And now the weather matches the season. Bahh..I already miss the sun and stuff. I was really hoping it would hold out for a little bit longer. School starts in two days and I'm not sure if I'm ready to give up my summer yet. Oh, I don't think I've mentioned that I've been volunteering at the UW Medical Center. It's an awesome job, I love it. To be honest I didn't think I would, since I've been apprehensive about hospitals and sickness. But now I'm really thinking that I want to be a doctor. I've got an MCAT study book from the library and I'm already looking over it. I haven't really said much to anyone because I didn't think I was fully committed- but it feels good to finally have chosen a career path. Everyone at the hospital is so nice.
Another decision I've made: I am going to travel next year. A lot. I'm tired of trying to make plans to go somewhere that eventually fall through. I just gotta commit and drive down to Portland or Cali or something. Europe? I sure hope so! That's the big plan.
Saw Burn After Reading yesterday. It was funny, kind of a black comedy. I say it's worth seeing once. Oh man, Brad Pitt was pretty hilarious in it, that's for sure. And suprisingly other movies I liked were Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express. Okay, Tropic Thunder was a little intense but I still liked it more than I thought I would. All I gotta say is..Tom Cruise (shaking my head).
And since I'm talking about things to see, another series I got into: Arrested Development. It's SO funnay!! I don't know why it got canceled (well I do but you know what I mean). It's def different and I can't get enough of how messed up that family is.
Alrighty, my tummy is hungry and I gotta get some food!

Bliss
I dunno if anyone is still reading this but I'll make a post anyways. Lots has happened since May. I have done summer quarter and am finally getting my summer break. I met a group of awesome people in my bio class and we've already hung out a couple times since school got out. We even went hiking a couple days ago. My calves are still hurting. But its that good kind of sore, ya know? I've been working as much as possible, I really need the money. I'm trying to see all my friends before school starts up, at least the ones who haven't left already for exotic places. I could have been in Cyprus now, but I've learned to be like okay, fine, it's cool. Next year? Who knows...hopefully before I get old.
Uh, went to Bumbershoot. I honestly can't wait till everyone can actually come and we can go together after college. It didn't look like I was gonna make the mainstage night show, but I got really lucky and a guy was giving away one pass so I was like score! Finally I got a Spoon poster at flatstock. It's pretty awesome, btw.
What else..oh! My brother finally started high school and the french teacher def remembers me. I gotta go back and visit Moody. Ah, which reminds me I got organic chem in the fall. Ef.
The weathers been nice today, really weird but I won't complain too much, I love it. Especially since right after I got out of summer quarter the weather just was terrible.
I'm trying out this salt and pepper popcorn my coworker gave me, very interesting...hmmm..

Remember the weight of the world..
So I thought I'd let all you chicas out there know about this series I just discovered, called the Twilight Saga. Yes, its a young adult novel and yes, it is about vampires. But don't leave yet..I gotta stop judging things so quickly! The first book came out in 2005, and I have seen it around but I just didn't sound intrigued, a vampire love story? Uh, cool I guess..BUT! This is how good I think it is- I bought it Saturday, started it that night and finished it in the early wee hours of Monday. I could not put it down, it was soo good! I highly recommend it if anyone's looking for something different (and like love stories of course). It's about this girl who moves to Forks, Washington (yes, this state) which is apparently the rainiest place in the US- to live with her dad. And she notices this group of kids in the lunchroom sitting by themselves, and they turn out to be adopted siblings..and she gets this crush on one of the guys. She finds out that he's Edward Cullen, and she ends up as his lab partner in Biology. Bella (the girl) finds out there's something interesting about Edward, which is he is a vampire! And they're not like vampires you typically think of, who have fangs and don't go out in the day and sleep in coffins. I won't say anymore, you'll have to read. It was just different and fun and cute all in one. You just want to keep reading and get to know the characters. It does seem a little repetitive sometimes and Bella does get a little annoying with her Edward obsession. But hey, it's teenage love. And the movie is coming out in December, I will be dragging some poor soul with me..not the day it comes out, that's probably when all the tweens will run out to see it. I'm already going to order the next two books. :)
But that's my book blab. I just haven't found a series that I've loved so much for a couple years now. I miss books! I hadn't been to BN for a while.
In other news, still slowly progressively moving stuff downstairs. I'm constantly amazing by how much stuff I have. I found all these pictures of family and friends over the years and they're so funny to look at! Vacations and last days of school or hanging out...good times.
But yeah, waiting patiently for friends to come home, Folklife, et cetera. Trying to focus on chem and math, the gen series almost over!
Cyprus/London plans are kinda unknown, it seems like everyone will be busy with the wedding and I just don't want to be a burden. But we shall see, it may still happen and if not...there's always next year!
By the way, if any of you like Spoon I have to recommend this video with Brett playing "I Summon You" acoustic in a cab. I love Brett! There's this thing called Black Cab Sessions where indie artists play uncut versions of their songs in cabs in London and they're recorded. This one is pretty good, check it out! http://youtube.com/watch?v=X-r0BiEuC3M

