First Quarter- down!

Hahahahahaha. I'm sooooooooooo happpy!!! No more homework or studying or being in class for the next couple weeks!!! Two finals yesterday sucked, but I'm feeling pretty good about both. So I think that's good.. For the first time in a week I got a full night of sleep. I'll miss my classes and the people in them...they were boring at times but still fun. Well, actually I wouldn't actually call English "fun". But the comp requirement is done.

I get to see everyone! and sleep in and mess around online and be fat and lazy!

Sorry about the hype..I just can't keep it bottled up. :)

Happy Holidays everybody!

Snow!

Unfortunately, not totally sticking but I took a couple pics. It's kinda pretty with the sun and snow. But really cold. I wore my thermal underwear today. I feel so fat cause I'm wearing like five layers on top and 2 on the bottom with two pairs of socks-and I stayed fairly warm. Too bad hats look really bad on me and can't cover all my hair. Geeeez.

Here's last night...

















And when I got home today! Haha, you can see my hand and ghetto camera.


So yea! I thought it would be nice to post some pictures instead of writing.

Thanksgiving weekend

Alright its my fave weekend. Okay not my most fave but its pretty sweet not being at school last couple days. Thanksgiving wasn't too exciting since it was pretty low key, but its all good. We had roast, not turkey which is fine with me cause I'm not turkey's biggest fan.

Hung out with Amanda, Ericka, Monique and Jenna. Nice to see Amanda and Ericka, seems like everyone's doing good, which is good. We saw Borat....all I can say is hmmm. I'm glad I wasn't in the movie, cause I'd feel pretty dumb. Okay some parts were funny. Others, no way.

Yesterday I went shopping for eight hours at Alderwood. Only got a present for the sibs, Elf for only 6 bucks. At Target. I dunno, I'm trying to find a decent coat and long sleeve waffle shirts but so far not good. I don't understand why some places still cary camis and thin shirts. I need to be warm!

So today I'm working on hw and studying, since finals are only a couple weeks away. It's so strange that I'll be done with these classes already in less than a month. It sucks that all my finals are on Monday, but at least I'll get about another week off.

Registration

Oh snap. It was stressful, but I made it into all my classes/quiz sections! But I don't think I can go back to sleep now. But I need more sleep. Now the question is, did I do this well enough to land in the same classes and quiz sections as the people I talked with? Hmmm..to be continued!

Monday Monday

Weekend was fairly chill. Got to hang out with Ian and Carolee at Kealans. Saw Colin, Josh, and Chui too. That was actually really nice to be with a group of familiar people. I hadn't seen Kealan since June. We all watched 40 Year Old Virgin, at some parts Carolee and I were like uh...boys.

Didn't get to see Reilly, I guess I should have called her. I spent lots of my weekend watching movies and watching TV shows. But I had an ephiphany....I love Superman. I watched the original movie, the second one is on its way. Plus I'm watching the animated series, which I used to watch when it was on. It was a really good show! Why did they cancel it? Plus Batman guest starred, and I didn't realize until then that Batman/Bruce Wayne is a little arrogant. Superman is all about the good for the people. I still love Batman Begins, and can't wait for that and the Superman sequel to come out. Anyways, sorry that's me rambling.

Today is nice as I'm just doing some readings and peer reviews. Plus..oh man I forgot. I gotta decide which classes I'm gonna take! Ah! I think Math (ew.) and maybe art and something else. I hope I get into the classes I want. Please please please.

Anyways, learning about mitosis and meiosis in Anthro, so finally something familiar! So relieving after all the bones and monkey stuff. I can't take evolution for much longer.

Heaven= 3 day weekend

Finally the weekend is hurr. So pumped. Gonna be so lazy and sleep tonight, then I guess I have to do some hw. Unfortunately, I didn't do so hot on my Anthro midterm. Ug. Melissa and I said we were gonna start studying like now for our final. Apparently everything will be better cause this is just how the first quarter of college is...I really hope.

Last night went to the Bodies exhibit with my figgys. Pretty cool, didn't get too grossed out cause I've seen grosser. But really, it was interesting. Did you know if all our muscles worked together we could lift a ton? Reminds me of the book I'm reading about cadeavers. No, I'm not a sicko-I like forensics. Which reminds me I haven't read my Forensics for Dummies book lately.

Err, I think I lost my library card.

