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!!!

Bad morning
Waking up 15 minutes before class starts knowing thats about how long it will take you to get to said classroom is not a great start to the day. True story. I woke up with my alarm and turned it off. Then laid back down, thinking I'd be okay. Yeah not so much. I woke up at 7:45 and was like "omg!!!!!!!" and grabbed jeans cuz it was grey and sad out, a tank and a jacket n undies, ran to the bathroom and got changed. Then ran back to my room, threw my books and stuff in my backpack and took off, barely locking the door behind me. I was running and was like halfway there and saw that I had 3 minutes to get there, which wasn't going to happen. So I gave that up and just walked really fast-got to see a car accident right there on Campanile and Hardy. That was fun...lots of yelling. Yeah got to class at like 8:05 I think..but 3 other ppl came in after me so I didn't feel as bad. Then we did a group thing and I was pretty out of it..but it was ok. After class I went and bought a muffin and a bottled vanilla frap at the mini-mart we have there. That was pretty much my highlight of the morning. Pretty sad, huh?
Weekend in Alhambra
I was back in Alhambra this past weekend. My class on Friday afternoon was cancelled, so I told Mom that she could come earlier since I would be here with nothing to do. I considered not getting up for my 10am class, but I had an essay and a summary to turn in so I got up and went.
So Friday night I got home and unloaded all my stuff, of which there was a lot it seemed. Then I went over to Sterling's for his going away party. It was pretty chill..just hanging out, listening to music. Left there like 10:30pm. At home I sat there and read magazines for a while then felt like watching a movie, so I went and started watching "Rent" on demand because one of their songs had been stuck in my head. But then I woke up and it was the part right after the song I wanted to hear and for some reason it wouldn't rewind. So I gave that up and went with the intention of going to bed, but ended up online talking to ppl until like 2 or 3. I also made plans to meet with Allie for a McDonald's breakfast the next day since we haven't seen each other in more than 2 months.
(not from the actual going away party, but that is at his house..gotta make do with what I have)
(not from Sat. but this was all I had)
Saturday morning: Woke up at 8:45am when I was gonna meet Allie at 9am so I got up and got dressed fast and waited for her to call. She did around 9:20 and had just woken up, so I just sat around and read magazines (still. I had a lot to catch up on). We finally met up and got our breakfast and sat and talked for a while, but we each had things to do that day so we had to leave. It was really good spending time with her as we didn't have the opportunity to this summer.
Saturday afternoon: Went to Macy's with Mom and Cyndi so I could get some shirts to go with my suit. We got 2 of those and then a sweater that looks like it has a shirt underneath so that I have another option for a B-Day dress for class. We then went and looked at the puppies in the pet store-soooo cute. I wanted to take this really tiny yorkie back down here with me. I'm sure no one would of known it's so little and cute. But because it's little and cute, it has a large price tag. Sad. Then we went over to the nail salon and I got the manicure I've been wanting for a few days. From there I went to New York & Co. and got 2 sweaters and 2 skirts since I just happened to have a coupon there. We then went to Pavillions (Vons whatever) so Mom could get some groceries for them and I could get some nonperishable items. We then went home and I took a nap.
Saturday night: Had a family birthday dinner for Chippie at Matt Denny's. I ate a really good burger, something I haven't had in a while. We just talked and had some quality time together and the boys could watch football and baseball while doing so. When we got back, I attempted to do some homework, but ended up sleeping instead.
Sunday: Went to church. We came home and I ate then had to pack up all my stuff, which was even more this time. Drove back down here and unloaded all my stuff. Then went to Vons down here to stock up on tv dinners and milk and buy some lunch meat and cheese since I had none of both of those things. We came back to the apt. and unloaded that stuff then Mom n Dad left and I sat down to do that homework for spanish, only I didn't. And I couldn't think of a topic for my speech. I made a sandwich for dinner. At 9, we watched "Desperate Housewives" which was really good. Then I went and did that spanish and just basically came up with what I could for that speech topic. I went to bed at around 2:30am, sadly, because I'm dumb.

Grey's Anatomy Party!!
So in case you live in a box and don't know, "Grey's Anatomy" premired last night. So Emily invited over friends and there were 11 of us in the living room of our apartment watching the recap show, which talking was allowed. But then the music video for "How to Save a Life" came on and the talking kinda cooled off and then as soon as we heard Meredith's voice start, lips were shut, no talking was allowed and cell phones were switched to silent. It was fun. We ate pizza, swooned over Mcdreamy, and enjoyed GA.

