So yeah I need to be writing my second grad school essay which is due on the 5th...well it really should be done by now b/c it has to be at Columbia on Friday...oh well.

It will get done sooner rather than later....because I have to!!

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 :)

BEAT THE WOLVERINES!!!

BLAH

Thu, 09 Nov 2006 18:17:13 GMT

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...

hummm

Wed, 01 Nov 2006 07:45:53 GMT

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...

sigh

Tue, 10 Oct 2006 18:18:24 GMT

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!!!!

sigh

Fri, 22 Sep 2006 03:05:45 GMT

just when everything seems like its coming together...it all falls apart

long time no update eh?

Thu, 24 Aug 2006 06:06:16 GMT

Yeah I made it through my last band camp ever....with my sanity barely intact...who knew one evil bitter old man could cause so much drama!!! Yeah co-section leader definitely is going even better than i expected maybe b/c Patrick and I actually respect each other...imagine that!

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

countdown until home!

Tue, 30 May 2006 21:52:47 GMT

yeah well i am going to be home soon...dude time goes so quickly when you are having a great time!!! I am so excited b/c i get to go shopping tomorrow...i am going to the foreign language bookstore, then to Lush the best cosmetics place in the world so i can get something that will keep my skin pretty, and then to Paperchase...dude i hope i don't break my bank b/c i seriously could do some damage...lol :)

that's all for now..talk to you all later

one last day

Mon, 29 May 2006 14:34:14 GMT

i have one more day here in Aber...it has been an awesome semester and i have really learned a lot about myself and the world in the past 4 months...but now it is time to pack...AHHHH i absolutely hate hate hate packing with a passion. sigh it has to be done...

bittersweet

Sun, 28 May 2006 09:52:26 GMT

countdown

days until i leave for London: 2

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!!

grr

Sat, 27 May 2006 16:11:04 GMT

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!!

ALL DONE!!!!

Fri, 26 May 2006 16:49:42 GMT

done with exams!!!

days until i go back to London: 4

days until i go back to san diego: 6

you know what this calls for....getting drunk!!!

urgh

Thu, 25 May 2006 17:19:04 GMT

one more exam...and that's it...wow i feel like i have been away from home for 6 years not 6 months.

anyway the countdown goes on...

days until my third exam: 1 (tomorrow...that is scary!!)

days until i go back to London: 5

days until i go back to San Diego: 7

less than a week for everything DAMN! well i should get back to studying except i keep having really bad heartburn/stomach aches...just like my junior year of high school...and nothing i eat or do helps AT ALL and i have to take an exam tomorrow!! oh yeah and pack this weekend/Monday which i hate doing...how i wish andy was here with me now :( He would do it for me ;)

Well back to studying...at least tomorrow at this time i will be done with the semester!!!

and so the countdown begins

Tue, 23 May 2006 08:51:39 GMT

days until my second exam: 1

days until my last exam: 3

days until I go back to London: 7

days until I go back to San Diego: 9

how scary is this list...all in the single digits...AHHHH!!! yeah oh and i forgot that my 2 year anniversary with Andy is also tomorrow...geez it is really hard to believe that 2 years ago i was in China...and now i am in the UK...i just love not being in the US well okay i miss all my friends and Mexican food but other than that i am really trying hard to remember what it is about the US in general that i really miss...and i am coming up with nothing...San Diego i always miss when i am not there. That is my home forever and ever...i may even end up living there at some point who knows

Well enough with this i have to get back to studying as i have an exam tomorrow...AHHH!!!

its raining still

Mon, 22 May 2006 08:15:48 GMT

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!!

bored

Sat, 20 May 2006 22:00:16 GMT

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.

what a night!!!

Thu, 18 May 2006 02:27:11 GMT

I AM SOOOOO FUCKED RIGHT NOW...more later...:)

happy day

Wed, 17 May 2006 11:26:52 GMT

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.

sigh...

