exciting week!

Monday:
at work was really cool. i'm starting to like this job more and more, too bad i don't get more hours, i needs the money. i checked out the gym came back chilled for 15mins and repeat. boss's daughter came by today, she's nice. i was still confused about what to call this guy, either frances or francois? boss's daughter says that francois is his stripper name, i told frances that i didn't know he was a stripper, and i felt weird, hahaha!

came home to find out taht we got a new hamster as a pet. ann named him andy warhol bomb.com, yeah long name. bad news, one of the fish died, it was Tony's fish, Homely Superstar. Homely Superstar only had two working fins and was already tiny. so it wasn't a surprise when it died, it was just disappointing.

Tuesday:
i didn't have my psych section so i didn't go to class and i actually got to sleep in a bit longer. i had to study for psych so i just sat outside reading, the radio was turned on and everyone was actually studying or reading. i felt that we needed more of these kinds of days, so i'm going to impliment study hours on Wednesday. we all need those extra hours of studying and quiet to catch up on homework and reading.

Wednesday:
was kinda hectic. i had class, a psych experiment, my passtime and KP meeting. all the roommates had to go shopping for halloween costumes. so we went to a few thrift shops for ideas and stuff to wear. i found some welding goggles so i'm going to be dr. horrible. i knew i wanted to be betty rubble so i found a blue oversized skirt and going to make that into a dress. that skirt was a size 12 and long. after shopping we ate at Denny's yum! i was late for my passtime but we had to go to KP meeting. so i hurried and got all my classes. the meeting was a bit boring but watever. i got dropped off at home and missed my shows, sad. oh well.

Thursday (Today):
i didn't study last night for my psych test so i was hoping that my lab was going to end early. too bad it took the WHOLE 3 hours of lab. the lab wasn't fun but not boring either. we had to work in fours instead of pairs, so we partnered with people sitting across from us. brian was not happy for a bit, he said that he wanted to slap one of them. we had to fix our plants but Brian's plants died, he said i killed them by just giving them a look. he also pulled a lot of "that's what she said" stuff on me. i was holding this one thing and i said "this thing's so big i can't even grip it" or something of that sort. my poor lab partner is so nervous about meeting Andrew, the singer of Jack's Mannequin. he adores Andrew. lab was long but we had a lot of stuff to do. apparently we did the lab wrong, but whatever it was close enough and we just borrowed someone else's results, hahahha! it really took the whole lab. so i didn't get a chance to study.

i raced over to my class tried to cram all i could. i thought the test was going to be really hard because i didn't study a lot, but i did do all my reading so it was okay. the test wasn't too difficult, even though there were a few questions i didn't know at all, but i could use a lot of process of elimination to get the answer.

tonight is the Jack's Mannequin concert, i'm really excited!!! plus i've heard of the opening acts: Eric Hutchinson, he's on VH1 in the morning, i even saw him this morning; and Treaty of Paris, i've heard of them but not their music. YAY!

Fall Carnival

today the apartment complex had a fall carnival. it was pretty great. there was food, drinks, fish pong, pumpkin painting, and various games.

mary and tony won a fish each, i was intensely jealous cuz i want a fish too. soon the fish were gone, only one was left so the game became one fish one cup. it went on for a while, i was really close a couple times. finally this girl won and the game was over. sad.

we painted some pumpkins, ate some and enjoyed a band that was just around. it was a very enjoyable day. i stole a bunch of veggies and dip. fun fun fun!

hahahahha

i would have blogged a bit more but i've been forgetting and lazy.

on monday i had work and it wasn't so bad because boss guy wasn't in, so i just chilled with the guys and didn't do much. i had a lot of fun doing nothing. work's only boring because i don't talk or interact with anyone. i wonder if i can get another job, i'm getting so few hours, only 4 hours a week. lame. i needs my money! i only have 100bucks in my checking. textbooks were so expensive this quarter, that's why i'm almost broke. i don't get anymore money until next quarter, in december. =(

tuesday was a tad boring. in the ucen i found a different puzzle, it was a andy worhol marilyn monroe collage. i worked on it for a total of 4 hours. i almost finished but filling the edges was hard so i just went home and decided to come back the next day. much later at night mary, ann and i went to yolanda's place to eat some guatemalan food. it was good and we check out their apartment, it's a lot newer and has FT furniture.

today on my one hour break i finished the puzzle! yay! too bad there was one piece missing, but i wasn't too upset about that. we roommates took a lot of pictures on mika's macbook. lots of fun!

busy friday

yesterday was really stressful in the morning. i took a shower to wake me up since i don't know how to make coffee and it'd get all jittery and stuff.

i was kinda nervous about my bio midterm. my lab partner sat next to me and the music people played that "paper planes" song by MIA. it was stuck in my head when i was taking the test. that part sucked, but i think i did very well on it, considering i only studied for bio for only a day.

