Pushed over the edge

What happens when someone who's always walked the "right" way start to doubt themselves?

What happens when everyone around the person who always walks the "right" path believe too much in them?

Maybe along this path, there is a pit waiting for someone to trip over it. Just so the person can be taught the lesson that there is nothing wrong with a fall. It's okay to dust yourself off and try again. But nobody wants to take the fall. They just walk around the pit, and never get a taste of failure.

Weird...

2006-12-07T00:52:46Z

I don't why.. but I keep on choking on what I'm drinking these days...
is it because I'm not paying attention?

Today at Life Science lecture:

Professor: Humans are designed to be promiscuous, but society doesn't tolerate it...

I think that's kinda funny.

I Think I've Stumbled Upon a New Profession to Substitute for My Pursuit in Science Major

There were times when I woke up from a dream, crying.

But, there was this time that I woke up from a dream, laughing, when my roommates went home for the weekend.
I woke up...
Feeling what-the-heck-just-happened-and-kind-of-dumbfounded and completely forgot what I dreamt about.

Hmm.. I never actually thought anyone would wake up laughing.. and I mean it.. like... hilariously laughing.
-_- I've got problems..

college

2006-11-25T21:10:24Z

Ultimately, I think, college shattered more of my dreams than created or reached, or even potential of achieving them.

There's too much limit on everything. So, how is it that we get to explore during college?

flu shot

2006-11-22T06:30:28Z

I got a flu shot today...

After I got it Amy (my roommate; she was there watching) told me "Whoaaa I didn't know they stick the whole needle in"
hahha yea good thing she dind't say anything when I was getting the shot, because I probably would've freaked out a little.

The needle was at least 1.5 inches long.

My shot-arm is sore..

Why am I so not lucky?

2006-11-18T04:30:48Z

Brad Pitt was here for the premiere of his new movie in Westwood and girls I know from my art class got his autograph.

The international students from Australia and New Zealand on my floor saw Pamela Anderson in Hollywood and took a picture and got her autograph.

The New Zealand guy also saw Adam Sandler in our school gym. He stared at Adam and Adam winked at him. Hahhahah and then he said, "What's up Adam?"

The only "famous" people I see on campus are the athelets.
But GEEEEEEZZZ... I wanna say "What's up?" to Adam too!

First Encounter

2006-11-08T22:13:06Z

I was studying for my chem midterm like crazy all weekend til yesterday and put off all my other stuff just for it. So, I didn't really study for my art midterm, which is today, until last night at 8:30PM with another girl from my class for 2.5 hours.

This never occurred to me that my midterm was going to be DURING my class time because all my other ones were at night, separately.

So, I went to class this morning thinking that I was going to be able to come back and study some more before the exam.

Wow, was I clueless or what. I hate this.

this is love

2006-10-29T03:12:17Z

My mom is a tear jerker.

She knew I was sad and called me like 5 times today. Now, that's love.

Sometimes...

2006-10-20T21:12:17Z

I just don't understand how some people can be the way they are.

Today in Chem lecture I was trying to find a seat in the front; since I always rush there from my Life Science lecture in 10 minutes I don't exactly have a choice on seats, so I sat down next to this cocky-as-hell-think-he's-hella-gangsta-and-thuggish Indian guy (no racism intended).

Randomly I hear him say to the guy next to him,"I just don't associate with ugly people."
I'm thinking,"How ugly are you inside?"
Then during the lecture I sort of glanced at his course reader, on a spacey page he wrote down,"violent pornography" with random drawings around it. Later, when I was packing up, on the back cover of his reader cover he also wrote "Hey kids, you like violence? Wanna see me stick something up both my eyes?"

WOW I don't ever want to sit next to that guy again.

uhm...

2006-10-20T05:16:43Z

I always try my best to remember the people that I meet (name, face), so usually I remember them. But it sucks so much that when you say hi to them and they've already forgotten you.

While doing my chem homework today I spent the longest time looking for Antimony (Sb) on the periodic table. I think it was 10 minutes. For some reason I just couldn't find it.

Why do I lead a sad life?

By the way, if you guys can, listen to "Dancing with the Devil," by Immortal Technique, and listen to it with lyrics if you can't follow it. It's one of the saddest songs I've ever heard.

One can forget, forgive, but the truth must be known.

Oh gosh when am I gonna see famous people on campus

2006-10-15T04:08:28Z

Bill Clinton and Gena Davis were at UCLA yesterday. Angelides was here a few days before that too.
:( I wanted to see them, but didn't get to because I had class!

ooh yea.. my suitemate told me that LC from Laguna Beach goes here. and a bunch of other ppl too, i just don't know them.

BTW, I'm loving the life here. First, I get a lip infection that made me looked like a monster. Second, I'm getting sick because I'm too tired all the time; and this is before my midterms. I just love it..

For my own documentation

2006-10-14T04:39:59Z

This is what I started out college with...

Worse than it seems

it's better now

This doesn't feel very good/normal to me

2006-10-10T18:03:28Z

I totally (maybe not completely) know how Gi feels now.
Both of my roommates are taller than me. I'm the shortest one.

and guess what?

