| semi-yearly post? idk, i just felt like updating this baby.
lets see... we'll start off with the biggie: i'm done with highschool. its actually been several weeks since i graduated in june. i'm finally done with all the meaningless yet tedious work that underwent at the academy. i'm just happy my engineering project (a robotic acoustic tuner) worked somewhat well to let me graduate with good grades =) thank you academy for... well, making me the responsible young man i am today.
friends? well...i'm going to miss my class, thats for sure. but i felt the drifting apart cause of college mid-may. people lost interest in problems and working on relationships cause college was starting. at first i didnt have that mindset, but no one else seemed to care, so why should i? everyone's caught up in the future, college and it all, so caught up that they forgot about the present. yeah, i miss certain people alot, and college hasnt even started yet.
speaking of college, i got into Drexel University's BS/MS Electrical Engineering Program with 5 year Co-op. i plan on co-oping in either korea or japan so i can build robots. i already went to orientation, and i met some really chill kids. i also met this really cute asian girl, but she seemed too caught up in texting people not present during the day. idk, i suppose there are still some kids who're holding on to the lives they're leaving.
i won the scholarship at wegmans grocers. i need to work like 180 more hours though... yeah. idk if i'll make it. at least i'll have money right? hah. work is more fun now. i have actual people to talk to. a little too late with college starting, but i mean, they make the day go by faster.
idk why i wrote this.

yeah, i got another one of the emails from xanga asking me if i want to deactivate my account or not.
i might make it a point to write in this thing at least once a year, maybe to update everyone on anything important going on, or to rant, or something...
so lets see...whats new since 2008?
i got into college. Drexel, NJIT and Rutgers. Drexel is my top choice. I think i'd love living next to the city. I also am really into the whole co-op thing and makign my own money starting 2nd year. I'd be close by to my sister and my cousin, so that'd be nice. Also, UPENN is right next door. A bunch of my friends are thinking of going there. i hope they get in. NJIT though, might give me a full ride. And i'd probably have an easy time there, and i could study abroad in Japan.... we'll see after they tell me how much financial aid i get.
i still work at wegmans. they're offering me a scholarship if i work 910 hours by 9/1/08. i have to work roughly 11 hours a week in order to make 910 exactly. i cant do that unless i start picking up my sundays again. i also wont haha. i'll just work a 40 hour week or something...
no, still not a drunk or a druggy. i'm a good boy.
i have my drivers license, but no car? its ok. i steal the car when my parents arent home. i cant really go anywhere though... my parents come back home spontaneously. meh.
personality wise... yeah, i've dropped the whole i hate everythign attitude. but instead of being all serious, apparently i'm too UN-serious. no one can tell if i'm joking or not. its a great feelign when you say something like, "hey, could i buy you dinner sometime?" and they respond with a laugh and a "friendly" shove on the shoulder. its ok though, one day a girl will come my way and say "sure" and mean it. haha. cant wait for that, i probably will be stunned and all the restaurants i know will black out and i'll be left wtih an aresenal of fast food joints. xP
i've changed my look for 09. subtle, but i added wearing ties. haha, i'll see how long i keep wearing em.
friend wise... i've made some new close friends. haha. took me 4 years to get around to it, but i think i finally got ms.jooday park to enjoy my company. joey miller also likes bummign around with me. haha its funny, last year i was so i'm goign to cut friendships and blah blah blah. i did the opposite xP
me and my friend sean made a youtube channel. flipfunnies. so far we only have 2 videos, one of them is actually good apparently haha. we plan on working on this alot. sean has one video on works right now...i hope he uploads it soon. hah.
i tend to spend alot of money. most of it is on the same 3 people. steve, sean and jooday. idc, i love them haha.
on life... my math teacher made a point that religion is not all too important. it made alot of sense to me. the golden rule seems to be the only rule we should teach to our kids. and when they turn 18, they can go join a religion if they please. still, someone made the point that you cant put logic to religion cause its an illogical concept, and believing in it, if it makes someone happy, then thats great. personally, i'm not gonna be "religious" once i get into college. well, i wont, unless i find someone who somehow makes going to church "fun". maybe just beign with that person is enough to drive me to go haha.
still on life... i've come to realize that getting mad is pointless. still, i do get mad. and i always feel bad for it and apologize. the useless emotions: anger and jealousy.
i should go study physics.
thats all for 2009! see you next time?! haha

| xanga emailed me saying they missed me. because of this random
spontaneous show of love for me, i decided to grace them by updating
this stupid thing.
i quit coldstone a while back, probably in teh summer, and now i work
at wegmans bagging groceries, scanning items, pushing carts,
registering customers, refilling baskets....yeah, sounds like boring
and alot, but it has good pay and good hours (weekends only!)
uhh, i recently decided that grades arent everything. since the
academians are basically guaranteed a spot in NJIT, its useless for me
to try my very best. i didnt even study for midterms all that much
cause i decided its pointless.
i've noticed taht people are very concious of what others think of
them. i, for one, am tryign to care less about everyone elses opinions.
for example, someone i used to be very close to is distancing
themselves from me because it seems as if they're more worried about
what someone else thinks about them than actually admitting to the fact
that they like being rather close to me. i dont see why it'd matter,
but whatever, like i said, i could care less anymore.
i have random bits of depression here and there. idk why. just randomly get sad, tired, emo, whatever you want to call it.
i cant sleep anymore. dont know why.
i re-evaluated some relationships i have, and i realize certain people
dont deserve my friendship. especially when its more of a one sided
friendship where i do all the effort.
on a happier note, i have a new philosphy: whatever happens, happens,
and theres no use in getting worked up over it, because in the end, you
cant change what life has given you.
not much happier eh? heh.
i still think xanga is stupid.
