Shit Happens

Fuck financial aid.

On another note, it's winter break! Just trying to make the most of it. Gonna spend time with all the friends and family and of course, Amy! (: I'm soo broke now though too! Got the snow trip next week and the Christmas party today! So excited!

Blah.

December

Already December huh? Oh how time flies. idk what's new nowadays?

I had a great time back home for Thanksgiving How I missed real Asian food XD But it was also great getting to spend time with family and friends. There's 2 weeks left of this quarter. Finals are already next week! Gah. Well, not gonna stress about it, except chem bleh. Just gonna take whatever they decide to give me and beast the shit out of it haha.

On another note, I've been having a strange cough like on and off the past month and a half or so. I'm bouta get it checked out tomorrow at the health center, but I dont think it'll help so much, so I'll just have to endure until I'm able to get back home for winter break. I was looking up symptoms and such and hopefully it isn't Cough-Variant Asthma or something worse. But I think I'll manage for now.

Financial aid is still being retarded. Not much more to say there.

Humm...Gotta do my Christmas shopping still with Amy. How many big gifts will it be this year? Ah and there's also family gifts too. I'll be sure to get on that soon...hopefully. Can't wait til Christmas break!!!

I want froyo.

Blogging via text? Wow this world is so high-tech now :o

Random blog day

It's Christmas time! Or well we're playing Christmas music in our dorm at least (: I love it. People are all like o.o
Other than that, just trying to get this 10 page paper out of the way. Sooo looking forward to Thanksgiving and Black Friday Shopping (: I gotta come up with some gift ideas with Amy soon too.

Random blog to come later at a random time.

Still hoping I get that financial aid package. It's still bitching in the back of my mind that after one quarter, I'll have to leave Davis :(

Just hanging on...

Midterms. woo. Time to focus and study!

Davis! :O

So it's been at least 2 weeks already since we first came to Davis.
So what do I think of it? So far I'm loving it here :D Everythings pretty chill except reading which is like a chapter a night, but hey, it's college, can't really do anything. I'm only taking 13 units, including 2 PE classes, so it's pretty easy. I'm trying to stay on top of my work so I have time for other things.
Gonna try to get to know people in my dorm this week cause it's been 2 weeks and I dont know many people haha, and we're gonna be doing Ultimate Frisbee as a dorm (roughly 30 out of like maybe 50 people in the entire dorm). So it's probably best to get to know people now.

I miss the Bay <3

Hello Davis

Moving in tomorrow :o still been fighting mixed emotions about moving in this whole week, but oh well. What happens, happens. I will definitely miss those back here in the Bay Area and those who have already gone off to college. <3

7 Days

Officially one week left before I move into Davis. I'm already sure it'll be very bittersweet. It's a whole new experience and I'm ready for it, but at the same time, there are things still left undone throughout this whole summer.

Justin and Ryan left for CalPoly today, and I'm glad we got to hang out yesterday. It was some crazy fun with the dares xD and the fireworks was probably the best way to cap off the night. I'm gonna miss you guys, not just the CalPoly kids, but everyone else too. Of course, there'll always be visits, but everyone knows it's not gonna be the same...well maybe at least until our breaks. xD

Still, my parents want me to stay at home and go to chabot for 2 years. Right now, I have no financial aid, not including loans. because of technicalities and shit, we're waiting on our appeal, but that might not be processed until after we have to pay...roughly 6.5k for the quarter. So I really hope things work out, if not, Chabot here I come. Might get a job at costco too if that should happen.

Half way through a busy, but fun, week! :o

Monday- Hangout with Amy, Allen, Vanessa and Janae
Tuesday- Sky High party! and Cabello afterwards

My shoulders are sore for some reason from Sky High and football yesterday.
I can seriously go for some froyo right now. or cheesecake. idk. :D

Still to go
Thurs- Mission Peak and Boomers
Fri- Last group party at Justins
Sat - taht one thing.

Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in this life.

Just makes you think.

Hmm.

Sometimes I sit here and wonder...
Why all this foolishness we call "drama"
I can honestly say that many "dramas" I notice with people aren't problems at all, but figments of their imagination (Jabbawockeez?) But really. it takes at least 2 to start some sort of drama.
So I ask...Why?
Why start problems?
Why hate?
Why the futile arguments?
Why?

I like this urban dictionary def.
drama

making a big deal over something unneccessarily

idk. As I'm typing this, i feel it's a bunch of nonsense, and perhaps it is. But whatever. Just feel like blogging.

:o

Been such a lazy summer. I should pick up a book and start reading. I have yet to read Harry Potter numero 7. Even though i skipped 5 completely and just watched 6. Oh well (:

Still got quite a while before I actually start college, so still trying to make the most of my summer, even though I think I'm just gonna be stuck at home today and maybe the trip to the gym tonight. Ugh.

We shall see.

Give me what you got.

Ready? Go.

Happy birthdays!

To so many people in the last few weeks! Aniq, Jess, Arnold, Gino, Val, and more. haha

orientation tomorrow. Excited? Maybe. Ready to move on in life? Maybe.

I think I might have a small fear that those whom I consider close now, will drift away in the future, as people have done so in the past.

But this time, I really do want to hold on to those I truly cherish.

Just maybe.

Done

4 Years of high school. It's all over.
What can I say? I've had so many good times and bad times, but I've lived through it all.
Next Sunday is GAmy's 4 year anniversary. I love you babe always and forever. <3

Man, it's really hitting me now. I feel so happy and so sad at the same time. I want to cry, but I also want to just sit back, smile, and let out a big sigh of relief. Just going through old pictures makes me want to tear up. Life passes by so fast. 4 Years, gone in a flash. When I sit here typing this, I can't help but wonder, how I got through those seemingly never-ending days in class. Whether it be Papas' class or AP Stat with Baumback. All those days that I fell asleep in class. Man it was so worth it haha

I came into high school a young, naive child and I believe I came out a man. So many life lessons learned through my experience these last years. I'm surprised how much 1 person could teach me. You know who you are <3. But not even that, I've taken lessons from places where i least expected it - old friends, people whom I never thought I would get to know, and lots more. I have met many and gotten close to many. But at the same time, I drifted from those I thought was close to me. I've come to realize, it's pretty much inevitable unless both persons are willing to keep that connection, and I will make it my goal to keep a connection with my close ones in the future. Our lives take us on different paths, but all our paths are connected so let us cross paths yet again. Wow that was hella deep haha.

Taking Tripping this year has definitely been one of the most amazing experience in my life. I've learned lessons that I hope will last my lifetime. If you are an underclassman reading this, I highly, highly recommend this class. I will remember and miss everyone in that class. How 40 completely different people came together and bonded so closely never ceases to amaze me. Outside of that class, we come from all different "cliques" from all around the school. From nerd to jock to average joe. All those labels that we put on ourselves and others, gone. From learning to notice and letting go of upsets to communication skills, everything in that class, I hope to remember and use them in the future. They have helped me so much this year, but I know it's not just the tripping things that has helped me this year. Just becoming the bigger person that I am now has indeed helped also.

This is Gabriel "Gabe aka G-Star Gabby" Thien Quoc Nguyen signing out for the last time in my high school career. 6.8.09. 10:20pm - 10:41pm

Times like these.

Moments like these are those worth remembering.
Just staring into the sky, thinking of all that was, is, and will be.

Clock's ticking.

It's all about choice.
You can be the victim or you can have the power.
What will it be?