Both of my roommates are older than me. Well, that's a first. I'm no longer known as the oldest, but the other day my roommate called me "mother."

Steph, I sense the term, "mother emily," surfacing soon.

LA weather is tanning me, but...

2006-10-04T01:04:04Z

my white roommate's legs are still tanner than mine.

college life

2006-09-30T21:48:18Z

So I go to my first Life Science1 lecture and my professor tells us, "If you haven't read chapter 1, you're already behind." Great. The only class that I don't get emails from. Aside from that, I studied ahead for my chem class, and I'm still behind. Please, please, please let my Art&Arc10 class be a good/fun class.

I want to double major; MCDBiology and Psychology. HAH, and my counselor tells me that I might have trouble graduating in 4 years, especially if I want to study abroad. YAY.

I'm giving up the free football game (UCLA vs. Stanford) at Rose Bowl to stay in and study. I've never had to do so much catching up on studying in my life. Seriously, teachers aren't very good at MSJ; but I don't blame them, I blame myself for not taking the initiative to learn more on my own.

Please, please, please let my classes get better. I'm having trouble managing time.

I'm LOVING the life. Seriously just LOVING IT.

emun @ 2006-09-27T19:17:00

2006-09-28T02:20:26Z

i officially got my first laugh about saying "hella" and "hecka" by my roommate. both of them are from somewhere around here, i'm the only norcal-ian.

seriously my body's not adjusting too well to LA. I've been having diarrhea since the day i got here and the corner of my lips is blistering up it's disgusting.

anyways today i found out my first test for chem is next friday, and midterm is on steph chiu's birthday. ahhah oh joy. depressing me before classes begin.

i might be getting sick soon too, my throat is really itching.

Moved-In

2006-09-25T06:54:02Z

My dad is the crazy driver on highway-5. We got to LA in 4 hours.
I miss him so much and I stopped myself from crying in the parking lot because so many people where there.

I like my roommates :) they seem really nice. uhmm and my suitemates(next door/share bathroom) are kinda party girls? they told us about sex-ile.

So yea, note to self: don't ever bring this much stuff again. UHM other people had 2 carts, max 3. I had 4. And I got embarrassed when this girl in the elevator said that she saw this guy with 4 or 5 full carts even though we didn't know each other.

Oh yea, my roommate just told me that taking LifeSci1 was for people thta got 5 on their AP Bio Exam and people that took LifeSci2 or 3 already. UHM I didn't even take AP Bio AND I had NEILSON for regular. Should I be scare of all the people that already know how to set the curve?! OH YEAH.

jenny beat me to it/ no one to say goodbye to anymore

2006-09-23T22:15:58Z

Seriously I'm just about the LAST person to leave. Since I don't live in Fremont anymore, there's basically no one to say goodbye to or hang out with for the last time in my last days.

So here is to:

Gi Lee: There's so much to say that I don't know what to say. I'm miss having you over at my house (can't do that anymore:( ) and just do homework and have random talks. I love you and your family for helping me out when my car brakes had a problem. Tell your parents thanks for helping me out and to your mom that she cooks delicious food and I'm gonna come over during vacation to taste her good cooking again :P. You're the dongsaeng that I never had that I just love taking care of. Just want you to know that whenever you want to talk I'm here for you and call me anyyyytime. You know I'm always glad to help if I can. There's lots more that I want to say but it's so mixed up that I don't know what to say, but know that I love and miss you and call/text me! :) <3 and let's have that lunch we never got to have next time ok??? my treat :) ooh yea thanks for taking me with you to SFMOMA, I liked it; and thanks for Starbucks. hehhe and you can return my I'm Sorry I Love You when I see you next time. Until then, you can watch it until your eyes puff up from crying at the sad scenes. Oh yea, Susie probably won't read this, but tell her thanks for the talk that time when I was at your house. By the way, :O I can't believe you told Susie what emun meant, LOL you make me crack up at how stupid/weird I am.

Victor Lee & Family: UHM Where do I begin?!!? All I can say is that I'm gonna miss you like crazy and I'm mad at you that you never visited me in San Ramon. hahah jk. Well I'm moving further away soon (not LA, I mean NorCal) so pooooooo to you. Thanks for being the big pig you are and making me do all that random stuff with you (don't ask me what cuz it's so random that I don't remember.) I'm gonna miss going to your volleyball game you krnpimpballa and cheering even though no one can hear me. Heyy work hard k? I know you are now, but continue and let's motivate each other for med school. Thank your sister for talking to me at church when she sees me, cuz that made me felt like less of a loner. Thank your dad for giving me rides from time to time. Thank your mommy for me for everything...for bringing/cooking me food...for checking my eyes and giving me eyedrops that one time...for taking me to your games...ETC., and that I love her, again even though I'm gonna call her and tell her. Anyways, good luck to the both of us in college and beyond. You will always be my oppa, because you're big not age. heheh :) you can pick me up from airport/bart when I come back. Love to you and your family forever and always for everything. P.S. what do you want for your birthday? :( a little late i know.

