It has been about three weeks since school started. The first week was horrible because I felt incredibly depressed, lonely, and homesick without really knowing why I felt that way exactly... But my friends have been throwing a party every weekend, which helped me get out of that slump! ^_^
Classes this semester are TOUGH. The subjects are foreign to me, especially photography and video art, so I especially need to work hard. I have the same professor for the two classes so I see her three times a week (in a row!) I always feel lost in her classes and it scares me. The problem is that her taste in art does not exactly suit mine, but I need to make it suit mine in order for me to pass with an 'A.' She likes photography and video art pieces that are quite disturbing and uncomfortable for viewers...it makes me want to cry. I admit. I like conventional art. What's wrong with liking things that are pretty?
People here can't tell Asians apart. I'm not offended at all - it's rather funny. Chelsie and I went to have brunch one day. The woman taking orders ignored me and talked to the person behind me. When she saw that I was still standing there, she asked me, "Did you want to order something else?"
I gave her my order and proceeded to wait with Chelsie at the end of the counter. After a few minutes, the woman came up to us and told us that she had made the mistake of canceling Chelsie's order and putting my order up instead because she thought we were the same person! (And trust me, we look nothing alike and dress differently.) It's no wonder she didn't initially take my order because Chelsie had already ordered! I overheard her telling the chef, "They look the same! The same!" My supervisor also occasionally makes the mistake of calling me Haylee (another Asian who works in the office).
In other news...things are finally starting to pick up. I'll be thrown into that super busy schedule again! Lu'au is coming up! Club activities too! Ah! And my new roommate will be arriving from Japan in three days! It'll be weird having a roommate again. People said that it's lonely without one, but I love it! Now I have to stop being selfish. XD

Regarding the art comment... I totally agree. I think some people judge art based on the impact or impression it creates on others whether good or bad... but since I'm already dealing with stress and disappointment all the time, I'd rather get a positive than a negative vibe from voluntary activities like enjoying art and photography.
