Classes have been good so far this week, but I can tell that they are going to be painful. 2 1/2 more years, I think I can take it. Although the thought of taking classes during the summer makes me want to hurl...
Yesterday I went out to Chipotle (sorry Kley, I couldn't wait for you ;_;) for lunch with Abi. God, it was great seeing her again. (And the burrito was frickin huge @_@ Eating one of those is like splatter painting. It's an art, but you tend to make a mess.) I felt kind of awkward because I couldn't talk as freely as I wanted to. Probably because it's been so long since I last saw her, I wouldn't know where to begin. But has anything that important happened to me in the last year? Not really. I guess I mean important as in a social POV. I've made a few friends, but only an even smaller amount are ones that I would want to hang out with. Go figure they would be my choir girls, and I don't even take choir anymore. *sigh* But they did call me Wednesday after class to see what happened and why I wasn't there. I told them the situation, but they've still invited me to come to their socials, the first one being next Friday afternoon. I miss them ;_;
I've also noticed that I'm starting to miss my family more and more. Was I always this emotionally dependent on them? Or is it just that I had been home for over a month and was enjoying it, and now my time isn't taken up by classes because we haven't had a full week of class yet? A mix of that and my roomies always being gone or doing something social...curse them for being part-time freshmen. I think that's another factor in me thinking about continuing college in Dallas. It's way closer to home, I can go home every weekend, and have a great social life. (Understatement.) But I'm already here, why bother to change now? I guess it all depends on how this semester turns out.
It's so pretty outside, why can't the windows let in more light? When I finally get my own house (or whatever), I'm going to make sure that there are plenty of windows for natural light.

Back in Austin, really don't want to be. I miss home already. ;_; I finally got Kley's Christmas card, thank you *_* And you're desi at heart, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise XD I also have a package in the mail that I have to pick up tomorrow...I wonder what it could be? Hmmmmm....
And now, for all of you lovely people out there who care to know my schedule, here it is:
Ouch. But the great part is...NO CLASSES ON FRIDAYS! *_*! So happy *_*!
Oh, and the night I went to see Return of the King, the PoA trailer was in the promos. *cue angel chorus* I was giddy when I saw it online, but seeing it on the theater screen is just...*cue angel chorus again* I'm so ready for it to be out. June 4th baby!

I ended up not going to that thing last night, and I'm happy about it :D Chad and I went to Chili's for dinner (and was bugged by his little brother, who was out with friends before their theater formal), and then we went to see LotR:RotK. Wow *_* So kick ass *_* But now I have to pack and get ready pack...not so kick ass ;_;

Not much since last post. I went out to eat with my best friend last night after we went to get my haircut. Yes, another haircut. I figured if I've finally managed to get shorter hair after somehow sacrificing most of it, I should get it done properly! So I went to a salon and got a more stylish cut. I like it a lot, it's different compared to what I'm used to. Pics later.
Also managed to watch Finding Nemo, which made me cry so many times...it was good! And now I've finally figured out what that line was that Mike was trying to imitate. I'm going to miss being in his class ;_;
But now I need to call Chad and see what movie he wants to see this weekend, and try to figure out why we're going to an Indian thing tonight that I really don't want to go to. Ugh.

I'm doing much better with this haircut now. But my best friend even suggested last night that I could pull off a feathered look now if I really wanted to. And I've been meaning to try it, so I just might make an appointment at one of the salons here tomorrow...
I haven't been doing much of anything this week except for studying and then going out for a bit. Like on Friday, I went out to eat lunch with some friends from high school at a place called El Sombrero. Good food, cheap prices. Ideal for a college kid's budget. And then afterwards we splurged on ice cream at Marble Slab. Mmmmm.
That night my sister's friend came over to spend the night, and we ended up getting way too much done in Windwaker. I almost couldn't follow it...but I did. And I'll make an attempt at finishing up as much as possible during my last week here. Only a few more days left *sobs*
Last night I got a phone call from my best friend, and she needed to get out desperately. So we went out to see Chasing Liberty. It definitely smacked me in the face how confident and comfortable Mandy Moore is with herself. Kudos. Then there's also Matthew Goode. Mmmmm. And it doesn't hurt that his accent alone is to die for. Mmmmm times two. After that, we went out to eat at IHOP (ah, the memories), and we talked about anything and everything. A couple driving home late at night with a month old baby happened to sit down at the table next to us, and they finished eating and feeding the baby girl (who was SO adorable) within a span of 15 minutes because the baby was awake and they didn't want to cause a disturbance if she were to cry. The baby did start to wail a bit, and that's when they got up to leave after cramming down the last of their food and pay the bill. The mother said to us "When you become mothers, just be prepared for crazy nights like this :D" Us: "...^^;"

I took my sister to get her haircut, and on a whim I decided to fix my hair too. I just needed a cleanup, but the person who cut my hair must have been in training because she butchered my hair. And the other lady was great with my sister's hair, it looks fabulous. It's great really, because my hair is so thin, even getting layers didn't help it any. In fact, I could pass for Snape. I'm not joking.
Dammit, I'm going into hiding.

I have been trying to blog for the past 3 days now, but things just keep happening (read computer completely restarting, wiping out some of my favorites and such) so I come now spreading hopes of a Happy New Year to all. I haven't gotten anything serious accomplished these last few days, and I can't either until Monday. Because that's when everyone will be gone and I won't have to study or anything. Yay!
Thursday night my best friend and I went to go see Cheaper By the Dozen. Cute, really cute. I laughed, I cried, but I still think that I would have much rather seen another movie in the theaters. I think this movie should be watched at home with family while sitting on the couch eating kettle corn. Mmmm. But I do have hopes for other movies. Maybe I will finally get to see RotK and Love Actually. Will I ever get to see them?
I ended up watching a lot of Hindi movies too. They've been on for the new year I guess. I saw Chalte Chalte, Hungama, and Darna Mana Hai. All of them are great movies, I would so buy them. But I recorded them, so nyah! The first one is a chick flick, the second is a laugh riot, and the third one is a horror movie - but it was actually kinda funny because most of the horror part was lame.
For New Years, I went over to a family friend's house. The party was just parents sitting around eating dinner and talking, and having the older kids baby-sit the younger kids. But there were only two young girls, and they were SOOOO cute *_* I didn't mind. The party was supposed to end at 11 too, because that's when the earliest time zone in the US hit the new year. How retarded, but my friend's parents are just plain weird, to put it nicely. And I mean VERY nicely.
Mom's home! She's been at work (on a Saturday!) since 7 this morning. And it's now almost 6 PM. She must be so tired, I think I'm going to treat her to a nice game of Banjo-Tooie. We (my sister and I) haven't even touched any other games since we got the Zelda games. (BTW James, we would only be missing OOA and OOS >_>) I think we're just now walking into the Forbidden Woods on Windwaker? I just found out she has to do the same thing again tomorrow. How fucking retarded >O!
Oh! I finally got a pair of glasses! I just got them today, they are nice simple black wire frames. Yay! And my sister got contacts! She's so brave for her age...she looks cute without her glasses on. Awwwww ^_^;;
Speaking of Mom, I'm really sorry about what happened ;_; *huggles* I love you, and just know that I'm here for you!
Ok, my mommy brought home pizza, I want to eat it now. My left index and middle fingers are in pain anyway. While bringing my laundry downstairs, I smashed my fingers between my laundry basket and the edge of the stairs railing, which really hurt and cut my fingers.
