So how are finals going for everyone? We don't start finals until this Friday. I have on at 8 in the morning. Loooovely...

Well there have been a couple of major events going on around here. First, I switched roommates. No longer am I Tracie's roommate, I am now Kelly's roommate! And things are great. There was a lot of drama in the beginning because kelly and i wanted my room cuz it was on the more social end of the hallway and it was just better in all ways possible, but we've adjusted very well to her room. And lots of people come in here now just to talk to us and it's such a good feel. And the layout is different so we've got more room and we still have the chairs! So people still come in to talk to us and chill. It's great. I love it. And kelly and I just get along better, we understand each other better and we're more outgoing so it just works. I was a little bitter at first because I was the only one that lost things, like Tracie stayed in the same room and got a roommate that has more similiar habits, Lisa got away from Kelly and also got a better roommate, and Kelly got me. And altho I love Kelly, the room isn't as good and I kinda felt that I (although I brought up the switch) was pushed out of my room. And i was made to be the bad guy. So that didn't feel good... and for a while I didn't want to see tracie or lisa. So i went home. My mom went back to China so I went home to spend some time with the family, but i was also able to get away. I missed a lot of people coming to visit us and the new situation, but i just needed the time off. In the meantime, Kelly wrote me a whole poem! It was so sweet and very long. I mean how can i not love my new roommate who writes me a poem when i go home for the night?

There have actually been a bunch of roommate problems surfacing at the end of the semester as people realize that they can switch roommates. The problem between Kelly and her roommate Lisa was resolved cuz we switched but others have problems with roommates and alcohol usage, boyfriend usage, and just general crabbiness. It's very sad really... because some people are trying to switch but their roommates dont want to switch or move or anything and so they can't force them to do it... so they might just be stuck. Which sucks. Stuck sucks. Rhymes.

Second, I'm back together with Steven. I don't know if you all cared about that, but I'm just gonna let you know about my love life anyway since that's usually a topic of curiosity. We're doing fine as a long distance couple so far, and he's coming home for the holidays before I leave for Utah so I'll get to see him for a while! And then we'll spend New Years' with his family so i'll get to see him before I leave for China too.

Third, umm... picking class schedule? I'm going to be taking 5 classes (18 credits) and two labs. oh boy fun... i have Chinese III, Chem, Bio, Stat, and English. Fun fun fun... I have 8 oclocks on tues/thurs and then 9 oclocks on MWF... oh what have I gotten myself into? But i end by 2 every day, so that'll be nice. Then i'll nap and wake up for dinner. Hehehe... at least that's the plan...

Fourth, study abroad trip? Can't wait! I can't believe the semester's almost over and I wont see a lot of these people i've come to know and love for 8 whole weeks. That is a loooong time... and then when we come back we'll have different schedules and it'll almost be like starting over again. At least it will be in terms of meeting people in the classes. I'd like that though. I need to get out and away from this floor more.

I'm getting a new laptop! This old one i've had for ages and it's almost falling apart on me. It's been loved to death... poor thing. I'm not thrilled about getting a new laptop because i love this old one so much, but the props about the new one will be a working microphone and integrated webcam! So i'll finally be able to talk to people online. Especially when I'm in China and the phone bills are expensive, that'll be so useful.

Oh by the way, I'm totally into writing letters to people in college. So if people wanted to give me their addresses I will definitely write you a letter.

Happy Holidays everyone! Give more than you receive, and it's the thought and heart put into a gift that count the most.

Love to you all! <333
