2 weeks prior to the end of the last semester I probably will ever have in UMass of Amherst... I'm finally making an entry towards the ups and downs of the semester. I'll try to start out from the top and also privatize any volatile information for the sake of keeping my ass covered in the event that my journal is bookmarked/rss'd/googled.
Phase I:
Jason obtained the UHaul. The smaller truck wasn't available so the alternative was to get a ridiculously large-sized UHaul. This larger-sized UHaul was unnecessarily large. Jason started from NH to Andover to Lowell. From there we loaded the truck with shit from my house and onward to Revere to Toan's house. And from there we convoyed to Amherst.
We arrived right at the cut off time of 5:30p. And signed the lease. There we were... apartmentmates of 277 Riverglade Dr. Apartment #7. T.Trinh, J.Myung, L.Pham, and myself
*Prior to our locating our apartment we had some issues which I will refer to as REFERENCE 1 for the private entry.
Phase II:
Upon living for a few weeks a little suspicion arose. REFERENCE 2.
Phase III:
As the semester progresses.... REFERENCE 3.
Phase IV:
REFERENCE 3.5
Phase V:
Throughout the semester there was a feeling I was having that weighed me down most of the semester and my stay here. REFERENCE 4
REFERENCE 5.
Observations:
After living out the semester, and believing that I had a purpose to return. I'm beginning that isn't the case besides trying to make the grade. I'm approaching the real end to my college career and the future still seems uncertain. What will I do beyond college? Who will I meet in the future that I can share it with? These are questions I have no immediate answer to but just to live it out week by week and see what God has planned for me.
Speaking of God:
My faith hasn't been shaken but nor has it improved. I've been in a standstill in my faith and I don't know where to begin in my walk. I hope to begin making prayers more often in life and hope to have a renewed spirit in time to come. I don't want to force myself into the faith, and I'm hoping that it'll come natural.
