President's Weekend

Wow I never thought that I would of done this but I have published after this one 100 post! That's insane. I thought about posting something different as it is the 100th post but in the end realized I wouldn't of got here if it was the normal things that I post.

Last weekend, President's weekend I went home for the first time since winter break and it was quite an interesting weekend. It started off as a nice chill weekend going to my friends apartment to stay. There I was greeted by some of my favorite people in the world! I got to see my second family. It just made me realized how much I really miss these people and how much I miss being at home. I didn't even end up going home until Saturday at around three or four. Once I got home though, no one was there. My dad and bro had gone to him band concert. While my mom was out in Ireland doing some work related thing. My mom then decided to "Tango" me, which is pretty much skype but was a different app. I ended up talking to her for about an hour or until my brother got back. That night though I still didn't stay at home, I went back to my friend's apartment and hung out and stayed for the night. On Sunday I ended up doing a lot of homework and that night I went to hung with JH KJ TS and DJ. We went to the tea garden out in Minneapolis and then to watch warm bodies afterward. It was a nice get together that we did. Tonight would be the first night that I actually slept in my own bed.
On Monday, I was suppose to go back to Fargo but a blizzard came and they closed down I94 so we couldn't get into fargo if we wanted to. So with that setback I went out to Mankato because I wanted to visit some friends and not wanting to stay at home for the day. Heading out to kato wasn't bad, nice clear roads. Went and surprised some friends. First surprised JN and ending up hanging out with her for a couple hours. After hanging with JN, I went and hung out with AE. It was so nice to see her again. Even though we just sat and talk, it was definitely really nice.

The most interesting thing I did that weekend was I had to drive back to shakopee from mankato during blizzard like conditions. Again I had to drive it to fargo in blizzard conditions. Man I have a weird life.

Happy Chinese New Years

So how's the weather from where you are? Here in Fargo, we currently are experiencing a blizzard! It is so bad that they have already called in and canceled school for tomorrow. I thought that winter would be done by now but guess not. This has probably been the most snowfall at one time that I have seen.

Anyways onto a different topic. 

Happy Chinese New Years! Chuc mung nam moi (happy new years in Chinese). It is officially the year of the snake. This new years marks the very first new years where I wasn't with my family. It just feels really weird and to think that I have more of these to come in the future. Before leaving college I never really knew what missing my family would be like because I never had that feeling before. Even when my mom would go out and travel for one to three weeks, it meant nothing to me. Now though, they mean everything to me. It just feels so weird and sadly it has only been about a month since I've last saw them but still. I miss them so much right now. Next weekend, president day weekend, I plan to go home and visit some friends but sadly I wont be able to see my mom because she will be in Ireland. I haven't told anyone yet that I would be coming home mainly because I'm not sure that I can find a ride home or not.

The other day I went to a basketball game here at NDSU, the first non football sporting event i went to. It was pretty cool but it wasn't like anything I thought it would be. Well it was weird, anytime we were score points the entire crowd would cheer loudly. It could be from a simple layup to a swish from the 3 point line. Shouldn't a layup be normal and not something that should be exciting? I think the worse part about it was during the half time show. It was high school dancers dancing but that wasnt the worse part. The worse part was that they look liked sluts, 12 year old sluts. They wore the tights that looked like fishnets and they danced as though they were in a club trying to hook up with guys. Nothing seem too coordinated at all.

Lastly my blog here wouldn't be a normal blog without talking about my friends. Recently three of my close friends moved into an apartment together and I cant wait to see it. The best part about it is that they all have girlfriends now too! They are starting to make a name for themselves. Another is out at UND but I don't really know much about what is going on with her. All I know is that she is on her way to pursing what she wants to be. We can't forget about preggers. She is two months away from popping it out. Then we have the guys out at Carroll and UMD. Sadly though I know nothing of what they are doing or how they are.  Everyone seems to be on their way to being successful. Then there's me. Ever since I have came here I have done nothing with myself. I haven't done anything that would bring me closer to becoming a pharmacist. Urg.
Then there is this girl that I kind of like as well. And I have no idea what I want to do with this feeling. Im in a  tough spot right now. Can't say much about this except she is "short" well about average for a woman. More to come about this relationships and feelings in the next post.

Anyways Keeping you confused as I am
 till next time

One Odd Dream to Reality

So right now I should be writing a paper for my English class, but instead I'm here updating my blog while watching the super bowl commercials on YouTube. It got me thinking, people and players get pumped for this day. Players dream of the day that they can perform on the big stage with millions watching them.Sure I had a dream like that once. Dreams are dreams and sometimes you just have to go back to reality.

Before we head back to reality though, I had this crazy dream the other night. It wasn't one complete dream but instead it was a bunch of different parts to it. It started off where my friends and I were sitting around and we were talking, making small jokes and then one of the girls leans over to me and ask "would he really do that" I was shocked that she would ask me that and I just told her back " I have no idea but who knows unless you make the first move." After that all I remember was that there was a closed door. It then went to another place and I was jumping out of a plane. When I was about to jump for some reason I couldn't and when I looked down I had no bones. I was just a blob of skin jumping out of a plane. I had a couple of dreams like before it was over.

Once a dream is over, back to reality we go. Sometimes reality is like a dream and other times reality sucks. My reality is pretty mellow right now. Just an average college student that tries and study and get good grades. I'm not one of those students that you see on TV that goes out and parties all the time, just an average student trying to get through college. When I first got here, I was so excited to go to parties and make "poor decisions" but as time when on I found out that parties aren't really my scene. I don't really party hard with people I don't know. The worst part about it was that I didn't know anyone at all. I had no one to go to when I first got here. That may have been the worse part but the sad part was that I am a shy kid so making new friends and talking to new people isn't really my forte. Slowly I started meeting people and soon they became my friends, although who would want to be friends with me :P. I had found friends that I could kind of relate to at home. Maybe not the same as home but this is the best that I got. I can see myself being friends with these people for a very long time. But what really is a long time? Is a long time just a couple of hours or a couple days? Maybe its a year or better yet a lifetime. Who knows but why think that far into the future. What better time than to live in the present. The present here though isn't as great as one may seem. It has been cold and miserable in Fargo. Sure when you first look at the weather it isn't that bad, five degrees out or even -15 degrees out. What you really have to look for when you look at the weather out here the wind. The wind is just horrible. The other day there was 45 mph winds and a couple days ago it was 30 mph winds. So just imagine your -15 degree plus 30 mph winds, you are now freezing your face off.

At times like these, I just love to think about summer! Summer, a time where you have nothing to worry about and life is good. You got bikini, beaches, sun, boats and tons of fun with friends. This summer I want to make it as epic as I possibly can! These are the fun things I want to do by the end of summer

  • Skydive! 
  • Cliff Jumping
  • More Paint balling
  • Learn how to wake board
  • Go to some concerts!
  • Go on a road trip with friends
  • Party!
  • Have bonfires
  • Just living life as it should be
  • Travel

And the not so much fun things that I plan to achieve
  • Taking the PCAT
  • Going to summer school with Organic Chemistry 2
These list could go on and on forever but this is what I want most to do this summer. It is kind of like a summer bucket list. 

Well it is getting kind of late now as it is 2:30 in the morning and my battery is just about dead, So I will talk to you guys soon (:
