who?

the semester started today. i'm starting to get better from being sick but i still can't look down without having boogers slide down my face...

i haven't been blogging lately and i really should get back into the habit. i've been enjoying the last weeks of my winter break and it really did seem like i ran around anywhere and everywhere before i got sucked back into the shithole called spring semester. i woke up this morning with the worst feeling ever. i hate first days the most. those awkward first orientation games and introductions. i really do want to just get into class, hear the lecture, learn (optional) and leave.

so i woke up at 8, showered, got dressed and parked. walked into the classroom and realized that i was looking at the wrong class day schedule and that i was about 2 hours early for class. so what do i do? get up, walk out and run into jeff! so we walked around campus and caught up before heading to class. i grabbed a copy of the daily titan and sat in class not looking at anyone and started reading the newspaper. it's not that i don't want to meet anyone, it's just at this point, im just too lazy and i don't care enough to put in that extra effort to have awkward conversations with random people...maybe i'm not explaining this right. i don't know, whatever. jen gets me.

ok time to watch some more anthony bourdain before i go to bed. gooooooodnight!

random pictures from my winter break:

YES

tonights dinner. mmmm

it smells like updog.

it seems only typical that once all the fun starts, my break is coming to an end. i picked up my parents on weds. night from LAX, beginning the hop over from being partially on break, to being on full-time break. no more cooking steaks and staying home to watch the siblings. not that i dont like steaks and spending time at home with jo and al. but in the end, break is break and i needed to get out.

my voice is currently burnt out from when hilda, trixie, krystle and I went to disneyland on friday. this weekend has seriously been really nice. crazy, but nice. spent the nights at tokyo table drinking lychee martinis with friends and spent the days sleeping off the night before. i got to see a lot of old faces i havent seen in awhile and also got to meet a lot of new faces--speaking of faces, the four girls tried our first JUMBO turkey leg at disneyland. there were alot of stares as we took turns biting it around the park but in the end, we were all more than satisfied.

ok i'm gonna watch a movie. i'm starting to get used to sleeping alone at the apartment. im a sad person.

heres some pictures from this weekend. im too lazy to really put up more. if this isnt enough to eliminate your boredom, you could always see all of them on facebook.

yeah...space mountain never fails me.

turkey leg madness.

break

so far my break has been pretty good. much needed, that's for sure. i've been spending most of my time eating and hanging out with the siblings, since the parents are out of the country, and em and nicole at the house. tonight is the 3 hour marathon of the office so i know were all going to be crowding around the tv eating junk food and drinking massive amounts of arizona iced tea.

i've taken to being sick too. which pretty much sucks because i thought my body has become an ox after a whole...6 months of not getting runny noses and loud, hurtful sneezes.

so far i don't really have any plans for new years eve. it isn't usually a big deal at my house, usually we just sit around the tv, watching MTV, seeing the ball drop as people all over the screen interlock into a way inappropriate snog session. that's about the time when i kind of awkwardly turn around and wish everyone a happy new year. but maybe this year will be different? as i said, the parents aren't here but i'm nowhere near planning a party at my house, nor am i willing to clean up the mess afterwards. so i was thinking about taking the sibs somewhere to eat or walk around like 3rd street or something but i don't know. we'll see what they want to do.

god, i'm starving. with the rents gone, leaving us to cook for ourselves, it actually hasn't been that bad. night after night we've been having steak. i'm not complaining to say the very least.

happy xmas eve! woke up this morning with leila licking my face and a strong craving for ramen. last night me and the siblings went to go drop off our parents at LAX, right when we came back we found nicole and emily waiting at our door. of course. haha we ate drank and...danced to mexican music? then this morning we woke up and al, emily, nicole, jo and I went to LA to eat ramen at Orochon. it wasn't as packed as we thought it would be, which was good because we wanted to eat quickly to dodge LA traffic on our way back.

tomorrow's christmas and with the rents gone, i'm not so sure what we'll be doing. tonight were going to my aunt's house for christmas dinner. maybe tomorrow will be a full on baking day.

i went to best buy the other day and i bought myself an external hard drive to backup my laptop incase some bug crawls into my laptop and sends it into a crazy tear-filled meltdown. so anyway, i was filling it up with most of my pictures and music last night when i came across some extremely old pictures. i felt like i've never seen them before. it was so weird. i ran through my graduation, past birthdays, and family trips. wanna see?

after some intense finals, im finally on break to allow for my brain to recovery from the 3rd degree burns and swelling. speaking of winter break, california weather is on the fritz. 80 degree winter weather?! anyway, im so glad im on break now. i could catch up on some reading that i've been pushing off for months.

currently nicole and carlos are over, drinking and watching episodes of the office. unfortunately i have to wake up early tomorrow for a BR christmas breakfast. then em's coming back tomorrow! so hopefully we'll all hang out and i'll catch up on some christmas shopping. my familys also having a christmas dinner thing tomorrow so that should be fun :) i haven't eaten real food in weeks...
