Saturday Night

Tonight is Saturday, and I'm home alone..Mikeys coming soon. I'm pondering what crazy things to do. Well, I guess I'm doing something crazy right now! So I've had this shirt for about a year and didn't wear it till this week, and got pen on it~a pen was sticking into my back from my backpack..yea ha ha laugh. It hurt! But I read that milk might help get it off? If not, I'm trying hairspray..?

Nothing exciting to report. Except I've done chemistry hw two Fridays now...wow. Oh wait, I did go see the Human Body at IMAX..really interesting. I learned about how every morning when you open your eyes you burn cells from your retinas and then you have fresh sensor cells! Tiiight. And these things in your cochlea dance when you hear sound. Sorry, guess that's my biology lesson for today.

Can't believe its May already!! Fall registration is coming..ahh!

kung fu fighting- kapow!

Thank goodness, my lab partner is so nice. And it turns out I'm right across from Angela and her genius partner, so that all worked out. Phew. The rules are extremely strict in the labs, even more so than high school. Like you gotta wear goggles at all times and have to go out in the hall to adjust them. I guess its for safety and all that.

I saw David on the bus this week. After talking to him it made me realize how I haven't really seen any of my old friends at all lately. I feel so bad. But I've been so lazy and just not wanting to go out much on the weekends. Hopefully that will change. I dunno..I miss Grace! (And you guys too of course!)

Also just found out a new Artic Monkeys CD will be coming out..sweet! I actually stole a ton of music from Penny, half I don't even know what it is! But its all about adventure and listening.

Okay, I'm gonna do some chem..there's a midterm next week! Whoopie! It's kinda wierd, but I like chem! (I can't believe I wrote that!)

jeez..

I need to STOP PROCRASTINATING.

It's Night. Yup.

Howdy y'all.

Today I saw my dad's engine at school, his shift too except he's on vaycay so he wasn't there. Not too exciting but yea!

Angela and I went to the Chem Study Center and when we got a little help on this one hard problem we finally were able to figure out the answers, but the tutors noticed and asked us to help explain the method to some people since they couldn't get others to understand. I had my moment of pride. A guy actually came up to me for help! Anyways, not letting it get to my head. Probably happens only once every 18 years..

Just saw Kate and Leopold last week. I thought it was a little cheesy but really cute! I'm not usually into "chick flicks", but I liked this one. Uh, hello, Hugh Jackman?

I'm probably not going to update this for at least a week since I've got much to do, and its my first wet lab this week. I'm hopin its not gonna take the full 3 hours. And I hope my lab partner is awesome, since Angela and I's scheme to work together isn't going to happen since partners are chosen by last name! Curses!

Love Is Just A Lyric In A Children's Rhyme

Well happy belated Easter! Hope everyone had a good easter. Mine was literally filled with food. And good friends. And that is all I needed. Didn't do squat on hw, but hey I was busy. Today I was figuring out my summer schedule as registration for summer is next week. And Autumn registration is next month! Oh man...good thing I'm planning out everything. I'm just worried the classes won't work together. Dang that would really le suck.

On the plus side, I have begun to seriously work out. It's funny its taken me soo long. But I got some workout clothes at TJ Maxx for really cheap so I wouldn't have any excuse. My hammys and muscles in my back I didn't even know I had are sore. Sore is good though. Next mission: Jeans that a) I like b) fit me well and c) won't break the bank. Yea right....

Oh and I totally learned today than Juan de Fuca was actually a Greek guy. No kiddin. His real name was Ioannis something Greek long last name probably. Why the change in name? Apparently something to do with the fact that he was sponsered by the Spanish..I dunno! But yea, learn something new every day!

And go check out Lily Allen if you haven't. She's a fiesty Brit who's actually pretty fun to listen to.

Anyways, I'm going to learn about how important sound is in film..mm yes. And stoichometry!

Me thinks me gettin sick..

Sorry its been a while guys. Over break I got so relaxed and its kinda carrying over to this quarter. So far classes are going pretty well. I like my Chem prof and TA which is really nice. And the Cinema Crime Scenes class I think will be a nice counter to the chem. I can't wait to watch Minority Report! Even though I must admit ever since he went nuts I'm not a huge Tom Cruise fan.

So I went to school today and I heard all these sirens and stuff..and kinda brushed it off as it is the U-District. Well after class I called my dad to let him know I was coming home and he was like are you alright? I was confused and then he told me there was fatal shooting in a building close to where my classes are! I must admit I was pretty nervous walking to the bus stop and on the bus. It just made me think that with such a huge school and so many people, anyone can just walk in with a gun. Creepers.

