Chapter 1
It's the middle of sophomore college; I'm finally home for winter break. Wow~ It's
beenforeversince I last touched this diary. A lot has happened for the past
three years! I believe writing about the experience thus far would fill up some of
these blank pages. But to save my hand from cramping after writing countless essays
for English 204-002, I'll keep it short and easy to digest. I enrolled to Michigan
State University, MSU for short. I moved into a dormatory, an experience much like
boarding school. I made sure I stayed in touch with my friends and family while I
was away. Angie goes to MSU as well, but I could barely meet her because of the
time conflict with our schedules. Judy's doing great for herself now. Her 2-year old
daughter, Delilah, is as cute as a button. Michael teaches elementary history at a nearby
school, and earns quite a handsome paycheck. Those who got engaged in my friend group,
two ended up breaking off the engagement and worked at diners, and the other three are
budgeting their wedding ceremonies. Those who enrolled before I did are actively looking
for high-earning 9-to-5 jobs to pay off debt... I shouldn't make fun of it, because
I'll be up next. Pa argues that he ought to pay off my loans till I tie the knot with
Samuel, a Canadian with a touch of French. Ma introduced me to him from her network,
and she argues that I should pay it off since I signed up for higher
eduction. I understand both of their perspectives, and I'm determined to find a job to
help Pa out with the finances... We'll see by the end of senior college.
I still don't know what I should major in. I excel core courses like English,
history, and algebra. I'm average at complicated sciences like chemistry and astronomy,
but I can digest biology just fine. I'm thinking the easiest route to go is to become
a teacher myself, but that's not me. Suzan loves a challenge, eh? But, a challenge for
life?? That's quite a predicament, so I have to really sit and think about it.