Weekend update!
So Thursday night, I hung out with Jamie, as she was leaving beautiful San Diego for the University of Oregon. We watched tv and then went to her house and hung out there for awhile. Then got some yummy Cold Stone's ice cream. Then she took me back to the apt. and I went back to doing spanish homework, which ended up taking forever and I fell asleep doing it and then had to get up to finish it in the morning, which was hard for some reason and I kept wanting to go back to bed.
Friday, I went to class and hung out at home in the evening. Then Jamie again came over and we got Starbucks. She then went and said goodbye to her other friends at SDSU, then came back and picked me up to spend the night at her place.
Saturday morning I came home and played Sims and watched movies on tv. In the afternoon, I went with Cayla and Brianna (a girl that was going to live with us but it didn't work out) to In-n-Out. We thought about maybe doing something else that night but ended up not meeting up. Later that night Cayla's friends Zander and Matt came over and we went to the beach by UCSD. We just laid out and looked at the stars n talked about random things. Very fun. We even got to see some shooting stars, which was amazing n def. something you don't get to see in Alhambra. Got dropped off back at the apartment n channel surfed n drank hot chocolate.
Sunday is the day of rest. I woke up at 9am n felt really hungry so I ate some cereal and watched some tv, but then I felt tired again so I went back to bed and woke up a little after 12pm. Then I did homework while watching the "America's Next Top Model" marathon on VH1.

Gambling! Shopping! Snakes!
Saturday I did something new-I gambled! Cyndi was down to visit her mom this weekend and asked if I wanted to hang out. So on Saturday afternoon, she and her mom picked me up and we went out to Viejas outlet mall to the new Lane Bryant store. I tried some stuff on that was cute, but found a jacket I really liked. It came in denim, green, khaki, or dark brown and it looks like there is a sweater underneath, cuz it has a hood and cuffs and a zipper on the inside of the outer color, and I really liked it in green, as did Cyndi. So we both ended up buying it-cute we can be twins some day. Haha.
Then we went across the street to the Viejas casino. Cyndi told me to have my ID ready since she got carded her first time, I probably would to. So I had it ready, but the guards said nothing except "Have a nice time. Good luck!" So we went in and I got a player's card with my name on it. We then went and found a nickel machine and Cyndi's mom each gave us a dollar to play the machine on. This game sucked and I won nothing so we left there and found a spot upstairs for her mom to play. She gave us each $20 to play with. If we came out ahead, she got her $20, if we lost, we had fun doing it. So Cyndi and I went off wandering. I went and played Jackpot Party. I wasn't getting much, then I got to play a bonus game. That was fun, and I kept playing on that one, but it stopped giving me money, so we left. We went off and I found Texas Tea, which I know is one of Dad's favorites, so I played that. It really liked me. I got to play a couple of bonus games and so I kept playing. But then it stopped liking me and while I had over $30 before, I ended up going down to under $20. We then went and I played this duck game that basically ate most of the rest of my money, which was totally taken away but Texas Tina, who never let me win anything. If only I had cashed out I woulda made some money, but oh well.
So we left the casino and went to Cyndi's mom's so I could do some laundry for free. I left it in the car and was going to bring it in through the garage. And she opened the garage door and as I walked out, I saw a snake slithering in! AHHH!!! I HATE SNAKES!!!!! So I was screaming and told Cyndi what it was and then she was freaking out. So she got a poking stick to try and get it to come out from under the leg of the pool table, but it just bit her stick. She wanted me to go in and watch it while she ran to get the neighbor, but I couldn't step foot inside the garage because of my fear of snakes. Then I just happened to look up and I saw the biggest black widow I have ever seen!!! So I screamed again and was basically standing there crying and shivering. I wanted to get in the car since I had the key, but Cyndi wouldn't let me. She ran and got the neighbor and after a lot of work, they caught it in a pillowcase and took it down the canyon.
Then I could do laundry. I put a load in and Cyndi and I went off to get some take-out. As we waited for the food, we went next door to Blockbuster to look at movies they had on sale. We both ended up buying 2 movies-"Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and "Bewitched" for me and "Monster-in-Law" and "Bewitched" for her. Each one was only $5 so that was great for a poor college kid like me. Haha. So we went and got the food, went back to her mom's watched "Monster-in-Law" and ate. I did more laundry and watched tv. Then went home at like 12:30am.
When I got home, Cayla was still up and we decided to watch "Sisterhood" on my computer since we lack a dvd player for now. We watched some and when Tricia came home she watched some with us too, but I was falling asleep so we called it a night.
Sunday afternoon, Cyndi came and took me to the store for some groceries-like veggies for when I cook the chicken breasts she gave me from her giant bag that she got from Costco. We also went to Wal-Mart so I could buy some files and a little box to put the files in to keep myself more organized. Then it was time to finish homework for school on Monday.

