Hoyas getting hitched on the Hilltop. I wonder if my future wife will be from Georgetown haha.

| Ok fans, I am finally updating since arriving at Georgetown
University. I've probably lost my entire reader base but I'll try
to get it back. So here goes.
So here is the great Healy Hall. This part of campus is the
best. Everyone puts on the facade of being "collegiate and
preppy" so they pretentiously toss frisbees while popping
collars. On cloudy and rainy days, Healy Hall looks kinda
evil. When you go through the the gates of Healy Hall... you
reach this tranquil area known as...
Dahlgren Chapel
Going past the chapel on the left leads the my dorm "The West
Wing." My dorm room is actually really big and it has a private
bathroom.
There's my messy desk. Notice the 20 in widescreen monitor.
It's awesome for showing movies, playing video games, or being cool and
having a word document, internet explorer window, and AIM buddy list
side by side.
My window has a good view of Healy and the chapel. However, it
doesn't beat some dorms who have a view of the Potomac grrr!
There's my goofball roommate Han Youp Lee from Seoul.
Student body - extremely homogeneous. 75% of the kids share the following characteristics
-Went to a private boarding school in the Northeast and not afraid to
rub their wealth in your face. For example "Andover Yacht Club"
sweatshirt. So you went to high school that costs more than
Georgetown and you were part of the yacht club to boot?
-Wears Lacoste or Ralph Lauren polos with the collar obnoxiously
popped. You can always tell the ones who are just pretending cuz
their collar is perfectly popped. The true prep has the messed up
popped collar look.
-Plaid shorts - you guys from high school remember those plaid shorts I
had? Yea I've seen two other people wear the exact same
pair. I'm not wearing those anymore.
The rest of the student body is ridiculously international. Black
people speaking Chinese... Chinese people speaking Arabic, people from
every country in the world. Pretty cool.
Georgetown Area
This place was definitely not designed with the poor college student in
mind. I guess that's okay, since everyone here is rich. But
a few blocks off campus is the shopping paradise known as M
Street. Banana Republic is the bargain bin in comparison to the
other stores.
For all you material boys and girls: Banana Republic, Urban Outiffters,
A&F, American Eagle, Anthropologie, FCUK, BCBG, Coach, Lacoste,
Ralph Lauren, Diesel, J. Crew, Club Monaco, Armani Exchange, and
Kenneth Cole. I don't know I am going to be able to control
myself with all these stores within walking distance.
Chinatown's Friendship Arch
Georgetown Vs. Brown
Our chants of "Safety School" and "Flush Brown Down" failed. They
creamed us 34-3. Makes me yearn for UT Austin football.
I'll have to wait for basketball season to feel good about my school's
athletics haha.
Ehh I can't think of anything else right now. I guess I'll update later with more pics.

| *Tear* so many of my friends all hung out with me during my last week
in Plano! Yea yea sappy entry but it was cool to know a lot of
people wanted to say goodbye in person! It's nice to know I made
some meaningful friendships throughout high school! So yea, it
turns out no matter how much I don't want to admit it... I am gonna
miss most of the parts of high school ranging from Student Senate to
Homecoming to maybe even IB. I just hope I can meet cool kids at
Georgetown too.
Yep I leave tomorrow morning for my first ever trip on an
airplane. Thanks to all the punks out there feeding me horror
stories. It still hasn't hit me that I am finally going off to
college... in a new and big city some 1300 miles away. Yep it
didn't even hit me as I was writing MY FIRST PAPER for college
UGH. I bullshitted a masterpiece by reading the first 50 pages
and then skipping to the last ten pages. It's a good method since
my topic was on the cyclical nature of the book and how it ends where
it begins. Convenient eh? Anyways, I hope I didn't forget
anything and I'll definitely update with everything once I move into my
dorm August 27th.
Oh yea I'm not actually listening to that cliched song by Vitamin
C. I just thought it was fitting. As we go on... we
remember... all the times we... had together... annnd as our lives
change...
*runs off crying*
