• I was in Hawaii for 8 days from Jan 7th-14th
• I turned 21 on the 8th of Jan, had great time(s) celebrating with family and friends.
• I took the GRE, got high enough of a score for USC, but nothing high enough I want to mention :-/
• I don't think I'll be going to China in the spring, due to many issues and complications that make it inconvenient to go right now.
• Now that the apps are done, it's time to get back to the drawing board!

I've been updating my blog more than xanga or LJ, so go to http://yezix.blogspot.com to check out recent drawings and things.

Let me first just say that these two weeks' lack of broadband connection has been a true test of character.  I never realized how much I depended on the world wide web until the fateful day when my neighbor put a security lock on his wireless.  Suddenly I was cut off from the happenings of the world.  No news, no facebook, no looking at other people's art online--my world has been turned upside down.  Now I'm just a lonely lonely girl sitting in a dark and cold house in Shakopee.

But all is not lost!  We do have dial-up.  Although at 49.296 Kbps, I'm not quite sure if I'd rather choose death.  My patience has been pushed to the limit and my emotions have been running wild.  But I shall endure this torture; whatever doesn't kill me only makes me stronger.

The future looks grim but rest assured my friends, I will prevail!  Thank goodness for the coffee shop nearby that holds my salvation.
