2nd sem Seniors!
Finally end of 1st semester!Finals week was stressful as fuck...
Im still hella worried about my stats grade. I really don't want stats to ruin my 4.0 GPA.
Knowing how bad I did on the MC...sighh. Please.
18th birthday last Tue was spent quietly. No cake, no presents, no celebration.
It's not because of finals, it's just cuz our [nuclear] family doesn't celebrate anything.
But that's ok. I'm getting used to it. Plus, financial situation of my family right now...
As long as everyones healthy, I'm good.
One of my friend at school asked how I celebrated my birthday. And I said I didn't.
Please everyone, don't ever ask me how I celebrated my birthday. Or what I got. Or if I got anything for Christmas. Don't.
Even though finals ended, I still feel like theres so much shit to do. When will I be able to relax?
I can't wait until graduation. But then...it's just another 4 years of this all over again.
I really wish...
If I could have my dream job right now...I'd totally not go to college.
Ohh, apparently it snowed in Taiwan yesterday. Interesting.
Global warming is real; sigh.
Another thing, MP's last performance as 6 members ended last night in Taiwan.
Gaga is kicked out of the group because of his negative news and stuff.
Sigh...MP won't be the same anymore. Good-bye, one of my fav bands.
Hello, the new MP with only 5 members. I will continue to listen to and love their music.
And I will also continue to keep up to date with Gaga.
I don't get why the media, their company, netizens, and such give him so much shit for his indecent behaviors in public. He is a singer, a musician. Please focus on his music career, not his love life. Yes, I know what he did was inappropriate. But his job isn't to be a perfect role model. His job is a singer. And his love life is not part of it.
Of course, there are still lots of fans who support him, which is good...I guess.
On the other hand, please gaga, learn ur lessons and don't do stuff in public. Do whatever you want in private AS LONG AS YOUR PARTNER IS OKAY WITH IT. Then nothing would've happened.
Should've learned your lessons back then. You have no one to blame but yourself for being caught again. Sigh..gaga. I just don't want you to leave the group!
Ting ting has been *sick* for some time. I read this one report that said depression or somethin like that. I know your company keeps saying like lack of sleep and stuff. Sigh..this group is falling apart.
Another thing, Kang Xi Lai Le ended on 1/14. I just started watching less than a year ago! And now it's ending...I remember this being on before I even moved to the US. I never watched this show in Taiwan, because I was never interested in it until less than a year ago. Sigh...
Another thing, mom seems to be sick. Sigh, another thing to worry about.
Why has these 2 years, esp recently, been so stressful?
Dear lord.
Please.

The day before 18
I'm getting ready to go to sleep, but I keep wanting to post something. Like, I guess I wanna record and keep a part of me which I can look back on. My last words before 18.idk why 18 is such a "turning point" age...i mean, you are still limited in a lot of of things in society. In US, No drinking, no gambling, no....idkk
Yes voting, yes....?
On the other hand, I can legally drink in taiwan now...
but anyways.
So much has happened in 17 years. It's amazing how much things change over the course of 17 years. Currently listening to JJ's "Too Bad" and i guess it somewhat fits this theme. It's really, too bad..because I can't go back anymore. I'm no longer a minor.
I'm not looking forward to anything at all; I'd much rather stay a kid. I don't wanna grow old, I don't want time to pass. Life doesn't get much better...more and more people leave you.
Am I suppose to be excited and happy for my incoming birthday? I surely don't feel so.
I fear change. But a lot more change is coming in the upcoming months...college...friends...
Sigh...
Hope my 18th will be a smooth one. Most important is that everyone I love and everyone that loves me are happy and healthy.
It's been a peaceful last day of 17.
Here's to more joy, tears, stress, and changes in the upcoming 18th.
Good bye, my 17 years old body.
Good bye.

Late winter break/2016 post
Unlike past years, I have not reviewed my 2015. I had time, yes. But laziness took over me.Here are a few things from Winter Break:
- 我的少女時代 + Karaoke with IDFC!
