    Summer @ FL 

    Hello :)

    What did I learn from my first year of college? The feeling of losing someone. I never had someone really close to me die or leave me before. And, I am still connected to all of you guys through texts, aim, and facebook. So being away from New York doesn’t count. I realized that a lot of the people I am meeting, after they graduate, I will probably never see them in my life again. They will have to go serve the military, go back to their home country, well actually,…basically any where not short driving distance from New York City. I shouldn’t be thinking about it since its pretty depressing. But I guess you can say it’s part of life, so cherish every moment.

    WTF am I doing? I’m still in Florida and taking Summer A&B classes while working on campus.  I also changed my major to Safety Science but I will be minoring in Air Traffic Management! Still going to be an Air Traffic Controller! (hopefully!) which means I’ll graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Safety Science. How kickass is that? I recently went to a shooting range!

    Yeah… didn’t do so well. I am sure a ton of them did not even hit the paper. That’s about it, besides me slowlyyyy getting a bit darker every day. I am so going to get skin cancer.

    Please update what you guys are doing, cause I haven’t had the time to talk to anyone on AIM!

    Have a great summer & don’t forget sunscreen.

    Toodles <3

    How cold? 

    It is so cold that ROTC Air Force had to cancel PT.
    It is so cold that people are walking around in their peacoats.
    It is so cold that it was sunny, but 30 degrees this morning.
    It is so cold that I have to carry hand-folded tissues.
    It is so cold that black people got the strings in their hoodies srunched up.

    CLIMATE CHANGE!!
    :(

    “my tongue dances behind my lips for you” flyleaf 

    Hi everyone!

    I’m suppose to be writing my “rhetorical analysis” right now. I can barely write my own essay and now I have to analyze someone else’s! :(  Work is definitely starting to pile up, with tests and projects and essays all approaching at the same time along with club meetings. What definitely does not help is hearing cars zooming around in circles all day. The daytona nascar stadium or whatever it’s called is literally right next to the university. There was a “Rolex24″ race last week, which went on for 24 hours i believe. Some race going on right now. “Daytona 500″ next week. hooray for a stadium full of drunk rednecks.

    I will be staying here for the summer as well. Next summer too. :( Which means I won’t have time to get my driver’s license until I graduate. <– so gonna get made fun of. “WHAT? I got my permit when I turned 16!” <– everyone here.

    I can’t wait till Spring Break! Weather here has been awesomeeee, sun burning on my legs while walking to class. A week of tanning wooooooooooooot!

    People here are always complaining about the food, which I love. So this semester, they made it even better. Well for the others, its “ohkay” now. AWESOME should be the word. Some people here needs to like eat my Grandma’s cooking for 16 years. Buffets should be banned. People don’t finish what’s on their plate because they get greedy and take a lot of food. No one seems to appreciate what they are eating anymore.

    I wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day & Happy Chinese New Year! It’s the year of the tiger btw. Anyone gonna be home for that? Hope the snow will be all melted by then! Goodnight :)

    **Law Abiding Citizen is a great movie!

      im gonna agree with karen

    • Jenny Yuan 6:17 pm on February 8, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      BABY K! oh how i’ve missed youuuu, we need to talk more. haha i don’t even have my permit yet, so it’s okay! I think i might get it over the summer. speaking of which, why isn’t anyone coming home for the summer?! I’m going to quite sad and lonely without you guys :( My food is pretty much the same, but I have to use up all my money, which I don’t think is possible unless I stuff myself everyday with food (something I really don’t want to do)
      When’s your spring break??

    Snowed in. 

    Hey guys
    It’s Debbie here at Penn with Judy and Karen. They came to visit yesterday afternoon and we were supposed to leave today on Bolt at 2:30PM but NOPE. I got an email this morning saying our bus got cancelled. I called my dad and he said he’ll pick us up tomorrow or whenever the snow dies. Sigh, it’s going to be a while. It’ll be ridiculous if I end up going home Monday, aka a week after my last final. We toured around my campus yesterday and watched Jersey Shore haha. Today, we had brunch (yum) and went to Center City to shop for a little bit. We were planning on going to Pat’s and Geno’s for cheese steaks, but it was still snowing like crazy and we were tired. Now, we’re back in my room. Judy’s napping. Karen’s texting? We’re about to order chinese take out. It’s STILL snowing! What the hell??

    i love eggs 

    On campus, there’s this asian guy that would zoom pass by on his skates. Now a lot of people are starting to get them. It’s called free line skates. http://www.freelineskates.com/FREELINE/website/index.html

    youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgh0sqGacnU&feature=related

    It’s pretty neat cause you can just throw them into your purse. Its $150!! we should all get them, and get real good, and then take over that skating park at owls head park!

    Egg + Microwave =

    Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get. 

    *This is gonna be really long.

    I compiled a list of wise tips!
    1.  Don’t send your packages back home.
    2. Don’t sit in a big 8-person round table when it’s just you and one other person, even if it has a great view of the tv. Strangers invite themselves.
    3. Check the inside of the washer for clothes before you pay for it.
    4. Only sit on your own bed.
    5. Never ask about someone’s religion.
    6. Foil in microwave = mini lightings and flashes and *zaps*

    This place was giving away leftover cheesecake. But in order take one, i had to take a free yo-yo.

    It’s a square.

    —Pictures of the shuttle launch shall be posted soon.—
    I wish you guy’s were here to watch it with me. It something you must see before you die.-touchwood-

    Food:
    I have a green container so whenever I go to the buffet, I can fill it up with aaaaanything.

