First Day of School

Hey!

Today is first day of school, and it is awesome!!!

I got up at 8:30am and then left dorm an hour later to Calculus C (15 minutes to walk).

I was totally not happy to be in that course because I am fed up with numbers!!!

Fortunately, that course only last for forty minutes. I got out and ran to my counselor's office.

I explained to her the situation that I am not happy to be in that course and that I want to drop that course.

She said I can since I am going to change my major to psychology anyway.

I spoke with psychology counselor last year that I only need to take two Algebra courses to complete part of psychology requirements, and I already took three Calculus courses!

I immediately ran to computer room to drop Calculus! It is the best thing I could have done during the first day of school! I really feel good about this!

Anyway, I decided to drop all courses I signed up before last school year ended!!

Imagine that!

Fortunately, I managed to find psychology courses that are part of requirements of psychology degree program.

I went from zero credit to 16 credit! 16 credits is perfect for me!

I'm so excited!

However, after signing up for all new courses, I realized it is 11:30am already!

I have half an hour to run to Social Psychology of Religion (you know I'm Jesus Freak! haha) classroom.

Ohhh mann! I love that course! I talked about salvation, abortion, and morals!!! It's sooo interesting course!!

There are at least three atheists, two agnostics, and several who are practicing any kind of religion (Muslim, Buddha, Christian, Catholic, etc).

I taught two interpreters in that course some religion signs as they are not very familiar with religion signs.

My friend wanted me to go to bookstore with him after that religion course, and I went to Barnes and Nobles (which is just opened this fall, and it's soooo nice! It even has Starbucks where I can go there for hot drink during winter!).

I bought bookends and a book that is required for Social Psychology of Religion. It's called Extraordinary Groups =)

Haha...

After buying those things, my friend and I were waiting in front of B&N for the RIT bus to bring us back to campus...

Fortunately, we saw a friend who went to Thailand for six months and he gave us ride back to our dorm. Whoo! I hate bus! Bus always took forever to get us back to dorm because of stupid apartments students need to go.

Anyway, when I returned to my dorm, I realized that I missed a course (Wellness for Life, which is required for all RIT students to graduate with that passed course).

I have a good excuse though! Recalling that I last-minute enroll myself in 5 new courses that I didn't have time to follow the schedule.

It's first week, I am sure teacher will excuse me =D

Anyway, here is the schedule of my academic.



That is not all though!

I still want to run on my own, find time to lead groups for deaf people who have questions about God and Jesus (GIG, group investigate God), have tentative upcoming Hispanic Deaf Club meeting for this academic year, and find meal time.

That's all for today =D

I haven't eat lunch, but I better wait for two hours before dinnertime to save money!

I will talk to you later!

T'care

Move-in

Hello!!

I'm trying to blog so that you guys can be update with my life here at RIT...

I have Facebook, and I use it pretty often...

However, some of you (like old-fashioned 'rents) don't have Facebook...

Anyway, I want to start with the day I flew and moved in...

From my experience on flight during first year at RIT, it was usually looong and unbearable...

It's unbearable because I have skinny butt that it would kill me if I sit too long...

I mean, I'm pretty sure you know I'm skinny, so I do have skinny butt ;-)

Fortunately, this time, from Burbank to JFK (an airport in NYC), it was pretty fast for me...

I bought two magazines before getting on the airplane...

I bought Reader's Digest (I love that magazine since I was young!) and MacWorld (Duh, I love Apple!)...

So, I read both of these magazines and then BAM! I landed!

WOW! It's like two to three hours, but it was actually at least five hours long flight!

I got off the plane, and I found out that I have two hours before getting on another flight from JFK to Rochester...

That's why I love Jetblue because they provide free wireless internet at the airport!

So, I pulled out my Ax (that's the name for my MacBook...yes I'm that crazy) and used it right away...

I was facebooking, emailing, and imming for an hour...

I went to the gate to check if they are going to Rochester, but then I saw the sign said that gate will go to Orlando...

I was like hmmm, okay I better check...

It was long before I was able to speak with a guy at the table...

Unsurprisingly, the gate changed and I didn't know (keep in mind that I'm deaf)...

So, I decide next time, when I get airplane ticket, I will try to remember to set text messaging alerts whenever my flight changed...

Anyway, it was twenty minutes before my flight will take off!

I have to run down the hall and then go on a shuttle to Gate 20...

I ran down with my mom's old carry-on with rollers (I'm so happy that my mum found it a day before I left!!)

Whew...I got on the airplane five minutes before it left!!

However, when it was on the runway, I sat in that airplane for at least 40 minutes before I finally took off...

