i am so sleepy, yet so hungry. i want something salty. yummy, chips are so good. that really hit the spot, now i can go back to blogging. those chessy waffle chips really hit the stop. they are perfect snacks for our trip. i hope i don't eat them all. i am taking a brak from filling out my scholarship stuff. i still need to take a nap. so i can be awake for the drive.
i been eating all day today and watched 5 hours of rosewell, it was fantastic, and i was drowning in chocolate. i made chocolate covered strawberries, and a chocolate bark. white of course.
here's the cake i made earlier this week. so plain and simple. i was going to doll it all up, but after making sushi, i just got tired and left it simple. it's more delicious that way.
Earlier this week, I also learned about engaged rings when i was shopping with philip. The guy gave us engagement rings 101. An engagement ring are based on 4 things. 1)Clarity, 2) Cut, 3) Color, 4) Carat.
Here's what I learned to look for:
1)F Flawless - no internal or external inclusions.
IF Internally Flawless - no internal inclusions, slight external inclusions.
VVS1-VVS2Very Very Slightly Included - minute inclusions that are very difficult to detect under 10x magnification, even by an experienced grader.
2)Round Well Cut Round Brilliant. Certificate or a GIA Certificate verifying the quality of your diamond
3)D
4) 1.10-1.98
Setting: Platinum Trellis Setting width 3mm, Platinum Three-Stone Trellis Setting width 2.5 mm, Platinum Ridged Contour Setting
Summary:
Signature Ideal cut
D color, IF clarity
Round 1.1
Price: $23,233.00 ---> Priceless
Platinum Trellis Setting
Size: 4.5
Price: $1,250.00 ----> Priceless
Total: $24,483.00 ----> I wish I owned a diamond mind. I would go blind with all the bling bling ---> 1.5 semesters tuition. $$$$

its so nice to have a break. this weekend was great it felt long. started out at happy hour at yardhouse on friday, dropped some cash on shopping. it was the best way to start off my break after a tough semester of constant studying. caught up and saw a lot of people. then got to hang out with my best freind's and even meet up with sondhaya. i haven't seen here in so long. had a satisfying breakfast and saw bride and prejudice again. that is really a great movie, it's so funny and cheesy. then went shopping. that was fun! what a great weekend to start off with. today off to go ring shopping. kinda sleepy though, i got up early.

what is it about finals that makes me nostalgic? i remember back in the days at UCI, around finals week, the weather would be gloomy. and all i wanted to do was nothing. but i have a portfolio and 3 more finals to go.
DH is so time consuming really, but the pay off will be great. one more year and boards then i am home free. i am not totally convinced on the whole DDS thing. and to be honest with you, during the 4 years i was at UCI, i wasn't sure, and still i am not. should i just apply like how i applied to DH??? i think so pondering is still due. I really like DH alot. I am not sure about DDS. It does render me independent when i practice. but is that what i want. i have qualms about the profession, so perhaps so more observation will provide with a sense. I was thinking a master in cranofacial biology?? eh? okay, time to perhaps nap and work on my porfolio and LA study guide. so glad i have no finals tomorrow.
I got my A, baby!

my leg is hurting. it has been bothering me of late. Is it lack of sleep. i been pretty good lately about the whole OTC drugs. but i think i am going to take an advil and brew some tea. have finals, this week and next. plus, i have do write about my 12 some odd classes. gosh....today i was conversing with my classmates about fees and they were like why did you quit. i would rather do that they say. i often think, hmmm....why? then i remember. i know i will be better off in the long run so i tell myself to suck it up and deal. i really like what i am doing and learning. i might take the DATs to see how i do and perhaps apply to dental school. but i don't think my passion truly lies there. so perhaps it would be a waste of time. it would be best to do it after i take my boards though, that's an idea, but not until next year. i was talking to goldwyn today and he made some good points about dds. but dh makes bank too and there is less stress. but also less independence. something to think about over break, i suppose.
i am just praying to keep my A's. i hope i held it in micro, i was really iffy after that final. I need to get into the habit of studying earlier, that's what so hard, but some study skill to work on. GOAL....SCORE.
i will just leave you with this.

Chew on this: crunching ice can be bad for your teeth
While blenders and ice crushers are perfect for crunching ice cubes, teeth are not.
Many people habitually chew on ice, especially during the summer months. That’s when dentists' offices are crowded with patients suffering from gum injuries and broken teeth. The American Dental Association says avoiding chewing ice is a simple way to avoid tooth injuries.
For refreshment, instead of crushing big chunks of ice with the teeth, dentists recommend letting ice slivers melt in the mouth like candy. Dentists also recommend baby carrots or apple chunks to ice chewers who are seeking a crunch.
But anyone who has a persistent ice-chewing habit and finds it difficult to stop should let his or her dentist know. Craving and chewing ice is often associated with iron deficiency anemia.
As the name implies, iron deficiency anemia is due to insufficient iron. The body needs iron to make hemoglobin, a substance in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen.
It's a common type of anemia. Some 20 percent of women, 50 percent of pregnant women, and 3 percent of men are iron deficient. It is often corrected with iron supplementation.

