私の日本語and 2017 Posted at 11:19 AM
おはよお!私はヴァジ二とランですよ!生年は元気でした。
"Good morning! It's Vazeni Tran! Last year was great!"

I'm still polishing up on my Japanese over break given that I'm taking the 2nd level this semester which covers the last half of the textbook. I'm pretty stoked but also nervous about Japanese and other classes I'm taking. No humanities classes whatsoever. I usually love reading and educating myself on society, history, and such. But now I'm straying from the humanities field to science. I'm still minoring in Psychology (CLA) but I'm really considering and willing to jump into Neuroscience (CST). Perhaps I should just overall be a Biology major. 
     I can't believe I jumped from initially wanting to major in English, to Sociology, and now to Neuroscience. I wanted to challenge myself and rid myself from reading a lot. I've read a great deal in Psychology however so perhaps I like reading more scientific topics? Who knows, I might just be a picky person. I swear, if I change my major one more time before I graduate college, I must be doomed to become a freelancer of a sort.
     People who've known me for awhile knows my creative and artistic background but upon hearing my decisions, they get so shocked. I've honestly shocked myself as well. The older I am, the less inclined I am to pull ideas and inspiration out of my ass and actually CREATE. I'm becoming more logical, missing the math and sciences (weird, right?). 
     2017 has been a great year overall. I've developed relationships and created new ones. Richard has made me a more open and talkative person though not when it comes to meeting his friends. I'm usually quiet and reserved though I try to stay included. I've two other friends I've kept in touch with that I didn't expect to. I took English 802 with Alice and Andrea and we haven't talked much in those classes (except me and Alice talked extensively outside of classes). I became better friends with Alice before Andrea, who I was pretty intimidated by from how openly opinionated she was in classes. We actually started talking more over the summer via Facebook messenger and Instagram DMs. Then Alice got added into an SMS chat and the Instagram chat and our trio started from there. Furthermore, I've made more friends this semester who I haven't the privilege to hang out outside of classes but I have their numbers and have them on social media and I'm trying to maintain those relationships as well.
     My relationship with Richard has made me want to become a more improved version of myself as well. Richard is the type of guy who likes to go above and beyond whether it comes to friends/family or work (he sucks at school). I've pushed myself to become more talkative, to take on new physically intensive hobbies, and to improve my skills in games and work ethic for college. If anything, I'd say Richard is better at me in everything besides getting good grades since he pushes pass mental limitations that make one feel like they can't improve (which can result in procrastination and being lazy). He's going to work on his grades this semester though (he better). 
     Hopefully 2018 brings more bettering relationships and new friends, new opportunities, and willingness to push myself even further. Happy New Year a day later.

Life Choices Posted at 10:18 AM
To make things very clear, I just want to live a life where I can give back to the community but also enjoy what I do for the rest of my life. Putting a lot of thought into that, I have already decided I want to write for the rest of my life but I also want to have leisure time and contribute to society through volunteer work, non-profits, so and so.

I've been looking to John Green for advice. I watched him talk about college, adulthood, and decisions through your college career. And yes, they are videos I've watched years ago from time to time, but I stumble onto it again. And no, I won't be doing one thing with my life.

People say life is short. On the grand scheme of things, that is true. In comparison to the length of the universe's existence, we are merely a split second of breath. This only disregards our own perception of time and how truly long it is.

I'm trying to incorporate more people into my life. Sure, I'll have many friends, but a few close friends. I want to be able to socialize with people of similar interests and motivated and determined individuals.

Also, I'm still trying to change myself into a better person. For weeks, I've been noting down my flaws and fears : (complaining too much, negative thinking patterns, fear of public speaking, etc, etc) and ways I can get myself out of my bubble everyday. And holy shit, it worked. Just needed to put my mind to in and keep constant discipline. So far, I've improved on my public speaking skills, I'm a more content and happy individual because I push away my negative cycle of thoughts, and life has improved greatly after I stopped complaining as much as I usually did. My motto now is to live in the moment, don't complain unless you are actively pursuing a solution so you can shut up afterwards, and to be open to embarrassing yourself so you can improve. Never forget to be compassionate and considerate to others and take care of yourself.

****such importance****

November's Blessings Posted at 3:06 PM
November has had its ups and downs but it truly has been one of the best months by far. So much amazing and awesome things happened. But let's talk about the past 48 hours.

I went to a Slam Performance on Saturday night but prior to that hung out with Richard and then Taina tagged along later that day. I was glad that I stayed until late at night because I like doing things outside of the house at night. It becomes a beautiful memory.

Photos from the venue.



 When I came home that night, I saw that my Amazon order came in and God, I love them so much <3.

Then came the day of the marathon. After I finished the half and finally went home, I stuck this on my wall.

