Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

So, I am exhausted from last night because I was up till around 4am because I was helping out with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition because they are here! In Pensacola! :)
So, I went there around 10pm last night and was all ready to help out, but of course it was the first night so of course there's not much for a simple college student like me to do. So Chelsea, Becca, and me just hung out there for awhile and amused ourselves with random stuff. We so needed a camera on us haha. We're funny. But yeah, just being there was uber cool. I can't wait to really start helping out with the house. My friend told me to be a camera whore when the tv cameras are around. Oh...my friends...I will not be a camera whore and get kicked off the set. No thank you.
I'm kind of stressed about this week actually even though I have no reason to be because I only really have only one thing to do for homework which won't take horribly long once I get started on it. I hope I don't get much more homework tomorrow that's due on Monday because that would kind of suck. A lot.
So random comment: I'm wearing the ring I got in Greece that I love and I plan on wearing it tomorrow to classes.
Another random comment: My nails are bright green. Yay bright green nail polish. :D
I don't think I have too much else to say for now. Bye for now!

It's been a year

So, it's been over a year since I've blogged. I kind of just lost interest of it and became really busy and just never thought about blogging, but maybe I'll start up again. Anyways, I'm in college now. And college's pretty cool. I feel like it's a lot like high school still in some aspects. Your high school teachers told you how much more difficult and how much different college is from high school and just how big of a change going to college is overall. It wasn't too big of a change for me really. I was slightly overwhelmed with the workload at first, but I'm used to it now and it's not really difficult.
My biggest fear going into college was about my roommate. Normally, I do get along with people just fine, but I don't know. I just was so nervous about my roommate because I would be living with her for a whole school year, but my roommate is not a problem at all. We became friends like instantly. Through her I met some other people too who are cool and also now my friends too.
My life right now is going ok I guess. I'm just slightly stressed, but counting down the days that I go home again which is next weekend and I'm really excited. I already have a lot of plans for when I'm back in town. I'm going to be so busy, but at least I'll have my car and know where I'm going and all that stuff. Speaking of plans, one of my plans is to go clubbing for the first time with one of my friends and I'm really excited because I've been wanting to go clubbing for awhile and now I'm finally getting an opportunity to go. I'm trying to get Katelyn to go, but she's only going if Sharlene comes who probably won't because it's Sharlene and she's really not into that, but I really want her to come too because she needs to come for the experience and it'll be more fun with her! Katelyn says that she has nothing to wear to a place like the club, but I told her not to worry and that I'll take care of it and help her out with. You doubt my skills Katelyn! I can work with pretty much any wardrobe! And I know I can work with your wardrobe!
I find it really funny that I have such a big social life when I come home to visit and I'm like always busy and don't get much time to chill and hang out with my parents. I think I'm going to have even less time to hang out with my parents this time than last time I visited which I don't like, but I'll just deal with it.
So, I started going to yoga classes here and I love yoga by the way and I love the instructor that I go to. He's really cool. And he's kind of cute too! :) Anyways, yesterday I was really excited to go to yoga because this week was really busy and stressful and I really needed to relax and kind of detox from this week, but when I walked into the room there was a different instructor there and I was all confused and like "huh?" until he said that he was the sub for this week and I was like "aww sad, but ok. I guess I'll still be able to relax." Yeah, that was so not the case! He was really intense and it was almost like I was in a yoga for experts class instead of intermediate yoga. So after yoga, I was walking back to my dorm and I started complaining to my roomie who came to yoga with me once, but hasn't been able to come again yet about how the sub instructor was awful and then I walked past the instructor that usually does the class that I like and I was like "what!? you loser!" (in my head of course) and got even more mad. Bascially, he better be there when I go again.
Well. I guess this can be the end of this post because I don't know what else to say now. Well, that's kind of a lie because I could go on about other things still, but I feel like this post is really long already so...bye!