o-chem was a whole different story. since i got out early from bio i had a bit more time to study right before the o-chem midterm. actually looking at the test, i was shocked, it wasn't what i was expecting. i felt like i was screwed. on some questions i didn't know what it was asking. it wasn't a multiple choice test, but there were questions that asked either or. i just guessed on those either-or questions so i have no idea how i did on this test. i left the test with a headache. blah!

hours later i had to go to work, and i was super bored because i had no one to talk to. i was walking around and found a place to sit. i just rested for a bit and i almost fell asleep. one of the other guys caught me laying down. later he said he got a kick outta it because that's what they used to do. i was glad when i got out of work.

afterwards we headed off to starbucks friday. i wasn't so thirsty but hungry so i went next door to the sushi place and bought a Mika roll, it's like a california roll but with cream cheese and shrimp tempura, it's really good. it hit the spot, i love sushi!!!

we were going to go to the soccer game but i fell asleep and didn't feel good cuz i've been up for so long and i took two midterms very early this morning.

but later we went to bowling. the first frame i got two gutter balls, lol but i did a lot better during the night. bowling was fun and free!

roxy

today i bought my Jack's Mannequin ticket, wooh! it was $23 not bad since the venue is quite small. i just have to start listening to their music, hahhahah!

Roxy and Emergen-C teamed up together with some breast cancer awareness program and came to our school. with any donations, you get a free pair of roxy flip flops, sorta custom made by yourself! i got this brown base ones, with cute circles and matched with the a white "thong". i donated $5, that's a lot for me to donate, but it's worth it, for breast cancer and free flip flops. also got a bunch of pamphlets and a CD. i'm really happy with my stuff right now.

i still have to do a bunch of stuff today though, meetings, turning stuff in, catch up on my shows, and maybe take a nap.

worky work work

today was my first day of work. i didn't expect anything out of this except just a normal job. gooooosh it was boring as hell. all i did was walk around a gymnasium for 2 hours! although i did find an arrow, from a bow and arrow, and kept it. it's my prize for today. i walked inside the actual basketball courts and the women's basketball team didn't like it. they didn't express it but i felt it. so i didn't go in there again. i must have walked around that gym 30 times. i caught some guy changing, it was really weird, so i turned around and left. i got very bored, so i kept going back to the locker storage place where some staff people hang out as their job. i made friends with one guy, named travis, he's nice and easily belittled. also i got a free staff shirt, i felt cool and important, even though i was just wandering aimlessly around the gym.

it wasn't a bad job, i just need to bring a book with me next time. i guess i got some work done, so watever.

p.s. over the last three days i've eaten literally 10 plates/bowls of spaghetti. i'm so addicted, but the carbs!

helen's birthday party

the party was fun, i felt really at home. the food was bomb too. there was spaghetti, chowder and roasted potatoes. while eating a bunch of us just watched the office. we were watching fun run and the launch party episode. good stuff. we played some rockband 2, there are a lot of songs i don't know. plus there are a lot more songs.

i got a bday card from cynthia and helen. cynthia got me a great present for my bday. a freaking great play-doh set. i stole some kid's dream. it's sooo awesome!!!

it was just really fun to be at home. i miss it a lot.

joy oh joy

cool Jack's Mannequin is going to perform at my school. sorta bad news, it's on October 30th. my bio lab partner told me. i was going to text people but i couldn't figure out how to spell mannequin. oh well.

during lab we had to rip apart some fruit fly larvae under a microscope. it was disgusting. we had to get the salivary glands and dye it then squish it under a slide. then looked at the chromosomes. i'm super good at the microscopes. lab was sorta boring, my partner was outta it. at the end of the lab we looked at our plants, mine grew pretty well. then we had to play god and perform natural selection. snip snip.

work

today i slept in again. i feel so bad but i'm so dead tired in the morning. i need like 8 hours of sleep and i get 7 hours for those early morning classes.

after class i went to training for my job. i work at a gym so i saw a bunch of hottiesss!!! it's not the gym most used but it's still use by athletes. the volleyball guys were so hot and tall. went through some safe issues we have to watch out for. my worst fear was about the hobos. but luckily the guys have to deal with them.

i got to put out a fire with an CO2 extinguisher. that was exciting and fun. at the end of it we went to the locker stockroom. the most goodlooking guy was there working. his eyes were beautiful....they actually sparkled. i could have possibly swooned. i'm scheduled for Monday and Friday from 2-4pm. that will get me out of the house for a bit, and i'll get paid. $8.50 a hour but i only get a pay check for every month. so i get about $136, but probably less because they take out taxes. hmm...i need some more hours. maybe someone will quit.

after we went to the jacuzzi i am so sore for jujitsu yesterday. so we sat around the hot tub with apparently hot guys. i couldn't see, i didn't have my glasses on. oh well!

overall a good day.

wacky

this morning i woke up and didn't feel like going to my 8am class. i felt really bad but when i woke up an hour and a half later, i felt awesome. i still feel a little guilty about not going to class. my body does not react well from lack of sleep. maybe i have to stop staying up so late, meaning midnight, at the latest.

for my job i filled in some paperwork and whatnot. lots of forms. but i have training tomorrow yay! don't ask what my job is, i'm not even sure.