Anyways..hope everyone is relaxing this weekend, tty'all lata!

yesss

Midterms are ova! Sweeeet. Now I got a paper. College sucks. Well I don't mean totally.

I'm just very pumped for the three day weekend. I like sleeping. And getting more time to be lazy. Reilly's coming back so we'll try and kick it, so that's tight. Oh did I mention sleeping in? I just didn't seem to get it when people said you wouldn't get much sleep in college. Hah. They sure showed me.

The rain doesn't seem to bother me, I just get mad at myself for not getting an actual coat. Something waterproof. Wat eva.

My parents are working again, so that's pretty tight. My mom's in a better mood. She has new stylish glasses too! She's beating me fashion wise cause I've been dressin like a slob lately.

Well better get a little bit of the paper done and get some shut eye- dentist tommora..whoop de doo...I bet I have another cavity and will have wisdom teeth pulled. I'm so optomistic.

Nighty night!

Stop! I said it's happening again! We're all wasting away..

Dude this Kasabian song is my current fave..I'm so glad my parents got Mike an mp3 and 2 month trial on Napster.

Well my bookshelf just collapsed, so I'm kinda scared to walk over to that side of my room still. And angry cause it broke my earring holder. After all these years...maybe I need to get rid of some books. Haha.

Plus I had the worst dream last night- my yiayia died and Whitney was moving away for like ever. Well I mean she is moving but it just sucked anyways.

And then I have a 7 pg paper due and a midterm on Tuesday..so I'll probably be like hugging everyone with happiness after school. Until then..I have to study. I got Homo habilis and sectorial third premolar and diastama running through my head.

But...I saw the BHS play with Grace last night. It was good, but wierd plot. "The Skin of Our Teeth". Many new faces, but I recognized Kelsey, Dexter, Amanda, Kyle, Josh, Paul, Lauren and Nate. It's just wierd not seeing David or Lisa or Emily up there, let alone walking into that building.

Had quick Thai with Carolian. Feel very stuffed, like a turkey. Oooh that reminds me Thanksgiving is coming and I'm so excited! I can everything I want and not be questioned or feel guilty...heh heh.

Alright I better seriously study. Peace.

Laughing babies

Please watch this and try not laugh. Seriously.

I should go sleep but yeeeaaa...

Saturday night and doing hw. I'm so proud of myself. Thursday night..or Friday morning I got only 4 hours of sleep. Pretty much my fault. Carolee called me and I said I could watch a movie with her and Ian- they left at 1. Haha. Then I started hw. It's cool though..it's nice to have a break from all this stupid writing.

The Office is really funny..I think I need to see the orginal though. Jim's cute too..

Shopped on Broadway after school yesterday for the first time. I know, I'm crazy. There's a couple cool places. At this one store this guy was telling me and Penny about crazy rednecks with swastika tats with guns in their front seat (from AAA) and why he moved to Seattle. I assured him there are no crazy rednecks with guns in Seattle.

Hung out with Grace yesterday..we went everywhere- Coldstone, arcade games at Sunset, then Denny's with Axel, Kyle, Brittany and Becca. Haven't seen those kids in a while, so that was really nice. I think next week Grace and I are trying to go to the play. Kyle didn't explain it to me cause he said it was complicated and told me to look it up, but I don't remember the name he told me...snap.

lalalala

Okay first midterm over! Angela and I studied our flippin butts off. Better get a decent grade.

Quiz today in Bio Anthro..I think I did okay. Oh well. Now time to study for that midterm.

Went out to Red Robin with some people in the FIG, hoped that more people would come but of course they couldn't..its cool. But I love teriyaki chicken burgers. And discovered freckled lemonades from this girl in my FIG..it was so funny she and our fig leader were talking about doing the birthday thing for people when its not their birthday. And at one point he left a little, turns out he said it was her birthday. It was funny..I got to eat the ice cream cause she was full, and so was everyone else. So it was pretty cool.

Alright..one more day till the weekend..sweet! I'm so pumped...I deserve a reward..

The world loves wannabes, so hey hey do that brand new thang!

Ah, the weekend is gone, for another week. This weeks gonna suck cause of midterms. And English. I could rant a ton about English, but that's boring.

I saw the Phantom of the Opera last week, and I'm totally in love with it. I can't stop listening to the soundtrack. Ahhh. So I definitely reccomend it.