HEY ALL,
My class, Dental Hygiene Class of 2008, is having a fundraiser. We just got another shipment. So for those of you that are interested grab this deal. Get ready for spring fling.
I am selling the Oral-B Vitality Toothbrush. This is an electronic
toothbrush so it's rechargeable. And for a great price. Only $15. This is a pretty great deal, even cheaper than Wal-mart. And no tax added to it. How cool is that! If you're interested, let me know ASAP. So I can put you down for it before we run out. Just some added info about this brush. It has an oscillating/rotating motion with a 2 minute timer (cause you should be brushing your teeth for at least two minutes). The great part is any replaceable Oral-B brush head will fit. You'll feel like you just came from a cleaning.
I am also selling Crest Whitestrips Supreme. Now this is way better than the ones they sell at the retail stores. This is dental office quality. PROFESSIONAL! It uses 14% Hydrogen Peroxide which is way more effective. Plus you are getting a 3 week supply (84 strips). It's only $40. You can use it 30 minutes, twice a day. You can't get this quality at the stores. The ones you get retail can run $20 for a 1 week supply. But with this you get a 3 week supply for just $40, that means you are saving $50. Not to mention, at the stores, they only use 10% Hydrogen Perioxide. These strips are also 14% longer on the upper and 18% longer on the lower. Trust me, you'll be lilke, wow it is longer and can whiten more of your teeth. And yes, you can use it with bonding, crowns, or veneers. Plus, I wouldn't advertisesomething I myself wouldn't use. I was impressed that's why I want to share
this deal with you all.
Last one, we are also selling the Oral-B ProfessionalCare® 7550 for $45. This is another electronic toothbrush that comes with 4 brushheads. This is the only one to combine a compact round brushhead with a unique pulsing 3D action to help prevent and even reverse gum disease. The combination of high speed pulsations and the oscillating rotating technology pioneered by Oral-B has been shown to reduce plaque and gingivitis more effectively than a manual toothbrush.
Oral-B ProfessionalCare® 7550
includes:
•Storage charger holds up to
four brushheads
•4 Brushheads
•2-minute timer
Summary:
Oral-B Vitality $15
Crest White Strips Supreme $40
Oral-B ProffessionalCare 7550 $45
If you're interested, email me at kuotiong@usc.edu or call me.
Thanks!

my chest is aching
my shoulders aren't baking
massage need a ling
is it the stress of school that makes my body all tense. or is it the mere action of studying. i think it's the mere action of studying. i am crone over all day long sitting in a classroom, working in the clinic and doing more crone positions when i study and read. oh what a tangle web i weave.
so i can't wait till the weekend. i feel like i been in school so long already. i've got a perfomance eval already coming up. it should be fun. the past two days have been chill. now the hard part is coming. BOO. i have to wake up before the crack o' dawn. double boo. I have lecture at 8. that means waking up at 5:45 so i can catch the train and then the bus and be at school all before 8.
i literally can't wait for the weekend. i am way productive them on all accounts. I kinda like my schedule because i get out earlier. tomorrow, i finish at 3:20, possibly earlier. i am going to stay later to do some independen studying and study with linda. hopefully, i don't get home too late. going to target 7 at the latest to catch the bus. that gives me ample time to read a little bit and shower for the the next day. debating on whether to bring my laptop. hmmm....it's so big. i need to get one of those sony viao, they are so light and small.