went with mika to jujitsu. warmed up and stretch, i learned how to fall and kiya! i don't like to kiya because i'm so loud and i'm just shy with all the other people around. learn a bit. it was fun sorta but i think i'm too much of a beginner to be in that class. i'm physically tired.

p.s. in psych i saw a video of how they did lobotomies back in the day. it was horrible. they used an ice pick put it right above the eyeball and started hammering away. so primitive!

good day

today was relatively great. went to school early as usual but wasn't as dead tired like before. went to my psych experiment, it was a virtual world experiment. kinda lame, just went to a virtual word for like 20mins, i was a little bit busy. the overall experiment was kinda lame. oh well. i then went to the ucen and put together some more pieces of the puzzle, didn't look like anyone worked on it since. went to tutoring and home for a nap. my regular schedule.

but after the nap, i felt good. ate an awesome cookie. browsing the interwebs and weezer posted the new music video, which cynthia and i are in. we got some more shots than i expected which is good. got to talk to cynthia on the phone for once. while going to call cynthia i found a missed call and a voicemail. it was the lady that's going to give me a job, wooh! oh and one more thing, i looked good going to school today.

oh btw, here's the music video:

p.s. i'm to the left of the drummer, wearing a red beater.

geez drinking...vent

yesterday was liv's bday party, where a bunch of people gathered and drank. i guess i was up for it. we played king's cup a really fun game until it gets to the waterfall card, then the people at the end (me) get screwed over. so after a whole deck everyone was pretty drunk. i threw up because i don't think my liver could take it. after that i felt better, less alcohol in my system.

two people (who do not wish to be identified) totally hooked up, i saw it coming but it was just awkward for everyone. they were super drunk/wasted pretty much. so we left around 3 am, i had sobered up already. got home took care of the couple.

the next morning one of them was still drunk, i do not like that person drunk. it annoys me, reminds me of all the other people in santa barbara. not cool, maybe that was why i was bitchy or something. i dunno.

later today we played flip cup, i tried to refrain from drinking. i took half a shot which didn't do much and drank ginger ale the rest of the night. some people got drunk faster than others. the couple then got back together. sure the game was fun, but i do not like to deal with drunk people. but of course i feel bad and have to be the mom. i hate being the mom/baby sitter. also they're my friends so what can do just leave them? no, even though i want to real badly.

maybe i have to go make new friends. everyone's been saying i have to get out more. sorta feels like freshman year, but worse because i didn't hang out with drunkards for most of the year. now i'm stuck with some. drinking in the UK was much more different and much less awkward. in the UK it's more of a chill thing. but now even drinking in the apartment has gotten out of hand, it's become just like the rest of santa barbara.

oh i love thursdays

last night i went to sleep pretty late, 1:30am, late for me. but luckily i had a 9am lab the next day. doesn't sound nice but considering i have 8am classes 4 days a week, an extra hour of sleep goes a long way.

last year i had chem and physics labs. chem sucked ass and physics was so easy. so i didn't know what to expect for my bio lab. i walked into the room and i thought i was doomed, there were MACs everywhere. this did not look good. plus i felt like the oldest person. we all introduced ourselves, i couldn't here half the people, but there were some third years here and there. plus everyone laughed at/with my introduction. my "interesting thing" was that i couldn't wait to watch the office tonight. everyone's voice was so quiet, when i said something it was a boom compared to others.

before we started we watched a safety video, it was soooo funny, it was old but it was the acting that was hilarious. when something caught on fire this asian guy makes a surprised face and puts his hands on his face, like "uh oh hotdog". the acting was just bad, but so bad it's funny.

so lab started we played with some microscopes. my partner was a guy, i don't remember his name, oops, lol! but he was very nice, not sure if he was gay or just enthusiastic. i think it's the latter but i'm not sure. we looked at stuff through the microscopes, looked a Euglea and some pond scum. i'm bomb at microscopes, yay! it was sooo cool. we even played with some rolly pollies, some of them were dead, poor things.

at the end of class we had to plant some seeds and grow them. this scares me, i'm bad at plant management. everying i touch dies, plant-wise. somehow i was the last person to finish watering my seeds. overall i love my bio lab, get to play with live stuff and grow things.

got out of lab early so i went to the ucen, a band was playing and were giving out free ice cream sandwiches. i got neopolitan yum.

then off to psych, i like that class a lot so it was a great ending to the day. plus tonight is the office, yay!

p.s. no one on project runway got kicked off. i hate kenley!

quick blog

i don't think i'm going to have a lot of time to blog. i'm trying to put a lot of effort into school now. although i do stray a lot as well.

for almost every class i have to print out notes, that's such a waste of my ink, i just doesn't run out at a bad time. for one set of notes i printed out 5 pages, with me trimming and resizing them. geez!

today my bio teacher said that he had a bouncer, it was cute and funny. on the way to a class i saw this larger boy wear a shirt that said "dunder mifflin" across his moobs, not pleasant for me.

i'm adjusting my bio notes and it's taking me freaking forever. ugh!
