this past semester has been a really great semester. it made me remember that my decision to switch was a really good one. i took six classes totaling 18 units (science/math education, intermediate video, silent film, handmade film, feminist concepts and strategies, and history of photography), and it was, by far, my best semester ever. it really makes a huge difference when you are doing what you love, and i don't regret that it took me until my senior year of college to realize this. i am grateful that i had that epiphany because i can see myself being really miserable later on in life had i continued on with my original path.
i have two classes left to take to complete my new major, so i'll be back in the fall to finish them. it's weird that i won't be taking any classes on the hmc campus, but i still don't associate myself with any of the other 5c. on one hand, i just really want to graduate already and jump start that next stage in life, and then on the other hand, i think i'll really miss this place.
graduation was last sunday, and i got to walk with my friends. at first, i hesitated to do so because i just felt weird not actually being finished, but my professors and friends convinced me otherwise. i'm really glad i did that and got to celebrate with the friends with whom i entered college. the end was just weird, though, because it really hasn't hit me that i won't be seeing most of these people again for a while. people were running left and right attending to their families (mine included) so it was difficult to find everyone to say the goodbyes. i can't believe four years have passed already. after my sophomore year, time decided that it'll just accelerate tenfolds and leave me in the dust.
i would upload some pictures from graduation day, but i don't have my card reader. i'm staying at my parents' friend's home while waiting for my car to get fixed so i can head back to texas for the summer.
i think it'll definitely hit me once i get out of this state.

Hiya Trang! I stumbled across your blog via Google.
Very interesting stuff here. You write well-thought posts, and seem like you're having fun as a 'mudder'
If I may ask a crazy question - did you ever live in Union City, CA or with a brother in San Francisco, CA?? I had a pen-pal of sorts from out that way years back and I wondering if you and her were one in the same.
If not, you're still a great person, from what I can tell of your postings. Blessings in all your endeavors and wisdom in what to do after school!

Hi Ben,
Thank you for your very nice comment, but I'm afraid I'm not that Trang you were looking for. I was in San Francisco with my brother about a month ago, though. :)
Good luck finding your friend. Trang is a very common Vietnamese name, unfortunately...
