hi blogspot,
tumblr is more fun i would say because you can reblog things!
you're still the OG blog though.
i'm 2/3 of the way done with my second year of college. how insane is that?

neuron

for now, i think i will keep blogging on tumblr. yes yes, time to spice things up.

tumblr?

potassiumkt.tumblr.com

i don't know if i will keep both of these blogs but i wanted to try out tumblr
i like their many choices for layouts
and it seems easier i think but we shall see!

current situation

and now, back to reading.

sometimes

life could be 100x easier if i didn't care and worry so much. unfortunately, that is not the case.

on a happier note, no school tomorrow! woot! boot scoot shoot loot root
well, enough with my gansta rapping skills, i need to catch up on my school readings because i neglected them to study for my organic chemistry midterm, which i just finished about an hour ago. it was tough but i think most people felt the same way so the curve should be low...i hope for my own sake! selfish, i know, but it was a difficult test. even my professor admitted that it was.

anywho, i will attempt to read now even though i feel like i will become easily distracted. here is the fun facttt of the day!

according to suicide statistics, monday is the favored day for destruction. how depressing is thattttttt?! i wonder why people choose monday though. i bet it's a coincidence though but mondays are typically lame since it is the beginning of the school/work week.

magic

i want to visit these places one day:

Seoul

Venice

Hong Kong

Tokyo

there are more cities to explore! but i think those would be the major ones, at least for now.

i wanna get a TWLOHA shirt! or tank! it's a good cause and the designs look nice. maybe i will order one sometime.

here is the funnn fact of the day!
vikings used the skulls of their enemies as drinking vessels. that seems unsanitary and kinda nasty but i'm sure that was why back when. it is clever, so i will give the vikings props for that.

brighter days

hellooo, november!
thanksgiving is this month :)
mmm, delicious food will be on its way in a few weeks! it makes me excited just thinking about it. but first, i must get through a few more weeks of school and midterms.

since my last post about fail halloween (-___-), i got a macbook!
it was quite an unfortunate situation though. my old dell laptop, which is only a year and a half old, died on me. it stopped charging! stupid dell. i thought something was wrong with the charger so i went out to buy a new one on sunday but that wasn't the problem. i'm still gonna get my old laptop fixed but i couldn't wait for up to 3 weeks to get it fixed and be computer-less for that long. that would be terrible especially since my second round of midterms starts again next week.

anywho, i need to catch on reading for my classes and prepare for my physics quiz on friday. why was physics so much easier in high schooool? :( well, that might have been because pacifica only had regular physics and not AP physics but still. it's like 100x more difficult. boo!

the fun fact of the dayyyyyyyy:
cat urine glows under a black light. that's pretty cool but kinda gross at the same time. i would want to try it out but cat urine doesn't smell the greatest and i don't really like cats anyways. kittens are cute, usually, but i'm more of a dog person.

staircase

halloween is turning out to be a pretty big fail :(
we thought we had it all planned out but within the span of a few hours, all our plans got shot down! terrible how life is sometimes.
now, we are left with little to none options. i DO NOT want to be sitting in our apartment doing nothing on halloween night!
i have a costume to wear! even though it isn't the greatest costume ever
well, i guess there is still some time left to figure it out but not that much time! ahhh, things would be so much easier right now if i had my car down here but next year, at least, i will not have this problem again!

on a different note, i am craving a scrumptious...


mmm, that would be delicious. thinking of food brings me to thanksgiving! and all its delectable delights such as turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. i can't wait!

i am also hoping for my winter break plans to work out, mainly this snowboarding trip that i am trying to plan. it's pretty stressful since we want to go during the holiday period and most places require a 3 night, actually most want a minimum of a 4 night stay! crazy, but it makes sense. i found a couple places that "list" that they only require 2 nights but i need to call them to confirm. oye, i hope this works out in the end because i want to go snowboarding! i've never been before :( and i've been planning to go for quite some time now. it just hasn't worked out where i could go though so this must be the year for it to happen!

mmkay, time for the fun fact of the day:
the only two days of the year where there are no professional sports games (NBA, MLB, NFL, or NHL) are the day before and after the Major League all-star game. well, baseball is claimed to be america's past time isn't it? i'm pretty sure my stepdad told me this fact last year!