Sun!!!
Finally finally its sunny! :) been waiting for evah for some sunshine...
So this weekend is nice, midterms are over, nothing extreme due for a week. Ahh.
But Sunday is Easter and I'm exciting, friends and food and some deece food. I can't do this vegan thing much longer. I want some chocolate too...
Hm, what else? Oh yea I moved downstairs. Still moving all my stuff down. I have a lot of stuff that I fit in my little "closet"! Steph was buggin me to just move everything. I just gotta figure where everything goes.
And yesterday I declared my major: Biology-Cellular, Molecular and Developmental. I think I'm gonna go to the career center so I can go figure out what I want to do with my life (aka pre-med or not).
Well I'm gonna go out in the sun since it probably won't last!

Excursion? Maybe.
Possibly exciting news. Possibly because it may not happen. But it may!
So, my cousin is getting married this year, and we all thought it was gonna be in October. But it turns out its gonna be on September 20th. School starts the 24th. My uncle called my dad yesterday and I might might might get to go to the wedding in Cyprus! Ahhh that'd be so cool. And spend a couple days in London too (shopping=AMAZING). But in Cyprus there's so many people- my family, friends and my godparents.
I'm going to see if Penny and my uncle can come too. It's a maybe for them too, it is a lot of money. Of course I've already checked up on the airfare...about 1500 $ roundtrip. However I'd be staying with someone, so pretty much all expenses are taken care of except for maybe shopping and going out. Over there in September it'll be about 80 degrees, really nice. I'd have to leave right after the wedding since I get to London or if I switch planes I'd have to wait until the next day. So I'll probably be a little screwed up the first day of school. But now that I'm in college, I'm hoping since I never sleep anyways maybe the 10hr time difference won't matter that much anyways! I can never sleep on the plane for some reason.
I'm just really happy about this...my dad's all well someone should be there, you only get married once...
The nice thing is I think they'd be willing to chip in for the airfare. I will certainly contribute, working whenever I can. I'm guessing with summer quarter and how restricted I am by school now I could come up with 700ish $? Who knows. This is about 3/4 of a quarter's tuition. Me taking a summer class doesn't help. But yeah..I'm dreaming.
Well, I think a decision will be made soon so we can snag good airfare prices. I'll let you guys know. :)

