I had my first day of class today! My thoughts?
1. Spent waaayy too much on textbooks because I'm too lazy to research and find cheaper ones online
2. I think I'll love all my classes except Managerial Statistics. Ew.
3. Loooove my Korean teacher. She's adorable.
4. So excited to dance!!! (Contemporary dance that is)
5. Too much reading already! Ahh!! :(
I had a long talk with a friend the other day about the situation with my ex-best friend and my relationship with God. I have a lot to think about, and I'll keep you updated on any epiphanies. :)
I haven't eaten all day, so I'm going to go cook now.
I really love WashU.

My back hurts
I moved into my apartment today! I feel so bad for my dad. He's had to move all my stuff in and out of my dorms for the last couple years. And I have a lot of stuff. A lot a lot. I tried to cut it down this year. Pretty all that meant was I didn't bring the TV, which I suspect might be an artifact from the Stone Age.
You know what I hate? When you are sweaty and you go to shake someone's hand or hug them. Then your skin kind of clings to their skin (especially if they are sweaty, too) and you just know that your shirt is kind of moist in the back, and they can feel it if they hug you. And you just smile politely at each other. But you know you're both thinking the same thing: "gross..."
I know. Disgusting imagery in the previous paragraph. I apologize. I'm exhausted and feel that I should stop talking before I say something embarrassing like how much I like to lick my knees.
Bats always turn left when leaving a cave.

p.s. I don't really like to lick my knees. Promise. ^_^

Adventure
This was the most exciting event that happened to me today:
Kelly: "Blah blah blah marching band blah blah..."
Lisa: "Blah blah...AH SPIDER!!" (spider falls from the heavens and lands on laptop keyboard, quickly shoving its body under the keys. No hesitation)
Kelly: "AH!!"
Lisa: "I need to get it out! But I don't want to squish it and have dead spider under my keys for forever."
5 minutes later after hair clip, needle, and much poking...
Lisa: "I got it out! AHHHH!!!" (spidey crawls fast)
Kelly: "AHH!!! STOP SCREAMING!!" (grabs Kleenex and smashes spider against the ground)
Lisa: ".......where did it come from?"
Kelly: "I think it came from the vent......I think you have spider guts on your carpet now. I kind of freaked out."
So there you have it. I was laying there, minding my own business, and a spider falls from nowhere, lands on my keyboard, and tries to commandeer my laptop from within. FML
There is a spider called the Demodex folliculorum that lives at the roots of people's eye lashes. They are harmless and normal. To see them, take some eyelashes and dunk them in warm water. The spiders will crawl out.

Testing faith
My room looks like a tornado picked it up, spun it around a few times, and spat it back out. I'm in the process of packing to go back to school. And by "in the process", I mean it's so messy that I ignore it and blog instead. Sigh...
Anyway, I wanted to write about a recent hit my faith has taken recently. This summer I was pretty much betrayed by my best friend. She was also the person who brought me to Christ, and we had been besties since 6th grade. She's basically ignored me for the last 2 years since we came to college, and when I confronted her about it, she basically cut me out of her life.
Needless to say, it's really hit me hard. Outside my family, I trusted her the most. I had a really tough year last year, and I was already going through some trouble with my faith, and this has only made it worse. I don't really blame God for what she did, because I know that He doesn't control people's actions, but it kind of bothers me that He still loves her just as much as He loves me. What she did hurt me so badly, and even though I know I've sinned many times before, I have never intentionally hurt someone like this before. And if I were to, I'd explain why to that person and have a darn good reason for it. So I just kind of feel like, "Whatever God. You're darn good at loving, but that doesn't help me feel better right now."
I know it's selfish of me, and I should try to understand her actions, but I'm mad and hurt and cynical. She's cruel for doing this to me without even explaining herself, and she's a coward for cutting me out of her life and not allowing me to tell her how I feel. I'm really trying to forgive her, but it's hard. Especially since she probably doesn't feel that she did anything wrong. The only reassurance I'm getting right now is not coming from God. It's from all of my other wonderful friends who care about me. So thanks guys. I appreciate your friendship 100 times more than she appreciated mine.
Anyway, I'm trying to overcome these feelings, and I recognize this as a test of faith. This is the biggest roadblock I've hit so far, and I'd be a pussy if I couldn't get past it. :)
Sorry for the long rant. I had to let it out.

Marching Band
I don't know if any of you were in marching band, but I'm the biggest band geek that ever was. When I say band geek, I mean like band GEEK. I loved band camp. 100 degree weather, sweat pouring down my back, standing motionless on a grass field just waiting for the command to mark time. Hardcore.
I visited my HS band today. Sad. It's been two years and I still go back to watch every time I come back home. But my little sister is in band now, so I have an excuse to go. I felt like such a creeper talking to her friends and being like, "You don't know me, but I know YOU. *Wink wink*" They were magnificent, all 150 of them. And two of my band children were there, too, so it was nice to see them.
I wish WashU had a marching band. There's just nothing quite as connecting as band. After spending around 14 hours a week with people for 4 years, everyone knows each other better than they'd like to. I still haven't found anything in college that cements so many people together so closely yet. I really miss that comradeship, that competition, that power to control so many people with just a twitch of my hand (I was a drum major). I really miss trying to hit judges with my instrument during a competition in such a way so that it looked like it was the judge's fault, then getting pizza for it. Oh, and the music. How could I forget that? ^_^
What's the football team doing on the marching band's field?

Chinese cursing
My little sister, Kelly, and I had an intense conversation with my parents yesterday about cursing in Chinese. Kelly and I came to the conclusion that we are, from now on, going to literally translate Chinese curse phrases into English and use them instead of English. Why, you may ask? I feel bad using English curses, and I feel these are more appropriate for my religion. Kelly because she's weird and likes it. I used the romanized version of Chinese to make reading easier. These are some of our favorites:
Ni bu yao lian------You don't want a face
Bie Sun-------Turtle's grandson
Gou pi bu tong-------Dog fart blockage
Wang Ba Dan-------Turtle Egg
Xiao tu zai zi------Son of a rabbit
In China, turtles symbolize promiscuity.

I have no life
Hi all of you!! (Since you know I have so many people reading this ^_^)
So I'm not a particularly creative or interesting person, and my life is pretty boring, so I can't guarantee that this blog is at all worth reading. Really, the reason that I'm writing this is because I have no life. See, I follow a lot of my friends blogs, and due to my lack of life-ness, I obsessively check their blogsites several times a day to see if they have posted something new. Due to the fact that they DO have lives, of course they only post every couple days or so, which leaves me without even the pretense that I have something to do. So I'm going to pretend like I have friends and write to myself.
I'm just kidding. I really do have friends. The purpose of this blog, though, is really just to entertain myself. I'll just jot down interesting (or uninteresting) things that I notice about my days. And maybe some of ALL OF YOU (*cricket cricket*) can identify with me.