texas hold 'em

okay, so i feel like i am addicted to play poker on facebook. how funnnnnnnnnnnay
i'm playing right now as a matter of fact! it's an extremely easy way to pass the time, that's for sure. i need to start researching more about studying abroad. i kinda want to go to go to japan but i'm not sure how the biology programs would work there, especially since i don't know how to speak any japanese! fail. it just appears to be such an exciting place to be and i have never traveled to asia before. what a terrible asian person i am! but that will change, whether or not i study abroad in japan or some other asian country or not in asia at all. i am also considering korea, australia, new zealand, maybe italy as well. i also should figure out when exactly i want to go abroad because, honestly, i'm not sure at the moment. do i want to go during the summer time or for a semester during the school year? ah, the decisions of life.

i should sleep soon. i was almost late for class this morning! i set my alarm for 10 PM instead of 10 AM and i woke up at 10:37 AM when i had class at 11 AM. i definitely had a mini-freak out in my mind when i opened my eyes and saw the time on my clock.

anyways, here is today's fun fact of the day!
dueling is legal in paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors. that is so incredibly random. i can't imagine that people would still want to duel in this day and age. how funny! it seems like it would be so intense and scary to watch. i wonder how often it happens there.

one, two, three

okay, it is quite late right now
but i'm not feeling sleepy enough yet so that is the reason for me being awake at such a late hour! tonight was beer pong night. it was really fun actually, except i wish i could have wonnn
but of course, birthday girl, or birthday sex, had to win ! at least i won one game yayyy! halloween is coming up soon & i'm still uncertain on what exactly i will be doing on next saturday night but hopefully it will all be figured out soon. i'm hoping by writing this blog i will start to get more sleepy because it's freaking 3 AM already. whyyyy am i still awake? i'm not buzzed or anything! sheeeeesh

i wish i didn't turn red so easily. i don't like having this super intense asian glow. it sucksss but there is no way to fix it. at least, none that i can think of. i seem to have a low tolerance for holding my alcohol since i end up throwing up half the time! i don't even get super drunk or anything. i feel buzzed and a short time afterwards, it all comes out in not the most graceful way. supaaa lame i must say but thankfully tonight that i did not happen!

okay, i'm getting tired now so it is time for the fun fact of the dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

in 1634, tulip bulbs were a form of currency in holland.
that's pretty strange and random. i guess they had a boatload of tulip bulbs there? it would make sense if they did, unless the bulbs were worth a incredibly large sum.

orange mango motion

sickness overcame my body approximately 4 days ago now. i am still infected but undoubtedly much better than i was on thursday. thursday was absolute misery. i stayed in bed all day, studying for my ochem midterm. the only times i went outside was to go to my 11 AM bio class and to take my ochem midterm at 8 PM. what a glorious day that was! to top it off, saturday, i awoke to a headache that would not leave me! i was still slightly here every now and again today, i mean yesterday now. here's to hoping that today, monday, will be a much better day.

anywho, it's week 4! school seems to be move somewhat quickly i would say. i wish it would pass by even faster, just to thanksgiving and then winter break. it could stall during winter break for a month too. that would be lovely. i don't see that happening though.

on my "to-do" list:

• GET HALLOWEEN COSTUME - CLOTHES, PROPS
• FIND OUT WHAT I'M DOING FOR HALLOWEEN
• START & FINISH POLI SCI PAPER THAT'S DUE A WEEK FROM TODAY
• GET MORE SLEEP
• CALL ABOUT VOLUNTEERING
• & of course, HAVE FUN

okay, definitely time for sleep. i missed poli sci and physics, once and twice, respectively, last week so i must go in the morning. so here is today's fun fact of the dayyyyyyyyyyyyy

the word "nerd" was first coined by dr. seuss in "if i ran the zoo." how ironic that is! UCSD's library, geisel, is named after dr. seuss himself and our school is full of nerds! maybe he predicted that future for this campus in la jolla way back in the day.

progression

first midterm coming up technically tomorrow now. and it's for OCHEMMM
i'm slightly worried, only slightly because the practice midterm wasn't too hard but i'm sure the actual exam will be tougher. i should study right now. i've just been so lazy lately.
this is no bueno

anywho, i need some excitement in my life! that is what i have decided.
not that there's anything terribly wrong with my life right now. i'm not being emo or anything but it could be better. i am content at the moment though.

i desire a good quality camera, like those cool people with nikons and cannons. i know i wouldn't be the most technologically knowledgeable in using them i wouldn't mind learning. i want to capture to be able to capture those special moments in life with something more than just my scratched and old sony camera. i found this picture. it's so cute!