- Christmas Eve at mom's friend's house
- JJ's album out on Christmas!!!
- Tokyo Steakhouse, shopping @ Nordstrom with bro
- Attended 1 of the BCP sessions (hao xing fu o)
- Submitted WSU app
- Lunch at mom's friend's husband's workplace, Microsoft (such tourists...)
- Watched "To the Fore" with bro (although he wasn't paying attention half the time...)
- Dinner at another of mom's friend's house + Coulon Park with bro. Throwing rocks into a frozen pond (didn't budge) and discussing whether a person would be able to ice skate on the pond
- Seaward Park walk + Bent's Burger (this was after winter break, but bro was still here)
- Personal family thing (this also happened after break, but bro was still here)
First week back at school was ok...actually, it's been busy mostly because of Cisco and my Popular Literature class (BC). I really need to finish those Cisco labs before the end of the semester, also need to practice for those skills test. Next week is the last week before finals week on the 18th...
There were some surprises in regards to my Lit class. I knew, when I signed up that it was a lit class focused on the gothic/horror fiction genre. But, I only expected reading books and articles, not watching horror movies!! I was surprised to see that we will eventually watch 2-3 horror movies. One of them Rated R, the other rated PG-13 (still looked scary as fuck), and the other I don't remember its rating. Ughh..haven't watch horror movies in so long, and although I'd be ok watching horror movies with a group of friends, or in a class with a bunch of people, this is an online class, which means I'm pretty much alone on this. Mom did agree to watch it with me when the time comes though, thank God. For the scarier ones, I'll probably just skip around and turn the volume down low...
The other surprise comes from its workload. Soooo much reading to do!! We were assigned to read Frankenstein first, and that was to be finished in one week, followed with online discussions on Monday. There are 24 chapters total, I started reading on Tuesday...I'm not fond of the vocab, so I've been just fast reading/skimming. I only have Ch. 24 left, and I will finish it tonight. Yay!
What else...ohh we have moved into Comparative Gov. now. Before taking the class, I was actually kind of interested to learn about other governments, and I still am I guess. But sighh...
The application for AID Summer in Taiwan has opened. And I'm still contemplating whether I should apply. It's so much work >.< You have to submit in your transcript, and like a personal essay, and the application form too off course. It's literally another college app. Haven't decided whether I should apply.
On the other hand, I still haven't finished my U Mich app nor have I completed the WSU Scholarship Application. Btw, I got my 1st acceptance letter from WSU yesterday, on Friday the 8th. I'm actually considering now, whether WSU would be a choice. For one thing, WSU scholarships along with financial aid from FAFSA would most likely make WSU the cheapest option. In addition, I would be able to live in a dorm or apartment, away from my parents and friends. I know that I'm gonna miss my parents and friends if I do go, but...sometimes I really do get tired with both parents and friends. It seems like both together can sometimes be a source of my unhappiness...
Sometimes, I wish to isolate myself. Sometimes, I wish to start over in a place where no one knows me. Sometimes, I wish people would understand me...
If all universities I apply to accepted me, and if the cost for each school were to be the exact same, I would probably choose USC. Not because it's the most well-known school out of the ones I've applied, but because the major I'd study at USC would lead me one step closer to my dream career. I've already looked into the majors at USC, and they don't have Informatics/Information Systems major like at UW or at U Mich, but they have another one...one where I can disguise my interest and conceal my dreams behind a more "normal" major in the title.
It's January 9th. You know what this means? 10 days until my birthday. I can't believe I'm gonna be 18 years old. Never thought this day would come. And truth is, as this age crept closer, I've been dreading this age. I don't wanna grow up. I don't wanna be an adult. After 18, I'll soon be 21...and then, I'll realllyyy be an adult. Sigh...
10 day countdown...I refuse to accept this >.<
May 2016 and my 18th be one that's peaceful and may all that I love and all that love me be content and happy.
