the weather was great today. can't wait until the summer when i'll go swimming every day.
i remember when i used to go to this river in korea and my cousins and i would swim in it all day and eat ramen, popsicles, and watermelon while sitting in the water. i'm definitely going to repeat that one of these summers. just go to the river and bum it all summer long...
until then, i shall remain satisfied with the tiny, nappy, bum-showered pool here in the americana apartments. who's with me?
if there's one subject i don't like, it's european history. i can't handle studying so many countries at one time. right now i have to study for a world map quiz tomorrow in which i have to label 15 obscure places.
the professor gave us a list of 250 to memorize.
and 15 will be on the quiz, which is worth 5%...does he want me to study for this thing or not? i'm considering just "aw, screw it"-ing the quiz and just hoping that places like the Bight of Biafra, Cadiz, Kilwa, and Ceylon won't be on the quiz.
But then again, that would just be a waste of the two hours i spent procrastinating for this stink quiz. eh, i'll just study for it. knowing where the Ryukyu Islands are must help me some day...right?

the L&S advisors here are nice. i try hard to keep up a professional attitude when i'm talking to adults (preparing myself for the journalism world) and so it's a little awkward for me when the adult is being cool and i'm trying to be professional. so to compensate, i smile a lot and giggle.
at sophomore retreat, there was one phrase that really stuck with me:
the righteous man always rises back up every time he falls.
or something like that. as is the case with all things that i like, you'll probably hear me talk about this one thing for a long time, or at least until the next big thing pops up.
i went bowling today and i found out that bowling really isn't half as much fun when you're not bowling so hot. i realized this when i kept getting gutter balls and i was trying to be really fun about it but all i could do was half-smile. and the thing with half-smiling is that your mouth starts to quiver because inside you want to shove that bowling ball up someone else's alley but you can't really show it so you have to muster up a smile in order to tell people that, "hey i'm alright," even though what you really want to do is punch all the faces that are watching you mess up. but you can tell when someone is fake smiling when after they smile, you look at them and their face immediately goes back into a serious look. you know what i mean? cuz when you're not really happy, your smile will quickly dissolve back into your grim disposition.

hey folks, new screen name:
threegofred
for those of you that don't know, "three go" is a phrase used in the game of "go-stop," the game you play with those little red korean playing cards. the game is crazy. even online:
www.hangame.net...if you can get your hands on a korean social security number, sign up and play. for those of you who can't read korean, just look at the cool pictures then.
