School stuff
So I'm doing pretty well in school. Most recently, I got an A on my Communications midterm, have an A in spanish, got an A on my most recent paper in writing class and got a B on my Humanities midterm. Haven't done too much in HTM to get a grade that we have full on grades yet and we took our midterm today, so we just got to see about that one. However what I have done in the class I've gotten full credit for so I'm not too worried. These are definitely higher than last year's. And junior year. AP classes, chem, and trig really dragged me down. haha. So much for people saying you do bad your first semester/quarter in college.

Why I'm mad
So for those of you with AIM that read my profile, you may have noticed a sudden anger in it. Some of you know why that is, but for those of you that don't, let me fill you in: My parents house got broken into. I have a right to be mad.
Happened on Thursday. Got in by messing with the security door. Took all my mom's jewelry. My good jewelry (like my black pearl ring I got on my trip to Hawaii and the gorgeous birthstone n diamond ring I got for graduation) and some cheap costume jewelry and homemade jewelry-why beads on some fishing wire is worth something I don't really know-money from my dad and brother and my brother's camera. That seems to be about it that we can see. These were obviously not the smartest of criminals-left like 4 stereos, a laptop, camera, ipod shuffle and a reg. ipod, and an autographed football. But whatever. Oh yeah they also left my room sorta clean, closing the jewelry box and ring boxes and putting things sorta back, but left my parents room trashed....its like "Yeah we know you were here, so my room you werent in a hurry but their room you were?" Maybe it was an OCD theif in my room and then a slob in my parents' room. Don't know.
Everyone says its good no one was hurt. Well guess what-we are. Not physically, but mentally. You just don't even know how violated you feel after this happens. Some stranger has been in your house and knows your habits to know when you won't be home. It's creepy. I couldn't sleep in my room on Friday night because I couldn't get that picture outta my head. My mom also says that it's good I wasn't home alone because I would of had everyone sleeping in the living room with all the lights on that night. Which is probably true, since that was the only way I was sleeping on Friday, but I just needed one light and the tv on really. But anyway, yeah maybe it's nice that I wasn't home, but if I were, I would of heard the door being messed with and could of called the cops and stopped it. I woulda but the chain lock across the door and pushed the table in the entryway in front of the door and sit in front of it myself while on my cell phone. But we'll never know what would of happened then. But I will say this-I'm hoping a security system will be going in the house as soon as possible. I already checked rates...did that basically right after I got the call asking what jewelry I had at home.
So kids, the moral of the story today is this: PEOPLE ARE NO DAMN GOOD! And on behalf of myself and anyone else who's gotten robbed before: I hope the theives get in some horrific accident that leaves them in pain for the rest of their pathetic and miserable lives. And that when they die, they can go to hell.
p.s. in case you haven't noticed, i'm very angry and mean and to be quite honest, i don't care if that makes me sound bad. people that do stuff like that have no conscious anyway and they do it just to be jerks and get money instead of working honestly. they'd rather just screw everyone else out of stuff that has meaning to it only to be traded into a pawn shop for cash for something stupid like more drugs and alcohol.
p.p.s. i don't care this all makes me sound like a witch (off by one letter on that one many must be thinking) but again, i don't care. i have a right to be mad.

Update on life
So I haven't blogged in a really long time. Mostly because I wanted to include pictures in my posts, but have no card reader to upload pictures. Then last weekend when I was home I forgot and this weekend when I was home I couldn't find the card reader, so one day I'll just post photos from things that have been going on that I documented.
Let's see...haven't done this in a month, so whats going on...Well I cooked a real dinner that wasn't burned or anything. It was very exciting. It seriously came out perfect so that just proves I'm getting better at this whole domestic cooking thing. Then after cooking and eatting, I cleaned up the kitchen and scrubbed pots and cleaned the sink. All I need was an apron and some pearls and I'd be a 50s wife. Oh a dress too...and maybe a family to cook for. 50s wives didn't cook for themselves and if they did, they had a TV dinner, not a full on meal.
What else...well a few weeks ago I fell down going up some stairs...That wasn't cool. Not many people I know fall going UP stairs, but I've done it twice..once last year and then this time. I bruised myself and scraped my knee pretty good. And after it hurt to walk and of course it was my long day on campus so I had to walk all over the place. But after that I just came home and put some ice on them so the bumps that I knew were coming would be slightly smaller. It worked but I still had a very colorful bruise on my left knee.
Oh yes and I found someone that knows Alhambra!!! whoo! That is such a rare thing to find. But yeah so my 8am class got cancelled the like 2 weeks ago but we didn't know until we got to class and the teacher said she didn't feel well so we were just going to go over the quiz we got back and then we could go study for our midterm, which actually just meant we could go back to bed. But I had class at 10 and even though it was 8:05 and I considered going home and eatting since I had woken up at 7:40 and just got dressed and grabbed my stuff and left, I opted going to one of the Starbucks and getting coffee and a muffin. While there, this guy from my class came and we started talking about how we both got up late and hurried over to school for 5 minutes of class. So we got to talking and after we got our drinks he asked if I wanted to sit somewhere and talk more. So we went outside and talked more. Then he asked where I was from and I told him, and he was like "I know Alhambra. I lived there for the first few years of my life" and I was like "Really?" n he was all "Yeah then we moved to West Covina, but I love like the Pasadena area and all that" so we talked about Pasadena and Fossilman's and how there are like all of two white people in Alhambra and West Covina and how we really are the minority in those parts...not down here but at home, yes. haha. But its always cool to have someone actually know your area rather than having to say "Near Pasadena" when explaining where you're from.
Last Saturday, I went to Disneyland with my mom and brothers. Started out kind of rocky, but everything was cool in the end. But I'll tell you what's not cool-the cancellation of the fireworks show after standing there waiting forever for it. Stupid wind. Another thing that wasn't cool was my brothers smacking me because I didn't know what stuff was or because I had never seen a movie and especially because I hadn't ever been on Casey Jr. train or the Storybook boat ride thing....I tried pointing out that I didn't ride those things because I was coming with them when I was younger and they were so much older than I was so they didn't want to ride any of the "kiddie" rides..I mean even like Peter Pan and Snow White were big stretches for them at the time. They didn't buy it so I got hit. But I can cross off that Casey Jr. train off my list now. haha.
Personally, there are health issues in the family that have come up which were shocking, but we can hope things get better and more under control soon.
Oh yeah and Cayla and I watch a lot of movies and have been going to the gym and walked to Vons once for ice cream and cookies. True Vons is like about a mile away, but the cookies were worth it! MMM fresh baked cookies and Grey's Anatomy w/Dr. Mcdreamy!!!
