I Left My Heart in Palo Alto
Hey all! I haven't updated in a while because i've been kind of busy and a little lazy all at the same time =D. Basically i've moved back to Seattle for some more schooling at the UW for my undergrad studies =D...my new room is SO much better than my last one in the dorms. It's pretty ridiculous how the two contrast to each other. My last year room was a small ass hexagon shaped room with a roommate and no carpet. Now I have a kitchen, two chairs, a shower i don't need flip flops for and MY OWN ROOM! My room is so much spacier than last year's room it really isn't funny =/. it's a basic looking college room but i haven't been IN a normal college room for so long.
My dad and i drove teh car up from Palo Alto to Seattle in a day too! I have Nicole's old car *the 93 Honda* to carry my butt around the city and campus. It was a cool ride despite being so long. I really didn't have a problem just taking naps and looking at the beautiful scenery. Northern California wasn't too exciting and it didn't look very pretty. Oregon on the otherhand is a BEAUTIFUl state. The trees and the scenery, even from the highway, is very pretty. My dad and i even dropped by his old school, University of Oregon =D. I checked out the campus and it looks like Stanford a little bit *prolly because of the trees*. It looked nice but the surroundings of UoO *University of Oregon* look like crap. Before passing UoO my dad and i drove by Eugene, Oregon *the birthplace NICOLE CHEN. Nicole is the middle child of the soon to be Chen Dynasty of the wealthy. It was funny to drive by a small city where i know my family resided in. My family actually lived in Eugene, Oregon around 5-6 years before i was born =D *simplier times*. The entire trip took 14 hours and 870 miles of driving =D.
I'm having a lot more fun at the UW and less stressed out than last year. I've been keeping up with my studies a lot better than last year. I've simply been working harder and longer with a great attention span which dwarfs last year's mentality. I contribute my boost in determination to Lisa because i see her working so hard all the time i figured i should too! I'm totally serious too Lis and your name came up in one of my chinese textbooks! I've gone to a few parties too on the weekends which helps me loosen up a little. I usually drive to these events since my apartment is pretty far away from the event locations so i never drink duhh. It's worth a Class C Felony *i think* on my record and increased insurance rates just to have a swig of barf tasting water.
I'll hopefully get some pictures online later but i need to go buy a new connector because i believe i left mine at home. I left a few wires at home and it's really bothering me...maybe i'll ask my dad if he has seen them around...take it easy all!

Thx, school is going well except that 2nd year Chinese is just giving me tons of headache. I don't really have time or the mental capacity to study all the time for this class and i have other classes. it's a little frustruating that's all. The car is doing well =D, i still keep those 2 stuffed animals on the windshield =D. Can't wait till winter vacation =D