maybe one day, it will belong to me! and i won't have to take these beautiful photographs off of the internet.

anywho, time for today's fun fact of the day!
only male turkeys gobble. i wonder if it's some sort of mating call for them? that would make sense since females don't make that strange noise. at least , real human men don't gobble when they want to attract a lady friend. i would immediately classify them as a weirdo for sureee.

spiral

one day, this will be mine. until then, i will patiently wait for it to come.

color sensation

this week is almost half way over! kinda

well, seemingly my entire apartment except for myself is deciding to rush for a sorority this quarter. it's cool that they are all deciding to join such organizations and they are all doing different ones, but i don't know if that is something that i would enjoy. i never really saw myself as a sorority girl. i am going to an event tomorrow night. it's korean bbq! mmm, yummy. that's basically the reason why. it's good to meet some new people too.

anyways, school work is never ending it feels like. well, i guess i do much more work than other people do but it's better for me this way. i need to constantly be working on understanding the concepts somewhat before midterms and then finals roll around. i'm not a crammer. i have to study gradually! i wish i was a natural genius who didn't have to study at all. it would make life so much easier for sure, at least i think so.

i'm joining more pre-med/health clubs this year! that is what i have decided on. i'm gonna join PASS and AMSA here on campus. i also would like to find a job as a lab assistant. i should start searching for that position more! i need to get some work experience one of these days and achieving that in the lab atmosphere would be perfect!

to end, here's today's fun fact of the dayyy:

i learned in BILD 2 last week that the surface area of your small intestine (i think it was only the small and not both the small and large intestines) is equivalent to a tennis court. that's insane don't cha think? these tubes inside your body, if laid flat, would cover the base of a tennis court! i never would have imagine it to be so big.

vacancy

sooo, i still have been failing at blogging.

the second week of classes begins today! how NOT exciting.
i wish i had less hw to do, especially reading.
i will attempt to blog more; however, i don't know how well that will turn out but i will try anways!

this past weekend was a good one. two birthday celebrations! how fun
kelsey's was goooooooood - the best part was when we were at downtown disney on saturday. we didn't realize it was gay pride day there. if you were a homosexual, you would wear red and unknowingly, poor little masashi decided to put on a red shirt! it was incredibly funny because he was so uncomfortable and a couple guys actually checked him out. it seriously made my night. i made her a picture frame! i was feeling artsy i guess. i painted it and decorated it with stickers and such. it turned out pretty cute :)
grace's was also swell - dinner at cpk! yayy, i love food. nick also came at midnight with a quite delectable cake i must say. she also enjoyed her princess themed gifts (for the most part)!

the apartment is starting to look more and more like it's a real apartment, where people actually live. this is due to a stocked kitchen and somewhat decorated living room. it still needs so work to rid itself of those boring white walls!

anyways, i should get some sleeptime in soon. class at 10! i'm so happy i am finally enrolled in my tu/th 11 am bio class. i was scared i wouldn't be able to get in and have to go back to the m/w 7:30 am class. who in their right mind creates a 7:30 am class?! no college student wants to wake up that early...well not any that i know of. but thankfully, i do not have to worry about that!

okay, today's fun fact of the day:

the year that reads the same upside down is 1961. that won't happen again until 6009! that is such a far time from now. i can't imagine what life will be like then. will that millennium be the one where we have cars that fly and wear strange space suits and fight away vicious aliens from planet earth? who knows, only time will tell.

send my love

school makes me tired already

i'm too lazy to blog BUT i will soon! when i get the chance to.
reading poli sci articles is so boring
i still have about 25 pages left
joyful! that will be for later, after class though.


anyways, i'm tired. i hope to blog by the end of this week! that is my goal :)
yay for having more deadlines !
gooooodnight

"there shall be

an eternal summer in the grateful heart" - celia thaxter, american poet & writer

summer is very quickly coming to it's end.
tomorrow will be the last "official" day of summer i guess since i will be moving into my new abode for the 09-10 school year. i'm pretty excited because i will be living in an apartment this year, which means there will be a kitchen! and not weird people that i don't get along with very well surrounding me constantly. i hope this year will be good. meet new acquaintances that could become good friends. maybe even a cute boy for once! UCSD is severely lacking in that department. but as long as it is a fun, enjoyable year and i do well in all my classes i will be satisfied.

