my senior year

All the things we've done...

I am so glad I have kept a huge photo album for the past two years. I take pictures for the memories, not for any artistic sense (because I suck lol).

visitors

Matt G. and Sharisse came by today!   I keep forgetting that the college kids are already on vacation.  I was suppose to stay home for the rest of the week because of my mom's check up, but I managed to get out for one hour lol.  Matt let me drive his Civic! I felt so fearless today LOL.  I was pretty reckless too, but we arrived safe and sound.  Merging on the freeway is not so bad anymore.  We picked up Andrew Vu at the Starbucks on Gerber after his job interview.   Then we chilled at Tapioca Express for a bit.   Ahhh I really miss hanging out with the 08ers!

little reunion

Do you remember...
us in the beginning of senior year after we took the SAT?  =)
This place reminds me time we volunteered for Key Club at the Heart Walk.
Yesterday I picked up Seo and Connie (yes I drove!), and we all met up at Matt's house.  We went to Ford's Burger for lunch then went to Downtown Plaza.  We stopped by Temple Cafe (again) before we left.

Sorry for the lack of update.  I have so little motivation to blog about my personal life now.  

the BBQ

The cool people who didn't go on the Disneyland trip yesterday went to Julian's graduation party lol.  The foods were delicious.  Playing air hockey and pool in his sun room was intense.  Hanging out at the park was pretty chilled.  Driving people around in Cherrypie's Acura was cool too lol.

high school no more

The past week was noteworthy, yet I don't have much to comment on.  It hasn't hit me yet--that this is the end.  Everything feels so...normal.

I will miss being late for AP economics everyday, and thankful that Mrs. Collins doesn't mark you absence until after 8AM.  I will miss falling asleep through the long lecture in AP art history.  Even though the study guides and art cards were a pain in the butt, I will miss splitting the tedious work with my group.  I will miss seeing Chhun, Obi, Lor Rachael, and Seo after 2nd period in font of the art department.  I will miss my ceramics group.  I will miss walking with Seo to lunch.  I will miss 5th lunch.  I will miss cleaning up the ceramics/stained glass room with Drake.  I will miss talking to the people in stained glass.  I will miss hearing the clean up song.  I will miss hanging out in front of the library gate after school.  I will miss walking home with Seo.  I will miss going to the parking lot with Tracy (on most Fridays).  I will miss seeing Lena in her car, waiting for traffic to die down.  

graduation weekend

On Thursday, I attended Hong-An's graduation at Sac State. It's a pretty campus. Lots of big trees casting shadow over the streets and pathways--I just love it! We went to Occidental Buffet afterward. I'm not a fan of buffets, and this place is definitely one of the worst.I stayed home on Friday because I didn't go to the senior picnic at Sunsplash. Later that day, I went with Connie and Vancy to the senior goodbye dance. It was quite disappointing. On the brightside, my yearbook from Wal-Mart arrived!

Yesterday, we went to Ryan's graduation at San Jose State and ate out at this Chinese/Muslim restaurant (now you don't see that everyday) called Darda. We had 13 people killing 12 dishes lol. We obviously failed. Afterward, we went to Dave & Busters. That place is huge! We didn't stay there long because we had to attend another graduation at 6.


Phung's graduation from Sac State was at Arco Arena. We arrived right when the graduates exited the stage lol.

Then we went to Khoa's graduation party. That guy took 9 years to do his undergrad =O. I heard he's a pretty smart fella too. I guess he just wanted to take his time. I can't imagine going to school for that long though. Anywyays, Khoa and another guy put on a wedding show for us LOL. It definitely made my night. At the end of the party, we played a fun game of Cranium. I despise party poopers who think they are too cool for board games!

the last Monday

I was supposed to take my third and final driving lesson yesterday, but things came up. To make up for my lack of practice, I drove my brother around all day. We went to Florin for a birthday party, Wal-Mart to look for a bike, Century to check the movie time, Tops Yogurt to kill time, and back to Century. We watched Star Trek, and I really enjoyed it. There was never a dull moment; it was action packed and fast paced. Am I the only one who drools over Spock instead of the main guy? lol

This morning we had a sub in first period because of the Fed field trip to San Francisco. We watched Taken, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a pretty good movie. It reminded me of when I was younger I wanted to become a spy or an assassin lol.

I have more doubts than ever about the future. I feel really alone with the path I have chosen. My parents don't understand, so I basically give up on updating them about my education. If only I could get myself into some kind of medical field, I would have a much better relationship with my parents. "Other people can do it, why can't you?" It's not like I am bad at science; I just can't stand the subject. Sometimes I wish I had a more indifferent attitude: just do whatever as long as I am going somewhere. I just have to be hard-headed and idealistic. I am scared because I still don't know what career I would end up with as an international relation major. I just hope it will be exciting and worthwhile.

I am still looking for a roommate in Davis (just in case). I am pretty sure Puneet will be one of them. If her sister decides to commute, then I am doomed! I will probably resort to putting an ad in the newspaper. Ahh, getting an apartment is such a hassle!

So the end of senior year is approaching (one more week!), and nothing is new. Everything feels so mellow. I don't feel like doing much although I should dedicate more time with my friends.
