 I'm a hip hop dancer now. I joined a dance group called "Fresh Off the Beat," which stemmed off of UCF's Filipino Student Association... So I'm one of three or four white peeps while there are like 50 asians and 3 black dudes. Hehe, but it's so fun... I love it! I finally can learn masculine dances~! PLUS they competed in NYC at Prelude this past Spring. I'm so excited, you don't even know! :D

We have shirts that say "FSA MEANS FAMILY" and it totally reigns true. I love everyone in the group, and we are all really close. They also have a Kuya/Ate (pronounced Ah-tay) program which is like a Big Brother/Big Sister type thing. I'm an Ading haha! My official Kuya and Ate are really the best, I feel really close to them and I don't even know a lot about them, but we all talk a lot and they are in Fresh Off the Beat with me so we see each other constantly. Kuya Vicencio and Ate Katrina were already close to begin with so I'm just adding to the family... I'm so happy, it's so much fun!! Ate and I are gunna get Kuya a girlfriend by the end of this year! He hasn't had one since 10th grade and he's a junior in college now! He is really attractive, muscular and has a great smile, it's just that he's too shy to ask a girl out.



Ate Katrina, me and Kuya Vicencio~!

college  
I love college and I've only been there two weeks. I say "there" because right now I'm sitting on my bed with my cat cleaning herself next to me. One of the biggest reasons I came home... I miss my pets so much.

I have been having a really rough week emotionally. But not in the, "my week sucked!" kind of way... more in the fact that I have been experiencing a lot of extreme peaks of happiness, sadness and anxiety. When it boils down to it, the root of the problem is that there is a guy that I really like a lot and I think that he likes me sort of, but he is trying to go after this other guy and I don't think other guy really wants him? But I'm not sure. The happiness is stemming from being in college and being with an assortment of best friends from over the years. I've been hanging out with them a lot. Also, another guy entered my life this past Wednesday. He's really nice and I ended up staying the night at his house. If I wanted to, I could be in a relationship with him, no doubt. So it's pretty much like this:

Guy A likes me. I like Guy A. I like Guy B more. Guy B might like me? But Guy B likes Guy C. And as for Guy C, well, I don't really know where he stands. I might end up introducing myself to him because I might need to borrow his shorts. You might be wondering how I would go about that if I haven't even introduced myself to him yet, but the truth of the matter is that all four of us guys are all part of the 100  people in ucf's Gay Lesbian Bisexual Student Union. So... yeah.

Also, I have been practicing for Fresh Off the Beat, a hip-hop dance group that stemmed off the Filipino Student Association. Auditions are on Monday, and there is another interest session tonight (Sunday) at 7. It is some of the most exhausting work I've done in my life. If I made the team, I would be practicing on Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays for 3 hours a day. Then for the two weeks leading up to a competition I would practice every single day. It'll be really exhausting, but it will be perfect training for my SM/JYP Entertainment auditions. I'm halfway joking... it's something I've been thinking a lot about recently. I dunno if it will ever happen because I'm European and I don't have ANY asian blood, but it's still something I want to try for. If only my singing was above average....

EDIT: When I say I'm European, I obviously mean I'm caucasian, not that I'm citizen of a European nation. lol I'm American.

I picked up my first book for college yesterday. It's for my honors english class... "The Black Jacobins," OH. I JUST GOT THE TITLE. lol well remember how I was like, "I wish I was studying the French Revolution!"? Yeah, well I just realized now that the revolting party was called the "Jacobins" in France during the Revolution. Hence a book about the Haitian Revolution being called "The Black Jacobins," because they were escaping French rule.

Wow, I'm thick sometimes. It rang a bell with me when I picked it up, but I didn't really give it any though. I'm kind of excited though, because Napoleon was a general, and I love reading about him.

COLLEGE BOOKS FML  
I just spent $352 on textbooks for college. There was a while when I thought I'd be able to manage in college financially, and then I saw this (and though it's cheaper than most sets, [thank GOD for half.com]) and I'm just like "ohhhh well...." It's so much!!! Gahhh.

Also, my English class is going to consist of studying the Haitian Revolution and the involvement of Toussaint L'overture... I dunno. I kind of wish it could be the French Revolution or American colonialism if anything, but whatever.

Furthermore, I am really excited for my Astronomy course... It is one of my only non-honors courses (the other is req. communications), so the class size is like 120 or something and of course it will be in a lecture hall. I dunno what the entire thing entails though! I hear it involves a lot of complicated mathematics, so I guess that'll make me happy in some aspects because I like using brainpower but at the same time.... lol I thought it was gunna be like the course in Harry Potter hahahahahaha x)

I am so not ready for my calc exam at all. But I am so ready for the day following it. :3

There's been so much to do lately, I feel like I am rotting from all of the stuff. Like, actually, I guess there isn't a whole ton to do, but there is just so much going on that I feel exhausted and it's as if I have a mountain on my shoulders. I mean, really! I can feel it right now!! I wish I would write in here more. It's stupid that I don't because I look at it multiple times a day. Hrrm idk, idk, what to do, what to do... I need to start writing in my private journal! I didn't because I discovered I was superstitious and believed that if I wrote about DIego in there it wouldn't work out because that's how it was with like every other guy. Well just like with every other guy, it didn't work out... but I didn't write about Diego in my journal, so that's a ++++ because now I can go and write in it regularly about my lyfe without freaking out.

