I WANT TO DRAW DAMMIT.
I miss drawing.

Draw painting.
And sewing.
draw painting sewing ):

tired of the same old empty

LOL so my schedule is too TWISTED. I think I’ve settled down some now though but for a while uncertainty reigned over classes!!!!

Mathematical Econ – NIGHTMARE – it’s like…an alien language. Or worse. The professor was chatting so animatedly about so and so equation and so and so equation and other weird symbols like an ALIEN LANGUAGE. So I dropped it and added 178 Financial Forecasting, and then dropped that to take 104….and I’m going to stick to that now… except midterm right after vibe ): boo hoo. At least the final will be a paper.

I stole Naruto into my class to so win-win!!! (if you’re reading it…then yes I think we’re destined to always have classes together”)

FUSION IS COMING! FUSION IS COMING! FUSION IS COMING!
And I’m already feeling it. Watch your step.

Waking up from this winter break relaxedness (sort of) I’ve wanted to fall into step with but is barely beginning to when it’s all ending! That’s not even really a sentence really ):! I have a lot of dreams, dreads, and drugs for the new year. Just kidding about the drugs…hopefully. With everything rushing closer, I’m afraid I might be moving unexplicably fast, only to have everything look like it’s going backwards when really it’s just me needing to slow the freak down.

Planned out my skeleton for next quarter.
Up at 7:30am at the very latest, fiber bar + juice
Jog at park/do the exercise from 8am-9am on mon, wed-fri, 7:30am-8:30am on tues
Go to class 11am – 3:30pm roughly, except fridays end at 12pm, catching lunch in between
Swim after class on mondays, wednesdays, and fridays if possible (meaning no masa/fusion fun business)
Study. Seriously. Until sleeptime. COME HERE 4.0 COME HITHER D:
FUSION on the weekends and weekdays now to think of it.
Church on sundays.

oh yeah. MINUS THE MEAT this quarter for shizzles.
Drink more milk (for protein! to burn fat and build muscle)

somewhere along there make Lisa’s way belated birthday dress…. ;_; so horrible of me, photoshoot with the darling Sui. Figure out a second major and then argue its usefulness to my dad before he withdraws me from UCSD at the end of this year. Find a job?

invent an intercosmictransformanial machine so I can have more time.

wish me luck on a new quarter

OMG I totally forgot to girlgushblog about finally talking to that cute guy I halfcrushed on all of second year (the aparties knowww) too bad the conversation ENDED all thanks to a certain tutor. waaaahahhahaha

So I was bored. And I jacked Jellie’s (thanks!) tablet for winter break annnnd this is all I drew….in like ten minutes….and then got bored … I think I’m so ADD sometimes…

POETRY?!

The void that coils around our very life pulse
shattering the calm between reality and what could be
is waiting at the end to sicken
to consume
to fragment
a life so daintily built on the strength of distant promises.
When you fall
you
fall
painfully
deep
into an absence of love…

DON’T MAKE ME GRADUATE NOW! PLEASE DON’T MAKE ME GRADUATE THIS YEAR!!!
Dang…gotta cut back on the food, for seriously.
FEELINGS OF like, so foolish. So very foolish.
I miss my cows. They’re chillin in SD.
FUSION IS… *** **** *** **** *** **** ****** ** ** ** **! ? o(.M.)o wiggle.
what is the meaning of life when all there is is empty?

Among other things…

Finished my internshippppp (:!

FINALS SUCK.

FUSION POWER!

kay that is all.

Hi,

First of all, you want to increase the tuition by 32%. THIRTY TWO PERCENT. Because it’s not like some people are struggling to pay those bills but what do you care, you just want more money. What is this bullshit in your commentary “having less classes available means students have to stay longer and it would be more expensive than raising tuition blah blah blah”. Do you really think we’re stupid enough to believe that you’ll give us the classes we want if we give you more money? You’ll probably squander it right under our noses. You know what you need to do instead of raising tuition fees? You should cut the stupid stuff.

1)Like oh I don’t know, hiring those professors are only there for research and that can’t teach for crap. How dare you talk about preserving thequality of the campus. How dare you. If you REALLY cared about the education you’d get people who can actually teach. Because that’s what we’re paying for. You’re wasting my time and my money and you know what? Time is Money so you’re wasting double the money. Other stupid things?

2)The faculty Club… that thing must take BANK to run. All that delicious gorgeous all you can eat gourmet food? I wonder if students are paying for that even though we don’t get access to it unless we tag along with a professor. Oh. We do.

3)Stop building stupid shit. The Village? Seriously? You’re going to tell us that the new campus housing for 3rd years and 4 years helps US? WHY do you think all the hundreds of apartment complexes with MUCH CHEAPER rent cannot accomodate students living needs? By the way, no one takes pride in the beauty of our campus if it’s making us pay out of our ass to be a part of it. The administration loves to screw students over repeatedly.

