Finally Here

My college books are finally here! Well, the ones I ordered through Amazon. I've yet to buy my Japanese text and workbooks as well as a 6th interior design book >_>. I've already leafed through most of my textbooks and decided to keep some of them for myself. 101Things I Learned in Architecture School's first chapter is on drawing lines. That one I'm just going to read and sell it eventually. It's a pretty book though.

I'm so excited for this year! And I'm hoping to pass Calculus with at least a C >_<

Ehhh...I've been putting Japanese off all summer. I think I have a lot to read otherwise I'll be dragging behind during class, never mind the fact that the class is in Japanese!

These two are my favorite books. The blue one is pretty big and heavy and explains how every detail goes. It even has sections on minimum requirements to accommodate wheel-chaired people. The green one explains how everything is drawn and labeled in floor plans as well as elevations.

I need to start sketching. A sketch every day will help me get better. It's supposed to.

From Japan and McDonald's

My friend Haruka Uchida is back in America! She was about three years ago as an exchange student.

She is back until Wednesday and that's upsetting. But the good news is that she will be studying in Colorado for one year. She will  definitely be a lot closer than what she used to be! She even said she might come back to Indy for Christmas!

Last night some friends invited me to hang out with them and Haruka. We went to play pool, and only two in the group really knew what they were doing :/ But it was fun! My only victory was against Haruka, hehe. I had never been to one of those pool places. We paid with quarters! ^__^  I came back home around 2:30 AM. It was great.

Ehhh, I might have someone being too friendly on the side as well. Hope no drama comes from this.

I took pictures, but they're not on my computer. Tisk tisk.

Today was fun at work! I like working there when there's people to laugh with. Fellow employees to share impolite comments about impolite customers. But that's everywhere, for sure.

And I was being teased today: apparently I flirt too much. I guess I just get carried away~! Oh well ^__^ It might work someday, haha.

Loving the Layouts

I'm loving this new layout I have.

I revisited my blogger to read up on posts and decided I was tired of having links on my own layout so I'm using to use the ones blogger has. It's a combination and I think it looks great! Plus, I did it to secretly celebrate my comeback! I think I am ready to keep up with blogger and my Tumblr.

I also think I have another post to follow on where I left off yesterday. Yay! ^__^

Quick shout out to Katie for being here! Thanks!

I Am Sorry

Forgive me, my rather loyal followers (if any exist). I have forgotten all about blogging.

I blame Facebook, really, what else? That's one of the reasons I hate that social site. But I can blog on that later!

I've been trying to become famous, haha. How? No idea. I, along many thousand others, got a Twitter account and decided to ramble on random stuff (don't we all?). I even started designing and making myself different twitter backgrounds. I even tried to design some for friends so that people would ask them where they got it from and they'd come to me. Business, you see. I'm just another college student trying to make a living off this land. But I don't live in a desert. . .

But I forgot my Twitter account also. I mainly use it to follow artists, mainly Shakira and Lady Gaga. And of course, I want to take a short moment to applaud Lady Gaga for hating SB 1070, along with many others. She did it during her concert in Arizona! Isn't that great!? Anyway, back to my abandonment. So next I heard of was Tumblr. I went and got that too. I actually like it, it's just like a mixture of Twitter and a blog. You can "reblog" someone. It's just great and easy to work with. They also have many different Tumblr layouts that you can either get for free or pay for.

I guess I also haven't been writing anything because I simply have nothing to write about. Where do I live? Indiana, also known as Naptown. That's right. We nap up in this mofo. Well, I rather not. I think napping is a waste of time. Seriously. I even think sleeping is a waste of time! If only my eyes could stay open for more than 23 hours! I live a normal life, for lack of a better description. I wake up, eat, work (every other day because I guess I'm not that needed), eat again, and go back to sleep. Again and again. Boring, huh? I'm also trying not to go out as much because I can't afford to be spending money. I need it all for college expenses. I've already spent over $560 on rent, some tuition, and five books (my cheapest book was $2! I spent more on S&H!). I have to pay a little over a thousand before August 10th as well. Thankfully along came SADCO.

Sociedad Amigos de Colombia (Friends of Colombia Society, in English) granted me a $1,600 scholarship. I got my first half this July during a picnic at which they celebrated Colombia's independence. I will obtain my second installment during my second semester after I prove I've kept above a 3.5. I'll do just that.

I think I'll stop here for now, I'll continue tomorrow! Yay for self-promises!

Giveaway!

Polli is doing her second every giveaway! Isn't it great!? A necklace from her home country! I want it!!! ^________^

My Life

I honestly believe my life is too private to be put out there. I wanted a blog. I started one but deleted it because there was too much of me that I wanted to keep some specific parts of my life out of other people. Then I started another one, but what's the purpose of a blog if one is not writing about oneself other than a lucrative purpose? I have no skills yet, not real ones. I don't know, but I am lagging behind some other people. Maybe my blog could be about random relevant topics. Music for sure. And maybe even art.

Camping

This Sunday night all the LUL bros got to go camping. It was such an amazing bonding opportunity. I now feel free to be myself and show who I really am. I know my brothers love me no matter what. They expect a lot from me, I can see that. I just hope I am doing more than what they expect.

I want to keep it private so I will not talk about what we did but it sure was great.

I need to start journaling.
