• New friend.

  Today's the first day of classes for this fall semester, and just like last semester, I have an 8AM class Mon-Thurs again. Only difference is instead of Korean, I'm taking Intro to Chinese for Advanced Beginners. Aiming for that ezpz A, I guess, and this class is being taught in simplified Chinese, so it's not like I know everything already. I got to class 15 minutes early, so I was one of the first people there. I sat there, waiting for people to show up and for class to begin. There was a total of about 15 people in the class, half guys half girls I think? Anyway, a girl walked in and sat next to me. She introduced herself as Stephanie when we all had to take turns with introductions. There were two white guys and the rest were Asians -- mostly Cantonese speaking kids, a few Mandarin and one FJ. When the class ended, everyone stuck around because the professor asked us to individually meet with her briefly. Stephanie asked me a question about the textbook, and FOR SOME REASON, I decided to make small talk with her after answering her question. I usually keep to myself and shit, but I decided to make a friend today. Perhaps it is to confirm that I am not a socially awkward/shy person who can't make friends and that I am just a stuck-up bitch who doesn't talk to others unless she feels like it.  Stephanie and I got along pretty well, and we went from waiting for each other after class ended to grabbing lunch together. I even visited her dorm and met one of her roommates. We talked about a variety of different things, and I found that we have quite a few things in common. Apparently all the guys in our Chinese class are cute (according to Stephanie, anyway). I didn't really pay attention to any of them, just glanced at them as they were introducing themselves. There was this one guy who sat across from me that I paid a little bit more attention to, but that's cause he reminded me of Brian, ahaha. Then after lunch, she asked me if I wanted to go to the gym with her tonight and grab dinner, and I said sure. We parted ways at around 1:30 cause I had another class at 2. 

  My second class of the day was Intro to Computer Programming, which had a class size of 55 students. It's a small lecture hall, and the professor was relatively young. He seemed to be pretty chill and whatnot, but 2PM classes, yo. Right after I had a filling lunch. I found myself nodding off to sleep within 20 minutes of the class LOL :[ There was a black girl who sat on my left and a white guy who sat on my right, both of whom probably saw me sleeping... /SIGH And the black girl kept trying to initiate conversation with me, but I ignored her because she's blac-- JK (sorta) idk why I ignored her. I think computer programming is fun to learn, but also more challenging. I hope I don't fall behind in that class.  After class I went to the computer lab to print out syllabuses for my classes and then to the bookstore to rent textbooks. Then I went home cause it was humid as fuck and I was sweating balls, so I figured I should take a quick shower before heading back out to go to the gym. But after my shower, I have a missed call from Stephanie, and I still can't call her back. I'm in my PJs and comfortable as hell right now. Plus it's raining, so I think I will go to the gym with Stephanie tomorrow instead. I think this girl will make good company this semester. She will be my workout and study buddy. Cheers to me making a new friend!