Spring...ha ha.
It's "spring" apparently. That's a good joke, because just a couple days ago it was snowing/raining/hailing? Ug, can't we get some good weather? Haven't we suffered through six months of winter weather?
Well it is just two days into the quarter. Break went by fast, as usual. Vancouver was fun, but next time will be even better! It was Easter (or white Easter as MA called it) plus a Sunday so most stuff was closed, but we had a good dinner. Room wasn't that bad either. It was nice being on vacay w/o the fam, the drive up didn't seem long at all. But it was nice to see them back from Mehico. I worked a lot, and when I wasn't working I saw lotsa people. When I wasn't doing either of those things I was watching the third season of Alias or sleeping away my life. I unfortunatly got addicted to that show! It's so good, and I've been meaning on watching it for a while but just hadn't had any time.
I've hopped back into the last gen chem class in the series. I feel so behind, with all these freshman around me. But it'll be alright, I plan on really studying to catch up as the last gen chem class was last summer!
Let's see...what else..
Antcipating going to Ikea and getting lots of furniture. I have most things planned out. I found this really cool shoe storage thing that's in the shape of a wheel and you put all your shoes in it. I don't have a million pairs of shoes but it looks like such an awesome idea.
My goal these next two and a half months is to focus really hard, this will seriously be my last math class. And last gen chem...which means o chem next year! That is a scary idea. Everyone will be coming home in a couple months and then summer.
Yes I am doing summer quarter again. It's just the only thing that works. Starting next year the classes will be less than five credits, but unfortunatly that doesn't mean they're easy...so this ensures I will graduate in four years. It seems that a lot of my homies are going to be gone anyways. Plus I'm looking into volunteer either at UWMC or Children's. Something to help me get my foot in the door, as they say. (Whoever "they" is!)

math is finito!
YAY! Done with math. Just finished the final an hour and a half ago. Now I'm doing chores around the house, cleaning up. Being responsible. :) I'm going to chill out for an hour or so then hit the books again for bio next Thursday! I want to do supergood on that exam. Like amazing. I'm contemplating what to make for lunch. My mom gave me money for food but I'm trying to save it for Canada. I do need to get milk soon though. I made waffles this morning for Penny and I but used up one of the two cartons they left me. Pasta? yummy...
Spring break is oh so close, yet oh so far..

March March March..
Wow. Really sorry haven't update in like a month. Things got nutso. And its already almost finals! Yikes...I'm kinda chillin today, before I ramp up for finals (midterms were this week). I went shopping with Steph, and to a baptism. Now I'm getting into the show Alias which I got from the library. It's pretty good so far, but I'm trying not to get super sucked into it.
So plans are final, I'm heading up to Canada during Spring Break with two of my good Greek friends. We're just going to stay the night, go out, have dinner and little fun, maybe shopping. I'm so pumped, I haven't been on a trip outside Seattle with just my friends before. The rest of the fam's headed to Cabo San Lucas, it's a family friend's timeshare, and that's the only time avaliable. I can't go because it's during finals which are immovable. I'm okay with that as Mexico isn't first on my list of destinations. Europe first! So Penny is going to stay with me, since my mom's all nervous about me staying home alone. I don't mind being alone (to study) but it's hard making food for one person. I might work a bit too, so I don't go insane.

Pledge to buy Handmade.
I'm sure you all will notice the new link just above these posts for etsy. They are thumbnails of my favorites. Okay, seriously you guys gotta check this site out. It's aMAZING! Everything is handmade by people all over the world, and there is some cool and crazy stuff on there. For example, I'm planning (when it comes back in stock) to get this print of a painting an artist did of Jim from the Office. This artists's online shop is filled with paintings of famous characters and movie scenes, such as from Breakfast at Tiffany's (I really want one of those too!) or Little Miss Sunshine, and there's also portraits of charcters from Lost and The Office. But yeah, I could spend hours on etsy. Its really fun to look at stuff. Go get addicted like me! And there's this cotton American Apparel screenprinted t-shirt dress (I know, I said I didn't like American Apparel but its cute- and well, kind of handmade). Then there's this cute pendant that says I love you in all these languages- even Greek!
But yeah, anyways its cold and dreary as ever in Sea Town. I can't wait till it gets warmer. I really love living in Seattle, I guess I appreciate the warmer days more.
So I think that's everything that's exciting in my life right now...I think I'm going to go be a little ahead for once and do some
bio reading. Laterz!

