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.

It's been a busy week for me.  Maybe  I'll post about that later, but I want to tell you guys about the fight with my dad.  I won't get into the details why we fought, but basically y dad was making insensitive comments to me even though he knows that I'm in a really bad mood.  I started crying, and when he kept commenting, I just lost it and screamed at him.  Suddenly, I stopped crying.  My mind was completely empty, and I felt incredibly relaxed even though he was still yelling at me.  The headache that had been bothering me all day was also gone.  I just felt so relieved after I screamed, which is odd, since my ears usually ring and my head heavy if I do that. 

Ok.  That is all for now.  I was gonna write more, but the phone's ringing.

Just filled out my FAFSA yesterday.  My dad and I had this huge fight for an hour and a half about what schools I wanted to have the results sent to.  He wants me to go to UC Irvine so I could live at home.  I want to go somewhere farther away from home.  I was in tears half an hour into the argument, but I think I won the argument.  Well at least I won the first half of the argument.  The second half will continue when I actually have to choose which school I want to go to.  Wish me luck guys.

This is one of the times where I wish that I wasn’t stuck with Asian parents.

I didn't give him my number.  1)  I didn't like him enough to take the intiative.  2) I don't think he likes me anymore.

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.

robberies.

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.

Sigh. Yesterday I kind of threw up.  I think the antibiotics that I'm taking for acne are making me feel sick.  Since I've started taking them, I've been feeling really nauseous in the morning. So yeah I threw up yesterday morning.  The thing is, I didn't eat breakfast and I only had soup for dinner the day before, so I just like gagged basically.  And for the past couple days, I've had NO appetite at all.  I've been eating a banana, some soup, milk, and salad for like four days.  Usually I eat even when I'm not hungry, but for the past few days, I'm too lazy to eat even when I'm hungry.  How ironic.

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!

School started this week.  I had to buy my books and they were like soooooooooooo heavy!  Well the ones for my Lit classes are at least.  I had to go up like 3 flights of stairs after I bought my books.  Boy, did I get a workout. Ok  I'll tell you guys about my teachers now.

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!

Thanks for commenting on my last entry guys.  I have no idea how to respond though, so I'm not going to.  I still want to go far far away for college though.

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

 I remember what I was going to say last time.  I was going to tell you guys where my cousin was during the earthquake.  Guess where she was.  At the dental office.  Good thing her teeth wern't getting drilled.  She was getting an x-ray, and apparently she has to get a root canal done.  Soon.  I feel sorry for her.
______________

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?

A classmate and I were talking about her trip to India. She was telling me how she thought that guys in India were really touchy with each other. Like she sees guys holding hands when they’re walking around. So she was telling me what happened when she, her mom, and her 13 year old brother were sitting in the back of a taxi.
Classmate: Look at how close those guys are on that motorcycle.
Brother: Hey, mom, are all guys in India fags?
They laugh, but then the taxi driver gives them a weird look since they were speaking in English and he thought that they were Indian.
Mom: Now we have to tip him extra because he knows were Americans and not a poor Indian family.
 
I cracked up so hard. 
My summer classes are over. XD
 
 
I got a permit! Yippee!!!  I’m looking forward to paying $4.50 or so for a gallon of gas.
 
 
I swear I had something else to say. Can’t remember now.

Did You Feel an Earthquake?

  • Jul. 29th, 2008 at 3:40 PM

Did you guys feel an earthquake? I hope none of you guys got hurt or really scared.
 
My professor let our class out early, so I went to the library. I was sitting there, reading my economics book when I felt the ground move. I thought that someone was stomping on the ground behind me so I turned around to look. Some other people were doing the same thing as I was; that was when I realized that I was in an earthquake. Then the ground started shaking harder, but not too hard. I was listening to my ipod, so I pulled my earphones out and put them on the table. Someone yelled, “Duck and cover!”, but the ground wasn’t shaking that hard so I didn’t think it was necessary to go under the table…… But then I saw some other people hiding under tables, so I compromised with myself. How? I didn’t get under the desk, nor did I stay in my seat. I got off my chair and sat on the floor. Yeah, it wasn’t the smartest thing to do. Next time, I’ll get under a desk. After the shaking stopped, the librarians told us to go outside. I guess the staff checked all the buildings after that.
 
Everyone was on their phones when we walked out.  I guess they were asking their friends if they felt the earthquake.
The earthquake was the day before my Geology final. How appropriate.
 
 
I had to go on a field trip the other day, so I carpooled with a couple of classmates. We were listening to stuff on this guy’s ipod. I swear that one of the songs had lyrics said, “AT THE PORRRRNNNNNNNN SHOOOOOOOOOOP”. I’m not sure though, since the voice was distorted. The guy could have been singing “AT THE PAWWWWWWWWNNNNN SHOOOOOOOOOP”.

Redondo Beach and Random Notes

  • Jul. 20th, 2008 at 11:13 AM
headphones
Yesterday I went to Redondo beach. There were so many “I wish I had a camera right now” moments, but of course, all I had was a crappy cell phone. I went there with my parents for lunch and we ended up taking a boat ride. It was like this mini tour thing. I saw sea lions! They were fat. We saw the peninsula from afar and the houses on the hill were really pretty. Some of them looked like they’d topple over if there was an earthquake though.
 
