It's 2013.
Coming here is like coming home. I miss such a friendly environment with such stable friends. When things are in a whirlwind where I am at, I can come here and find a sense of peace. I've definitely done some growing up here.
I approach my second semester of my second year of college. I am both eager and apprehensive as to what this semester might hold. Outside of a impressive amount of music classes, after all I am a music major here at the community college, I am taking Introduction to Philosophy and a psychology course on child development. All my math and English requirements are out of the way and I now focus on my social and physical sciences.
It has been such a shamefully long time since I have written anything, I do not know where to begin.
I am turning 20 (it's striking to think I joined when I was nearly 14 years old) and am preparing to transfer from my community college to a university with not only music (vocal performance) as my major but doubled major in Korean. I'm looking at UCLA and UC Irvine as my potential schools along with a few school in South Korea.
Last May and June I actually went to Korea by myself for a whole three weeks. Jumped on a plane and traveled and practiced the little Korean I knew. Most frightening, stupid, and wonderful thing I've ever done.
I have a boyfriend now. First boyfriend I've ever had. That's a exciting and frightening change. We've been together for a little over 6 months and I have no idea what I'm doing.
I miss literature. I have for a while only stimulated, if one could even call it thus, with youtube videos and facebook. I have come back here (hopefully for a longer stay) in order to remind myself of the importance of knowledge found in books and wise council. It's good to be home.