Selfie credits to Richard, I really liked that pic and he posted on Instagram. ^^food
 Really proud of myself. :)

Broad Street Run 2k15 Posted at 1:44 PM
By far the most I've run without stopping. I was suppose to run with Cheyenne but she kept stopping and I had to run back to push her and tell her to keep running. I don't know why I was so energized because I've only paused several times for short walks and this is freaking 10 miles, unlike the 8 miles and 5 miles that I'd take long walking breaks… so I'm proud of myself. Legs were tired, my head was dazed, but I overall felt good. This is what the love - hate relationship with running is.

Gosh, I'm glad for the volunteers passing out drinks though I never got water and went straight for the Gatorade which always fueled me up to run the next couple of blocks. Once I made it to Center City, it felt so surreal. I never knew my legs could get me that far. I was so pumped at the 7 mile mark because I knew I was almost done. Then when I came to to entrance of the Navy Yard, the destination, I didn't want to stop at all and had to push myself to keep going until the Finish Line. My time was 2 hours and 12 minutes but the clock stated 2 hours and 20 but that's because a group of people started to run before my group did so we were about 9 minutes behind.

Happy about the food and I got a medal (yasssssss!!!). I didn't run Broad St. last year unfortunately. But hey, if I can run 10 miles, I will eventually be able to run a half marathon (13 miles). :DDDD

Early in the morning at the front steps of school which is pretty close to the starting point of the Broad Street Run. Not everyone is in this pic and this wasn't taken off my camera but I took this pic from somebody else's post hurhurhur.

Off guard shots

More off guard shots

Yeah, I'm creepin'

^^ Cheyenne is the girl in front and I was suppose to run with her the whole time.
I lost her at some point because I couldn't stop running!!


This guy is Kristian. Can you believe he's 17? He's trying to grow a freaking mustache to look his age LMAO. He's by far one of the coolest guys I know and I've known him since Freshmen year. All 3 years of High School so far, we've worked in the same company, even if it's not the same day.
And last photo before we actually started running.
I finished at that time.

^0^ Posted at 11:38 AM
Think it was on Thursday that I finally learned or taught myself how to properly braid. It happened when I was at gym on the bikes or w.e and I was playing with my hair and finally thought I should find a way to braid my hair without moving my hands around and around because that's how I use to braid and it came out ugly and other people braided with their hands somewhat side by side and I'm like "how do you move your flipping fingers like that." Heheh, taught myself. Was so proud of me that day :)
This is today btw. Why does it look like I have a bald spot????? Anyway, just braided a section of my hair, secured the ends with small rubber bands, and clipped it going around to the other side of my head. :3

Later note : heyheyhey Just learned the fish braid as well. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it was so yeahhhhhhhhh

Testing my fish braiding abilities first. Since it looked pretty decent, I took my other braid out and decided to do a whole entire fish braid on my head lol
Did top section then added on hair until I hit rock bottom.

And at this "rock bottom" I got tired of doing the fish braid and made it cascade into a regular braid.

Side shot 2

side shot 3

Really wanted to do this whole braiding thing because my hair is like… lonnnnng so I thought why not?????

Exam Grade Update :3 Posted at 7:16 AM
English -             89.42 (B+)

Geometry-          94 (A+)

Latin -                93.67 (A)

Theology -         79.55 (B-)

World History - 99.23 (A)

Biology -           86.5 (B+)

P.O.M -             100 (A)

The decimals are going to be rounded. Like, a 79.55 just has to be an 80, right? Makes not too much of a difference.
And holy shit, I got all multiple choice questions right for history and there were 2 bigass essays to write for that exam too. I only got one point taken off wtf.
Also, Principles of Math, I got some things wrong and I asked the teacher about it and she said that points were added from the bonus points packet which is why I have a flipping 100. ._.

Oh yeah, the overall grades that I have are As but I have 2 Bs in which are both 89. If only I was one point closer for both of them. They would have been straight As.

Good thing though, I didn't get a single C on any exam. That was basically the goal, nothing under a 75%. So happy.

[I wonder if I scored the highest on the World History though. I bet someone got a 100 tbh because that exam was easy as fuuuuu]

That moment... Posted at 6:21 PM
I did something productive for about 2 hours.
Got so much out of it! :DDD
It was hard for me to read the intro of the Bible for homework. And we're going to have a quiz on it the next time I come to Theology class. So I took notes and created charts of comparisons and important information. It wasn't so bad. I love writing, so it didn't matter to me.


I'm about to watch Ao no Exorcist again. Kyaaaa~

WTF Posted at 3:03 PM

I was just checking my youtube and the top three videos I have. I thought the Alex Goot lyric video will hit 700+ likes first but then my fanmade trailer, which was in 2nd last time made it to first. And Idk how the hell my amnesia opening song video came in third since it was like in 7th place or something. Like WTH.
