guess what guess what?? i bought a punching bag today!! won a bid on ebay for an unfilled punching bag with two pairs of punching gloves. :) was actually outbid at first, but then i entered a bid at the last minute. stupid me, i accidentally outbid myself (not the first time, but when i was bidding at the last minute). oh well. i've been asking people what to fill it with though. like, i asked the seller and he said i could fill it with like sawdust, old clothes, or whatever. asked tasha and she said sand. asked chris and he said rice. asked helen and she said beans. hmm...i like the rice idea, but i don't want to waste that much rice. anyway, yay!! i've got something else to beat up now besides my scrawny little roommate. ;)

oh! also decided to take vietnamese. :) thing is, i looked into the directed study (like self-paced instruction) vietnamese course but all it is is like listening to a bunch of tapes and repeating the words. i was like, that's stupid, i might as well just buy the tapes and do it myself rather than "take" a course. but then, melissa found an actual vietnamese language course in our revelle handbook. for some reason, it was under "international relations and pacific studies" instead of linguistics. which explains why i couldn't find it. only problem now is that, while vietnamese fits into my schedule, it also jacks it up sorta. now i start every monday, wednesday, and friday at 9 am and i have to walk CLEAR across campus and then walk AAAAALL the way back to go to my italian class. luckily, that would be my only farthest class. but uuurrrrgh...i don't know if i can cross campus by foot in fifteen minutes. especially with the shoes i wear. and i don't like getting to italian late cuz there aren't enough seats and i know i'll end up sitting on the floor and i don't like that. :( but distance is a stupid reason to not take vietnamese, i reasoned to myself. actually, almost had a mini-freak out in mel's room cuz i was like, i REALLY REALLY want to take vietnamese (especially since it's for people who have no background in vietnamese) but i was afraid that i wouldn't have time to finish my other GE's and stuff. but i sat down and like wrote down everything i had to take this year (so i've basically got the rest of the year planned out) and found out that yes, there is time for me to take a class i want. now, hopefully, the instructor will actually *let* me in the class. *crosses fingers* *knocks on wood*

anyway...another good weather day. starting to get slightly colder and windier. fog started rolling in around noon but i willed it to burn off with my super weather control powers. wore my reversible tube top from american eagle. i actually wore the other side today. i usually wear the orange/pink side but today i wore the pink/red side just cuz, i dunno...i don't really like that color, but i felt like wearing it for some weird reason. it matched with the pink handkerchief on my head. :)

well...okay, i just realized i haven't eaten dinner and i haven't done ANY homework today. :-/ and it's 1130 pm. hahahaha...watched helen and chris go at it again tonight (that sounds naughty, but it isn't). they had a huge water fight in the kitchen. started with chris, who was washing the dishes, sticking his wet hand smack dab on helen's face. continued with chris going to the bathroom and helen waiting outside with a water sprayer (for like plants and ironing and stuff) and spraying him like mad after he got out. then moved to the kitchen where chris filled a HUUUUGE cup with water (and accidentally broke melissa's rice bowl in the process) and attempted to dump it on helen who valiantly fought back. so it ended up with both of them wet and the kitchen floor and counters soaked. they're so funny together. :) they make me laugh. if i didn't have a tv, that's what i would watch all day - those two fighting. ;)

anyway, i'm starting to feel bad cuz my entire apartment (minus tasha, plus ben) is studying and i'm not. i'm blogging.

ooooohhhh...jo's new page is so cool!!! well, it's not really a new page, just a new layout, but ooooooohhhhhhhh....and that's a dede ooooooooooohhhhh, too! she's so cool. i'm jealous. but then again, she puts in the effort. i don't. :D