Albert Baek: O RLY?? Srsly, you and your feet/toes. Seriously get that infected toe checked out, did the nail grow at all since school ended? hahah k well thanks for giving me rides when I didn't have a car/couldn't drive, I really should've paid for your gas. hahah I'll buy you gas or food or something next time I see you. We can go bowling or ZaZang or something next time and get a bunch of people together. lol you should really find out who's still in the area so you can have your parties when you're home alone. Alright then, I'm gonna miss you and your randomness. Oh, I'll translate that souvenir thing next time if you really want to know. LOL maybe I'll take furby with me. OkOk, work hard, study hard and you'll get to UCB or wherever you really want to go! ahhaha and meet your watermelon best friend there.

Jenny Cho: I find it weird that we can just pick things up right where we left off, but I love it hahah. The most unbelieveable thing, now that I think about it, was that we never had a class together in high school; plus, we basically stopped hanging out together as a group after sophomore year :(. But we'll be life long friends that just pick things right up right? :) I love talking to you! There's something about the way you talk online that makes me feel really loved. I'm sad that we didn't get to go on our lunches like we said we wanted to but we'll just have to catch up on that next time. Oooh, maybe in LA/SB :D. heheh it's okayyy I love giving people rides because I used to hate asking people for rides, so don't feel bad. hahah sorry for ever calling you skinny, I know you hate that. You're perfect the way you are and you look good wearing anything! LOL I won't forget how bad I was at camwhoring that time when we "modeled" for noimi. I loved the make up Susie did for us, but gosh I suck at taking pictures :( I wish I was more photogenic. Anyways, hopefully we'll see each other more BEFORE vacations. I'm gonna miss you <3.

Joyce Ang: Thank you for lending me your shoes ahhah :) I don't even remember how I got to borrow your shoes for winterball that one time in Junior Year since we didn't even relaly talk then. Well, thanks for saving me from my shoe crisis. You're the nicest person everrr and I wish I could be more like you. Thanks for driving all the time to take us out to lunch and giving me rides when I needed one. Hopefully we'll get to visit each other, somehow. I'll take you around near campus area and you can show me around Irvine if I can visit. By the way, you are smart ok?? Don't even deny it. I'll meet you in med school :) I'm gonna miss you, but we'll be each other's motivation no matter how hard it gets!

Nikola Soen: When I was packing for moving from Fremont to San Ramon I saw the notebook that we had when we were in Junior high. hahahah that was the time when we had half of our classes together. ugh mrs lang and her packets of stories, but her tests were always easy. didn't we have hella high grades in that class? lol anyways we never had a class together in high school til ap art. everything was a torture with all the artwork deadlines but it was fun painting the mural and skipping our 6th period classes, even though the mural wasn't how we wanted it. ooh yea you know the two panels that the other people painted for Fremont's 50th? I saw it in the Fremont library and a picture of the people that painted it, none of the other ap art people were in the picture. hahah you know what? When I see Nike shoes it reminds me of you. I'm moving soon again, so I guess we'll meet up next time when we all come back to the area again :).

Laverne Kuo: I have to admitt you are the life of the party/dances. For some reason only you can get me hyped up for those occassions. If you're not there, it's just not the same; that's why the entire chain didn't go to that one dance because you didn't go (see how powerful you are?):). I'm gonna miss you coming over to study and to pick out outfits for me because I don't know what to wear for dances. lol and that one time when I had avacado ice cream and you and Steph were there to eat it with me. -_- and who could forget that eyebrow moving contest we had that same day (Steph was the witness) that if I win you'd go to winterball, but you didn't. We had lots of random moments together. Mattingly's class would not have been the same without you. Thanks for keeping me happy when I was in Taiwan with the emails, cuz no one emails me :( except you.

Steph Chiu: You are right here :) hahah i didn't forget you i just thought that since i already said goodbye that yea.. but OKAYYY I'll give you a shoutout too! It's been relaly really great to know such a girl like you. I must say, each person in our group are unique in their own way. You have hella qualities that I can learn from and I wish we got to talk more. But you're just too cool and popular and everyone wanted a piece of you. I will miss you lots and I will be mad lots if you don't call/visit me if you're in LA! Oh yes, how can I forget, thanks for naming me "Mother Emily." It's becoming quite famous. Even my mom knows it! <3

No one will write/send me stuff but JUST IN CASE that anyone would want to, here's my address:
Emily Chou
310 De Neve Dr, Rieber Vista Rm#754B
Los Angeles, CA 90024

[[edit]]
1. I hate packing. Because I always end up losing the roll of tape and scissors and spend forever searching for it.
2. Moving soon again, which made me realize that I don't have to bring any keys with me to college. How weird is that?

first college book

2006-09-13T01:01:22Z

Okay just for my own record.
: ) I purchased my first college textbook and it arrived today: Life: The Science of Biology

hahha Winnie's totally right about ripping open packages...except I didn't rip them. But I liked opening it.
