SIM, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York

AM HERE TO STAY!!!

The folks have decided to keep me here on this island….
I have mixed feelings about it….
but I think I’ll warm up to it….

It also means that I start school in 2 months!!!!!!!!
heading down to SIM tmr to pay up the first sem fees…..
freaking expensive….
but I’m trying to look on the bright side…
I get to stay here with my friends….
although, ash is gonna be leaving us in 2010….
hariz too…..
ricky’s prob too when he’s out….
but i will have some others left….
and sa’s coming home next year….
I am finally getting to do something I want to do.
and the guilt is giving me the motivation to work hard.
It has things I’ve always wanted to do
and things I dread doing

I NEED TO TAKE CHINESE TUTION MAN!!!

I realise…. I spent 6 yrs running away from chinese…
and now it’s caught with me…
i have to take it…
Lindajie said to take this opportunity to improve my chinese…
I am TRYING to be positive about it….

And no matter how much I wanna escape math…
I can’t….
it really follows u where ever you go…..

I’m also afraid of the whole Min.2.5 GPA. Avg. C

I can’t remember if I was this scared when I went into poly……
but I survived it….
I just hope I survive this and do well enough in it.

the folks are paying an ass amount of money for it….
i have to do well…..

my life is too freakin charmed…..
Guilt’s eating at me like leprosy….
I need that spending line to shift….
sounds quite stupid….
going mad due to a charmed life….
i wouldn’t want my life any other way
but…..
AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What’s freakin wrong with me…….

I need some direction….
I need some independence…..
I need a screw driver to fix my head….

I think I see my future….
knitting with a room full of cats….
a life of a hermit crab….
worse…
something worse……

ahhh…..
i’m really insane…