Life

So, I didn't realize that it has been a little over a month since my last post.
School started...well, we're going into our third week of school on Tuesday. My schedule is amazing. I pretty much don't use my brain very much in the afternoon. I have my academic classes all in a row(with a class in between my two APs) and then I'm an aide in the IRC with one of my friends and then there's lunch then Drama 2 then Externship(which I only go to on Wednesday's now!)
I auditioned for the fall play. I didn't get cast. Well, I didn't even get a callback, but I'm perfectly ok with that. I'm a techie! I'm on the props crew so that's going to be awesome! The play is Any Number Can Die. It's a murder mystery set in the 20s. Its going to be amazing. I loved the play when I read it. I'm so excited for it!
I am so excited for being such a drama kid this year. I'm not only taking Drama 2, but I'm a techie for the play and then I'm doing my externship at Tallahassee Little Theatre. I'm going to be such a drama kid in the afternoon starting this week. Seriously, after lunch, all I have to think about is theatre. I mean, I'm going to be really busy, but it'll be fine.
So exciting!! I FINALLY got my braces off on Monday! I love not having my braces. It's so nice. And it was about time that I got them off. Its been almost three years that I had them on.
I have so much to do, but right now I'm just going to go relax.

EUROPE!!!

So, as many of my friends know I have wanted to go to Europe ever since I was little and I finally went!! And it was AMAZING!!! I mean, the whole trip is kind of a blur because I did so much everyday, but it was an amazing experience and I am so happy that I got to go. I have over 500 pictures and a few videos of some stuff. I've tried uploading pictures onto Facebook THREE times and it still won't upload them. Its frustrating. OK, I'm starting this post again and I currently have almost 200 of my pictures up!
I barely remember the first and second day because I was so tired, but so was everyone and because they were bascially meshed together because we arrived in Rome at 8:30am and got our luggage and then started touring Rome. The very first thing we toured in Rome was the Colloseum which was amazing! I've always wanted to go to the Colloseum ever since I was little and I'm so happy I finally got to see it. We also toured the Roman Forum on the first day and I seriously just took pictures of it so I would remember it. I was beyond tired when we were walking in the Roman Forum. Surprisingly, I do remember some of the information our tour guide told us.
The next day we went to Vatican City and that should have meant more to me since I'm Catholic, but I seriously enjoyed it a lot because of all the beautiful sculptures and art in the galleries and museums we walked in. And then, we walked into the Sistine Chapel. I've wanted to go there for so long and I finally got to. I wished I could have stayed in there longer. It was just breathtaking. When we were leaving, since there were so many people in the Sistine Chapel, my delegation held onto one another, we were bascially a force that couldn't be broken until it was broken when a tour guide got in my way and made me let go of the person if front of me. Then I experienced being yelled at in some language that I had no clue what it was...it wasn't Italian, it wasn't Spanish, it definitely wasn't French, and it most most definitely wasn't Chinese or Korean or Japanese. This tour guide was crazy. And then I got to walk with this tour guide's group which I might add was full of old, very slow walking people. I was very annoyed. I mean, I found my delegation soon after, but still. -anger-
Wow, this is hard for me to remember the highlights of the trip. Actually, my advice is to just look at the pictures I have on Facebook. The last thing I want to talk about is when we went to Olympia and then the Acropolis.
About Olympia, that was awesome. I totally ran in the stadium! Woo! I really wanted to walk around Olympia longer, but we didn't get too much time to walk around which was sad, but I still got plenty of pictures.
About the Acropolis. When you're walking near to it, it looks like some hike up a mountain that's going to be dreadful, but then its not horrible at all. In my mind I was thinking, "This is going to be like walking up Mt. Etna for the third time." (we walked up 8,000 of the 11,000 high mountain and then we had to walk up another mountain when we were in Greece to see the cave where Zeus was born) Oh yeah, the second time we walked up a mountain, I might add I was in my tight denim mini-skirt(wearing leggings) and wearing my brown flats that my mother wants to burn because they're really worn out. Let me add, I was wearing that same exact thing when we walked up to the Acropolis. So if anyone asks me, "whats the most extreme thing you've done in a miniskirt?", I can gladly say "walked up a mountain in Greece." Anywho, the Acropolis was amazing. I loved, loved, loved seeing the Parthenon!! I've wanted to see that place for awhile! We saw the Acropolis on the last day. That was the perfect end to the trip.
When I got back to Tallahassee and was at the airport, the minute I saw my parents I started crying. I couldn't help it. And then I hugged so many people before I left, but there was a certain person I didn't get to say goodbye to that I really wanted to say bye to...oh well. I'll see him at the renuion party and besides that we've been talking. Anywho, I have all the pictures I wanted to put up on Facebook up, but I still need to upload some videos. One word for Italy and Greece. AMAZING.

