Hello from Lando!

Hi, my beautiful ladies! I have successfully finished my first week of school.
JEEZ.

School is...school. I'm *kinda* excited about senior year, but not really. Haha. Apparently IB is complete hell this year, and added with college apps and extracurriculars, I'm prepared for a wholee lotta breakdowns.
I tell myself though, just one more semester, and I'm free (well, kinda). If other people can do it, so can I! I try to give myself motivational boosts. Sometimes it works and sometimes it just utterly fails.

ANYHOO.

My summer was fantastic. I did an internship at NBA China in the business development/marketing department and absolutely LOVED it. It was just the atmosphere I wanted. People there were so worldly, so motivated and just smart! I loved everything about Beijing. Yeana, I was also thinking about studying International Law...I want to study international ANYTHING, really. I kind of even want to be a diplomat in the future.
Idk, my time in Beijing just really opened my eyes. I can't really explain it. I'm going to have to in my personal statement, because I want to incorporate my experience there in my college essay. I just need to find the right angle...and the right words to express it. *sigh*

So Land O' Lakes is realllly boring. I'm kinda sorta looking for a boyfriend too. I actually met this really cool guy at band camp. He's one of the instructors, but mainly helps me with my conducting. He just graduated and goes to a nearby state university. He was drum major of his band too, and is a FANTASTIC conductor. I'm very lucky to have him help me! I just had a great time with him at camp; he's so down to earth and cute! Hehehe. We'll see how things go with him...

Alright, in response to y'alls posts...

Yeana, I am deeply sorry that you hurt your ankle. :( Is it getting better?? It must suck to miss out on you senior season, but I think you should stay with the team anyway, even if it is to be just manager. You've put so much hard work into volleyball in these last few years that you deserve to stay on the team...even if you're not on the court. However, I wish you a speedy recovery and that you miraculously heal before the season starts. Don't lose hope!! I'm glad that you had a good time at Stanford, btw. :D

Tracy, I miss you so much. I know you need your time, but I reallly want to help you. I feel useless when you're going through all these problems and I'm just sitting here, doing nothing. Please talk to me if you ever need to. Really. <3

Rosanna, your initiative in your extra creds are going to SHINE in your college apps! I envy your passion. As for the friends issue...be friends with who you WANT to be friends with, not just those who you feel like you SHOULD be friends with. If you truly trust someone, tell them. People are people. Though I do find traditional students a bit less mature than the IB students in our school, if you have found a genuine friend, then it doesn't matter what classes they take.


As with me, I am just taking one day at a time. I'm realllly stressing about college. I desperately need to start working on my essays. How far along are you guys, btw? It's only August but I feel so behind, haha.

Blahh. I've been psycho these days. Summer was too short.

I miss you guys terribly. :(

Write soon!