Second Chapter
I just read the Heath Ledger passed away. I had to read it about three times because I am completely blown away- he was still young. I couldn't wait to see his portrayal of the Joker in the next Batman film.
Anyways, getting into gear for midterms next week. This weekend Grace and I went to Build A Bear (I know, we're old but hey I've always wanted to go). I hesitated at first but then agreed to do it. I got this cute "Milk Chocolate Cub" and she (her name is Audrey) got a little UW tee. I got to help stuff it and put in the heart and make a wish..haha. I contemplated getting the Ariel outfit, but it was kinda expensive....maybe later :) She's so cute! I got the box you see people from Build A Bear carrying, I felt like a nerd but a good nerd carrying around my teddy I made. I showed Stephanie and she told me she'd also always wanted to do it. So check off one thing I've wanted to do. Only a million more things to go..
Alrighty, I best get to bed. I only got home an hour ago and still have a pre-lab and greek homework to do- in the morning I gotta get the kiddies ready for school. Night!

Harry Potter Numero Seven- Finally Finished!
Congrats to me- yesterday I finally finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows! Almost six months after it came out..wow haha. Did not expect to finish the entire series in half a year. I was getting bored by the first half, but then it picked up! I'm so mad about the deaths of the good guys, but I suppose every war has it casualties. Plus I still have a few unanswered questions. I just want to talk to someone about it. But I bet everyones like yeah whatever, already done that. Maybe Angela, I know two days after it came out she couldn't believe I hadn't read it all. I just didn't want it all to end!
One week into school and things are going pretty well. I'm loving biology, which is probably a good thing! I'm trying to be super studious this quarter and get at least a 3.3 or something in that class (its a really hard class so I'm okay with less than a 3.5, but def above a 3.0!). My TA is really nice, and I've already seen a ton of people I know either from chem or from my FIG last year or whatever. Math is gonna be a toughie too. Thankfully I'm keeping up on homework and trying to study for the quiz, cause apparently this proff's quizzes take about 50 minutes! I know! Pretty much almost as long as a midterm! Yikes. I'm kinda nervous bout that..
I saw Children of Men and Atonement this week. Both well made films, not my faves but well made and both slightly sad. Make you think and all that deep stuff.
Alrighty, I better get going- two quizzes tomorrow~ hope the years starting out well for you guys!

Almost there!!
Sorry I haven't updated in so long! Things always get crazy the last half of the quarter. So I've taken my Greek and Calculus finals, Intro to Folklore is on Tuesday. I've been studying for folklore all today and will be all tommorow. I've been taking my breaks, don't worry. :) Next quarter is so gonna suck! Yes! Well, I'm awaiting everyone's arrival, so until them I'm going to work since I've barely made any money this past month. No time to work.
Last night was fun, went out with Jenna and a bunch of friends to Red Robin. So bomb. I went all healthy and got the Caesar chicken wrap. Sometimes I don't think I should get the Teriyaki Burger cause you bite into it and it gets all over your face. Real cute. Saw the Dark Crystal, which I'd never seen before.
My family doesn't even have a christmas tree yet. I think we need to work on that. Pretty soon it'll be Christmas and then it won't matter anymore. And I need to get everyone's gifts. I know what I really want to get my mom, but its too expensive. Thankfully got some alternative ideas.
Blahhh..Okay. I really need to study. Folklore is very important, you know!

Quarter: Week 8
Yea~ in Bio! I know I like it now, but I'm actually taking the class I probably won't be as cheerful. Everything worked out, which is awesome. Kinda monotonous sched though. Guess it'll be easier to remember.
Folklore's pretty cool, we're reading jokes as homework which is okey dokey with me! I know some pretty good ones now. I made myself learn some jokes so that in case I ever get into an awkard social situation I can just be like, "So this guy walks into a bar..." haha.
I just can't believe that Thanksgiving's next week, eek. I am so ready to stuff my face, bring it on...

