you know, i am beginning to get this reputation of not showering. so i'd just like to take this moment to make it very clear that i do indeed shower. just...not frequently. i mean, c'mon, what's the point of showering if no one's going to see you?! yes yes, clean shmean. but really, if you're home all day and no one sees you (other than your parents and two little boys you're babysitting none of whom care what you look like) does it REALLY matter? no. so...there. ;D in any case, my showering will become more frequent now that i am forced to venture out of the house to take classes at ohlone. so, whatever, people can stop making fun of me now!!

went out with the 'rents today. hit ross, longs drugs, and costco. you know, the people in ross really bug me. like, the people who shop there, not the people who work there. i don't know, i think i was just sort of irritated by them today. thank goodness for cell phones cuz me and my father lost my mother a couple of times (once at ross and once at costco) so we had to stop and call her to find out where the heck she was. and i bought a cd today. the first in several years. i seriously haven't bought a cd in yeeeaaars. i mean, with napster, kazaa, and winmx, who needs cds? especially with a cd-maker on your computer. but i'm really digging this chick - norah jones - so i bought her cd, "come away with me." i downloaded her entire album, but i really wanted the cd cuz...i dunno, i just did. i love her sound. it's sort of a soft jazz and very romantic. and she has a very soothing and relaxing voice. wanna download her? try these songs first: "don't know why," "come away with me," and "turn me on." and then download everything else cuz it's all really good. and then go buy the album cuz she's so awesome.

oh wait...the last cd i bought was the rent soundtrack last summer. well, i still haven't bought a cd since then. and BEFORE that cd, i hadn't bought one in years.

anyway...i'm going to go eat now.

ugh. *bashes head on desk*

dammit. i counted wrong. like, really wrong. i thought i had two weeks between the end of fall quarter at ucsd and the beginning of summer session at ohlone, but it's actually only one week. dammit. which means i start class this monday. dammit. you know, it's a good thing my father asked me when i start classes cuz i probably wouldn't have gone to class on monday thinking i still had another week of vacation. dammit. oh well. it's still better than last year when i came home from ucsd, had one DAY of break, and then started summer session. at least i got some time to breathe this year.

my time at home has been pretty uneventful. went out last night, but that's about it. very fun night. played pool with the girls (deb, jo, jacq, mar, san, chris chen) ...and howard. hehehehe. he tried to be all pimp and pay for all of us, but we got all asian on his ass and forced him to take our money. then went to mar's house afterwards to play mah jong. yes, getting to mar's house was pretty hilarious, like deb wrote. can't elaborate because it just will not sound funny on blog. anyway, mah jong was pretty fun too. and of course, since i'm not chinese, mar helped me out for a few games. and i accidentally asked san what the six card meant...twice.

but last night was the only night i went out since i got home. i've just been staying at home helping my mother babysit two little boys - a one-year-old and a three-year-old. such cuties. the one-year-old is so adorable. he's just learned how to walk and so he walks a lot. wobbles a lot. falls a lot too. and he's on to us. every time he cries, we stuff food in his mouth to get him to stop. it worked the first few times, but now he's caught on and knows that we're trying to bribe him with food so he vehemently shakes his head whenever we try to feed him to stop his crying. and he dances!! it's so cute!! when he hears music on tv, he'll start bouncing up and down. and here's the cutest thing - he walks on our treadmill! he climbs up onto it, holds onto the sides cuz he obviously can't reach the handrail at the top, and starts walking. it's so cute. he just walks and walks and walks. ahhh...my ovaries. ;D

so i looked up my grades online today. last quarter - definitely not a provost's honors quarter. in fact, it was my worst quarter ever. but...on the bright side, i passed mae!! i seriously did not think i would since my grade on the class webpage said 69 and a 70 is passing. but, bless the fob ta's heart, he passed me. THANK THE LORD. i hated mae with such a passion. worst class E-V-E-R. i was dreading having to take it over, but now i don't!! it took me like a minute for it to register that i had passed. i had so expected to not pass that seeing the letter P didn't really register in my mind right away.

anyway...now that ohlone starts one week earlier than i anticipated, i'll really need to unpack. i've already unpacked two bags. the most important bags, the ones that hold all my summer clothes. it's so much nicer to get clothes from my dresser and closet instead of digging through piles of clothes on the floor to find a wrinkled shirt. okay, so i think that's what i'm gonna do now. unpack. ugh. stupid ohlone. stupid miscalculating brain.

crazy spinster: I MISS YOU MAR
winter177: I MISS YOU CHER!!!
crazy spinster: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
winter177: hahaha

I'M BACK. yes, that's right. I'M BACK. good nine hour road trip. not bad. love my dad. ;)

la la la... i don't really have much to blog about. packing wasn't quite as horrid as it was last year when i stayed up till like 4 am packing. my dad came around 830 am but we didn't actually leave san diego till like 130 pm. arrived in fremont exactly nine hours later. i was half hung over when my dad got to my apartment. not good. but i got over it quickly.

cleaning the apartment was so much fun. especially when half the occupants of the apartment left me and sanaz to throw away their shit for them. yeah, that was nice.

but onto nicer people...helen is a goddess. ;D she let me store some of my stuff in her brother's garage over the summer. and i felt so bad cuz i had so much stuff and it took up like half of her suv. so she is mucho cool. unfortunately, i didn't get to say goodbye to her before i left! :(

let's see...what else. finals sucked. my behavioral psych final was terrible. i was horribly HORRIBLY unmotivated to study. so...i didn't really. and it made the final that much funner. it was like wild guessing left and right. is the answer A? is the answer D? who knows! let's pick C!! oh, and then there was my favorite question: what the...?? when did we learn this?!? psh...whatever.

so now i've got a good two weeks before i start summer classes at ohlone. and in those two weeks, i only have ONE goal: to unpack. because living out of bags and suitcases for three months last summer wasn't so much fun.

anyway, i smell. you know what was funny? just as me and my dad were leaving one of the rest areas we stopped at, this horrid smell attacked us. it was really bad. and i looked around, trying to figure out where it came from but i couldn't see anything. and then, several MILES later, i saw the huuuuugest cow ranch ever. cows E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E. acres and acres of cows!! seriously, this cow ranch went on for like forever. i wonder how anyone can work there though. we could literally smell the cows from miles away. it was crazy.

la la la... gonna go try on some clothes that my mother got for me while i was gone. i love that. every time i come home for a break, i find new clothes on my bed. ;D spoiled? me? nah. i think my mother's just trying to compensate for my absence. she buys clothes in order to build a new cherry while i'm gone.

HEY, I'M HOME. SOMEONE CALL ME SO WE CAN GO OUT AND HAVE FUN.