4) Don’t make me laugh about the “amazing financial aid system” at UCSD. You say that as if students won’t have to pay interest on loans. You say that as if all the other students’ raised tuition fees isn’t a blow to them.

Don’t think we don’t hear the media. Don’t think we don’t EXPERIENCE the failures of administration over and over again. You commented on how only 18,000 students came out to protest. Well you know what, that’s 18,000 people who saw your faults and pointed you out. That 18,000 people is representing thousands more.

You talk as if the economic crisis doesn’t affect students’ wallets or their parents’ wallet. You talk as if only the university is seriously taking a hit but that students can somehow bounce back up and pay an extra 32% of tuition while the university cannot. You talk as if you have always chosen to allocate money in the correct fashion. You talk as if you understand our situation. But you know what? You don’t. And you know what else? Nobody thinks you actually try, because you don’t.

Lastly, you say you don’t want to be mediocre. The only way we can be mediocre is to take only the students who are willing to pay an arm and leg for an education at a public institution.
“Students with family incomes under $60,000 won’t pay a penny”, what is this bullshit? So what about those with $61,000? Or $63,000? I have three sisters. Next year Three of us will be in college. Is that alright with you? That our family income is higher than $60,000 but that’s how much we’re going to be paying for a year’s worth of education expenses?

If you end up increasing fees all I can say is, thanks UCSD. Thanks again for screwing us over.

I can’t wait to graduate.

It’s a new year!

New friends, new classes, new internship, new opportunities! God as my constant and deeper everlasting friendships is what I’m focusing on too! I want to be perfectly in-balance and I hope I don’t find any relationship-drama, friend-drama, drams drams, that will UN-balance this balanced life, which means I definitely WILL find that (because fate is cruel and ironic) in my life. Lucky I scheduled those factors in. I like my schedule (I leave room for spontaneity of course otherwise how BORING would that be).

That being said…lots of uncertainties, lots of fears, lots of questions still lingering but I suppose that could come later.

I don’t want to buy econ books ;_; mucho expensivissimo

Things That I Forgot To Say About Taiwan:

#1. The First Meeting with Erica: It was the day before the typhoon officially hit Taiwan. It was already raining and wind was blowing like crazy. Erica and I were going to meet up to hang out. When we saw each other: Clutching at her umbrella, Erica looks at my feet, “KATHY WHAT ARE DOING WEARING THOSE SHOES?!” (I was wearing my black 1 inch heels). I look at her feet and shoot back, “I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU!” (She’s wearing flip flops). It’s pouring. It’s borderline typhooning. Obviously we need to work on shoe selection for different weather types.

#2. Cheap things: Only exist on the streets. Department stores? No can do. I think the cheapest thing I saw in there was this tiny half-inch clip for $20 USD (oh HELLS naw). No bueno. So you know how we have malls that are wide? Well Taiwan is this tiny little island country, so they build up. And Sogo with its 13+ floors, it’s easier to amuse yourself on the escalators than trying to convert several K of NT into USD before you realize you really can’t afford it. Everytime I type USD I type UCSD and have to go back and change it. That’s how much I miss you SD guys LOL.

#3. Taiwan is really into little lolita hats. They cost around $15-50. It’s the type you clip to the top of your head and look all cute like. Yes I tried it. No I did not buy it. They also have clip on cat ears and clip on bunny ears. They like clips. How is that different from the US? No idea.

#4. Whiskey doesn’t hit you until later. Eight shots of it at least. Also, beer before liquor makes you sicker, just ask Kelvin. Peach Japanese beer (Sapporo?) is delicious. Can’t taste the beer, tastes like soda. Downside? Drinking that isn’t going to get anyone’s buzz on.

#5. [JENNY THIS EXPLAINS THAT PICTURE ON FACEBOOK] Erica, Kelvin, and I went to eat this thing where they cook a egg pancake in front of you. Unfortunately none of us had ever gone to eat this sort of thing and we didn’t know how it worked. The guy put the mixture on the hotplate before us and left. After a long time we wondered if we were supposed to flip it ourselves. So, well… we flipped it, only to discover that was HIS job. Oops our bad. When he came back to our table he found it flipped already. We looked embarassed as he reassured us it was ok. After he left again for a long while, we felt it was fully cooked so we cut the three pancakes into thirds, leaving us nine pieces. The guy came back again. Apparently he was supposed to put toppings and such. We made it harder for him because instead of preparing 3 pieces, he ended up trying to prepare 9. LOL fail.

tell you more as I remember!

Going Home.