Chocolate :)
I know, I'm about to go to bed and I just ate like a fourth of a fat chocolate bar. Big eating no no. Hah! I feel good, all those endorphins. I can smell the chocolate bar just waiting for me to chomp it down. But I ain't that dumb- I know I won't feel good if eat that whole thang.
No but seriously even though I keep telling myself I'm going to I just gotta start excercising every couple days. Yikes. Mainly toning. It's so cold though... I mean I've got a super nice facility- the IMA- but it's like i gotta go all the way to the montlake side of campus..and gotta walk pretty far when I'm done to get to the 48 stop. So I'll be dead either when I get to the IMA or after I'm done at the IMA. I'm pretty lazy.
I'm really sorry I haven't been updating. Things are slightly nuts, as I'm sure everyone knows what thats like. Example, I got registration in six hours, yes six in the AM. But thankfully I've discovered it actually opens at 5:55 am, hopefully not too many other people know that! And 50 spots left in bio...ahhh! Sorry if I keep bring bio up, but it's the one class I've been trying and trying to get into. Seriously, I will be pissed if I don't get in this quarter.
Anyone remember that song by Savage Garden "like a chick a cherry cola..." those are pretty much still the only words I know! It's really hard to learn it. I'm going through another phase right now where I'm getting tired of my music, and I'd thought I'd never get tired of 4300 songs..oh it's so possible!
I've taken it upon myself to pursuade my dad to get my mom another wedding ring for christmas- its kinda sad, hers broke. So she only has her gold band engagement ring. It's just not right!! I want to do something really nice for her anyways, a gift that's special.
So I've decided to get a haircut. My mom agreed to pay for it to be cut at Habitude if I promised to change it. So..I said okay, how about I trim off a couple inches. She's like that's it?! And I said, well and I'll cut my bangs too! haha..I just don't know many styles that I don't have to do a ton for it to look good with my hair. Well maybe they could thin it out, like this one hairdresser from Greenwood Academy did. It didn't feel any thinner though! I think it's really funny, everyone whose ever cut my hair always asks me if my head feels lighter after a haircut..umm not really.
Well, I best get some shut eye so I can get up and fight off everyone for registration...later guys!

So I'll be dead either when I get to the IMA or after I'm done at the IMA. I'm pretty lazy.
I'm really sorry I haven't been updating. Things are slightly nuts, as I'm sure everyone knows what thats like. Example, I got registration in six hours, yes six in the AM. But thankfully I've discovered it actually opens at 5:55 am, hopefully not too many other people know that! And 50 spots left in bio...ahhh! Sorry if I keep bring bio up, but it's the one class I've been trying and trying to get into. Seriously, I will be pissed if I don't get in this quarter.
Anyone remember that song by Savage Garden "like a chick a cherry cola..." those are pretty much still the only words I know! It's really hard to learn it. I'm going through another phase right now where I'm getting tired of my music, and I'd thought I'd never get tired of 4300 songs..oh it's so possible!
I've taken it upon myself to pursuade my dad to get my mom another wedding ring for christmas- its kinda sad, hers broke. So she only has her gold band engagement ring. It's just not right!! I want to do something really nice for her anyways, a gift that's special.
So I've decided to get a haircut. My mom agreed to pay for it to be cut at Habitude if I promised to change it. So..I said okay, how about I trim off a couple inches. She's like that's it?! And I said, well and I'll cut my bangs too! haha..I just don't know many styles that I don't have to do a ton for it to look good with my hair. Well maybe they could thin it out, like this one hairdresser from Greenwood Academy did. It didn't feel any thinner though! I think it's really funny, everyone whose ever cut my hair always asks me if my head feels lighter after a haircut..umm not really.
Well, I best get some shut eye so I can get up and fight off everyone for registration...later guys!

