A first for everything.

I had a liking to how the large fireworks picture looked in my last blog. I think I'm gonna start doing that instead of avatars.
It's been a pretty happy new year so far. I received my first phone call of the year from my girlfriend Sammie and we went out. I received my first "I love you" from my cousin Betty. Haha. That's kind of random but she suddenly told me it. I received my first hug from Hazel. Okay, Hazel's a stuffed hippo but I don't care.
I must comment though. The weather is shitty for it being new years. It's so cloudy. Though I don't really like sunny days as much as I like cloudy, I would've preferred some warmth for the new year.
With all these new years firsts, I had my first kick ass dream of the year. I had a dream that I was sharing an apartment with Sammie and Betty. The apartment looked too good to be an apartment your average UC student would get though. It was gorgeous. It was so homely too. There was even a fireplace and an open backyard. Okay, maybe it wasn't an apartment but I believed it to be one in my dream. I'm guessing we attended some UC and I had a sense it was either Davis or Irvine. The only other real thing I remember was a knock at the door and our boyfriends were there .. And we took a stroll in the city which seemed to look more like New York City than any other place I would imagine. I don't know, it was just so much fun.
I woke up this morning after that dream thinking "Will I really be able to attend a UC for fall of 2009?" I've talked about it several times before. I don't really have anything else to add but that going to a UC will hopefully show more freedom and happiness on my face. I hate being dragged down being restricted on so many things. Right now, one of my bigger fears is just not getting accepted to any UCs meaning all these classes are basically useless. What would motivate me to work if I didn't get accepted? Haha.
On the other hand, I haven't had a dream about going to community college yet. It's a smart idea I know but I just don't want to stay in fear I'm still gonna be restricted. I look at my older siblings now and they even look like they're restricted. They're freaking old enough to do for themselves really. I don't hate my parents don't get me wrong. I love them very much. They just need to relax. But I never thought about it hard enough to realize it until now. If I just endure for maybe a year and a half focusing on the courses I need, I can transfer can't I? I never seriously thought about it. Transferring is good too right? I just need patience for another year.
In my AIM profile, I keep looking at my goal to enjoying my school year. I really feel like I have messed up so many times already to truly enjoy it. It's basically halfway through the year already. Time flies by too freaking fast when you're a senior. The days are long I know but the months go WHEW.
My parents don't like spontaneous. I'm sorry guys :[.
There's drama in my family. Usually my parents are never really that involved with them but these problems can't be ignored. My direct cousin from my dad's side and my direct cousin from my mom's side are gonna get married. Yeah, it's odd right? Let's just say Vu's mom and my mom were matchmakers. They're not really related though so it's fine. It's just funny how my family will probably know everybody at the wedding. Anyways, seems like the female, Thao, is really rude and it's causing problems with whether or not my cousin Vu should even consider marrying her or not. I probably shouldn't go deeper into that matter. Than there's my nephew who's getting out of hand. He's becoming a really bad kid. The kind of kid who is rebellious and lets their friend take control. He's only a freshman and I just don't know how he's gonna get through high school or even life with the way he's already acting. I hope he gets his act straight. He might get transferred to my school since his parents feel his friends at his school are not good people.
So I ask .. How was YOUR new years so far?
As The Clock Strikes Midnight..
A New Chapter Appears

Oh, what memories have been made for 2008. I will surely miss it. It feels as if 2009 is going to be pretty tough. Not only is graduation getting closer but college acceptances and such will be mailed home by March. I am scared shitless. There's also so many things that I have regretted in the past year. Things I had a chance to do but never got to. I am not blaming anything for why I wasn't able to do whatever but I can assure you there were reasons where I felt obligated. I shouldn't feel obligated anymore. Take a risk, Veronica.
Now I'll list a few memorable things that happened in 2008. I don't think I'll remember everything, but I'll give it a shot and add more when I remember. Some are probably really lame but it's special to me okay 8O!?
