I went to see a play at school with a friend today. I was going to go on Saturday night, but I was in a reallllyyyyy bitchy mood. I was just pissed for no reason. It sucks being a girl sometimes. The play was Great Expectations. I watched it instead of doing a presentation for my British Lit class because I hate public speaking :D It was pretty good. At least I think so, it is the first play that I’ve watched, so you guys could take my opinion with a grain of salt. It was fun. The boy who played young Pip was soooo cute. He has floppy hair haha. Before the play, we went to get Starbucks and windowshopped at Target. We sat at Starbucks for an hour. I have no idea what we did there haha.
The bad: got a 73 percent on my Spanish test. It wasn’t a hard test; I just made a lot of mistakes. If that makes any sense haha.
The good: got into UC Santa Barbara and into their “college honors program” I actually have no idea what this is, but I’m assuming it’s good. Actually, I'm gonna go google that now.
Ok. That is all for now. I was gonna write more, but the phone's ringing.
This is one of the times where I wish that I wasn’t stuck with Asian parents.

I got a 250 GB portable HD last week. :D More space for fandom.
Maybe if I see him next semester, I'll talk to him and we could be friends. On he his way out of the class, he said,"See you next semester." to our professor, so I know what class he's going to take. I think I'll also have a class on that night, so maybe we'll run into each other on campus or something. idk.
In other news, I didn't get into the Spanish class that I wanted to get into next semester D: At least now I have a longer break.
Sigh. I hope with Obama as president the economy will get better. That way, people will get a job instead of stealing. There have been robberies near my school. One of the robberies was actually in the parking lot. The robbers were stole an Ipod or something. Nobody got hurt or anything, but I’m scared because the robbery was at six or so(before the time change), and that isn’t dark at all. Sigh. This means that I will no longer be listening to my Ipod while I wait for a ride home. You know what’s scarier? I’ve heard rumors that a gun was involved in an attempted robbery by some bus stop and the two people fought the thief with the gun off…. I’m just relieved that that robbery wasn’t too close to my school, it’s close to a satellite campus that we have for computer classes. And I hope that the gun part is a rumor, cause if it were true then that would be creepy.
I have an essay due tomorrow. I'm done with all the writing, I just need to edit and proofread. I'll do that tomorrow. Let's see, class starts at 9:45, so I'll wake up at 8, be on the computer by 8:30, finish everything and print by 9:25, and leave for school at 9:30, get to school at 9:45 and hand my paper in. Sounds like a plan. I feel kinda bad for litterally finishing my paper minutes before it is due though. Oh well.
Off to watch Code Blue!
My Philosophy professor is ok I guess. Nothing special.
My Spanish professor is cool XD. He has like 3 M.A.s and 2 doctorates. 0_o. My whole class was like "Sugoi!" after the first doctorate. There was a couple people who walked in late and asked, "Is this Spanish?". And he's all "The first half of class is Spanish, and the second is Arabic". This made some people think that they were in the wrong class, so they walked out..... Then they came back like 15 minutes later. The people who came on time had a good laugh.
I can tell that my World Lit class is going to be so fun. My teacher was telling us we should pretend to study when he's around. He's like "When you see me walk in, ask your neighbor a question about the reading. Pretend that you actually care".
My British Lit teacher is cool too. Her class has a lot more reading though. It's also at night. I hope I can stay awake D: Three fourths of the students in this class are English majors. Sounds fun XD.

So after my English Lit class, I check my voicemail. Someone left me a message saying that she wanted to buy my Critical Thinking textbook (I never sell my books back to the bookstore. They totally rip students off). So I call her back and we talk about the price and meeting place and stuff like that. She said that she had a counseling appointment, so one of her sisters might get the book for her. She asked me what my name was. I said Christine. Guess what she asks me after that? She asked, "What's your religion?" I was thinking uhhhhh why do you care? But I said, "Um, my family is Buddhist".
The next day, I meet her to give her the book. Turns out she was a Sister. You know, like a nun. When she said one of her SISTERS might get the book for her, I thought she meant birth sister. Obviously, I was wrong. At least I know why she cares about my religion now.
Just a random story I wanted to share.
Off to check my F-list now!
My dad is seriously trying to pick fights with me. Apparently, wet hair is bad for me now. He started lecturing me about how I'll get arthritis in the back of my neck since my hair is always wet there after I shower. Apparently, the water is going to sink into my skin, and later into my bones. So now he's trying to get me to blow dry my hair. :/
Anyway, I went to the doctor today. I got some stuff for my acne, so hopefully it'll work and I won't have to buy the ridiculously expensive brush thingy that I wanted to get before. It sucks that I'm only 5 feet, 4 inches, and 3 quarters though*. I want to be at least 5 and a half feet tall. I don't think it's going to happen. I'm almost overweight too. If I gain 2 more pounds then I'll be officially overweight. I don't think I look overweight though. Maybe I have a twisted self image or something. Maybe I'll still do the slim fast thing just to lose a bit of weight, just in case
*almost 165 cm

I went to see The Dark Knight. The movie was good, but a bit too long. I went with a huge group of people, guys and girls. The girls paid to see the movie. The guys snuck in. I find that slightly amusing.

