Well those are my goals, and I'll have more later.-11:05AM

Alright, finally the update on everything. Over the summer I've been spending the whole of my summer in korea. It was a great time finally having a life again, except that everyone was busy doing stuff so I didn't get to see everyone as much as I wanted. But oh well, as result, I was forced to also do stuff. Over the summer I've been improving my korean and taking kendo.
After a much too early goodbye, I headed to colorado to meet up with my brother and take our road trip over to troy so I could keep his old car.
I find that I do not like big city driving at all.
And so I returned here, got settled in my new dorm, which has an amazing amount of privacy, I can go for weeks not knowing of the existance of my roommate, if we didn't try to talk to eachother once in a while. I hope to get visitors some times here. One thing I find difficult is keeping up my kendo practice. The roof in my room is too low and I have to wait a couple to weeks to see if the gym will let me practice there. I have been doing it outside, but it'll get difficult when the weather gets cold(that'd be hard core), and also occasional passerbyers like to laugh at me.
Well classes have started, I think I'm still stuck in last semester because I'm lazy as hell this week. All my classes are looking good except for writing but I guess we'll see how things go. This year i think I'll do okay though. I'll be sure that I won't be late for any class this year.
Well we'll see what comes up later.-4:56pm
Here's a new one by the way:

man, I've got to hand it to alex. That was a really good one,and yeah it's true, I haven't been drawing for a while. Mainly because I don't want to reinstall my software again but yeah. If there's any time when I start drawing it'll be when I move in back to school. Until then, we'll see if i change anything.-6:51pm

Has it already been a month? Suddenly the vacation is slipping away very quickly. But I havean't written anything here in a while so I think I'll start up. So about since last week, I started taking a college korean language course and kendo. The days have become very full as a result, but time is slipping fast yet again.
The language class is cool becase it's very laid back and I seem to be getting along with my classmates despite our not speaking the same language(except of course, korean, marginally). To be more precise, I'm getting along well with the japanese girls in my class. The few guys in my class aren't really the kind I can connect to, it's probably very weird for me to say this but they're too "guyish." Though I'll admit they're fun, I don't really find them to be the kind I'd try to be with outside of the classroom. To be more precise, I don't think i can really seek any of them outside the classroom. But well, I know we're all going to go back to whatever country we came from once the session is over, and it's very likely that we won't ever talk to eachother again. But that's kind of the mutual feeling all people have during a summer program.
Meanwhile, with kendo I'm getting a decent hour and thirty of good excercise and discipline. It's almost a very meditating activity because while I'm there, I'm free of all thoughts except how to improve my sword swings. I wonder if I could bring myself back to that kind of state of mind when I go to church. It's amazing how focused a grunt worker I am. Almost reminds me of the work party.
Lately I've been in minor concern. I only see my high school friends once or twice a week, an I almost never talk to people from RPI. I almost feel torn between all the ties I have with the people I know everywhere: what about my high school friends, when am I going to talk to rpi people, what will become of my current classmates. Its a sobering thought once in a while, but I don't agonize over it like as I did in RPI. I just really don't know what to think of it, or what I can think about it. I would put myself under more distractions, but that just keeps me weak. I find that I'm stronger when I'm with people, unfortunately the summer has been mapped out to make it inconvenient to be with people. It's an unfortunate fate but I guess all I can do is wait to see what comes.
I hope everyone's doing okay, I don't know what anyone is doing anymore. Not even my high school friends who are all at work far far away from me. All I can do is keep on living, and hope time doesn't get too far ahead of me.-9:48PM

So now the times catch up with me and I begin to realize my life problems once again. No matter where I stay, I seem to be lacking something in my life: at RPI, I lack a social life while I am thriving in my material life(school). At home, social life is great, I love my friends, but in the mean time I don't do anything else worth while. It seems that eversince high school's been over, I havean't lived a very full life. At this point all my friends have gotten jobs or internships and in the meantime I'm reading comic books or watching anime all day. The obsticle of illiteracy here will be solved at the end of the summer. But these are mere mediocre concerns of mine. It is hard to keep major concerns in the summer; but there are plenty from school that will come sooner or later.
If there's one thing that's changed me this summer, it's my clinging onto the past. Going back and seeing a lot of old things this summer in a way, repulsed me. After going to my old youth group or seeing some familiar faces at my high school or meeting some people I havean't talked very much for a year, I felt like it was time to give up. It wasn't worth keeping tabs on people I would've liked to have known better or could have been friends with because it's just past my time now. It's too late for those kinds of things, too late for those things here anyways. I really can't keep clinging on to people so I can barely be remembered, or remember what people used to be. It's a very sad realization and I wonder how big an impact it will become when I come back to college. Will I have been desperately clinging onto people there?
And so I wonder what my college life will become next year... I really wish I didn't have a roommate, even if no one would visit me if i didn't. I don't think I can have the same luck as last year. But then again, my circumstances yield better chances of not running into male trash, that is of course unless my roommate turns out to be male trash. It is unfortunate that my school seems to have a surplus of male trash(trashy inconsiderate guys who have unreasoned prejudice and look at women like meat, stupidity is another common trait) and I hate them to no end. It would be impossibly good if I had no roommate an there was no male trash on my floor. I hold extreme concern for my friends who are girls, there is so much trash out there in the world it scares me to death. It's too bad that susan questions her return for next year. Though it it is important for her to be somewhere where she's happy, it makes all her friends very sad to know they she may not come back :(...
And lets see... another big question for my site is where are the cartoons? It's true, a lot happens with me these days, not a lot of different things, but things at the least. I think It'll be a while till I pick up the pen again, probably when school starts up again. Meanwhile, I'll be doing wacky things like staying out after 12, bleaching my hair, going to bars and such(I am legal). But we'll see... I'm starting to think about my life more often now so things might pop up more often on this site. I hope you're all having fun.-10:12PM