on a different note, i wish i had nicer skin or perfect skin. that would be amazing! i would trade better skin for...an inch off my height. eh, i don't know if i would actually want that but i wish my skin would clear up already! i've had to deal with this acne problem since junior high i believe. a magic potion needs to be concocted for this problem. or maybe i will try to figure out something if i decide to become a dermatologist or a biologist who works in labs, attempting to create the newest and "best" prescription for such issues. it's still too early to really see where my career go though yet.

i should try to sleep early for once! summer always screws up sleeping schedules. i'm trying to get into my bio class, BILD 2, at 11 AM on tues/thurs because there are not too many people on the waitlist anymore. currently, i am number 5! i hope i get into it so i won't have thre grueling task of waking up to go to a 7:30 AM class instead. i'm pretty sure i wouldn't be able to focus that early in the morning. horrible idea to make classes that early.

anywho, i'm getting tired! it's almost 1AM now. need to sleep and get up early and shower for korean bbq! woot, i'm excited for it.

okay, here is today's fun fact of the day:
an ostrich's brain is smaller than it's eye. geeeeeez, that is pretty minute. an ostrich must not be a smart animal then. how could you be if you're brain is smaller than your eye! their eyes don't seem to be very large either. poor things. at least they have big eggs so they have something better to brag about!

you really know how to dance

the time is start my second year of college is slowly approaching
i'm moving in just a few days
and then classes will commence in a little over a week
that means it is time to start saying farewell to summer and it's many freedoms




adios to playtime and relaxation and bonjour to organic chemistry, biology, physics, and political science. well, at least for this upcoming fall quarter. sounds like a blast doesn't it? you know it!

i have not been adamant about updating my blog. but maybe once school starts again, i will be updating more often to take away time from my studies. we shall see!

time for the fun fact of the day:
kangaroos can't walk backwards. kangaroos are cute. i wish i saw one up close while i was in australia but that didn't happen. i did see wallabies, which is almost like a mini kangaroo. next time i go "down under," i will make sure i get to see one!

throw it in the bag

it's been over a week since my last blog!
FAIL
oh well...let's see...what to talk about...
i'm not really sure

i got to hang out with some SD friends last week, which was fun even though they didn't know what to do with us :) also went to watch ABDC for the second time! they made us learn the "ricky bobby" dance, which i thought was stupid especially since the fat giant named scott was all up in my personal space! i want to go again this week but it's sold out unfortunately.

i've been going to sleep later than usual
that is not good at all since i will need to start waking up early for my freaking 7:30 AM class on mondays and wednesdays in the new future. i should try sleeping earlier to get my body for the shock of early morning classes.

anyways, less than 2 weeks left until it is time to move and settle in to the reality that is my SOPHOMORE YEAR of college! crazy, time is seriously flying by as cliche as it sounds.

okay, time for the fun fact of the day!
a housefly hums in the key of F
wow, that's pretty random, not gonna lie & cool at the same time? how do people even figure these things out? somewhere out there is a person interested in flies so much that they listen and attempt to decipher the key it hums in. that would definitely not be me though!

keep knocking

sophomore year of college is slowly approaching
20 more days until i move in and 25 more days until classes begin!
what a trip

i'm glad i'm not in high school to deal with stupid crap
people need to grow up and learn to deal with situations in a mature manner so as to not cause those same situations to evolve into awkward ones.
deal with it and move on.
that's all i have to say about that.

anyways, music speaks on friday was grrrrrreat
i'm very happy that i decided to go! i'm still waiting on some "professional" pictures; i hope they are uploaded and online soon :)
i got to see quest crew perform, which i was most excited for! you can see, or hear, for yourself in this video of only a part of their performance



saturday was also a delightful day
ventured into asian townnn for about 3 hours with tiffany to buy delectable foods!
and tiffanie was surprised, even though it was a little chaotic getting it all ready right before she arrived. playeeeeed fun games with people and ate and jumped in the jumper (but not for long enough!)
a goal of yesterday was to get a jumping polaroid picture inside the jumper but i failed on that. there's always next time though

this upcoming week should be gooood! plans to visit HH and go to a taping of ABDC again. yay!

time for the fun fact of the dayyy
china has only 1 time zone. that's pretty crazy to think about. i mean the united states has 4, or 6 including hawaii and alaska. china is so freaking huge, how can it only have a single time zone? it has about a sixth of the world's population too. i just find it interesting i guess. yayy for being chinese! i want to visit china one day
