Oh man

Lesson learned. Don't upgrade to iTunes 9 or iPhone 3.1 just yet. O jeez.

I'm afraid that if I sleep now, I won't wake up in time to pack my things up for SLO in the morning. But I guess if I put it off longer, I might crash even harder later on.

Farewell to my family and friends back home! I hope to see you soon! I'll try to keep this blog updated as much as I can. I'm a little tired for a long post right now. =/ Hopefully tomorrow night!

Because this song makes me feel good

while I'm trying to fix this mess that I'm in.. updating my brother's iPhone...

Wanna be starting something

Tomorrow, I'll be away for a weekend at the beach with this year's staff! No phones, no Internet. I'll have my laptop with me though. I have those privileges this year! It should be a nice break from being unplugged as well.

This past week has been fun, being able to chill with friends before the hectic and demanding schedule of the school year starts. I'm still settling into my house and my room, but it's been great so far! It's nice having a place off-campus. Surprisingly enough, my friends and I still live close to each other, which is nice! Not too close but not too far away as well.

We also got Cable and Internet on Tuesday and the TV has been on all week all day. It kind of makes me sad, actually, to have such things. The two days that I was here without being plugged in was nice. People were over and we didn't need such things to have a decent conversation. I guess our conversations still remain the same, but background noise just increased. I must admit, though, that the Internet helps us communicate with others in a faster way.

Well, what do I have coming up this weekend? Staff retreat with lots of fun and bonding! It should be great and I'm getting really psyched for this year to come, in terms of PCE. Afterwards, I'll be back home for a week to spend just a little more time with family and hometown friends. :)

And so it begins...

Tomorrow, or later today I should say, I'll be going back to San Luis Obispo for more than a weekend visit. Though I'll be coming back home soon after a week away, I'd like to say that this is when my third year of college will start to commence. A lot has changed, and more will continue to take place. I'd like to say that I've learned a lot from the past two years of college, but I know there is still more to learn.

Even though I'm not quite moving away just yet (I still have a few more trips back and forth before I go home for a while), I'm feeling more like I did back in the summer before college: excited to go to school and experience new things, but sad to leave friends and family behind. I really wish everyone I know and love just lived in the same place! But right now, I'm letting everyone go their separate ways, as I should be doing as well.

Let's meet again, in one year. I'll try to post more during the year!

Something that I want to try soon

34 A recent find

Okay... I keep way too much stuff from the past to not make a scrapbook. I only wish that I had started it earlier! Omygoodness. -_-

We recently moved and I'm trying to unpack all of the boxes that I have in my room. I'm uncovering a lot of things that I've kept all the way from elementary school. I'm a pack-rat and I have a problem. I love keeping things that may not necessarily be important, but I keep them anyways. I have collections of old letters, postcards, and birthday greetings. I keep all of my movie stubs and fortune cookie fortunes, no matter how silly they are. I keep all kinds of ticket stubs and airplane tickets and stickers that I like... I keep some old homework assignments and projects because I remember I worked so hard on them. But now, they aren't useful to me. I no longer need to know about every single section of the Constitution or every department of the government or the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Yet I can't seem to throw them away... What should I do with them though? =/

www.wolframalpha.com

I think it's a nice link for reference. It's kind of like Wikipedia and Google combined. You can perform calculations and find out quick little tidbits about anything. Look up your birthday and find out exactly how long you've been living! You can also find out what your expected lifespan would be, but I forget how to do so... When I find that other link where I found out about Wolfram Alpha, I'll be sure to post it up! :)
