Finding happiness/comfort within

So I just looked over this post & realized that the title has pretty much nothing to do w/ what I wrote in here (or barely) but I guess that's the main thing that's going on in my life now other than school. Just a heads up for you.

In the last few weeks:

- Over thanksgiving we met a father & daughter new to the family friend gatherings. I introduced myself & the dad (who is Chinese too) said, "oh, so you're still in high school right?" & when I told him I was quite a bit older than that, he apologized & said he only thought that because I "looked so little" hahah

- I bought the one of the warmest comforter I've ever slept w/. It was pretty expensive but I still got 40% off the original price soo I'm sure it'll earn its worth for the upcoming years

- One day a few weeks ago (AKA before it started snowing) it was raining & I was walking to work. On main campus it stopped raining so I went to fold in my umbrella. Little did I know that my finger was over the button to eject it still so when I took my hand off to put it in my backpack it flew up & I got umbrella face slapped. A girl saw & laughed. I win. (:

- I'm slowly taking the baby steps in the right direction for me. At least I think so, this semester has been really interesting, full of change, & a bunch of emotions. It hurts now but hey, no pain no gain, right?

Even still, I wish that it was easier to make tough decisions (go figure, I know) but I guess we all can't progress if we don't go through life w/o a few bumps in the road to do what's best for the long run & not just the short.

It still sucks. But I'm trying to be positive, brownie points? ehhh? I really could use some (:

- Anyways, one practical & one final down, one practical & six more finals to go until freedom for a few weeks. I'm ready...maybe not for all of my exams just yet, but I'm ready for them to be over. But no worries, I've learned this year how to cram like a pro so hopefully I can combine that w/ how I used to study in years past to make a killer test machine (hahaha I'm so lame.)
