The (Sometimes...) Party Girl

I realized today that I made the right decision of taking only 4 classes this semester but those 4 classes add up to 15 credit hours. If I'm not doing my homework, I'm working. When I'm not doing any of those things, I'm organizing something and when I'm not doing that, I'm out partying. XD

I was out last Friday night and the Friday before that. It's nice to have something to look forward to during the weekends. I attended two housewarming parties and the ISA Welcome Back Party. One of my friends just moved off campus and they threw a party at their huge place and invited all the Malaysian students so the place was jammed packed.

I finally got the chance to have at least a decent conversation with this guy I know. He's a grad student from Kazakhstan and I met him for the very first time when he picked me up from the airport. Whenever I see him on campus, it's like a "Hi" and "Bye" thing which kinda sucks because despite the fact that I've known him for 9 months already, I don't know very much about him. And no, he does not talk like Borat but he being good-natured, he thinks it's a funny movie anyways.


I think it's just a temporary phase until everything and everyone else settles down into their regular routine. I've never seen myself as a party kind of person but recently, I've been enjoying myself just hanging out and talking with my friends. Also, parties are a great way to meet friends that you don't get to see a lot of the time.

Are you the kind of person who needs glasses to see? Well, I for one fall into that category. However, I don't know why people can't recognize me at times without my glasses. Especially Americans. I like to think that I look better and so far, I think, very few of my classmates have ever seen me without them.

I've been getting along fine with my classmates despite my earlier fears about going through classes like how I did last semester. Now, I even have consistent lab partners and even a homework group. It's nice to be able to discuss homework and stuff when you don't know how to do those questions.

We went to this old couple's house on Sunday for dinner and myself and another person went earlier to help with the preparations for dinner. It's so comforting to have home-cooked food and warm fellowship with these old couple that remind me so much of my adopted Aussie grandparents, Tom and Lois. This time, there were only about 14 of us there and out of that number, five of us were the only seniors.


I'm afraid to think of how many more people will attend the next few suppers because right now, we have over 100 Malaysian students here at Drake. :O
