I am an Asian-American college student majoring in Technical Communications at the University of Washington. My Spring Quarter 05 Schedule: posTComm, TC 403, TC 407, ARCH 251, ESS 495.
All I need to do is find a PAID summer internship and I'm set!
W00t! I am officially done with working! Ahhhh, now I have a good week and a half to relax. I took some pictures of the lab that I worked at this entire summer and the people that I worked with but those can wait. There's so much I could be doing right now...but nothing really jumps out at me. Now that I'm done waiting for work to be finished, I'm waiting for tomorrow and getting to see Zach at the airport :)!
Okay finally figured it out, I'm going to watch a movie.

I figure this is as good as post as any for a brief recap.
It's been a muy crazy half a year. As most, if not all of you faithful blog readers know, it's been intense TC drama and it pretty much all started with me and Zach. The general consensus at the time was "WTF is going on?!" And I can't say that I did a terribly good job at trying to explain it to anyone but I tried to stay calm throughout the whole ordeal. Maybe I was a little too calm. I went through a long period of numbness where I wasn't particularly enthused about anything and withdrew from a lot of my friends because I felt that they didn't understand, nor did they approve. Should have spent a little more time with God. I still am, but it's like taking small little steps on a steep incline to reach some flat solid ground to get used to climbing before you can start the real climbing up the steep cliff. And yeah, it's hard not to feel like a hypocrite sometimes, but I just figure, if I just seek after Him first and not worry about changing all the sins straight off the bat, that relationship will help me so much more than if I tried on my own to follow all the decrees in order to 'earn' that relationship or something.
I don't regret it. It just scared me real bad. I can't trust myself anymore, which causes many interesting side effects.
And I am super looking forward to this upcoming school year and summer and future. I'm quite happy, well taken care of, and most of all loved. While I've spent a little bit too much money this summer so I feel a little guilty, it's still not a big deal, who cares about debt? If I can pay off half of my loans when I'm done with college it'll be all good. In the mean time...this IS college, and I intend to make the most of it.

*cries* awwww, I love all of my pictures so much! I'm having the hardest time putting up the pictures I took because I'm totally running out of room.
*topic change*
AMAZING! I just read this chapt called "The House of Usher" and the entire thing is stupendous. Entirely Edgar Allan Poe wrought. While I have yet to read a decent amount of Poe's writings, I've read the more popular ones, The Masque of the Red Death, The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and Annabel Lee. I own a copy of The Collected Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, and now, upon flipping through it, I am amazed at how many short stories he has written. Short stories are extremely hard to write and they seem to tend towards the gruesome, shocking end. Ronald Dahl (yes, the same one who wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the BFG and The Witches, and James and the Giant Peach, etc.) also wrote a bunch of short stories which I have a book of a collection of them and whoo wee, are some of them thrillers. Not quite something you read over and over because the climax of the story, usually at the end, is something on the level of Fight Club-esque. I am SO glad I watched that movie first before reading the book.
I bought a bunch of nail polish today! Very cute colors but since I'm going to a wedding this Sat., I can't try them out quite yet. Need to figure out what I'm going to wear to it and then what colors to paint.
Yeah, no biggy. Anyway, what I wanted to post about was that I'm reading The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, who is an awesome writer and came upon a passage that I really like. It's almost 90% certain that passages like this one, I will like immensely. I'm not sure why, it's just the crazy random normal, imagery that makes it beautiful.
There was a smell of Time in the air tonight. He smiled and turned the fancy in his mind. There was a thought. What did Time smell like? Like dust and clocks and people. And if you wondered what Time sounded like it sounded like water running in a dark cave and voices crying and dirt dropping down upon hollow box lids, and rain. And, going further, what did time look like? Time looked like snow dropping silently into a black room or it looked like a silent film in an ancient theater, one hundred billion faces falling like those New Year balloons, down and down into nothing. That was how Time smelled and looked and sounded. And tonight--Tomás shoved a hand into the wind outside the truck--tonight you could almost touch Time.
