still settling..

hihi i'm one week into school and i've had a crazy two weeks here.. been just such a crazy first week at school...

as a summary, i've had 2 assigments due in the first week and built a water balloon launcher in two days.. which class makes to BUILD a first project in two days??!!??!!

ok but i must admit it was kinda fun building it and 310 is really a great place to meet ppl and make new frens.. =) its cos of 310 that i found out about church, cell groups on campus, viennese ball opening committee auditions, and this salsa group on campus and when the salsa party and auditions are..

its kinda comforting to know that my ME classmates can afford to have a life outside ME, so that mean i can too! heh. will prob try to go for a ocuple tryouts and stuff but haf no idea if i can get in since i'm still recovering and i haevn't danced in AGES. esp salsa.. but oh wells. i'll try for fun.. and hope i can do some dancing to keep me sane..

am working on homework now for a controls class. i was the only one in office hours today.. =s which only mean either of two things-- 1) everyone else is super smart and knows how to do the homework.. 2) no one else has started on the homework.. so hm... i'm kinda demoralized..

oh yes and i got a new bike. i have to bike to class. =S another thing i'm not used to.. def wakes me up i guess when u have to exercise in order to get to class.. and my bike lock cost half as much as my bike itself. bleah.

and i need a brighter lamp in my room.. the light is so yellow. and it doesn't help when i'm trying to study.. maybe i'll make a second trip to ikea.. my study lamp from the first trip isn't quite enough.. need a bedside lamp too.. =P

sigh it seems like these few weeks is like major change time period for my whole family.. jie has to adjust to moving away, and mommie and daddie have to adjust to both of us being away... i guess its a hard time for everyone now huh.. shd just count my blessings.. like having jem come visit me on weekends to distract me from my misery and demoralization..and jie emailing me to tell me its not unusual to feel demoralized..

and although i'm all e way here, i feel really sad that she's leaving home.. as in.. not that i'm there or anything.. but it feels like everything will never be the same again. =( i bet mommy and daddy will miss her and their only grandaughters too.. -i- will at least and they prob will even more... and well.. everything's just so saddening.. bleah. i'm emo now too. sorry.

things are just so unsettled, and so unsettling now....