    My friend took me to this Chinese market in Orlando so I got to stock up on asian snacks :) My second ramen, it said seafood. YEAHHHH RIGHT. I got half a pound of cha-siew too! And those are fried fishcake balls.

    Photo0084Photo0088

    I don’t think we have this in the North. The South has KFC too but Chick-fil-a is the “healthy” version. They use peanut oil. It’s part of my meal plan too, so i guess i can say its “free”. Every Sunday is icecream sundae day. woooooooot! They buy legit icecream too. No america’s choice fake ones.
    Photo0045Photo0085

    **This all happened outside my door. They were even facing my door towards the Peep hole.**

    Basically…

    Boy A is drunk and comes into my room. He uses the Listerine from under the sink and gets it all over the sink and floor and my pink rug.

    -One o’clock-

    Boy B and Girl A fucks in Boy B’s bathroom.

    Boy B comes out with congrats from the Boys.
    Girl A is found in bathroom with vomits all over, pant-less, Unresponsive.

    RA and other people were notified.

    Police found alcohol in Boy B’s room.
    Police: Have you ever been arrested?
    BoyB: no
    Police: Turn around face the walls hands up.
    -Boy B does it-
    Police: Just kidding.

    Boy A gets sent to the hospital too.

    Someone rats Boy C out for having his brother’s ID to get everyone alcohol.

    Boy C got written up.
    Girl A lost her full-ride scholarship from ROTC.
    Boy B might as well quit ROTC, no chance of ever getting a scholarship.
    idk about Boy A.

    Half the people i know can’t afford college if it weren’t for their rotc scholarship.  :/ I think they have PE at like 5:30 in the morning. That’s crazy.

    My roommate&I really wanted to go out in the hallway to see everything because putting our ears against the door and taking turn looking through the peep hole got tiring. “go back to your room, clear the hallway!” so we slipped that under the door. the cops were still there so our friends said not yet. :(

    Photo0080

    THE END.

    I hope you guys are having the blast of your life. It’s gonna be just like high school, college is gonna zoom right pass by. Send me random texts please. :) Just not picture of dogs. My whole floor knows i’m shit scared of dogs now because some bitch took their dog to school and was walking it on campus while I was walking with someone and he told EVERYONE. So much for being in a safe dog-free environment. :(

    MISS ME? – Karen 

     

    Hey guys! First, I really miss you guys!! It’s a whole new world here, new people, new food, new weather, new everything, but I still have you guys! :)

    The YUMYUMS:
    On the first floor of my dorm is the buffet, LOL. So far at campus I’ve eaten: pasta with some white sauce and chicken, chicken noodle soup, apple juice, cheese and brocoli quiche, lots of tater tots, fake eggs, fried fish, string beans, more pasta with white sauce, pound cake, honeydew,something mex wrap, hotdogs! The food is pretty awesome here! – Edited 12:21 Aug. 23.- I had four meals left, the latest i can use it is 11:59 every saturdays. The only store open was Enstein Bros Bagels. I now have 4 packets of tea, Organic Green, Hot cinnamon spice, Organic Peppermint, and English Breakfast, yay! and 2 White Chocolate Strawberry Muffin and a Blueberry Coffee Cake. Who wants??
    Pics to be posted.Photo0022

    Break the ice!:
    There’s madd icebreakers during the orientation! We we’re in a big gym, and everyone had to seperate themselves into 12 groups, by birthday months. It was chaotic but fun! Then we stood in a circle shoulder to shoulder tight, turn around, and everyone slowly had to bend down and sit on the lap of the person behind them…super awkward…the guy in front of me was six feet tall and big. Not the best feeling in the world. Then we had to do it the other way again but this time, while sitting, everyone had to walk in a circle too. Not the best feeling in the world, especially while sitting on a strangers crotch. But I met a guy whos first thing he said to me was “DO YOU LIKE TRANSFORMERS?” The start of a beautiful bond. Another part of the icebreaker, was to get back into the same month group again…and then say all the names you remember. Super fail. T_T Mostly cause 75% of the names I can’t pronounce.

    There was an event last night called Survey Saids, which is exactly like family feud the stage was all set up like it too with the buzzer and everything. They had questions like top sports played by 10 year olds, Favorite cereal of college students, and top diseases that prevents college students from going to class. <– The first answer was HIV LOL. Another question was “top game shows on tv” and my team said Family Guy. -_______-

    There was a Frat/Sorority BBQ today, they had this kickass ride. You sit on it then you pull and push on this lever kind of thing and you spinnn like crazy! At night there was a Comedy Show with Rob Stapleton and Hasan Minhaj, super awesome! A lot of Rob’s joke were about NYC, which made me miss New York even more.

    Karen’s Florida Animal Collection:
    There’s this bridge i walk across to get back to the dorm, every afternoon theres these bug idk what its called but it sounds like “nasp” . I literally walk into a whole generation of them and it hits my face all the time! :(

      Mostly cause 75% of the names I can’t pronounce. <– I MISS THIS ALREADY because you always spit every time, just like you trying to say Swarthmore.

      Glad you enjoy the food though, no more watermelon soup and tasteless cucumbers again right? Watch your freshman 29304923904 though now that you're getting so much good food.

      I think the bug you're talking about is wasps btw.

      Miss you a ton (:<3

      Karen, reading your post has made me super hungry…I’m coming over ;D Man, sounds like you’re starting the Freshman 15 already, but no worries, you’re Karen Zhao…you don’t seem to put on any weight no matter how much you eat.

      I think I would be running like crazy if I had to cross that bridge every time with the wasps! =/

      Have funnnn, and I miss you
      P.S. Would you like some red velvet?? LOL
