so i know school's been out for me since April, but i haven't really had the time to really reflect about this year in loo.
there's just incredibly so much that i've learned in every aspect of my life, or just life itself.
living in res was one thing. being put in a house full of 50 ppl, living on a floor with 15 other girls - remembering our first EVER house meeting and meeting everyone for the first time, having first impressions on ppl...ppl have first impressions on me. hah. how those first impressions fool ppl.
..like when jenny siu first met me she thought i was a snobby gangster azn girl that goes to metro to play jitz all the time... ?!! this was after i asked her if i could borrow some toothpaste. again..?!! how is that snobby?! but we're cool now, obviously. and FYI she doesn't think i'm one bit snobby at all ;) ... pooj thought i hated her, cuz i wasnt talking to her during orientation cuz i was bored out of my MiND. lol i guess she took that personally. (cmon guys..this is uw frosh week..not UT..UW...oh the shame..and to hear this year was their best O-week..?!) but now we're "best bud-dies". and ruby. haha i thought she was the biggest alcoholic EVER. this girl put dreads in her hair using toothpaste. strange, yes. alcoholic? not so bad as i thought. irina, how i'm soo scared of her. but love her at the same time..out of fear. haha. (thers a story to go with that comment btw) ...then thers ali wong. i thought she was honestly the most popular person ever. she still is. lol. her phone would NOT stop ringing, and ppl would always be looking for her. (well that was only during like the first week, it died down a little eventually...hehe) and how can i forget. karen colaco, big cheeks karen. wut i thought of her i should refrain from posting on the World Wide Web. =0 ahah. but i love her to deathhh, her big hips and all- despite her many flaws. ;P
honestly. first impressions go so far - they might even prevent you from getting to know the greatest ppl God has put in front of you. well getting past those first impressions and relly getting to know each individual and who they were as a unique and identifyable (that even a word?) person was AMAZING. i met the most incredibly fun loving bunch of girls. *some i haven't mentioned like dee fletcher, ANJALI!, and kayla. we had tea parties in each others rooms, sleepovers, shower parties, dinners out, movies in, cried, laughed, shared and celebrated life together. its incredible how different we are..but at the same time..how strikingly SIMILAR we are in many aspects.
who you choose to befriend and live life with is up to you. stepping out of my comfort zone and getting to know ppl of different backgrounds/beliefs/goals/morals, rewarded me an open mind, respect for diversity, and a great fulfillness in friendship.
thanks for a great year