So I guess I'm stupid now!
Yes. Today was le grande day. I'm officially wisdom toothless. It actually wasn't that bad. I got some nitrous oxide and an IV. I just remember the doctor saying I was gonna start feeling sleepy and so I closed my eyes and then woke up like a second later. And they gave me an ice pack and a cute stuffed animal. My dad got my meds and frozen peas to keep any swelling down. I've had that on my face all day. I told him I'm not eating peas for a while...And felt nauseous afterward because apparently that's what happens when you swallow blood. Sorry if I'm bein gross. Afterwards weren't bad except when I took some of my meds I got pretty sleepy. And been bleeding a little today. No real pain or swelling-sweet! But I bet cause I wrote that I just jinxed myself and am gonna wake up tomorrow all chipmunk faced. hahaha... Can't drive till Sunday either which is lame. But it would be really lame getting a DUI for general anesthesia from a wisdom tooth extraction.
I've only eaten ice cream and jello pudding all day. DUDE. Heart beating all fast...I'm not supposed to do anything really stressful or physical so I didn't really do any homework. It was awesome.
Yea I deserve it cause I actually spent five hours yesterday on math- that's never ever happened before and I'm so proud of myself. 12 hours at school. So that makes up for missing school today.
Alrighty betta get to bed cause me startin to feel sleppy. (Midterms were this week.) And maybe that stuff I took. I don't know what its called...yea..
But now this quarter is almost half over! Yay!

Initiation Night
Penny turned 21 this week. So yesterday, in honor of that joyous occasion, she held a cocktail party last night/this morning. I have now finally attended a college party~ and it wasn't until my sophmore year. Sad, I know. But it was really fun, and I had a great time. I got to dress up in my little black dress I'd bought with P-Li and spent forever straightening my hair and carefully choosing some classy look makeup wise. Got another use out of my gold heels! Yes! That makes three special ocassions I've used them- winter ball, prom and this party. I only knew like five people who were there- and there were a ton of people going in and out.
And apparently I look like a hotter version of Sarah Silverman, go figure. It was funnay~one guy was like," You look like Sarah Silverman!" I gave a puzzled look (cause I'd never thought we looked alike) and he was like, "well, you know, except a little prettier.." Oh man, hahaha..
I brought Carolee with me as I was allowed to bring guests, and I figured she'd know Addison too, not just me. I got to meet some people, went to Dicks and had the best fries I've had in a while (its across the street from Penny's house) and danced and all that jazz. Didn't leave till three, which was fine except I should be at work at nine, but thankfully its pretty lax (but that doesn't mean I shouldn't come in on time anyway). I was pretty exhausted and slept in till like 9:30. So only like five hours of sleep but its all good. I've been able to survive on three-but I do NOT reccomend that. I do believe in that REM cycle I learned in psych- get sleep in multiples of three when you get REM sleep cause then you'll wake up easier than if you woke up during a REM cycle.
My head just hurts cause in my rush to leave I was bending over to get my car keys from my purse, and I just pulled the car door open without moving my head out of the way and almost knocked myself out. It was actually kinda funny. So this spot on my head hurts. Oh well! This stupid moment presented to you by yours truly.
RANT: I so grateful to my Folklore prof. So we had to write this paper and submit it online, which was technically due the 19th by 12 AM (so Friday night). But even though the thing online says our paper will be late, as long as we email him beforehand, we can turn in the paper later (like a couple days). I just turned mine in at 11:59 Saturday night. I don't know why the heck it takes me forever to write a simple 5 page paper. It took about nine hours sitting at the computer trying to put something down (I wasn't focused the whole time-whoops). Ug. Def not an English major. Well, I hope I get a good grade. The paper's about folksongs and traditions, and so I wrote about my mom singing Greek songs when I was younger. It was really nice to reminsce. Too bad my ending was bad, I said something like I hope when I'm older I can sing these songs to my children too. HaHAhaha...oh well, its my own fault if I get a sucky grade. Next paper (thankfully only one more in this class) I'll do better. See that's the nice thing, I haven't written a paper since spring quarter. That's one things I love about science classes. Unfortunately you still do writing in those classes, but its not essays!
ANYways, I really should go to bed. Tommorow I've got to study for my folklore and calculus midterms on Tuesday! Plus a Greek quiz on Monday. Yay! (Nay!)

