more like asked me out over MSN messenger. How romantic[/sarcasm]...though I didn't mind...it's just that I didn't think of him as more than a friend. I did like him ...but not in that way.
June:
Celebrated another friend's birthday. Her father had passed away not too long ago in February/March. So, I got together with some other people's to try to set up a surprise b-day for her!! In the end, it was quite obvious what we were planning, but it's the idea that counts. We had a good time and hopefully it made her slightly happier despite the circumstances.
July:
Yet another friend's birthday. We went to Japantown to 'celebrate' We just really spent time walking around & talking, catching up with each other. It was an interesting day. I need to get her an even better present this year!
August:
Well, the only 'great event' was my birthday on the 15th. Everyone was freaking busy but I appreciated those who celebrated with me.
I got another present from a friend later at a 'final get-together party' before everyone was off to school (at least for those who starts early).
So at the end of August, it was off to school for a brand new year!
September:
Met up with a few friends I made the previous school year. It was interesting...very awkward around C, but that couldn't be helped.
I was still getting used to my new class schedule and all that...but it wasn't so bad. I didn't realize Geology would be very difficult...but I'd learn that later on.
October:
The only days I felt something interesting occurred, was the celebration of Halloween...the crazy part of it was that peopole 'celebrated' the holiday a week before the actual day. And what's more, these celebrations were mostly parties...drinking & smoking, not what I like.
I wanted to go to the one that H's fraternity was hosting...but I realize it wouldn't be a good idea after all...plus no one would go with me. *shrugs*
I had tried to meet up with H so many times at this point...but yeah, in the end, he always seemed to be busy. The only up side was that we had some nice conversations and I slowly learned more about him.
November:
Whee...nothing great to note except the Thanksgiving holiday we had. I came back home to SF & had a good time with everyone. Of course, the same old manga buying & whatnot. The fun part of the break was going out on Black Friday with a few friends. It was great! I managed to snag a few good purchases.
The next day after that, we (my friends & I) were supposed to meet at Yerba Buena to go ice skating...in the end there was about 7 of us total & we didn't going skating. We just stayed outside in the cold acting like crazy crazy teens (we were all about 18-19, so you would think we'd be mature...quite the opposite). It was nice to see old friends & we had a great fun time :3
December:
Whee, an end to the year of 2006!!! Well, had to stress over crazy finals, which I found out turned out well for me in the end which I am very very grateful for. I managed to still pull a 3.2 GPA average. I was worried I'd fail my Stats class...but I didn't!!
I wanted to give H a gift & finally profess my feelings to him, but in the end he may have been trying to avoid me knowing that I liked him. He may like me, but because his family has moved back to Japan, I don't think he wants a long distance relationship.
Well, it's pure speculation now. I'm fine with it all. I'm determined to try one last time when the new semester begins...but if it results in us not getting together or whatnot, I'm just going to move on entirely. I'm well prepared for the outcome & I like that I know what I want & know how to move on if need be. Besides, I find it very foolish to be dogged about something like a relationship matter...If the other party doesn't want to, then there is no reason to force myself onto someone.
Christmas was uneventful...I just went out with my relatives & that was it. Passed like nothing happened.
I wanted to get a new laptop, but in the end, just decided to take my brother's and use it. I don't want to lug around my desktop to & from school is the reason for wanting a laptop. But yeah, looking forward to a new year.
I need to go to Japantown! I haven't went in all the time I've been home! It's been a week! I'm just horribly lazy xD
And now, I have a few wishes for the new year. I hope to:
- do well in my courses
- either achieve getting my license or learning how to cook or both if possible
- perhaps find new love! (of course, through much frustration, I'm finally going to make it with a certain someone or move on entirely!)
