Dark Days Have Finally Arrived

Dearest Stalkers,
It's just the 3rd week and I'm beginning to hear Death knocking on my door.
Almost missed a quiz in music history today. That was close. Thank God for nice Minnesotan professors.
I'm really disappointed in my performance as a student this week.
Here are my disappointments:
1) Have not practiced as much as I should be.
2) Have not been on top of my reading.
3) Missed my first class of the year.
4) Did not fill out my planner.
5) Allowed myself to be distracted by dumb boys.
I have NOT been on top of things at all. Just one week. I can change this.
What a shitty week. Sometimes, I wish college was just all about sex and alcohol.

What is life without a goal? What is growth without hardships and changes?

Have confidence in yourself and your abilities. Believe that you can get anything that you've set your eyes on--accomplish anything that you wish to accomplish. Your life is your choice.

Till the next post,

Dearest Stalkers

Looks like you've came to read my blog. Welcome.
I would like to say that there really isn't anything interesting about me. But I would be lying.
Life in itself is very exciting to me. I guess it's true that life can be whatever you choose to make out of it. This summer, I have chosen to live every second of my life as excited as I possibly can.
So here is one example of my many exciting days in Augsburg College.
My day began at 7.30am with a delicious cup of soy mocha from Augsburg's coffee shop.
First class I had was Music History, and then I did a marvelous presentation on Richard Strauss in Voice Repertoire. Practiced for couple hours, then hurried to Vocal Chamber. My group was able to learn a new Cantata by J.S. Bach. Fun stuff!
After class, I ran to Murphy's and grabbed couple cookies for lunch, and then ran to Kennedy Center for Religion 200. We discussed the movie Mississippi Burning vs. the actual history of the Civil Rights movement. Honestly, I've never cared much about the US history. It had nothing to do with the Eastern/my world. But I did learn a lot today. I realized how ridiculous life can be, even in America. Toilets and buses being labeled "black" and "white", the KKK, and all the violence and killing caused by the different skins people were born in--I guess to some, the American life was no better than a Chinese, African, Russian, Indian or any other's life.
Anyway, after Religion, I ran to the Music Building. Practiced for another hour, and then went on my way to choir. Was made fun of by this boy named Dan Volz. He can be really stupid sometimes. But his pointless remarks can be really memorable at times. Like today, he said that we were both similar in someways because I am an Asian and he's an Asian with a cock--cockAsian. I wonder how he's managed to keep himself alive in the past 2 decades?
Once choir was over, my friend, Leah and I drove to Groth Music by MOA to shop for a conducting baton. Had MickeyD's for din din, returned to Augsburg, practiced for another hour, and then attended a roommate meeting.
Now, I am bloggin, and I am hoping that I'll be able to work on my reading assignments after this cause I am close to 100 pages behind in all of my classes.
....yes...my life is very exciting indeed.
...wow...My life is pretty much lame...sorry guys...I lied.

But, I will not give up. I shall blog away until that day when I shall find myself blogging about a REAL exciting day.

Till then, so long and farewell
