First Week of School

My classes this semester is pretty good. I have Math on Saturday morning with an old man as my teacher. I have this class with Trang and Ton. It'll be almost like high school again, only we meet once a week on a non-regular school day. LOL! And then on MWF I have Basic Vietnamese at 11 and the class is like a small group of people and we're all Vietnamese and all of us have the same last name: Nguyen! Isn't that cool?! I know i'm kinda cheating for being in that course but I rather perfect my language than learning a new language and suck at it. On Tusedays and Thursdays I have Intro to Short Story and Novel by myself and an old lady teaches it. Than I have Music Appreciation at 3 with Ton and a new friend named Kieu. I also got aqquanited with a guy named Carlos. He sat next to me and he was very talkative. More Than Me! And we had a whole conversation before class started and The Thing Was: we never met each other before! I guess he's a people person and socially interacts alot because he's in a fraternity. Half the time I was just smiling and Ton sat next to me probably laughing his ass off and made fun of me. But it was okay generally, except on Tuesday. It was hot and I sweat alot! Especially standing in line in the bookstore!

New Look

I changed the color because i got bored with the pink and burgundy one. It was nice, but sometimes change is good. It makes me feel better and that's the reason why I changed it. It gives me a new and brighter feeling. That's what i need right now, because I'm starting school tomorrow! I want to have a good and fresh start and be ready for some learning. BUT than again, as exciting as I made it sound, it's back to the routine of sitting in class for a long time talking about one subject. It's dreadful sometimes but we'll get used to it right? We all have to. It's part of a students life. *Back To School* On with the counting down the time until you get out of class and the holidays you look forward to in the semester. Like Labor Day! That's the first one! Even though it's a one day break from school, it's still something people look forward to. For me, It's a shopping day! Usually they have sales on Labor Day, so I'll have fun. Need to save up for it though.

How are you Van?

Life has been good lately can't complain. I'm starting school on Saturday and I have two classes with Ton. What a coincidence huh? It's good to have classes with a friend because you'll have someone to talk to and study with. Since i'm taking easy classes i'll be working during school this semster. Work has been like normal. Even though alot of people quit just recently but, it'll be okay because the old people are still there anyway. On family: we hit some bad lucks, but we're getting through it fine. Also, My brother got a new G35, two door, bright red Infiniti! We're so happy for him. I'll be working on my car next! On my life with love? There was something going on but I don't want to think about it because it's very complicated right now. It's very difficult for me to handle when it comes to relationships. So, it was stopped before it gotten any further. On myself: There's something wrong with me lately. There's something missing in my life that changed my attitude. It's hard for me to smile now. It' s like when i smile i don't feel the happiness anymore. I may be smiling on the outside, but there's nothing much going on inside. I think my smiling days are going away and fading. i'm getting older and grumpier! Is it because of work? Or am i missing something in my life that was there before and now i've lost it? On Faith/God I've been praying more lately because of the things that have been going on in my life. I'm so grateful that God blessed me, my family, and friends. My dad's boat got broken twice and i'm glad everyone was safe and he got it fixed. My friend got into two car life threatening incidents but was unharmed. And I myself needed strength to go through tough times with my sister.

There have been ups and downs in my life and i guess i'll be looking forward for more. I feel as if i'm living just to be alive. i wish there was 'more to life' then what it is right now for me. But then again i have to be careful of what i wish for. Like i said, Can't Complain.

Moving right along

i have realized things about myself during the passed month. I always have habits of thinking about him alot and dreaming about him and having him in my mind the first thing in the morning. It takes some time to get pass it. I dunt look for him on the streets by his grandma house or at the store anymore. Nor do I try to see where he sits on Sunday at Mass. I dunt drive on his street unless i have to and i dunt IM him up anymore. I guess my life goes on with or without him in my heart. But i still have the habit on looking at his personal page. As of Now, there' s no one i feel for. I feel dead because i have no feelings to keep me looking forward to a new day. I feel like i'm just living just to be alive. But what's more drastic is that, it's hard for me to smile now. I dunt feel the happiness anymore, because i know my smile won't make him happy. It'll just be a smile on the outside, but nothing much on the inside, and i'm not used to that. Most of the time when i smile, I think about him because he told me that he likes my smile and it makes him smile and i like his too.

Nice Weather

Huirricane Charley did a bad one on Florida, But it gave us nice weather.

Today was the Friday the 13th. Anything bad happened? Not Really. I prayed so hard that everything will be good today and it was. Thao-vi had a good day back to school. My sister had a good day. Only thing was that, today Casnet had an Emrgency. We had to call 911 today. It was my first time going through a situation like this at work. It wasn't bad. Just kinda different. A customer came in and all of a sudden he fell down and had a seizure. We call 911 and an ambulance came and got him. Other than that, I stink and feet hurts and i have to go back tomorrow for one more full day of work.

How's everything so far? Well, I did something insanely crazy and my sister got mad, but everything turned out okay. I felt so guilty of the mistake and i was stressed out because of it these last two days. and today was the day to find out if everything was alright. And Thank God It was! Whew! I couldn't stand the deep trouble i would be in if everything went out bad.

And today i watched the ceremony for the Olympics. This is such a great event. I'm rooting for Carly Patterson, she's from Louisiana and I heard she was a threat to win the gold medal! Go Carly!

Just got back home

This weekend was fun. We came there and saw our condo, it was tyte! It was right there on the beach and everything! We unpacked and ate then went right out to the water. It was fun! and at night we went to catch little white crabs and tried to dig up sand to find hermit crabs, but had no luck. then we got Pizzas and watched DVD's -Timeline and Chasing Liberty. Than the next day (saturday) we went water sking, but it didn't last long, the waters were to rough and we have to come back for a raincheck. we went back to our condo and then the beach was off limits (red Flag), due to the rough waters, and no one could go in the water. But it was okay, we went into the pool instead and my aunts and cousins came out and chilled with us and we had a BBQ. Boy did my aunts and cousins killed the food! On Sunday we went to church. It was a pretty church. Then we went shopping around there and saw interesting things there. Did i mention, this week is Bushwackers festival at pcola? It was full of people! The waters were still rough so we just walked on the beach and watched the surfers and I took a nap and then went for a swim in the pool. At night we went to Hershey's Ice Cream, and had root beers and ice cream. Monday, we packed to check out and then went to Foley to the outlet mall and did some shopping before heading back home. Came home and now's it 'back to life, back to reality'.



Oh yeah, Thao-vi and Nhan went fishing every morning, and Thao-vi caught a fish! Congradulations Girlie!

Pensacola, Here I Come!

The week was going fine, but something happened around mid-week and i'm always pacing and thinking too much. Getting ready for school is already getting me worried and trying to fit everything in schedule was hard. Also, planning and preparing for this trip kept me busy and now i'm so excitied and can't go to bed. Well, just hopefuly this weekend will be relaxing and help me reflect on things a bit.

By the way, Me and my sisters are going to Pensacola and staying at a condo for the weekend. I'll be back Monday and getting ready for classes. Which is August 21st! Yeah, It's a Saturday. I got Saturday classes. Bummer right? Oh wells, after this semster, things will get better.