It was short travel because it took about an hour...

Finally, I arrived at Rochester airport!!! I was so excited!!

Unfortunately, some of people on the airplane took forever to get off...

So, I text some of my friends to see if they can give me ride from the airport to RIT...

Unfortunately, at least four friends of mine cannot give me a ride...what kind friends are they?!

Anyway, I have to take cab by myself for the first time...

It was not fun at all!

I have to communicate with the driver somehow that I need to go to RIT at specific dorm named Sol Huemann...

I managed to have my driver understand where to go with my RIT ID =D

Here I was behind the driver in the cab...

Anyway, I got there and I have RA (Resident Assistant) let me into my dorm since I don't have key with me.

So, here are the pictures of dorm when I first enter...

I soon decided to snap a picture of myself in the mirror so that you can see what I look like when I move in (hahaha, I'm weird huh??)

okay, that's all for today...

Actually, I want to say something...

My back and neck is in pain!!! I think it's cuz of stupid, rock-like bed!!!

I actually jumped and ran to all my friends whenever I saw them...

and then, of course, hugged them!!!

One of my friends (because of our inside joke), I screamed, "DAWWWG!!!" and hugged her like crazy!

hahaha...

For last two days, I've been unpacking and I'm almost done...

I will try to remember to take picture of clean dorm...

So, it's late right now...

Once again, I will try to update this blog website

Have a good night!

Move On

There was a time where I felt like my life wasn't in order just because of "messed-up" friendship...

I was in the middle of a battle between friends where I had to come to make a choice which side I am supposed to support...

Also, it was around the time where I came to the point where I caught a glimpse of hope in the future for my friends (Nevertheless, it was false hope)...

So, I wrote a poem.

It's called Move On...

Move on

October 13, 2007

Tears streak its way down your cheek
Sigh is only thing you could do...
You just witness the powerful destruction
The one that wash violently and torn apart Wash and torn your life away
You stand in mist of your mess of your life
You pause and turn your head to side
You see the most peaceful place ever
You walk and walk
Finally, you reach the most beautiful place
You just sigh and sit
Sit on the grass
By the grass, there is a pond
A pond filled with Japanese fish
Fish swim in joyful by the falling water
Pure, fresh falling water...it's waterfall
Sit there forever...
Forever For-ever
Now grass grows tall and taller
It grows tall until above me
Above me and continue grows
I look up and see beyond the sky
I see something that has awaiting for me
Oh, one longest sigh is only thing I could do
I curl like a cat would curls in comfort
I curl and drift into sleep
Sleep is the only thing that wash pain away
Away for temporary, that is until I wake up
One day...
Alas!
A hand reaches for me...
A hand before my eyes and I wait
I wait for a moment
A moment becomes two minutes
Two minutes turn into 2 hours
2 hours suddenly seem to be an eternal
I reach for it desperately
A hand pulls me out of tall grass
Out of tall grass that choke me
Choke me and my life
Here I am...
Long-lost dreamer
Now, I am move on
Move on with my life
Therefore, I now look for what has awaiting
Awaiting for me...
I knew where to look for
I run and scoop one among the stars
The brightest of all
I have it in my both enclosed hands
I have it close to my heart and embrace
Embrace for a moment before put away
Before put away into leather pouch
Now, I'm ready to live a dream living
That is what awaiting for me...
For me to make a dream comes true

Hello!

Hello,

How you guys are doing with your life so far??

Since I am addicted to computer, I should do something to let you guys get involved in my life a little...

Well, I thought why not share my thoughts and some of my writings with you guys?

So, I chose Blogger as my blog website!

FYI, Blogger was bought by Google and I love Google for its service.

Google has everything, including documents, maps, video!

I am a fan of Google =P

Anyway, I am sure most of you guys are too busy to check my blog to see if there is any new blog and I want to make it easier for you guys.

Ever you heard of Reader or RSS? RSS stands for Really Simple Sync, and Reader means basically something that is readable, you know?

Reader (or RSS) is a website that you can suscribe to anything that is update all the time, and something that is update automically goes to that reader website.

That way you save your time by reading update information from several websites in a place instead of going to several website and check out whether there is anything new.

Let me give you an example, if you want to update yourself with the world and are a fan of sport, you can go to TIME and CNN Sports website and subscribe them to Google Reader.

You can simply go to Google Reader next day to see what's up with the world and sports in a place!

If you want to subscribe to my blog, go all the way to the bottom of this page and click "Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)".

Come back soon to check out my new blog!

I might post a poem that I wrote it a few years ago...

Have a nice day!
