Whoa, HI!

So, I've obviously been incredibly lazy. I wasn't going to admit how lazy I've been until Jon convinced me that we were BOTH lazy assholes.

Well, I think I'm back and hopefully I won't be as lazy starting NOW.
...okay. Not lazy anymore? Nope. Me sitting in my panties, in front of my laptop, mostly on facebook, doesn't exactly scream diligence, huh?

Anyway! I've started classes for about a week and a day now and I can already say that I fell on my ass about two times. Literally. On my ass. In the snow. (Yeah, it's snowing like a bitch up here!) I've also taken two Benadryl pills before a class without reading the box. Apparently, Benadryl makes you drowsy. Who knew? I went to chorus class completely out of it, I felt like I was drunk or high! I was barely able to follow the music.

However, I think I can honestly say that this semester won't be as bad as I thought it would be. Despite the freezing cold wind from Lake Eerie and stupid random snow storms, I should be alright! Everything is going pretty well. I'm enjoying my time back and I don't think I'm planning on going back home to Brooklyn anytime soon.

This means I will be missing out on this years' Chinese New Year activities. It's going to be the first year I won't be with my family for Chinese New year and I'm really upset about it. My whole family would always get together, get our red envelopes full of money, and go shopping. Then we'd come back with all our clothes and whatnot to a hearty Chinese New Year meal with everyone sitting around each other, eating and laughing, and playing mah jong.

Since I won't physically be there for the new year family dinner, I made my cousin promise me that she'll bring her macbook and ivideochat with me during the dinner. Is this a silly idea? I think not! I thought it was quite genius of me. So now, I'd be able to see everyone, and the food, and I guess my brother can be nice enough to flash me my red envelopes full of money.

On a brighter note: My birthday is this month! YAY!

Ice Cold

Winter is here, and it sucks major ass. Especially since it's supposed to be fall! Someone PLEASE tell me why it's in the 30's right now. I'm freezing my buttocks off!

I realized, thanks to all my facebook friend statuses, that everyone is complaining about the weather. So I might as well join them since it's seriously Ice cold. I'm just waiting for the snow to start floating down any minute now.

Seriously though? In the 30's already? I remember when October was such a wonderful month full of gorgeous crisp fall days. Chillier, but still sunny. I remember sweating balls underneath my Halloween mask, trying to grab whatever candy I could get. *sigh, what happened?

The trees up here are changing colors and it's so pretty in the sun, but today is just killing me because of the freezing air. I guess I had to know it was coming though, moving so far upstate. I'm just still not ready for it at all. If I'm like this during the fall, what am I going to do in the winter?! I'm just not going to be able to survive. I can see myself freezing to death. I'm going to be stuck in a glacier! Oh Horror!
