Sigh...I can't believe this time has come again. Colleges have started and of course, Aye went back to UVA. I went to stay with her for about 3 days in UVA and came back yesterday afternoon cuz classes started yesterday. Now, I'm just pretty upset that we will have to stay apart for another year. *sniff sniff* And hopefully, we would be reunited this time next year. The room seems so empty without her stuff and I just feel weird all alone. I got back yesterday and came down to our room and tears started rolling. (We used to live together in the basement - the whole floor. And I moved up to my room last year when she left and then I moved back down somewhat during summer. So I have to move back up again.) I hate this feeling of loneliness. I feel like half of my body is gone or something. I'm really really missing her...I didn't think I would be this bad again since I have been apart from her last year but I guess nothing has changed. I still miss her a whole lot and it's tearing me inside. Yesterday was completely horrible. But I got to talk to her for about 2 hrs last night and it did me some good. But the feeling is still there...
Well, I don't wanna make this entry to be completely depressing. I did have fun with Aye these last few days in UVA. It was great! I got to experience the whole first-year student's experience. She moved back on Sunday, the 24th and I helped her as well. She is living in a single room this year and so she got the corner room and she's got 2 big windows that are overlooking a big green lawn, then the road and further down you can see the tennis courts and the Newcomb building. It's a great room - lots of sunlight and very airy. So we moved in (actually she moved in! Haha.) and other people thought I was moving in as well. They thought I was a first-year and introduced themselves and say hi. I told them I was just staying over with my sister but they still treated me pretty well. Aye got tidying up her new room in just an hour and we just chilled. She had to go to some hall meetings so I just stayed in her room and read Hamlet. I finished it too so that's a good thing. Wynn is a RC (Residential Coordinator) this year and she lives on the same floor as Aye. They only have one room between them. And since they are sisters, Aye's actual RC is on the other side of the hall. UVA wouldn't permit Wynn to be Aye's official RC cuz they're sisters. But yeah, so Wynn has this double-room all to herself along with her own bathroom. It's kinda funny cuz the women's bathroom is right in front of her room. But the luxury...haha!
We went to the Fun Fair as well. They were giving out free food and free things. It was just like a Grad Night, I guess. They had stations of casinoes, tattoos, riding the bull, car-racing, movies, etc. All three of us got armband tattoos. It's not just press-on, it's actual spray paint so that was really cool. Wynn got one with rose vines and a heart in the middle. That's what I wanted but she got that so I had to choose another design. But it turned out great cuz I got a much cooler one. Haha. I got one with blue and purple pattern and it went well with my purple top. Aye got a similar pattern like mine but it was red. The guy who was doing the spray paint has been doing it 20 years! Body-painting for 17 years and these little tattoos for 3 years. I was definitely amazed. He was good! We looked around the whole Newcomb building (4 floors) and had a great time. We wanted to try the bull but we were wearing skirts so we couldn't but right next to it, 2 guys started break-dancing. One of them looked like he played gymnastics. He did really cool moves! And ya know who he looks like? He looked somewhat like Colin Ferrell! Only the 2 of them were doing it without any music for about 10, 15 minutes and by the time, someone got them a boombox, they were beat. So that was it. We went back to the dorm after 11pm cuz we still needed to do a poster for the Activities' Fair the next morning.
So the Activities' Fair, which is for the first-year's, ran from 10am to 4pm in the Amphitheatre. We only stayed there till around 1pm but since it was right outside under the sun with no shade, we were dying!! It was unbearably hot! There were so many people there and everyone was sweating like crazy. But I met some Marshall people there too. I ran into Viola Chen, who I've never spoken to, and we talked for a while. She asked me about what teachers I have this year. I told her about Goodwin and she said she's the worst. So that wasn't too good. Kia Lam and AJ Frank stopped by too and we got to talk. I ran into Mike Dennis too. Since we didn't really know each other, we just walked by but he was surprised to see me there, I guess. Since he has seen me in school before and knew that I haven't graduated and yet I was there walking around. So that was funny. I also saw Sean McVey, Sam Barnes, Cliff Usher and Colton Turner walking around too. That was at another place. But it seems like almost the whole group of Quogue is in UVA. How convenient is that? Wow, there are so many Marshall people there. It made me wonder who will be there next year from our class. That's kinda crazy, isn't it? Wow, we're seniors.
So after the Fair, we had lunch and on the way back, Wynn and Aye stopped by the bookstores to buy books. And they gave me some of the loads to carry. And we were pretty far from the dorms and we had to walk back in the crazy heat carrying huge books on each side of the body. So I really got to experience the whole college thing. Haha. But it still was fun though. You got to be independent and you have so much freedom. I like the fact that all your classmates live so near to you and that you can spend so much time with one another which is unlike high school. I like the experience. It made me wonder about how it would be next year when all of us go to college. But before that, we still have senior year to have fun. I can't wait to go back to school to see all the familiar faces and the friendly voices. That would no longer exist next year when we are all separated from one another. I'm already getting a bit emotional so I'm just gonna stop it here. 4 more days till school starts. I gotta get to work on my hw. See ya later!