Umm herm. ione. This summer should be really kick ass because I won't have ANYTHING to worry about sans college stuff... but I think the worrying about college stuff will be way more fun and exciting than stressful. Off the top of my head I can't even really think of anything that I should be worrying about. The summer assignment, maybe (there is always one... right?). But yay

oh yeah I'm in UCF's honors college so go me for working my ass off in high school because it evidently paid off.

Hey!  
If I stop getting e-mails from colleges and scholarship places when I'm in my freshman year next year, then I will be able to go a week without having 200 new e-mails that I have to delete!!

:D

I'm thinking about double majoring in Art - Studio Track and Software Engineering, with minors in Business and Asian Studies.

$$$$$$

I want to live comfortably... making $80,000 a year while doing extra translating things and other stuff involving business about I don't know yet could rake in a heavy salary for me. I know it's greedy, but hey. I don't like the way our family is having to live right now, and that's on a paycheck that's more than I would get if I were an animator, and an animator alone.

It was freezing today. I wore three layers and I was still pretty dang cold.

I got this really cool application for my iPhone called "To Do's" and it's basically just a to do list . . but oh, wow! I have been so focused on all of my work since I got this thing because it kills me to see 9 things left unchecked! The things that have occupied the top space on the list have all been relating in some way to the Burnett Honors college for UCF. I've got to have my application postmarked by tomorrow in order to be considered for the scholarship stuff. I originally didn't think I had a chance of getting in because of my SAT scores, but I realized as I was filling out the application that besides those, all the rest of my stuff is pretty strong.

And they even take into consideration any personal essays or creative works you've done, and they didn't give me a limit for the amount of stuff I can send in! So I'm sending in the essay about Tabby dying, and then three or four art things.

Adrienne is calling me about my essay, so I 'm going to go :p

Didn't get my acceptance letter, and that's probably because my guidance councilor didn't do the required recommendation until Friday. So . . yeah, blah. Another week of waiting I guess.

My dad's birthday is tomorrow! woohoo!!! 

AP calc is going to be the death of me.

So I went through a humongous transcript freakout thing because UF requires you to have your transcripts sent within three weeks after you send your application. Well, I had waited until 2 and a half weeks to actually do anything of course :3

I'm assuming they got the transcript because it said that it was delivered and signed off by someone on Tuesday . . the only problem is, I don't know if they'll count it as OFFICIAL because it wasn't sent directly from the school. Rather, I was handed the transcripts in a sealed envelope and I sent them myself. As well as UCF's . . but UCF wasn't overnighted, it was priority, which means it should have gotten there yesterday (and the lady at the post office said it should get there on tuesady because Orlando is so close). 

Well I keep on checking UCF's website and my application status and it STILL says that they're waiting on my OFFICIAL hs transcripts. So I don't know if me mailing them is what's doing it, or maybe it's the post office's fault, or maybe they're not OFFICIAL but yeah, it's freaking me out ! Dx

I got a RL journal so I can write things that don't sound dodgy and I don't have to work around friend locking and stuff. Of course, this doesn't mean that I will stop writing in here, no not at all! Just hopefully a lot of the angst will be deterred due to this new journal . . !

OH! And I've started looking at college applications. I haven't started filling any out (I probably won't until mid August) yet, but it's just interesting to look at the different formats of the various colleges. Yeah, I'm really lame.

Too early for this:  

 A list of universities I plan on applying to:

- University of Central Florida
- University of Florida
- Florida State University
- University of Texas (Dallas)
- Northwestern University
- Florida Atlantic University

Yes, I know, I'm applying to Northwestern. It's actually the only school on that list that has both majors that I want to study. Damn.

But, if I get all A's from here 'till the end of my senior year I'll have a 4.6, and that's definitely what's going to happen. So. Maybe.

lalalala  
 So if I make it into UF and I major in the Eastern Asian Languages and Literature - Japanese Track, then I can study abroad in Tokyo!! 

I'm so excited, you don't even know. I checked FSU's website and I can't really find that much information on majoring in Japanese. Only Asian Studies, which is like, all of Asia. I dunno . . the only study abroad thing I see there is to Vietnam. Wtf. 

I really want to major in Languages in general, but I want my sole focus to be Japanese w/ other languages (Spanish, French, Italian, Latin, German and mayyyyybe Chinese). I don't know how to do this? hahahaha I would be so confused, but at least I'd have Spanish down pretty good by the time I go into college.

I freaked the Hell out of me tonight by realizing that I thoroughly looked over college requirements and statistics and scheduled my first college tour tonight. Is it really that close?

Ho-ly shit.
