life update

Here's a new year's resolution. I will use this blog and won't care about what people think I write or how badly I write. I will write to write, think to think, as an outlet of living.

Besides, I'm hoping none of you people read this blog since I haven't had a meaningful post in a very long time.

Coming back to school for Winter Quarter felt weird. Last year, winter break felt like eternity, but this year it felt like I just landed, and I was already waiting at the terminal to leave. (Speaking of which, Northwestern is starting EVEN LATER next year, which sucks because we end even later, but the good thing is that I think my winter break and spring will match up with Billy's and Eddies, and hopefully most other peoples!)

Winter break was nice though. The first week, I just bummed and chilled with my dad (which, sidenote: need to find a better way to chill with my dad). Second week, was family time in NJ. Hung out with my brother, drove to NJ and back because we forgot the Cheesecake factory giftcard, and went to the Cheesecake factory. Mom got my thermal pants/sweat, brother got me a silent mouse (for gaming, LOL)...and I ended up being the one with the new laptop since I have the most use for it. Spoiled, I guess, but it has come in handy very much.

The third week was hanging out with friends. Movies on top of movies with some spam and coke mixed in between. The Illusionist, Another Earth...

It was definitely nice to see everyone again. I'm always slightly jealous of people who have amazing college experiences, but what the hell. I would never wish my freshmen year on someone, so good for them.

Major-wise, I'm EE right now. All my suitemates have gotten internships over the summer except me. Sigh, even though I was always doing the bulk of the work in projects, I have nothing as of yet. The one that got the most prestigious internship was the one that went out drinking the night before we had our projects due. Sad life.

And I got a Kindle. I just need to find time to read though.

I think I'll put two main types of posts in my blog. Life updates and thoughts. Hello, 2012.
