I think I ask this question yearly, but I want some more book recommendations! I'm buying the Bartimaeus Trilogy since Saffire recommended it to me some time ago, and I really want to get some more now. :P

Everyone should check out the show 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'.
It's fucking amazing.
Thank you and good night.

So after several attempts of failing at making my mask, and almost giving up on the entire thing (first time using paper mache) I pulled off a nurse from Silent Hill costume! :D
Here's a reference picture:

I started this journal on October 14, 2005, and soooo many things have passed since then: suffering from a horrible depression, my breakup with Fenit, being worried about never going to New York and wondering if I'd ever get into an American college, my family problems (especially with my brother)...etc. But there was also the good stuff: finally going to New York after dreaming about it for years, discovering my passion for writing, getting into college, getting out of my depression, being in love...etc. And while I haven't commented as frequently as some other people, this Livejournal is still a fundamental piece of my life; I look back at some old entries and a flood of memories come rushing back in. I know some people view Livejournal as a silly, pointless thing, but I have discovered a lot about myself in the process, and have also found a lot of people who've helped me and given me advice when I most needed it. And I find that a very special thing, indeed.
To everyone who has read this journal over the years who have supported me on at my lowest, and cheered me on at my highest, and even to the lurkers and friends that never comment, I dedicate this entry to you.
Thank you.

I always feel like absolute shit about it.
Italian exam went excellent. Orgo chem....meh. I don't think I failed, but I made some stupid mistakes on easy things (yay for me messing up on equilibrium - wow...), so we'll see how it goes. I'm going to study even harder for the next one, because I really need my science GPA to go up. Doing well in my English classes, and Taekwondo is always fun (and it's graded so that's even cooler).
Um, Zombieland was fantastic! Go watch it.
Oh, and I finally did one of the things I always dreamed about...wear a kimono! Thank you, Japan night! <3
( KIMONOOOOOO )
I'm also a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity where we help build people homes, the Student Volunteer Group where we do all sorts of activities. Oh and I'm also an Anime club member, heh. I want to join some other club, but I don't know what yet...
So yeah, college update over.

Good luck to all of your exams as well!

A week ago something really weird and disturbing happened to me.
So I was chilling in my dorm with some friends, when we heard this loud commotion coming from outside. We just thought it was some drunk person screaming, until we heard the voice getting louder and louder and then we realized it was some guy who lived in my hallway just two doors down from me. He was yelling about how he hates everybody here, and how awful the hallway smelled, and how his roommate (a friend of mine and who was in the room with me) sucks and doesn't do anything, and he was just bellowing all this while we were all there not knowing what to make of all this.
So, soon after, I had to go to the bathroom and just when I was heading there, he screams, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE HALLWAY?" and when I tell him I just wanted to go to the bathroom, he shouted, "THEN DON'T JUST STAND THERE! GO! YOU'RE GONNA PEE ALL OVER THE FLOOR!" I then told him coolly that I had nothing to do with whatever problem was causing him to act like this, and went to the bathroom.
Once I came back to my room, he was still having his psychotic breakdown and he was still screaming but he was much more incoherent. A friend of his was trying to calm him down, but he came to my room and then screamed at me, "I'M TIRED OF YOU BITCHES!"
I said, "...did you just call me a bitch?"
"YES, YOU BITCH! BITCH! BITCH! BITCH!"
At this point, I almost went nuclear on this idiot if it weren't for the fact that his friend rushed into the room and said that he wasn't acting like himself, and that he had a bad day. Shee dragged him out of the room and left, all the while this guy kept on with his tirade. After I was gone, we all went to complain about him to the Resident Adviser and assured me that if it happens again, he'll be kicked out.
Take in mind that I have never talked to this guy in my life before.
Oh and just now (literally just ten seconds ago), my roommate told me that he was yelling about how he hates us all and wishes we all died a slow, painful death.
Yay for me living next to a lunatic...

...could someone please tell me how to effectively study for Organic Chemistry? I'm looking at my organic chemistry textbook and I think I'm going to have a panic attack. x_X Take in mind, that I DID study during the summer, but I'm not sure if I tackled it correctly.
Suggestions will be loved for ever and ever and ever.....

Okay, so the school board's decision about my brother came out: He was not expelled, but he's suspended from school next week. Also, my parents aren't letting him go to his senior trip (I went to Machu Picchu in 2007), but at least his future isn't affected that severely, like he would've been had he been expelled. I really hope this is a chance for Rodrigo to pull his act together and stop acting like such a goddamn idiot. Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad my brother wasn't expelled; my family would've been torn apart had this happened, but hopefully he can learn something from this.
Only time will tell, I guess...

So today was my first day of classes, and I was rather unhappy because I didn't know what classes to take, and I was switching around a lot. I took my first Italian class, and I was debating hard about taking this or French, and though I think French would be more useful, it would a bit too hard while taking Orgo Chem at the same time. Oh well....
Anyway, I took an English class called 'Television in American Culture' and I never laughed so hard in my life. The professor is, without a doubt, extremely hilarious. For example, when some people were talking, he said, "I want you kids to be just as quiet as a guy masturbating in the back row of a movie theater'". I know some people found him too vulgar, but I almost died laughing. =P
Other than that, I'm finding it strange that I'm feeling guilty for only taking one science class this semester. I know perfectly well that I can major in anything I want and still be in the Pre-Health field, but my parents don't see it like that. Meh.
Buona Notte!

My brother and his friends brought alcohol to school yesterday and it's very likely that they will expel him.
He only had 3 months to graduate.
I...just have no words for this.

I'm going to be taking the 8AM bus, and arriving at fucking 2:30 in the afternoon, and it frustrates me how slow this is...Going from Mineola to Binghamton, usually takes only 3 hours, but now I can expect a 6+ hour journey. Lovely. Yeah, that's my rant for the night.
So I'm still going to be in my old room this semester with my ssame roommate, Liann. I'm really happy that we got along great as roommates because it was terrible living with someone who greatl disliked me (I never truly figured out why) my first semester. I also hope I can raise my rather subpar GPA (3.16) just to prove to myself that I can excel. Yeah, pretty bullshit reason, but I just want to do well overall, and I DO have fun studying, believe it or not. Also, I want to meet new friends and further strengthen the relationships with friends/acquaintances alike.
Okay, really looking forward to my second year as a college student! :)