Friday went to Jet City, pretty awesome. I'd do it again, their Clues thing was funny. Got to hang out and actually talk with people in my FIG. They're pretty cool, we started an entire conversation from talking about being cold to scarves which lead to knitting. I think I need to learn how to do this. Saw Over the Hedge, cute movie.

Saturday morning I got up and felt this crushing pain in my chest. It's hard to describe. Then I felt like I was gonna throw up and got lightheaded..it was so wierd. I have serious problems...

Cope was pretty good, minus all the smoking. Learned about this new artist, Alice Smith. She was pretty cool too. I was pretty tired though by the time everything was over, the concert didn't start for an hour and a half.

people are so funny

Urban Outfitters had this when I tried to go to their site:


We're really freaking sorry (really). Please come back soon and shop like crazy but in the meantime, why not register to vote?To place an order by phone call 1-800-282-2200

Hahaha.

Don't Lose My Number

Woo-hoo! It's not even 5 and I've already started homework. I'm getting better at this not procrastinating thing, and I felt so motivated I decided to post something.

Last night had dinner with fam of Dad's side. It was like dark and rainy yesterday, and I'm kinda glad it's finally acting like fall. Except I think I have SAD. I heard apparently you can get light treatment for SAD. I'd rather take a mocha from Starbucks.

So my FIG group is going to Jet City Improv this Friday. I feel like being a Seattlite I should have already gone, but I saw the Twisted Flick last year at Fremont. Kinda counts. And Saturday is the Cope concert with Penny. Busy busy already for the entire week.

I think while I'm on a roll I should finish hw. Peace out dogs.

Walking In Memphis

Week 2, dizzown.

Yesterday was pretty eventful. I went to my whopping two classes. I liked the guest lecturer in the Globalization class. I could understand him, haha. But yea, afterwards I got coffee and had a nice talk with Chui. I know, wierd. But he's been pretty chill lately. I met up with Angela and Jenna, we went down to U-Vig cause we got free samples of Soft Lips and we heard they're looking for a new model so Angela and I were like lets do it! So we went down, filled out a form, and entered to win a $250 giftcard to U-Village and the national contest. We got pictures taken of our lips. Sweet. But I mean I bet there's like thousands of people doing it. Haha.

So there's a new store called Rugby at U-Vig, and it's so cool they had all these skull and crossbones kind of pirate look on some of the clothes. And I wanted to get this black shirt but I was like, man I already have 3 black shirts.

But yea, walked from there through campus to 15th, nice walk I guess. My mom had made spaghetti, and there were Nutella banana crepes for dessert. My new fave dessert. Then I hung out with Grace whom I haven't seen in like forever. We went to Freddy's cause big Ian was there working, and then we went to his apartment that he shares with Zack. Saw Reed, nice to see some familiar faces.

Today, I might go to the IMA, we'll see. That mean I gotta get up.

Saturday

So week #1 is over. English made it suck. Papers every day. And now another due Monday. But I like the people in my FIG. Today we did the downtown scavenger hunt. I think my group did pretty well since the other group got tired and left.

Angela and I checked out the cafe in the art building, pretty good. And I made friends with this girl named Melissa in my FIG. We do share a few things in common. On Friday, it was so wierd, we ended up on the HUB lawn after class, and then David, Penny, and Angie all passed by. Penny beat me getting a tragus piercing! When I asked her when she got it she was like, well I was studying late and this place on the Ave was open till 11 so I went..I was like no way!

But yea, Melissa got to meet David and Angie. We all sat in the HUB, and David went on about feminism and something about the bible. He seems to know what he's talking about. That dude cracks me up. He's trying to start a Males for Feminism club. Thankfully Melissa didn't get scared by him, she actually said he reminded her of her friends, and so that was kinda nice and familiar. Now he's gotta do that magic card trick with the burning, I never got to shoot.

Yesterday I guess another adult like move-I got a checking account. Whoo! I'm just excited to not have to be at the bank when it's open to get moolah, which is like not when I'm free. And I think I'm going to get Disney princess checks!

FYI don't go see X-Men 3, it sucks.

Overall I'd say things are going pretty well. Yup..

Summers over.....no!

Well it's Sunday night, and yes I'm doing homework. What a great way to start college. Anyways..so I'm a college girl fo sho now.

