My judgement in wearing clothes? Mindless.

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

Easy, eat a 255 pound burger at Mallie’s

I believe it’s a part of life to have some failures in life, so my answer to this is yes. Of course the result of this was feeling nothing but disappointment, but what can you do? You try so hard for something and it doesn’t work the way you had planned. During previous experiences with failure, I had given up. I had no desire to try again or to plot out a different strategy. So along with my plans for before, my goals just died along with them.

As a college student now, I know this is not an acceptable way to think. If you give up you will get absolutely nowhere in life. Giving up equals living a mediocre life, and who wants that right? Everyone wants the best for themselves, so why not branch out past wanting. Why not branch out to actually doing?

I won’t lie, I’m doing average in university right now. The reason? I’m a slacker, and it wasn’t until a month ago that I started trying my best. Last semester I got by with pulling bullshitted papers out of my ass the last minute. Luckily for me that semester I always got As on them. But this semester is much much different. I realize that I can’t get by with just average work, I have to bust my ass every single minute of my life if I want to succeed. It’s a hard mindset to keep, because with those failures comes discouragement. You just have to learn how to pick up your broken pieces and rebuild, and most of all……..

take baby steps because taking it slow is perfectly okay.

If you were a steak, you’d be well done ;D ba da boom!

Today I went out with my friends and two new Korean exchange student friends. Well, majority of the day we drove across town to find any open Japanese and Korean restaurants….and apparently the only restaurants open on Sundays here are steakhouses (which I don’t have any issues with because I am quite in love with food).

We got onto an interesting topic. Since my new friends are new to the country, they were invited to a university party. One of the girls (her name is Tweety, cute eh?) said some American guys went up to them and said “FUC* YOU, GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY.” I mean, how ignorant can a person be? Not only do they make America look bad, but that’s just awfully shit*y. Tweety, the outgoing girl she is told them “fuc* you”. I would’ve said more than that (in my mind of course), but It’s just sad how low people can be.

(Don’t know why my cheek is black. I bathed today I swear!)

What were you doing?

You know Swedish girls are hot when they still look cute in facial hair. Love you Sandraaaa! Hahah

In my mind I honestly believe that with just a little love and compassion towards one another the world can become such a beautiful place to live in. Sadly not everyone in the world believes in this. When looking at the world in a realistic view, our human nature is flawed. All I can really see sometimes are people who are selfish, inconsiderate, conceited, bitter, and so on. I mean, just turn on your television. All those reports of wars, hatred, murders, addictions to technology, drugs, and etc. just screams how selfish and inhumane we can be.

But then I remember the very wonderful selfless people out there that dedicate their lives helping people. I have chosen to look up to them, and take this path in life to join them. I’m not sure when or where I will start, or even how I will start..but I do know I will fulfill my duty as a person to help my family that is the world.

I mean, It has always been in my nature to help people. But what really inspired me to help people was a project I did last year. On Christmas Day a friend and I went to a homeless shelter and made the families there a Christmas Dinner, as well as buying all the children Christmas gifts. Just seeing their faces light up in such a sad environment was so heartwarming, I knew from that moment I had to do more.

(one of the children at the homeless shelter last Christmas, his house had burned down and he had lost all of his prized possessions)

What I really want to do is join the Peace Corps or do mission work. I don’t want to just dedicate a few weeks of my life helping people, I want to make it a permanent duty of mine. The downer is when you’re in the Peace Corps you have 27 straight months of being outside of the country away from your family. Also, who knows where you will end up, and who knows how safe your location will be. (Just in the past few years 1000 or so, (yes one THOUSAND) women who had joined the Peace Corps were raped by locals in the country they were staying in). I’m terrified of something like this happening to me, but what can we do really? If we let fear get in our way then what will we ever accomplish?

Luckily though, I have found a wonderful program called Next Generation Nepal (http://www.nextgenerationnepal.com//) They help children in Nepal whose families have been deceived into giving their children up, along with coughing up their life savings. The families were given false promises that, if they gave their children away, their children would have a better life and an receive an education. Sadly, these families’ children end up being taken from their parents to be trafficked, later becoming slaves or sold into orphanages. What the people in this organization do is to go into Nepal and find these children, and walk through the mountains searching for their families. There are at least 400 families looking for their children. These people do not rest until each child is returned home safely.

I hope to join these people one day, to help those who truly need it.

Alright, so after a long time procrastinating I have decided that I want to explore the world of film and photography. I’ve always had a strong liking towards indie films and the many creations those on youtubers make. One person that comes to mind is Natalie Tran, I just adore this woman. She’s absolutely hysterical, and she makes those embarrassing, awkward moments we have hysterical. As for indie films, I just admire how simple things end up having a much larger meaning at the end of each film.

Moving on to the point. I’m wanting to invest in an HD point and shoot digital camera (there is no way that I can afford any SLRs anytime soon) so I’m just wondering if any of you have any suggestions? I think the highest I will go is maybe in the $200-$300 range. (After all I’m a strugglingish university student with God awful work hours). As for the filming, I could probably deal with $700s. I know I know, I probably won’t be able to find any HD camcorders worth a damn in that range, but I’m experimenting (just like the college girls in dorms ;D)

Anyways, suggestions would be wonderful!

Around last week I was sitting outside my professor’s office, during the time a woman waved at me enthusiastically and asked me how I was doing. Taken off guard I told her I was doing well, and asked her if she was doing well too. Then she went on her marry way…now obviously she acted if she knew me. I just can’t exactly say that I remember this woman, my mind is all jumbled up with confusion.

Then today, sitting inside my university’s library I see her walking outside, she saw me and stared at me…for quite a long time. She started to wave, and I waved back. I am slightly uncomfortable with this. Maybe it’s because I was stared at by a woman I don’t remember(know) but I really want to know how she knows me.

Does this ever happen to you guys? Do you feel awkward in these situations as well? I’m basically the type of girl that doesn’t like to address awkward situations. Nor do I want to be rude and say, “yeah uh ma’am..I totally don’t know who you are.” I just feel not only rude, but bad. Like, obviously I made a good impression upon this mystery woman. I don’t want to revoke that and not remember her. I guess for now I can just bring out the Nancy Drew within and do some investigating.
