01:28 pm - Home Sweet Home

Oh man it is sooooo nice to be home after such a stressful end to the semester including my birthday!!! I really want to thank everyone who made it so special by coming to the dinner on Saturday and to the pub on Tuesday. I was kinda disappointed that more people didn't come but since my birthday always falls at the end of finals no one is in town or is still studying....oh well....but now I am home and I get to work on my grad school stuff. Oh and I bought myself a MacBook which I am using right now to type right now :)

11:17 am - BLAH

there is too much to say and even more to do....the weekender was a blast and my hair turned out okay. For those of you who weren't there or didn't see, I was a punk with a mohawk...kinda! Anyway now i am in my favorite class Los Angeles: The Fiction... mostly i like it because I can do stuff like update my LJ and write grad school applications as the professor just reads our paragraph responses and other stuff. Dude it is nice to have a chill class although I am not really sure I like the grading. I get my midterm back today i think...hopefully it will be good news because i actually worked really hard on it.

Just for fun I thought I would list things that make me happy right now
*sleeping
*In-N-Out (thanks Cati!!!)
*Lattes
*Tea
*Fish and chips
*the clam chowder I had at Fisherman's Wharf...yummy!!!
*Hogan's Heroes
*clean clothes
*fun roommates who put up with my craziness
*the fact that there are only 3-4 weeks left in the semester
*good food
*good friends

somehow I feel like i am neglecting the last thing but next semester will hopefully be better. I have gotten a lot done actually this week... considering that most of it was just cleaning and putting my life back together!!! Wow I never thought that i would actually say that.
I think that is it for now...

12:45 am - hummm

so I am officially running down to the wire on my second econ assignment... the thing is due at 8 am tomorrow aka in 8 hours...let's see what happens. There will definitely be many updates... I figure if I get this done quickly I could have a shot in hell of getting a few hours of sleep but i think that this is an overly optimistic sentiment...

11:16 am - sigh

I think I have finally learned how to deal with stupid people that try to make my life miserable....ignore them!!! and it works sooooooo well. And if they try to talk to you walk away or just respond back to them in a way which makes them understand that they are pissing you off and that they should never ever talk to you again...sometimes I really like being a bitch ;)


Oh yeah and ARLT 101 can kiss my ass!!!!

Yeah school is going well too... i just feel really drained with everyone pulling me in multiple directions...somehow I need to anchor myself for the bumpy ride ahead...and no one tell me that I should become more religious...bah to you!! anyhoo...I need to finish this quick write up for my class tomorrow morning...already the school work is getting to me! OH well all I have on Friday is guitar which I am super excited to take!!! Peace out ppl

days until i am in San Diego: 4

man this isn't much time to do everything that i have to do which includes laundry, packing, and a stop on Oxford street to pick up b-day presents, books, and stuff from Lush the best store in the world!! The weather is actually behaving today--its sunny but there is a cool breeze. Sigh some stuff i have to wait on packing until tomorrow (face stuff etc) and it is just hard for me to pack things in an organized manner...this is Andy's job...where is he?? in LA well he can't help it b/c he is poor like me although i have been really good about money this trip. i am so proud of myself... that is it for now i guess...onto laundry and packing!! FUN!!

05:06 pm - grr

what do you do when you have a feeling that someone likes your bf??? i don't know b/c honestly i have never had this problem before...i always feel like when this certain person (who is also is in a relationship) talks to him that they think "Wow he seems like a great guy why didn't i go out with him before." and the thing is that we are sorta friends too which makes this whole thing really fucking weird...i think i should have taken up smoking cigarettes so i could just piss her off...i don't know why that would piss her off exactly but it is just something to do i guess...

sigh

the countdown continues

days until i leave for london: 3

days until i am in San Diego: 5

i am really going crazy though about my summer situation...and how i am going to juggle work and band duties...FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK and that is all i can say about that!!

