First off, Halloween and my birthday both turned out splendidly, even though they both started off on kind of the wrong foot. I keep telling myself, when things suck the only thing you can do is to do something silly and to make yourself happy...The only person who can always turn things around is yourself! Although really good friends and hot pot and lots of cake help too :) Darn, I also almost escaped getting caked this year, but my friends did not share my sentiments. Overall, a pretty fun 2 weeks.
me getting owned. thanks "friends"now the big topic of interest...CSA RETREAT. The week or two before retreat were CRAZY. Meetings every couple days that ranged from 2 hours to all night, there was so much to do. In the end though, I think it was all worth it. I didn't go last year and I planned this one so I have no objective view of retreats, but I think this one was amazing. Yes, I got like 7 hours of sleep for a total of 4 days. Yes, it was very violent and everybody came out sick, injured, and sore in some way (steal the bacon, mini tanks, ultimate ninja, etc). Yes, I got pied (AGAIN) and I lost my voice (2 separate events). But it was AWESOME. I was slightly hysterical and prone to bursting out in tears by the last night (thanks to J for smacking me in the face), but the last day was amazing too :) I also found my new favorite game...ULTIMATE NINJA. Seriously, we played for my 5 hours straight, and now it hurts to walk up stairs. YAY. To everybody who came, I hope you enjoyed it and I'm glad you were there! Sleeping last night never felt so good...I was out from 7 PM to 12 PM today, and I almost missed my first class haha. WHOOPS.
Even though I can feel the evil tendrils of sophomore slump attempting to attach its suckers to me, I'm trying really hard to fight them off. Things have been so crazy and busy and also ridiculously fun this year, only thing you CAN do is fight to keep your head above the water. However, the semester is more than half over and there's nothing left to do but ride out the rest of the semester and study for finals. :) I am really excited for Thanksgiving though..I miss home a lot!! Can't wait to eat legit mexican fooooood and all my favorite places again. NOM NOM NOM.
Speaking of next semester, I think I am going to be taking Stats, Theology, Japanese, the Asian American Experience and Psychology of Gender. I am so ridiculously excited for the Asian American Experience class...People keep saying it was the best class they have ever taken and that it changed their lives. Hopefully I can get in though, the class fills up really fast since it's so popular.
Sometimes, I love the way life always works itself out. :)