Back to Routine
Dang, no bio this quarter. Of course the one quarter I decide to take it everyone decides to show up that registered to lab. The lady there she doesn't think that's ever happened before. Pretty much the first week of school was the most stressful. I literally lost my appetite, deciding Greek or chem, which was based on getting into bio. But I decided not to take chem 162 (at least for now), which means I won't be with people I know if I decide to take it later on. I realize that I'm okay with my decision, and I shouldn't be trying to base these decisions on who is in the class (although knowing someone in a hard class like that def helps). I can't fit in four classes anyways..I still need Bio, Greek and Math 125. I've accepted that I'm probably going to do summer quarter again, which will either be finishing up the Bio series or doing an O-Chem class (ew). But only ONE class this time. I really need to work and make the moolah so I can pay for school and go to Europe (hopefully).
The funny thing is that I went into Greek the first day expecting to see Elias since I knew he was taking it. I see a couple people I know from church camp and I laugh cause it's like I know most of the class (only 15 people). Turns out I kinda know the professor too, he goes to church with a family we know in Tacoma. Really hilarious to me. But this class is totally my fave, it's all in Greek (except at the end of class he speaks English to explain things) and the time goes by so fast cause I'm all focusing in learning and saying the right thing. Much better than Greek school.
So my parents approached me about moving downstairs, as in where my yiayia lived. I guess I kinda don't have a choice, as I'm currently hesistant to move down there. Firstly because yeah, I'm still emotionally unstable every time I go down there. Secondly, I've learned to love my room, even if it is puny! I mean, they said I could have get togethers and have people over late cause sometimes they can't sleep when I have friends over. So that's cool. And there is a TV down there, but that's not a neccessity for me. My mom was like, "Well we can go to Ikea, get a new carpet and you can get a couch and some other things.." But I really can't stand to change anything. I've grown up with that area being hers, even though I know as she was a completely selfless person that she wouldn't mind, but still...I don't know. Thankfully even if this does happen it won't be for a bit.
Today I had my consultation for my wisdom teeth. The same guy who did Penny's teeth and kinda slashed out part of her tounge. OK, I know that sounded violent. She actually used the word scraped instead of slash. But I met the guy and he seemed nice. My surgery's on a Friday and hopefully I will recover physically (i.e. no major swelling) by Monday. I've talked to like everyone I know about their experiences and of course each person is different. Guess I'll have to wait and see.
Well, hope all you guys are having a good year so far! Only two more months till winter break!

First Day Of School
...its wierd to be back in school, fall quarter. I forgot how busy it is. I wonder why it's the busiest quarter? Anyways, the day was okay, I'm still trying to figure out my schedule and hoping that someone drops Biology so I can get in. And now I'm all worried about taking the last general chemistry class, which is the same time as the greek class I'm currently registered in. I know people in both classes and I know I shouldn't base my choice on that. But it doesn't help that chem's pretty much closed...ahh. Woes of me. I won't describe all my troubles here. Plus my cell has this problem again where I can only hear speakerphone. It sucks.
Well better get some sleep, my head hurts and I gotta be in class bright and early at 9AM..calculus..yay....NOT.

...
I miss her so much. And there's this guilt, for not visiting as much during her last days. Friday was the worst. Seeing her made it so painful and real. My emotions are so scattered these past couple days. Every now and then I lose it. I'm so glad she's not in pain anymore, but not having her here is a horrible feeling. Going downstairs is so painful, just too many memories. I'm actually sad that I can have friends over late and not worry about making too much noise. I actually cried when America's Funniest Videos came on- we watched that with her during the last year. The house just isn't the same. The worst thing is that the last time I talked with her I was when I told her happy birthday. But I know that she knew I really cared and loved her, and that's what matters.

meh.
I just found out that I have to get my wisdom teeth taken out. Not really suprised but I'm dreadin it! I know that I won't have it done until after summer quarter, in September when I get my quick "second" summer break. At least I know that tingly feeling isn't actually a cavity.
So yea..haven't hung out with anyone yet. And this party thing is going bad. I wanted to do it Saturday but Ian and Carolee can't come then and Ian's gonna be leaving! And I understand everyone's working...I think I will just have people over. Yup. And it will have to be late.