09:11 am - its raining still

seriously i have NEVER seen this much rain in my entire life...now i know what people from NorCal and the other Western states say when they talk about rain...you would think after a while the clouds wouldn't have any moisture left but they do...Today is proof that they do...yeah i have to revise a lot more today but i also wanted to go into town and get some new yarn for a new project :) yes that is right ladies and gents i finished an afghan...the blanket...:) GO ME!!! So so proud and i think there is only one really bad mistake which is a first for me ;) well now its off to breakfast...i can't believe i have to go outside in this rain....GAAAHH shoot me now!!

10:48 pm - bored

yeah well the choices for entertainment are randomly surfing the web, reading more for my contemporary European Security exam, or going to bed...i think i vote for the last one but i am mad...andy lost his wallet in Italy but in his email he says "I don't know when you will hear from me again" I guess losing your wallet affects your ability to think and type...geez
i swear if it isn't one thing from him it is another

yeah so its off to bed for me and then another wonderful day of revising...man exams have NEVER seemed sooo stretched out like this...oh well another country another way of doing things.

May. 17th, 2006

12:21 pm - happy day

yeah i don't know why i am so happy right now...andy hasn't emailed/talked to me in about 3 days and it is raining again...maybe its b/c i actually like the rain...it gives me an excuse not to do much except take nice long baths and drink lots of nice warm tea :) Yeah it has been very quiet lately around here b/c everyone is revising for exams...or if you live in the upstairs half of my house one person went home for a couple days and the other is nocturnal...there you go :) so i am pretty much on my own upstairs but tonight we are all going out b/c it is pretty much the last time everyone will be able to go out...Arabella just finished two exams in the past two days and is leaving the day after her last one which is the day i have my second one...and then i have my last one on May 26th and then i am hanging out with Amy and Caroline on Saturday and then maybe going hiking on Sunday...and then monday is packing day :( BOOOOOO i absolutely hate packing...speak of packing i have to do laundry at some point today b/c i have no underwear left :( sad i know when that is how you determine when to do laundry... i better get on that now.

Current Mood: [mood icon] cheerful

May. 16th, 2006

10:52 am - sigh...

yeah i am really bored right now...i had to wake up really early to return some DVDs i borrowed from the library...and now i should be revising but the reading concerning nationalism theories is soooooo boring...seriously i almost fell asleep in the library..and contemporary European Security isn't any better...man this semester really feels like it is dragging on...b/c here we only have 15 lectures...where at USC we have 15 WEEKS of lectures...yeah but finals week at USC is only 1.5 weeks long where as at Aber it is 3 weeks...sigh oh well i will be missing school when i have to work this summer...i really wish i didn't have to and could just learn to drive, go to the beach, and take my online ECON course...but i need money to eat next year and since i have scholarships USC took my work study money away :( Why couldn't they take my loans away instead seriously... well i think i may take a nap...or study more or read some Arabic b/c i am not taking Arabic 4 until next spring...EEP!! that isn't good at all

Current Mood: [mood icon] blah

May. 15th, 2006

06:49 pm - one down two to go

yeah so i had my first exam today...didn't go too too bad...definitely could have studied more but i think that is what everyone says about their exams...i have about 10 minutes to my interview for the British American Student Ambassador thing...basically you just promote studying in the UK... which shouldn't be too hard for me since i have had an awesome experience here...but the weather turned really weird again...seriously this morning it was raining and then when my friend Amy and i started to go into town it started pouring down rain...which wasn't fun considering we actually had to be out in it...oh well we had a fun afternoon. I ended up getting a pair of red roxy flip flops for 12 pounds...not too shabby :) i think they are a bit small but i don't care they look cute :) and i am sure the straps will stretch a bit...well now i only have 8 minutes left to wait...and for some weird reason there is really thick fog outside...i am glad that i have nothing left to do tonight...except choose my concepts for revision for my other two exams, watch Homicide: Life on the Street which is really good!!! i wonder how long it was on before it got cancelled...definitely is almost as good as Law and Order and Dragnet...my two favorite police TV shows :)...only 6 minutes left until my interview...EEP!!!

yeah for some reason i am not hungry at all...i should eat though to keep my metabolism up...i probably am not going to be able to do all of my workout tomorrow b/c i do my sprints on the grass and the grass will probably be soaked...sigh...maybe i'll just do the weights...i have to see what tomorrow brings :)
