| memories, good or bad, are near impossible to kill. Numb things as much as you want, they'll still be there waiting for you when the high is gone and you're alone with your thoughts.

| Reasons its good to have smart parents:
1. *ideally* you inherit their genes and so you're not too stupid....I guess most people would say I prove this theory wrong but hey at least I have a relatively functional brain...i think.
2. They can always answer your academic questions even in college, beats trying to find a tutor or some other form of academic assistance.
Reasons it sucks to have smart parents:
1. Even if you do really well in college and graduate its not a big deal to them because they already have multiple masters degrees and phd's. Your bachelors degree basically might as well be a sheet of toilet paper. I called my rents a week ago asking them if they were coming to my graduation. Convo was something like this:
"Hey my graduation is on the 20th are you coming?"
"Ummm....I guess..."
I guess?!! Was not expecting such a lukewarm response...but yea I guess from their perspective it really isn't a big deal compared to their accomplishments. They got graduate degrees in a country where they weren't even native speakers of the language. Plus i don't think anyone else in my family is coming either. In the meantime I know like people whose like entire village in rural China is coming to their graduation. Oh well...
2. They paid their way through college in a foreign country AND still did well and so they will ALWAYS hold it over your head and guilt trip you whenever you make what they deem an unnecessary expense ie a night at the bars.
But on a lighter note my graduation is this Sunday so if anyone wants to come and fill in the spaces left by my non-present family you're more than welcome to =)

| whew....so hes ok...at least i can sleep a bit easier tonight

| So obviously by now, everyone probably has heard about the virginia tech shooting...thing is, I actually have an old high school friend who goes there, and since they don't release an official list of the casualties until tomorrow I am stuck stressing my mind out not knowing if he is ok or not. AND I lost my phone a couple weeks ago so I don't have his number anymore either. I guess I should be used to it, considering I've spent four years in college with several friends in iraq, never knowing whether or not they would come back from their next tour. Still frustrating nonetheless....hope your ok Rich, I'll be praying all night.

| You know, I never thought I would get tired of partying, drinking, clubbing, and just having what most people term "a good time". But I really am. After nearly four years of this, I really want to move on to something else. Instead of being fun anymore, what was once fun has basically become procedure. Drink, party, pass out, rinse, repeat. Every now and then pass out next to someone else. Its really empty after a while. But at the same time I don't really have much else better to do with my time, I still haven't found anything to give my life meaning despite four years in college. So in the meantime, I guess its just drink, party, pass out, rinse, repeat.
