Boosting the GPA & Busy-ness
One thing I realized I need to get used to in college is being busy 24/7 and still feeling like you don't have enough time to finish everything... To stay in the education program in my school, you need to have a 3.0 GPA. I'm definitely fooling around way too much, but my GPA isn't like a 2.3 or something. I can definitely get it to like a 3.0-.4-ish depending on how hard I try, but I feel like I'll have no social life if I do this.
I really love playing the cello, and it boosts my GPA b/c it's an easy A but is it taking too much time practicing and memorizing pieces? This week, I de-activated fb for awhile, and I got so~ much done. I really need more self-control. It's definitely something I should pray about.
My first class later today is cancelled. Woopie~!
I have a crush on this boy Dan... let's see how that goes. hahaha But seriously I think I had a crush on like 5 guys since I've been here, and seriously, it faded within 3 days. Or I got to know them better and they were just guys who'd be better as good friends.
Definitely, my closes friends here at GCC are Kristen and Liz. I think I may have complained about Liz earlier on Xanga or on Weebly, but I really do appreciate her b/c she just 'gets' me, much like Mandy or Jenny do. I really do miss Mandy and Jenny, and it's probably really bad to say that they're the only people back from home who I'm really close with. I really want to get to know Bearded Zach, Kanoff, Hertland, and Sutchin better. I'm definitely getting to know Bearded Zach a lot better, and he's super funny. He's starting to loosen up and show his true sarcastic humor, which I love b/c it's very similar to mine. Kanoff--I feel like I can relate to if I get to know him better. Hertland is a bit of a jerk, but I feel like it's a mask for something deeper, and he plays tennis so I'm already inclined to favor him. And Sutchin was a guy who I wrote off in the beginning as someone who I don't really care much about. But on Fri, he played Catch Phrase with us, and we were just on the same page. He reminded me a lot of my sister... hahaha. I also, of course, want to get to know Dan better...
But I get nervous around guys who are especially athletic. And I totally did not know this when I first met him, [He has the most awesome smile!] but he runs triatholons and is on the track team, which is intimidating... I just feel like athletic people wouldn't like me. So I had a heart-to-heart with Kristen and Liz in the SAC yesterday until the wee hours of the morning, and they said that their first impression of me was that I was pretty. It was really a shock b/c I never think of myself as pretty... And Liz said her sister thought so also. It really is an eye opener and made me think of Stephanie Meyers- the author of the Twilight Series. She says that Bella takes slightly after herself concerning the reaction of boys to her when she went to college. Meyers never thought of herself as beautiful, but she goes to college and everyone says that she's pretty. There is one boy in high school who I think thought I might have been pretty, but I don't want to mention his name b/c I know some people from my high school are subscribed to this xanga [and it's a very low probability that they would read this post ... but still]. This guy I liked too, but he was definitely a partier. And he has invited me, but [nerd alert coming up] he would always invite me to ones on Sat nights. As president of the youth group, I should be present for SBS [Saturday Bible Study].
Just 2 hours ago, Rose awkwardly asked me if she was a close friend of mine, when I said off-handedly I made some good friends here. I didn't know what to say, and I had to do some damage control when she took some offense but s'all good now. phew! What does she expect, though? She's always in her room studying it up [which I admire b/c I do not have that much self control], and we never have heart-to-hearts.
This week is going to be hectic w/ an exam Fri I MUST do well on, a cello recital, cello lesson, rush [popcorn parties and first formals], a bunch of school work, clubs, and socializing. I think I'm gonna have to hold off socializing until the weekend. Well, this is what's coming up--not looking forward to it...
<3 Soo [That's what they call me in college- lawl.]

I forgot to mention that tonight was the first time I ever successfully french braided my hair myself! I was so excited. It's not perfect, but not horrendous either! :D

I also want to give kudos to Obama. I am not a Democrat in any means, but I feel he should be commended for trying to bridge the gap and bring improvements upon the Native American Tribes' lives and relations with the United States. This effort I feel will not only help them but us as well. Anyways bad blood is just that--bad.
- All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse.
