Free at last

I guess I've finally decided to create an online journal whose purpose is the same as a private journal-- to be a private collection of thoughts. Well, not to say that I don't have a lot of "secret" journals that I don't pass around... but I think those are more "venting" journals. Full of wordy descriptions and mean thoughts. I think this journal should be more positive; it should be more positive and plain.

Well, what's been going on in my life?

I have two midterms this week. For my two Poli Sci classes: data analysis and comparative politics. I think I should be okay, its just getting started that should be hard. Argh.

Lunar/Chinese New Year is on Wednesday, Feb 9. Hello, year of the Rooster. My family is doing the regular celebration. Food, praying, fun family times. I feel kind of bad, though. It seems like the older we get, the more these functions become mandatory and really bothersome. I mean, not for me; I really like these events, actually. But for my sister. I feel bad about it, not because she doesn't want to come. But because I feel it creates this sort of.. rift between us. Its like a difference that we have, that I feel, is pretty substantial. Something that gets in between us in a bad way... I don't know.

Another thing. My sebbhorea has really started to clear up. I hope it doesn't come back. It's weird though, because I've never had an outbreak around my mouth like I did this time. Sigh. I feel like a monster shedding its skin. :(

Anyway. For the most part, school and work are fine. The only things that I have as long term plans as of now are: finishing my FAFSA, finding an apartment, relearning how to drive, going to the gym more often (to lose about 15 lbs)... etc!