Wednesday was day numbero uno. And I'll be very honest, I didn't really like it. Not hate it, just I dunno, the first bite by reality that I'm seriously out of high school. Thursday and Friday were better, I think I really like my Bio Anthro class. English is okay, and Intro to Globalization I think will be interesting. Oh yea, there's only like 700 people in that class. But as Angela says, it's nice to disappear. I've been hanging out with her and Jenna.

So it was so wierd the first day! George Plumis and Otis were on the bus, then I get off and Corrina was there. Then we sat down and saw Gabe walk by. Then at lunch Jenna and I were in front of the HUB, (where lotsa stuff is, including one mass of places to eat) and saw Angela, and Chui met up with us. Inside we see Julie and David K. In the Globalization class JP, Lars Phillips, and Keyan are in it too. Talk about "I thought I'd never see anyone from Ballard on campus".

I think I need to join a club or something to make my life at UW worthy. Oh yea, trying to pursue that library job. David is too, maybe we'll work together? Haha. Like I can see myself working at a library. But I'd definitely don't mind getting paid to study.

Tommorow is Monday. AKA it sucks hexxa.

Happy October. (already!!!)

Been A Star Of Many Plays

Sorry I haven't updated lately guys. But it's been a pretty good weekend.

A few days ago when I was going to the library I saw Whitney and her mom walking. I waved. It was good to see her, haha. I hope I can see her before she leaves.

Friday night was the Elton John concert. I figured out dinner at Racha Noodle, a Thai restaurant I think my parents liked. I held the urge to run across the street to Easy Street. I miss my Easy Street buddy! We headed over to the Key Arena where the people made me throwout my leftover food. Saw David and Sean in line up ahead. Turns out my dad got the highest seats in the section we were sitting in. I was kinda upset when I saw how far away we were, but he said it was either this or a side seat 4 minutes after they went on sale. Whoa. But Elton John came out and it was awesome cause they've got screens and we had binoculars. I recognized some songs like Crocodile Rock, Tiny Dancer, Daniel, Saturday Night's Alright(For Fighting), Rocket Man, Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me (minus George Michael), Bennie and the Jets, and I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues. Sadly no Lion King, or Candle in the Wind or Blessed, some of my faves. But the rocker guitarist with the long blonde hair, sunglasses and jeans tucked into boots cracked me up enough. It's Elton John, and he's amazing.


I was so happy to get my mom out of the house. She really needed it. Unfortunately our moods turned sour when lo and behold when we got to the car it was dead. So we called my uncle who drove us home, and on the way back we found out there was a police chase and this crazy woman hit a police car into Matt's Hot Dogs. But anyways, I helped my dad with a new skill he taught me. He drove the truck back to the car and tied it to the back of the truck. I basically steered the car home, braking on hills and turning while he towed. It just sucked cause there was no lights, no radio, and no heat. I made faces at people who were driving by. The only wierd part is no shifting since the car's not on. And the jerking when going uphill. It was kinda fun actually.

Saturday I hung out with Reilly since she was back in town. We went shopping at N-Gate. The parking garage is going up, so parking sucked. I got a henley and a kinda shimmery gold tank top at Express. Had dinner at Red Robin, I was so proud of myself I ate my entire burger and fries! And all of the milkshake and a half.

Today I headed down to UW for the Freshman Kickoff where everyone met their FIGs, got into a huge W and took a picture and kinda went over that University class. Actually it was wierd, behind me in the bleachers Eshsan (sp?) was sitting. Next Monday is a scavenger hunt downtown, I'm actually excited. I'm the only one from Seattle, but there's people from Redmond, Kenmore, other parts of Washington and a couple from LA. And I kinda befriended Tiffany, and girl from Hawaii. I know! She's really nice. I'm glad I connected with someone. Jenna and I went out to Pagliacci's. It was so good that soda and pizza. Believe it or not, it was burning up today. I just took a shower, so I feel bettah.

Well I'm gonna go get some H2O......PEACE!

Conan at the '06' Emmys

Hate To Say I Told You So

I feel better since I've updated my actual journal. And then there's this. Nothing really exciting except last night.

Ian and Carolee came over and Ian and I unfortunately got Carolee addicted to Lost. Whoops..oh well..haha. I've just realized that I don't have much free time left. I'm working another day this week, finish the other 5 Lost discs, then the Elton John concert..and then I give my life to school. Sweet. I really need to go shopping. Meh...

I better go take a shower...tty'all lata.