I'm very excited as some family friends are coming from Cyprus tommorow for Easter. Easter's pretty sweet too. Chocolate bunnies and all.. I'm pretty much positive I can stay up till 2:30 for the Saturday night service since I do it all the time now anyways!!

Homestreeeeecccch!

AH> I'm dyin. I'm SOOO close to being finished with the quarter. Tommorrow! at about 4:20 pm. Hopefully I'll finish a lil early. I just got two 2pg essays to write. That's not as bad as a 4 pg essay, riiight? I'm trying to keep focus by listening to upbeat musick. And a psych test. All I need is like a 76 and then I can get my 4.0. Math is done, and hopefully I'll get a somewhat decent grade.

dang daylight savings. I was up at like 1:57 and then I look again and it's 3am and I'm like where did that hour go?! My life is passing me by!! Then I realized daylight savings is early. Pretty sweet but so mean to sneak up like dat. Why dude?

Ug, I wish everyone was coming home, even though I know it's only one week and we may not have to same break. But I do have things to do- play some Zelda, sleep in, be fat/lazy, read my book, and work.

Oh man I just wanna say I was called for a microsoft study (you get free stuff for participating) and they call you and ask questions to see if you qualify. I got all excited because the guy was like, this involves playing games, that's cool right? I was like psshh yes! Then he asked what game systems we have and started asking how many hrs in the last yr i've played all these games..I only played a couple of the games he mentioned so I didn't qualify! I knew I shoulda played more video games...

Yes, I don't know if I've mentioned it but I did get a job at my mommy's work. I was pretty excited cause I've been wanting to work there for a bit. I just don't want a fast food or grocery store job. Plus I really need money because I'm pretty sure I am getting a digital camera! Yay! Mikey's getting my brick. So no one can make fun of me anymore! (ahem...carey...jk! you know I love ya.) I just hope this camera doesn't do anything funny on me. I don't want to have to deal with its problems.

Okay I better finish these essays. Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Much luvv.

Summer SkooL

Ah, the weekend. Very relaxing. Just kidding! I got finals next week, ick. And I just found out I'm barely passing math, and I'm probably going to have to take it again. I'm so embarrased that it came to this, I feel like a total slacker. I know I could have spent more time on it, but the way the grading is, as someone else said, "half the class ends up failing". At least I don't have a zero. But I felt like the last couple months were a waste of time, and I may end up taking two classes this summer. Oh yea, I'm doing skool this summer. I have to take Chem 152 so I can start the Biology series next year. And I'm taking Chem 142 next quarter so I can do 152. Hopefully next summer I'll be taking a break. I've not yet gotten over the fact that it will be summer and everyone will be home- and I'll still be in school. But I really don't want to waste time. I just looked at Biology reqs and there's a load of science classes, which I would preferabbly not like to lump together. On the bright side, I don't have to take anymore English! Wooo! Anyways, if I'm only taking a couple classes, then maybe I will be able to hang out a little still, and be able to get good grades with one less class worth of work to do. Plus I need to learn to STOP PROCRASTING and get to work! Yes, life totally sucks right now, but at least spring break is not too far away...

Happy Prez Day

Ah, monday. This is an okay Monday. Home from school, lazily doing hw and dreading math test on Thursday.

Spent last couple days with my mom, on Saturday we had dinner at Agua Verde and saw Breach. Ture story about the biggest traitor in the FBI. He spends 23 hours a day in solitary confinement! I can't even begin to imagine.. But the movie was pretty good, so I reccommend y'all go see it.

Yesterday we hit up Alderwood. I was disapointed, not much..Still kinda in between seasons. But I wish I had gotten this cool clock necklace and tried on this dressy shirt at Forever 21- I love cheap clothes! Oh well. At least I saved some money. For food, I guess.

I don't even know what happened but it's almost time already to sign up for classes for spring quarter. Geez! Freshman year is almost two thirds over! I'm thinking some art classes, and math or chem. At least for biology majors you gotta take those ugly courses and then finally do the exciting bio series. That's what I want to get to. And I know foreign lang is gonna have to happen next year- whether its French or Greek. (I've decided I'm going to continue a language I already partially know, and not rack up another partially learned language)

Okey dokey! I'm going to not procrastinate!

happy corporate holiday!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Mesh. Life is like an hourglass glued to the table- fo sho. I can't believe it's halfway through the quarter again, what the heck man!

I'm going to be happy once its Friday. I've got a 4pg paper due Thursday, psych test Tuesday and Math- az alwayz. Ick ick ick. I feel like I know my psych, but I felt that way last time and didn't do so good...hmm.

