feeling adventurous [:

School is an adventure ever since Jillian came into school and became my partner-in-crime (hahaha). I swear, she is such an awesome person to be around with :) "Watch! One day you'll get sick of me," she said.  "I never will get tired of you!" I looked at her incredulously. haha, freaking Jillian <3

my comment on her wall: "day six: got a free parking permit, new sushi restaurant! YUM, discussing about Japanese and Chinese, you were happy that you understood few Japanese words (lol!), eating quickly and need to hurry to class, I accidentally went into the men's restroom (lol!), the newbie is still cute (OBVERSE FOREVER,BITCH), awesome pottery projects, can't figure out the stupid STUPID STUPID locker, "I'll treat you Jamba Juice" you: NOO *JUMPING & COMPLAINING* (LOL AW♥), the employee messed up my order, and I said "I know my color." haha xD, your jet ski experience (LMFAO! hilarious shit ever!)" 

It is currently our fourth week in college, and so far, everything is going good. I know, eventually, we'll be stressing out big time. Oh! I love how she is studying Japanese, and I'm studying Chinese xD

I also love how we discuss and teach one another about Chinese/Japanese ^^ 

 Anyways, enough about school (:  For the past six months, inside my head and ears had been ringing consistently. Sometimes I had a hard time telling the difference between the surrounding sounds and the ringing inside my head. I had an instinct my hearing ability is decreasing. Finally, I was able to see my audiologist recently this past Monday for hearing check-up. And the result of the check-up? I was right; my hearing ability is decreasing. I wasn't surprised, and honestly, once my audiologist said "you're deaf, not hard-of-hearing." A big smile came across my face. So all along for the past two years, I had been struggling to know whether I'm deaf or hard-of-hearing. Whenever I meet new people, they always ask me, "are you deaf or hard-of-hearing?" I usually hesitated. And now? I finally know the answer(: I'm happy to know the answer, and I'm happy to know I'm deaf. I've accepted myself, and I'm really proud of who I am despite some frustrations (example, communication barrier). Even though I can talk, it was due to torture of oral school for about 6 years. I remember how I wanted to sign when I was in elementary school, and my teachers kept telling me, "NO" this "NO" that. After enrolling into junior high, everything changed ^^ My point of this paragraph is that I'm proud of who I am.

Another adventurous topic: Had anyone went to LA Fair yet? (: Free admission for E and I! We had to buy 10 Ralphs-labeled cans (5 cans per person required), and we had free admission ^^ However, the free admissions are for few specific days and time. Check out LA Fair website to find more information about it! (: My favorite parts were the big slide ride (where you sit down on the mat and slide down) , the wild animals, getting compliments from few people about my new Pikachu shirt (made by my friend!), a goat randomly lift itself up to put its hooves on E's leg xD and stare at E. E's reaction was freaking epic. He had this "WTF" face and petted the goat's head out of confusion :P etc.what a great night (:

so colorFUL! (:
