I was this close to Matt Leinart

Yesterday after I got out of my Diversity and Racial Conflict class, there were a lot of people gathered around the track field. I guess you can’t really guess who was there because I already sort of told you–but the USC defense and offense were practicing on separate sides of the field. And you could see Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush throwing and catching… stuff they’re good at.

Anyway, I whipped out my cameraphone and snapped a shot. It’s not very good, but the guy in the yellow jersey is Leinart. There were girls swooning and fainting all around me. It was hard getting back to my dorm in that mess.

So like last week when I was hanging around Dan and Sun’s room (no not mine), Dan pointed me out to this site. It’s the ACOUSTIC NINJA! And he makes me cry. He’s so good.

Among my favorites are the two clips “Dueling Ninjas” and “Hot Capo Stew.” Man… I would do almost anything to play like that. But for now, I’ll have to settle for GCDC. =(

And So It Begins…

Right now, I’m sitting alone in my dormitory. And it dawns on me.

Thanks Roy for the ride from church. I’ve already been out of Maryland for just a little over a week now. But I haven’t ever really thought about college actually starting. I remember people asking me how it was going. And I would always reply that things were going too fast for me to really comprehend what was going on. Before I moved in, I was busy with family. When I moved in, I was busy going to all those USC events that help students get acquainted to the school and meeting new faces. And this past weekend I stayed over at Tiffany’s (Karthik, she’s my AUNT) house and then there was church.

But school starts tomorrow. There is no going back. No pause button to just take a breather. It starts… not right now, but very soon.

Whitney just left this note on the blog: “btw. mommy cried in the car when we left tiff’s house. and dad went straight to your room when we got home, opening all the drawers and everything. and summer can’t find you. she tried the basement.”

I’ve been wanting to go to USC for the past 3 years. And now that I’m here, I finally find out all that I left behind. Who can I trust now? Who can I turn to?

People, no matter how corny this sounds, know this: love those that you can love now, and don’t wait until later. People have always told this to me. And I never listened. You don’t comprehend it until you go through it yourself. You say, “Yeah, yeah. I know.” I said that. I didn’t believe it either. And now I do.

So now, although there are many that love me and I love them too, they are far away. There’s only One that is still very close. Here with me right now, actually. Thank You for always being there. I need You more than ever before.