Summer!

Ok, so I usually I'm really really happy that its summer, but this year, I'm not as happy and excited as I usually would be because this is the last summer I'm going to have while being in high school. I'm not going to lie, but it scares me that I'm going to be a senior, I'm going into my LAST year of high school. I mean, yes, I'm happy I'm going to finally be in the top class, the class that everyone looks up to, but still. Its scary to me.
Its only been summer break for a week and I'm already into my summer schedule. Stay up past midnight...sometimes as late as 3am, sleep in till at least 10:30am the next morning. Its usually been around 11am-11:30am. I've only slept in till 12:30pm once this summer so far. Now, having that awesome stereotypical teenage schedule is awesome, but I can't totally adapt to it totally yet because in a week and a few hours I'm going to Europe. Greece, Italy, and Sicily to be exact. And I'll be gone for three weeks. As sad or as hurtful as it is, I really don't think I'm going to miss my family as much as I'll miss my friends. I'm finally going to Europe and I've been waiting bascially my whole life. Ever since I was little, I've been fascinated with Europe and all the countries and cultures that are over there waiting for me to experience.
I don't think its totally hit me yet that in a week bascially I'm going to Europe for the first time in my life. That in a week I'll be in a totally new enviroment and surrounded by people speaking in different languages that I can hardly understand. Now, I'll be able to understand the Italian a little more because of knowing a little Spanish and some French, but of course, I'll most likely be lost.
My parents finally got a 2009 Honda Civic today. They've been talking about it for about a month now and finally got it today. They were going to get a blue one, but instead they got a red one and I like it just the same. It stands out a little more. But of course, its not for me, its for my mom, but driving it is on my list of things to do before I go to Europe. Especially after sitting in the driver's seat first thing when my parents told me to go look in the garage(where its currently parked looking pretty). I also gained a little obsession with Honda Civics after my dad told me he was thinking about getting a honda civic for my mom and possibly one for me(but obviously that didnt work out...) Whatever, I think I'll be able to talk to my mom enough to let me borrow every once in awhile. Its awesome. It totally made my day and I want to drive it so badly!! That was literally my first thought when I saw it (ok, second thought...first thought was yay! its so pretty!).
Back to talking about Europe. I sat for like a half hour making lists of things I need to get before I go and what I need to make sure I take. I know it sounds boring, but my mind doesn't feel so overwhelmed with thoughts now. I don't think my summer's really going to start until I'm on the plane to Athens, Greece.
So, I have this obsession with Asians. Mainly hot asian celebrities. And especially the boy band, Fahrenheit or Fei Lun Hai. And out of the four of the members, I have two favorites. Wu Chun and Aaron Yan. And my friend Diana, who is Asian, got me started with my Asian obsession and because its got kinda out of control a little, I think I'm going to have withdrawals from talking to her multiple times a day and just obsessing over Fahrenheit. Oh yeah, the other night, Diana and me figured out which members of the band we're most like. I'm most like Aaron(he's mostly always happy or he's moody...he's the youngest out of the band btw). And then Diana is most like Calvin(its scary how much her personality is like him). Besides obsessing over Fahrenheit, Diana has actually let me watch two Asian dramas: Hana Kimi(which I loved, loved, loved!!!) and I'm currently and over halfway through watching Devil Beside You(and its really really really good too!!). And then she said that she might have an Aaron drama waiting for me when I come back from Europe. I'm also going to her house tomorrow for our own personal "freak-out session". I've only spazzed on her through the internet and phone. If you know me well enough, you know its just a part of me to obsess over things. I'm always have a main obsession going on and then other little obsessions on the side.
Diana is calling me crazy now too. About a half hour ago I went onto dictionary.com and defined the words "crazy" and "obsess" for her to see that there is a difference in the words.
Ok, done ranting about my obsession. I wonder what Diana's reaction to me blogging about my asian obsession will be like. I better go and be productive...
Until next time...which will probably be right before I go off to Europe or after I go.
