The First Post is the Gateway to an Addiction:

Today I realized that I've spent 2-3 hrs contacting my future roommates via facebook, email, and skype on a daily basis for the past few days. That, in addition to my insidious knack for writing long, OCD-level to-do/to-buy/to-figure-out lists, have brought a considerable amount of joy to me (especially since I was initially dreading the thought of living in a cramped triple) But you know what? These cool cats have names (Connie & Tiffany, to be precise) and they're really nice people! The more and more I talk with them, the fewer nostalgia attacks I get and I have a feeling I'm going to be too swept up in Welcome Week madness to feel homesick. Win :)

By the way, Navneet has a blog (navneetatblogger.blogspot.com) in which she writes posts largely induced by a lack of sleep. It's private though (to ward off the malicious creepers!) so comment with your email if you'd like to be invited, <3

xoxo, Navneet

Wow

WoW = Weekend of Welcome = a bunch of things that leave new Gaels super duper tired by the end of the day.

Good times. A vlog should be coming soon! I just wanted to tell you guys why I was so MIA. I hope you're all having a good time with whatever you're busy with.

Snail Mail

It's a lost art that An and I are going to try to revive.
So, I know that we have Skype and everything, but could everyone post their new mailing addresses up when they get the chance?

I would love to send creepy love letters to you girls or perhaps some care packages...

Anywho, drop your address here or facebook message it to me or An!
We're starting our first batch of letters during the few days that I am home from vacation before heading to the east coast for another adventure!

Haircut

I got a haircut today! It makes me look like a twelve-year-old kid, but I guess that means I can play in the McDonald's playplace and eat at buffets for cheap now! :] LOL. Still, I can't wait for my hair to grow out; I'm okay with it, but I just feel like I look way too young with this cut. In the AP Biology video, I sounded like a prepubescent kid; now I LOOK like one too! -__- Hahaha. The only good things that come out of this haircut are I now have healthier hair and bangs that don't eat my face. :]

P.S. Sorry I haven't been posting on here. I figured a lot of the things I have to say when I feel like blogging tend to be either too personal or too emotional. As a result, I always find myself posting on my personal blog instead of this one. D:

It's on private though, so I'm going to need your e-mails so I can invite you guys to view it! :]

Scented candles are hardcore

Finally, a new vlog. This time there is fire.

The letter was deeper than just embarrassing closers and immature wishes. It was just weird, realizing how I thought I had it all figured out in middle school. I was such a punk. I probably still am. I wonder if my 22 year old self will say that about my 18 year old self.

Freaking out

You guys, I still don't have all of my dorm stuff or new clothes like I wanted. I AM MOVING IN AUGUST TWENTY-SIXTH.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

At the same time, the two farewell hang-outs from the past week have been so memorable, which of course, only works to make me more sad. I wrote a mess of an entry about this past Friday on my blog here.

So now I'm pretty much stressed and woefully reminiscing on days past. It's such a weird funk to be in.

I should just distract myself until my family comes around and lets me go shopping for stuff and/or I can talk to someone online so I can stop with the premature loneliness. Here, have a fun picture from yesterday:

Things will get better, right? Haha. How are all of you doing?

2 weeks vacation

I'm at the airport. I'll be back on August 29th.

When I come back, let's party! To whomever is already leaving, I miss you already!
See you when August is almost over.

Oh, and An, don't worry, I'll kidnap some kids for you while I'm at Disneyland in addition to stealing a lock of Kennedy's hair!

Ai shi teru, te amo, I love you, je t'aime. Everywhere I go, I always say the same thing.

So I was hanging out with Tiffany and Vicki tonight, and it was loads of fun. I learned a couple of different phrases in Mandarin, but none of them stuck except for "no good," haha...

I asked my parents how to say random crap today too. They think I'm crazy. More than they had always believed...

Anyway, you all get to see my new haircut and me smiling with my retainer on and behind on the white board is a new phrase I learned: JACKPOT!

Yeah, that entire first line collectively means jackpot. I told my parents that I wanted to buy a scratcher just to say that! I realize how crazy that sounds, but I really appreciate languages, ya'know? Learning random phrases is just how I show my appreciation! So under jackpot, it says "Losing is no good." Underneath that basically says, "Isn't that right, dad?"

My dad already knows that I wrote jackpot on the board, but he doesn't know about the rest. My mom knows nothing about this. I'm kind of excited to see what their reaction will be when I wake up...

Anyway, I should go. I have work tomorrow...

See you tomorrow or Wednesday, then!

(P.S. Justher, I'm sorry if I messed up your tags by interpreting them differently for my own intentions! Does that even make any sense? I need sleep, STAT!)

August is here, what?!

So, since my last vlog, I've watched Inception! Christopher Nolan is brilliant and a master at his craft!

I've also been talking to Thi Van quite a bit... He keeps asking me if I want to hang out, but I don't know what his intentions are. He's a genuinely good guy, but I'm not interested. I hope he and everyone else knows that. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Gah, I just helped him stand up to his ex-girlfriend too who just happens to be a good friend of mine. It's ridiculous, they're broken up, but they still end up breathing a lot of the same air when they're about ready to rip each other's throats out. Anyway, I shouldn't be bothering you with this. I just need help dealing with this whole hang out thing. Does anyone want to go hit golf balls on Saturday with me and Thi, possibly?

Anyway, I'm just gonna go to sleep. I'm so tired. Working mornings and nights is exhausting and I can't wait to be done with it. I can't wait to party it up at Disneyland, with The Maine, and mi familia!

Hehe, speaking of The Maine, happy birthday John Ohhh. And our president, Barack Obama, thanks KRON4, for telling me.

Picture frame and roommates

Hooray for the first day of August! I still need to buy all the stuff for my dorm. I'm awesome. I also need a haircut. Double-awesome!