Tue, 16 May 2006 09:57:08 GMT

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

one down two to go

Mon, 15 May 2006 17:56:48 GMT

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 :)

ARGH

Sun, 14 May 2006 15:09:16 GMT

man o man... my first exam is tomorrow...i am nervous but i do feel prepared for it...watch when i go in the exam i am going to know nothing!! that would really suck..actually that is how i felt when i took IR 211 last semester...oh well that class really sucked...methodology isn't interesting at all...not even my cool prof and TA could make it better :( Anyway i took 3/4 of a practice LSAT and then did a bit more reading at the library...i just feel so blase right now. Nothing is going on but i have to knuckle down and study study study. Another thing that is depressing me is that i have been searching for law schools and PhD programs...wow let's just say that my GPA looks really really bad next to all the statistics. I know that there will be an opportunity to explain my poor grades but i always feel like i am making an excuse for myself when i try to give reasons for them...oh well i have so much to give and so few opportunities to show how good i can be/how hard i work...trust me i really did study for my bio class and i still failed the final...how sad is that!!

Anyway the band leaves for the Italy trip on Tuesday (i think) and i am not going to visit at all...between the really expensive plane tickets and revision i just can't justify it to myself which i guess is better since i am going to be home soon anyway and i can see everyone then...

oh yeah and working out and eating right sucks ass...all i have wanted to eat today are doritos and pizza with some nice beer...but instead i had some pasta with soy mince and tomato sauce and water....if i don't start seeing some changes soon i think i am going to go insane...

time flies when you are studying

Sat, 13 May 2006 10:44:43 GMT

Yeah for studying...b/c that means that my classes will be over!!! I only didn't like one of them too much...anyway the internet went out at our house AGAIN!! it might be the whole house or just me...i would be soooo pissed if it was just me. Yeah i hate how almost all my friends here are having fun and not revising at all...while i am stuck at home every day and night reading lots of interesting stuff... alas this seems to be my lot in life sigh...yeah that is all for now. I can't think of anything else besides the ethics of war...how depressing is that

what a nice day

Fri, 12 May 2006 18:23:12 GMT

today was a really good day after all the drama from the past week... all i can say is that TGIF has never meant more to me :) yeah i guess all the seniors are graduating today...probably as we speak.. in one year this will be me!!! that looks really scary when you actually write it down!! wow then my life is ahead of me...scary thought...after this i will probably not be a dependent of my parents for the first time in my life...that is more scary b/c that means i have to get all the medical and dental stuff on my own somehow. that really means i am growing up...yeah but hopefully i will be heading off to get my masters after i get my undergrad...i really really don't want to live with my parents...plus they already told me i can't live with them after college...not sure if they were joking but i am sure if i don't have anything i can crash with them for a while. I really wouldn't want to b/c i would be invading their space plus i like my independence...thank god i didn't get pregnant or married by now...i really don't know if i would be where i am if i had...my cousin (who is graduating from HS this year) just had a baby shower!! man o man...i will be the one who everyone asks "When are you getting married/having a baby?" the longer i wait the better to be honest...

well that was my random tangent b/c i don't want to revise at all...boo to it!! my first exam is monday...scary times...oh and i can't check my Wells Fargo account b/c apparently my Internet explorer is too old...ummm no i just downloaded the newest one...stoopid thing oh well i guess i can't pay my credit card bill...oh what a shame ;)

urgh

Thu, 11 May 2006 13:05:34 GMT

too much stuff is going through my head right now and i am really upset in general...not so much at people exactly just more at myself b/c of the things i do that are really dumb... alas i really don't think talking about it online to ANYONE would help the situation b/c it would get back to the wrong people and then they would be "mad" at me...fucking bullshit...seriously i am tired of people who call themselves your friends but never make any effort to be... it is actually one person in particular thank god i can choose never to talk to that person again...:) Oh and listening to my favorite misery CD is working once again...thank god something works ;)

study study

Wed, 10 May 2006 17:35:16 GMT

yeah seriously all that i have been doing the past couple days is studying for my exams and working out....i really haven't seen too much of anyone including my housemates...and i really want to got out but i dunno... lately i have been in a weird mood like i am standing still while things are happening around me. I just feel really shut inside myself...its a really weird feeling. i just want to hang out and do nothing for a while... sigh oh well i better enjoy these last few weeks of freedom b/c when i get home i have work school and band crap to do :( Starting in June it is back to the real world and i am not sure i even want to go back....
