Ahh, another summer break past, another visit to korea, and the start of another new school year, of now which is my college life. Some things I've noticed as I entered into college, that most likely, anything that can go wrong with your process in attending college, can, and will go wrong. That is what I am experiencing with the recent troubles with registration and the school's financial crisis/meltdown, which cut my financial aid funding by nearly three thousand dollars.

Anyway, I don't really want to get too closely into that. But what I would like to talk about is, the group activity that has been recently growing in college campuses. Hookah. So for those who don't know what hookah is, it is a type of tobacco smoked out of a tall standing pipe. The pipe has roughly three parts, the top plate which holds the flavored tobacco, the tube that leads to the base which holds the water, and the hose which you smoke it from. Now, no way does hookah considered as drug, as it is still tobacco and since tobacco products aren't categorized as drugs and not yet been outlawed, it is perfectly legal; and with lots of hookah lounges appearing in the areas near colleges (personally, I have a hookah pipe myself, a result of my haste thinking when I saw a hookah pipe for 39.99 and each visit to the hookah lounge costs me around 20, so I figured that just buying a pipe would be cheaper. But I didn't input few factors into the thinking, such as where I would smoke the hookah. Also, smoking hookah in a lounge, and smoking hookah alone is pretty different, the latter being a bit dull cause it does not have the atmosphere of the lounge with the loud music and the handful of the crowd, along with crazy college students dancing to the music sometimes). After trying lots of the things college students do such as drinking, smoking (although I never tried drugs), hookah has grown quite popular along with the students. The first time I tried hookah in a different school's party, when a guy had a hookah pipe as he got it from his father, and around dozen guys and girls sat in the table taking turns on the pipe. One thing I would like to mention, is that hookah is still tobacco, and it is very hazardous to one's health, and one will know why when they take one puff of the hookah. The amount of smoke that results from just one inhaling, is just around 5 times as from taking just one from a normal cigarette.

Well, that was just a rant, but for right now I don't really have much to say. Life is keeping me up and running through hoops right now, trying to fix my problems in my classes, trying to deal with the school's financial mess, all while still trying to keep some fun to keep my sanity all while this recent unholy heat is frying me. Oh yea, and I still need to take drivers school for the stupid ticket I got for driving 30ft without my headlights on...