When we were walking around the pier, we saw the cutest kids ever. This little boy was trying to pedal his tricycle, but he was too short, so his older brother pushed him. It was so cute <3. I felt like a failure though. They were Asian, probably Korean or Japanese. I could hear them talking loud and clear, but I couldn’t tell what language they were speaking. You’d think I’d be able to tell after watching so many J-Dramas and listening to J-Pop, but I still can’t tell. I’m pretty sure it was Korean, but I dunno…. Yeah, I suck at learning new languages.
 
Random Notes
 
1. Shige!!! What did you do to your hair!
 
2. My schedule next semester sucks big time. On Mondays and Wednesday, I have class from 9:45 in the morning to 10:10 at night. I have a five hour break in between, but it still sucks. Especially since the break is from 11 to 4. Everyone I know gets out of school at around 3, so its not like I can IM them. Looks like I will be spending quality time with my ipod and laptop.
 
3. Can my school block LJ if I’m going on from my laptop, but using their wireless network?
 
4. SHIGEMATSU. When I saw this on the class schedule, I laughed. I was like wait…. Shigeaki Kato X Matsumoto Jun? I’ve never heard of that. Haha. Shigematsu is actually a name of a professor. I was going to take his class, but then I checked ratemyprofessors.com and he was one of those teachers you either loved or hate. I didn’t want to risk having a teacher I absolutely hated, so I chose another professor.

I Kissed a Girl

  • Jun. 27th, 2008 at 10:27 PM
headphones
And I like it. Just kidding. A friend told me to listen to that song yesterday. It’s really catchy. I was at Target today. I was just walking around the store, listening to my Ipod when I thought I heard that song playing. I took off my earphones and realized that it was another song; a moment later, “I Kissed a Girl” started playing. I have psychic powers :D.

Here is a link to the MV: 
I went to Kinokuniya ( a Japanese bookstore) today. My mom went to her old workplace which was like 10 minutes away from there, so she dropped me off. I spent an hour there just browsing around. I asked the clerk if they still had the Oricon Style with KAT-TUN on the cover, but they didn’t. The guy brought me some magazines with Arashi, HSJ, and the Gokusen 3 cast on the cover though. The guy who brought me the stuff didn’t know who KAT-TUN were, but I think that he knows that they’re a bunch of pretty boys cause he brought me those magazines. I think that he thinks I'm a crazy fangirl -_-.I felt kinda bad about being there for so long so I bought SCawaii with Koda Kumi on the cover. Then I walked over to Starbucks and bought a venti mint chocolate chip frap. I have a feeling that the amount of calories in my drink is the same amount of calories in a Big Mac, but I’m not going to check though; it’ll make me too sad.
 
Since my mom didn’t call me yet, I decided to wander around. I went to Target and got a new pair of headphones. Then I remembered that chiechan told me that Book Off (used bookstore that has a lot of Japanese books and magazines) was really close to Kinokuniya, so I walked down the street. Unfortunately, I walked past it and had to double back. Book Off is better than Kinokuniya!! The prices at least. Finding stuff there is hell though. I found NewS’s section and Arashi’s section, but there were no CDs D:. Other fangirls must have bought them all. -_-. I did find the QoP CD, but I already have it. After doing risa6chan’s meme, I felt bad about not reading, so I looked at the novels. I ended up buying three. They’ll be my entertainment. My dad is coming back from Vietnam soon, and unfortunately he doesn’t like how I spend quality time on the computer ;_;.

Summer school started this Monday, but I’m still in summer mode. Most of the things my professors say are going in one ear and out the other. My Econ professor is still as sarcastic as ever. At least I’m still awake in econ, unlike Geology. 

 

Dentist and Todai

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.

Ok went to my friend's house today.  We watched part of Nancy Drew and Sweeney Todd.  Before that, we went to my old HS to meet up with some other friends.  We ended up watching them play tennis for like an hour.  When we were walking back to her house, it started raining :(.  Hard to believe how it was so hot a couple of days ago but cold and rainy today.  We walked my friend back to school in the rain too.  It was quite fun to walk in the rain.  Of course, I'll be sure to blame her if I get sick XP.  Anyways the video is of me and one of my friends singing something from Sweeney Todd.  We never got to finish the movie XP.  It was pretty bloody though.  My friend who saw the movie before wanted to record our reactions to one of the bloodier scenes of the movie.  Unfortunately, she told us a scene was scary when it really wasn't and didn't tell us about the bloody scene right after.  Sweeney Todd was an ok movie.  The actors who played Severus Snape and Bellatrix from Harry Potter were in it.  I love how Bellatrix always looks evil.....



And  I've been on LJ for 45 minutes now.  Gosh, I have no self control.

OMG I'm Stupid

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

I Failed My Spanish Test

Spanish, espanol, whatever.  the point is I totally failed my test.  I got a 59 percent T.T.  I don't think I've scored this low.....since I was in Mr. Olson's class.  Gosh this sucks.

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.
