I haven't died
Although, with some of the homework I've got, I may want to :P.
Anyways, I just wanted to let y'all in on what's going on.
Started Swimming, pratices are good, but I'm wondering why I'm not that challenged by it. Perhaps it's next year that I'll be really challenged, or is the challenge just to stay interested in this sport.
School is off to a running start and I feel like I'm running far behind where i should be. English-wise, I'm doing okay. I know that I could make more of an effort.
As for friends, I'm so glad to be back. But I miss, for all their faults and lackings, the other half of my class. Without us whole, there's like something that's missing from campus. hopefully i'll be making new friends and new soka peeps.
Ok, so here's a definition. Soka Peeps = those people who definitely aren't aquaintences, but they aren't friends either. I'm sticking to a rather strict definition of friends and aquaintances. You know they could become your friends with a swith push one way or another, but yet they still remain not-yet-a-friend, and not-really-an-aquaintance.
So many people have changed a lot, and really it's been for the better. I wonder how the other half of the class fared.
Ok, really don't have time any more. I gotta go get to doing gongyo and then down to swim practice. Yay!
I hope you guys are all doing well. Besos.

Some thoughts for a wednesday
Favourite movies, huh? I dunno. I think maybe Mononoke-hime (Princess Mononoke to y'all Angloparlantes). Or Hero (??). And maybe even Amelie. I like a lot of movies, and I rarely find many that I would say more than that. These three are the favourites I have right now. I do have to say on the drama level, One Hour Photo and Crash are also high up on that list, but I don't like them as much as these three movies. Mononoke-hime because the animation is some of the best I have ever seen and the story is very good. Hero is just a good wushu movie overall and since I'm a visual persion, the colours amaze me. Amelie, I really like because of the cute story, the cute boy, and the amazing way the story is told.
I can't think much right now. The pressure has gotten to me. Argh. Em told me today that she really feels like she wants to crawl under a blanket and just stay there for a week, and then when she comes back out, everything's the same. I want that too, but I know that that won't happen.
Sometimes, I don't know why I choose to like the people I do. I just do. I fear that this non-thought-out process for making friends and other interests is perhaps not the best thing I could be doing. This is not in reference to the people I already know, but in reference to the people I may meet in the future. I guess you can't really force people to become your friends. Or maybe you can. I don't know.
Hmmm. I guess my forte is thinking. I don't know what it is about my life that allows me so much time to think, think think think!, yet still I can't get things done. I.e. Capstone at the moment. Perhaps I'm a born thinker, but only in situations that force you to think--kinda like maybe college and high school.
I wonder if I've grown since I've entered here. Can anyone tell me? I think I have, but I wonder how much. I don't always know. I don't always care to see if I have. Sometimes, I'm afraid that maybe even I haven't changed or maybe I've changed so much that I don't realize it. Either way, I'm afraid a bit to self-reflect on that point. I feel like me, but is this me the me of two years ago or have somethings changed? Is change a good thing? has it been bad?
I wonder what it is about myself that brings out the bitchiness?
What do I seek? Who can I trust to understand what I want to get? Who do I trust? Where is my wallet?
I have no money. I'm broke. I just got my paycheck and I'm already broke. Thank you loan corporation for takinga bout 173$ in loan fees. I guess it's not that bad considering how much was loaned to us--it still sucks. Speaking of which, my brothers still have to give me that money they owe me. And I still owe Lei some money.

Happy New Year!
I hope y'all have had a happy new year's day. I have. I have many things yet to do while here at home, but I hope that I can make the best of the last 5 days I have here.
I wish you all a happy and healthy new year and I really mean it.

BCN . Lluvia
Nothing really...just some gossip. C is going out with M. It's so weird sounding. But whatever, I wish them the best. Apparently, they've been going out for a month and pico. So....Not bad I do have 2 say...well comp'd to regular SUA relationships. :P
Nothing new to add.
Did about 3h45 Toso yesterday in the house of C (you know, the guy from Argentina), in Sitges. Feel a lot better about things. Life is good when you do gongyo and chant a lot.
Raining today Nothing much else to add.

Thank you...
you know who you are.
To those who sent me the precious gift of thanksgiving and holiday cards...How sweet!
I really miss y'all and I can't believe that you guys went to all the trouble and work to get me cards for Thanksgiving. I recieved the package yesterday, so I guess it didn't make it in time for Turkey day...but the thought counts yah?
Random thoughts as I was reading the cards>>
I want to meet your boyfriend. He looks scrumptious.
I thought they were stars, not snowflakes.
I could guess every thing but the leafy-looking things. Whichones which?
Why are there so many flaming turkeys? Did something catch on fire at SUA?
Simple is sweet.
I can't read english anymore. It hurts my eyes.
Where are the cards from other people? *Nudge nudge wink wink* David!!!
I miss you guys. I miss american or asian american, or mexican food...or actually anything that has spicyness to it.
You'll all be seeing me soon. In a bit more than a month or so.
Miss y'all a lot.