Friday night
So Friday night there wasn't a whole lot going on. After class I watched "Rent" on tv and Cayla had a friend over. It was like after 7 when it was just me and Cayla hanging out and she asked if I wanted to take an adventure with her. So we quickly grabbed a bite to eat at home and then walked over to campus to buy trolley tickets.
We went over to Mission Valley to the Micheal's so she could buy some art stuff since she was going to paint a picture. It got me in the mood to do something artsy as well, but couldn't decide what to do and the store was going to be closing soon so I just decided not to get anything.
After we left Micheal's we decided to shop some and went to Lohmman's (found nothing) and Nordstrom's Rack, where Cayla bought a pair of jeans. Most everything was closed after that so we went back across the street to the Starbucks right by the trolley station and got coffee to drink while we waited.
When we got back, Cayla started her art project and I went online and we watched some tv. For a while we considered watching a movie on my laptop, but ended up not doing that. Then at like 12 or 1am we went to sleep.
We went over to Mission Valley to the Micheal's so she could buy some art stuff since she was going to paint a picture. It got me in the mood to do something artsy as well, but couldn't decide what to do and the store was going to be closing soon so I just decided not to get anything.
After we left Micheal's we decided to shop some and went to Lohmman's (found nothing) and Nordstrom's Rack, where Cayla bought a pair of jeans.

Labor day weekend
Yeah so I was home this Labor day weekend. Why? Because I was homesick. This past Wednesday (the 30th) was kind of a hard day. It was my first Girl's Night that I wasn't home and missed my mom. I talked to her online in the afternoon and got sad that I was going to be sitting here eating a tv dinner alone so I cried some. Then I asked Jamie if it was bad that I already wished I was going home for the weekend, and she assured me it wasn't and told me she was gonna come over later and cheer me up.
Originally I wasn't going to come home, but then missed it and was having a rough time and I thought my parents wouldn't let me come home, but Thursday my mom said she'd come get me on Friday after my last class and Monday Bradley would take me back down here. So I decide to go home.
But that night I finished the little mini paper I had to write for my 8am class on Thursday and texted Jamie to come when she could. So at like 9:30 she came over with all these old pictures and letters and keepsakes from our camp days. It was so much fun just sitting there watching tv and remembering all sorts of things and looking at pictures of our younger days. Good stuff!!! I love her for coming and cheering me up because she did a good job of it. I'm so sad that she is gonna go to school in Oregon and that her family is moving to Hawaii soon so this is like our last times to hang out for quite some time.
So I came home and got some sleep-it's really loud down here. And got some groceries to take home. Then Saturday night I went to the movies with Katherine and Stacy and we saw "Little Miss Sunshine" which was pretty funny. It wasn't all like what I had expected it do be about but it was still good. Then we went across to Thai Purple and got some food. And since there is a lack of things to do in Alhambra on a Saturday night, we went home after that. It was good seeing them since we hadn't seen each other all summer, and I barely got to talk to Kat all summer cuz she was busy working.
Sunday I went to church and Target to return something I bought before I left, but found it was all cracked when I went to put stuff in it when I was packing. Then I just kind of hung out the rest of the night.
Monday Bradley and Christie brought me back down and took me to Vons so I could stock up on some more tv dinners and milk and such. Then they looked at my computer to check what was up with my internet and they sorta fixed it and showed me what to do if I got certain messages. Then we went to eat at Chili's (which I remembered how to get to from the weekend before). Then they took me back home and I did some reading for the next day.