Today, I went to out to eat with my parents. We were going to go to this one place we usually go, but there were like no cars in the parking lot for some reason so we decided to go somewhere else. Yes, we are really loyal customers XD. We drove into a parking lot of other resturants that were nearby, and decided that we didn't want to eat at those places. We're picky people. Then we remembered this resturant that we visited a lot when I was younger and decided to go there. I asked my parents if they still had the same menu because I was scared that I wouldn't like their new menu. My dad was like we can always leave if there wasn't anything we wanted to eat. I was like "that's embarassing", and told myself to order something and eat it even if I didn't like it. I ended up ordering this noodle soup thing that looked really healthy. It tasted healthy too. There was like no fat in the soup. You know how you see those clear thingys floating on soup sometimes? There was none of that. Well maybe there were, but none that I can see.
Random question. Have any of you guys walked into a resturant and walked out?
Everyone was on their phones when we walked out. I guess they were asking their friends if they felt the earthquake.
Here is a link to the MV:
OK it is the weekend before finals, and I have lots of free time. I know I should be studying, but I have this irresistible urge to waste time. Yesterday, I just opened my closet and looked at my clothes for like five minutes. This weekend would have been perfect to go to Kinokuniya, but I didn’t go. For some reason, it doesn’t feel appropriate to buy JE magazines the week before finals. If I bought magazines, I’d probably be staring at the pretty pictures instead of studying . So instead of wasting time looking at magazines, I’m wasting time by going online. Funny how things worked out.
In other news, I figured out how to rip mp3s from flv videos! Ok that was random. I just got back from the dentist. I learned something during this trip: I am TERRIFIED of dentists, especially dentists with drills. Is anybody else scared of dentists? *hopes that someone will raise hand*
It’s my cousin’s birthday today! We’re going to Todai ( a sushi and seafood buffet). I’ve never been there, but one of my friends loves the place so I’m glad I could go and see what she’s raving about :]
Oh and I finally listened to my DUES single. I actually bought it, though now I realize it is kinda pointless, as I DLed it already. I guess I'm just supporting KT. I don't even have a CD player, so I had to use my DVD player. Ipod has made CD players obsolete, or at least for me. I bought the QoP CD also. I think I'm going to leave it in the plastic wrap.
EDIT: here is the link since i think the embedded vid is weird.

And I've been on LJ for 45 minutes now. Gosh, I have no self control.
I thought that my English paper was due on the 21st instead of the 28th, so I finished my paper a whole weak earlier. I should have done my Anthropology paper instead.... Oh well. It's too little too late. Finals are here in 2 weeks, so life sucks right now. Monday is a holiday, but I'm probably going to spend it studying for my Spanish oral exam since I'm going to go out with friends on Friday and Saturday. I should really stay home and study, but I miss them so much! I haven't seen them in like 3 or 4 weeks T.T
And starting from tomorrow I'm only going to be spending half an hour on LJ everyday. At least I'll try doing that. I'm willing to bet that there are going to be like 9759757073486593 KAT-TUN things coming out because of their new album. I'm behind on Cartoon KAT-TUN too! I downloaded the first part of Haruka Ayase's episode, but haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet. JOR is releasing like crazy too. I knew they would release stuff when I'm busy. The good thing about being cynical is that I have the satisfaction of being right. At least this means that when I have time to spare, there are going to be like 10 episodes waiting for me.
I feel so overwhelmed right now. There's finals and an oral exam coming up; I have to learn how to drive soon; I miss my friends; I'm worried about money for University; I have to look for more scholarships; I have to start writing/practicing my personal statement to apply to a University. I'm also taking at least 6 units this summer. I signed up for Micro Economics and Geology. Exciting, I know. All I can do now is concentrate on finals and worry about everything else later.
I went on a tour or UCI yesterday. We chose a bad day to tour; it was so HOT outside. I drank literally 2 liters of water and still felt dehydrated! Our huge bus only had like 15 people on it (what a waste of money). Most of the people on the bus were science majors though. I was the only humanities major :(. We toured the labs and saw all this high tech equipment that I wasn't interested in. We must have walked around 3 miles yesterday! We had time to just wander around, so I called my friend who dormed there and went to her room. Her roomate had a poster of the red hot chili peppers with socks covering their *ahem*. Very interesting I know.
I talked to the Japanese girl in my Art class on Monday. She doesn't like Johnny's *sobs*. She does like Oguri Shun though, so we can fangirl about him. Even though people tell me I'm wrong, I still think that Oguri and Akanishi look similar. Will find pictures to prove my theory...eventually. We also talked about Japanese cell phones totally owning American ones. Japanese phones are so expensive though! She said that her friend in Japan got one for like 800USD. 0.o

Enough of the bad news. The good news is that I kinda made a new friend today. Well I either succeeded in making a new friend, or I succeeded into making someone think that I'm a total weirdo. Anyways, I talked to this Japanese girl from my Art class during lunch. By talked to her I mean I just went to the table where she was sitting and started talking to her. She was listening to her ipod at the time so I asked her if she liked KAT-TUN. She thought I said "cartoon", and started talking about One-Piece. I said "the band", but she didn't know what I was talking about, so I showed her my Ipod. Then she said "Oh, Johnny's". I think that she thinks that I'm a rabid fangirl. I changed the subject to J-dramas. Apparently, I watch more J-dramas than a person from Japan. I find that sad. Its like I'm obsessed with it or something. Well I'm kinda obsessed I guess. I can't say it well. So anyways, I think I'm weird.
