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.

"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