Yea...nothing too exciting except my dad and sibs are leaving to go to this Greek dance festival in Cali, so I get to hang out with my mommy! I'm happy because its going to make her happy, giving her a chance to get out of the house. Hope I have enough time for hw. I guess I will make time! Hah!

Alright, best do another 2 lame hours of work.

College, you are le suck.

That Girl

Finally the week is over.

I delt with the harsh reality that I suck at college. I got a nine out of forty on my first math midterm. Might as well not have done it! Thankfully the median was 22, and I will do better on the next one. And my dad was understanding of how hard college math is. The most frustrating is its sorta stuff I've done before but they've somehow made it complicated. I'm feeling better since the TA is Penny's friend and is hopefully willing to help me pass this class. I really need one on one tutoring.

Got to hang out with Elias, which is cool. Haven't seen him in a couple years! I love my Greek homies..haha. Also got to see my Fig friends. That was cool.

I'm feeling better after brief suffocation that I thought I just lost the coat I've been craving. Whew. I love getting federal tax income back!

I hate being sick, but it's honestly not bothering me too much. I just hate not being able to taste food, the soul of my being. And doesn't make my mood better.

Alright, gotta study this weekend, whooo! Psychology man. Today I signed up for a couple psych experiments. We'll see how it goes. But I def want the xtra credit for doing it.

I'm Not Okay..

I have a dumb math test tommorow. I don't feel at all prepared. We just blitzed through seven chapters in the last couple weeks. I miss the way math was taught in high school! I need Mrs. Bower! It's funny, I know the math but the way it's presented..as one other guy put it, "its so they make you fail.." I honestly hope that isn't true. Hopefully my page of notes will help me. Plus I need to finish an article analysis. Which isnt that painful but I'm making it so. I def care about math, not so much geog since its pretty easy. So far anyways. Okay, I'm doing work. I said I was going to stop this procrastination and I can already see how well that's going. But after the math test tommorow, life will be good!


I NEED a good math grade!

Feeling like failure.

I got two tests this week: psych and math. And I don't feel very prepared for either. I've been really procrastonating and its gotta stop. Like after I finish writing this. I feel like I need to get really good grades this quarter so I can get into a biology major. AHHHHH. Math is so hard, but not so I don't understand why I can't get it. I wish it was high school and I could understand math (mostly) again. Sorry this is a ton of complaining, but this has and will be my focus in life for the next couple weeks. I just want to get at least a 3.5 in those classes. And I figure with up to .3 extra credit I should get at least that if not more in Psych. Just have to continously study. That's really what I gotta do. Oh well, I'm just so glad there's no English.

How We Operate

My brain- dead. I got an entire two hours of sleep last night- but that's totally my fault. My arms and legs? Dead. I feel like someone stretched out my arms and legs. Icky. But I burned some calories. Mikey and I shredded up that hill haha. I spent an entire weekend watching the entire second season of Grey's Anatomy, nasty habit I know. And snowboarding today, and now I have someone to go board with! That's cool. So kinda productive. I'm still not getting used to this school schedule again. I keep comparing the begining of this quarter with the last, which seems years ago. It's so funny because before I flipped out whenever I had a break and didn't have anyone to hang out with. I'm okay with that now since I feel less dependent- add in the fact of extra time for hw. I miss seeing my Fig buddies, but hopefully we can still stay in touch. I've made a couple new friends, like in psych. Geography and Health is my fave class- most def. I can't understand why they don't have quiz sections. I'm not going to learn anything! Or, it will be much more difficult...or not. I know exactly what I need to learn, which is way better than anthro. Ug, so glad I don't have that anymore. Hope everyone is back and school and having fun times. UW hasn't missed a single day since this snow crazyness started. Whatever..at least we don't have to make up any days. I wish it had snowed this much last year though!

Alrighty. I best get something done tonight. Happy MLK Day.

Happy 2007...and all that jazz..

..And before you know it break is over. Well I know everyone else doesn't have school yet. But I do!! Isn't life grand. But its been good so far, cause nothing has started yet really. But I did spend 117 on a psych book. That was NOT fun. Brendan was working there though, I was like hey what are you doing here? There isn't your school. Haha..My Geog and Psych Profs seems really awesome. Math just sucks so whatever. At least Jenna's there too.

I have 4 other Ballard kids in psych and I swear I didn't know any of them were taking that class. It's kinda funny actually.

Hopefully I can get awesome grades in these classes. Go me. <---That's enthusiasim right there.

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!
