here we are, phil and i, studying hard, yes i can study with my eyes closed, i'm that good
Lance and I. Have you ever seen 2 people so good looking? it's hard to believe. i know. whoa.
The end of the school year is rapidly approaching, and I'm left with a feeling of restlessness (a constant un-motivation to do school work and a deep deep laziness when it comes to just about all things), but also thriving in terms of social enjoyment, not ready to leave behind relationships that have meant the world to me for the past 3 years, 10 months, 6 weeks, or 3 days. In other words, it'll be incredibly hard to be in a new environment with a language barrier and not a whole slew of interesting peers who think and act and dress and speak like me. But alas, new adventures are always exciting, interesting, and necessary for growth. I'm sure this experience will be life-changing, and definitely worth putting relationships aside for a year. Cambodia! I am coming.
This last Sunday, Phil and I studied at Whitman library. And to say that we "studied" would be a fallacy, because my day consisted of sitting on the couch and watching people and squirrels pass by on the lawn. Conversation with Phil is never dull either. It was graduation day at Whitman, which meant good catering, and I did my best with my mooching skills, as we faked guests of graduates, and piled up our plates with fresh fruit, chips and salsa, and wraps. As a poor college student, scrounging for food and change, this event was surely blog-worthy! At my nearly 5 hours at Whitman, I accomplished about 15 minutes of studying. The library closed at 5, I went back to school, ate dinner with Jessica, went to Spring Jam from 6-9pm, went to coffee with Brian, Eddie, Serena, and Jess from 9-10pm, talked to Aletha, Abby, and Tiffany about their trip to Portland and Ben Gibbard's acoustic show, timed how long we could hold ourselves above the ground between the two walls with Jessica, and finally started my studies at midnight, and stayed up til' 2:30am studying for a test I had at 9am the next morning.
I just finished it. I think it went okay.

to my most favoritess blogger!! trina yeo!! live it up...I've been the same way lately...studying seems to be torture right now but the fun just keeps rollin. At least those are all memories your taking to heaven cause your not gonna remember anything from that test! I will miss you dearly next year trina and if you continue to blog....I'm your biggest fan :)
its always hard to leave a place you hold so dear in your heart, whether being there 1 day or 3 years. you definitely have accomplished so much and have come so far in your time up in the double walla, that you deserve to take a day to just be; instead of slaving over book after book after book losing yourself in the realm of school work and tests.
im sure cambodia is going to be another place where your heart will lie-if it hasnt already-and when that time comes to an end you'll find yourself restless and lazy in all aspects of life. i guess thats just how life is. i haven't had the experience of leaving home and going away to school or another country, so im not sure how the excitedness for me would be, but i can assure you that you're a beautiful soul/person and you have no worries ahead of you.
hopefully you'll be back to pismo sometime soon before you leave again-if you havent already-so i can have the pleasure of making memories with you. you have my number so call me if you can. if you dont have it anymore... myspace me and i'll give it to yah. take care trina and good luck!
