So Close I Can Touch It

It's been 13 days since I last updated this blog. In that time I: finished working for the summer, wipeout-ed my laptop, lost pretty much all my stuff, packed for college, planned my first birthday party, tried to manage my ever-growing list of things to do, and most importantly moved into college!

For those of you who don't know, I will be attending San Jose State University starting this Monday. I moved-in on the 19th of August, which was early because of the "Frosh Start" program. With college starting on Monday, I feel as if I can socially survive college. I've met so many new people, and it feels as if these people are genuine. (Of course ironically they're all Asian. I lean towards Asian people unknowingly...until now)
I've made friends, some I feel like I trust (dare I say it) enough to go to a party with.

For those of you who don't know, I am a Christian. I say this because. Well, it seems to show a lot in college. They way I behave and everything.... well I've had it pointed out to me already. Is this is good or bad? Am I helping people make attempts at "reading" me by giving them more reason for me to fit into a stereotype? Who knows.

I'm still scared though- for my Faith. I don't think I am a very strong Christian, so I am very afraid. I keep thinking about Joey (My youth pastor) and his words on Black & White Night (Similar to a graduation at my church). He was sharing a story of a girl who just... put her Faith on hold when she went to college; she thought she could just pick it up after college. Besides that, she got involved with things like parties, drinking, and drugs.

As far as adjusting, the first night was pretty hard. I didn't even give a proper farewell to my parents. After that first night, everything just seemed to click. I feel as if God, just answered my prayers from the night before. I felt so much more at peace. As for now, well that belongs in a different blog entry.

I am so close to being a real college student, so close I can touch it.

Banana Boxes

So as I said before, I work at a uniform store.
What I failed to mention is I tend to spend a good amount of time in the back. What does the back of a uniform store look like exactly? Well, we have a lot of banana boxes. You heard me right. I know. Kind of weird. The sad thing is I never realized we had banana boxes until I was working in the front of the store, filling up sweat shirts, when a little boy asked his dad, "Why do they have banana boxes?" Only then did I realize:
1. We have banana boxes (Big shocker there)
2. I bet I look really weird carrying around banana boxes in a clothing store
3. We have a crap load of banana boxes!

Am I really that unobservant?