My break is nearing its end. boo hoo hoo. So some realization and updates about my life. Now that i am bad in school life is different. First of all I live at home now. After being away for 7 years, it was definitely a re-adjustment living at home again. Of course, things are different now. I am much older, but not that much.
I have gotten use to the living adjustment. The price of freedom isn't cheap. I have to deal with my annoying parents, but hey, they feed and house me so I shouldn't complain all that much. It is an expensive price though. They don't bother me as much and leave me alone to study. They always make me dinner so that save me time and money. My dad makes me a home cook meal everyday, so that's pretty spoiling, plus cause I don't like take out.
I escape from my house to maintain my sanity and it has been working out for me. I am moving out of my house and into the guest house. So that will make things better because I will have more privacy and a pretty sweet deal. Now my friends can come visit me! Yes, Lysette crash is you need to cause that drive is a killer. I'll be able to bake again because the stove in there works. I have a bedroom, though that closet is tiny, a bathroom, kitchen and living room. I hope Blaise cleans up the patio before he leaves.
New year's is coming up and I haven't got any resolutions. Oh well. So this is going to be a long blog I realize. Going on, I spend Christmas at Vegas.
The adventure started off at Mammoth where I snowboard and had some delicious breading at Eric Schat's. We had some great snow. Benedict even dabbled to try the sport. We had a great time. I did so many runs, it helped that I was just playing in the green circles for I was watching benedict and at the same time it benefited me. What a symbiotic relationship. Yes, I know....you are thinking, NERD. and I said. bleh!
Sophia wasn't doing well at all during the whole trip; she was pucking and pooing left and right. I wasn't too pleasant for her, and she couldn't eat anything. She had the STOMACH FLU. Poor Sophia, what didn't help was the lack of hot water, so she couldn't readily clean her nasty poooing butthole. I felt bad for her. We had to boil water the provincial way. What was also annoying was how the lack of hot water elevated to the annoyance of the family knocking at me for it. Apparently, the water heater was broken and wasn't fix during our stay up there, so we had ice cold freezing water that was nearly impossible to function with. But alas, I hung in there like a survivor and Blaise even shower in it. It wasn't going to kill me. But others though otherwise. But hey, my motto is, I ain't going to let that ruin my trip cause I see it as things could be worst off. But I hear ya Sophia, you were already worst off.
We ventured off to Vegas, the drive there took a toll on Sophia. Read my brother's blog about it. He details it well. Upon our arrivial at Vegas, we stayed at the Tuscany Resort and Casino. It is not your high rise hotel. I like it there better, and would stay there again. Less smoky. Sophia's condition didn't get any better so we took her to the ER and they hooked her up to an IV. The next day we went to a RAIN concert. He's a korean R&B pop star. The show was fun, I like watching dancing and that sort of stuff. Of course, I couldn't understand what he was saying, but I would interpret sometimes. Some of which I found odd and disturbing, but then realize that it had the same idea with hoes in american.
When I came back, I went to Disneyland. That was fun. So here are more slideshow postings of it. Oh yeah, I updated my pictures too. Hopefully, I update my external today and work out. My goals for today.

The dreaded finals week is here. i hope i gets As on all my exams. that will make my christmas. so i just need to keep up my end and study. i really can't wait till this week is done with. it's going to be GREAT after! relaxation and hanging out with friends. my first winter break where i feel like i truly deserve this break. i wish it was longer though, but we can't have it our way all the time.
As relaxation in preparation for my finals week, I went out to old town yesterday and had dinner at Mi Piace. I've never been there before so it was nice to try something new. We had started of with some calamari and parmeasean bread. Both were quite tasteful. And the entrees were tastely as well as the desserts. It was nice to have a lovely dinner. the best way to start of my week of horror. i am sure it won't be so bad. Thanks for dinner! It was delightful! :)
Now it begins, the fantastic world of Radiology.

I am just so glad it's almost time for winter break. next week are finals plus one day. i really can't wait to chill and take care of all the odds and ends. it's going to be great and productive. i am sleepy. that's what happens when i have to study for a quiz or two. tomorrow is an early day. so i am going to try and sleep early tonight. i better pack a lunch, i have a longer than usual friday. maybe i can make an bagelwich with egg. yum...i can't wait. i better pack snacks too, to keep my glucose blood level happy. okay, time to read about the second molar and primary dentition.

the holidays are here! and that means holiday cookies. last year i whipped up these goodies. this year i don't have a stove. what does that mean? probably won't be making as much, but i'll try. i am going to make, perhaps, the button cookies, the hazelnut shortbread, and hmmmm....maybe russian tea cake. of course, blondies and the zoombies are favorites. maybe even some thumb prints. i'll have to see with what time allots me. but for now, it's porfolios and such. yummm....cupcakes, better yet, CAKE. off to workout and make crepes. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!! What are you thankful for?

this year...i don't know what i want , i just know i have a lot to be thankful for. for the past few years, i haven't really yearned for anything.
I am fairly satisfied with life. but there is something that i perhaps subconciously year for. what that may be, i don't know or do it. see it's subconcious, so that be the answer to that. I have a skewed perception about christmas. i don't really dwell too much into it. i really just enjoy being in the holiday spirit, and i love the days off.
I love making wishes, but in the end i am just grateful for what i am blessed with. The past few birthdays i've forgotten about the whole birthday wish. i think it's because i was truly satisfied with life. I did a 180 on my life, so we'll see when next year comes around how hopeful i am . nonetheless.......i will end here. for the whole picture blur.
so i wanted to get away from studying, so i moved my blog over to the new version and i started using the calendar feature on goggle.
i have this problem. whenever i have exams, i am ant-sy and don't want to study. but i should. ugghh....bleh. so i need me a massage. i am hurting. is it the new top i put on my bed, or is it the lack of need i say more. hmmmm....nonetheless. sound like a massage is in order. could it be my pillow or the lack of water. i really just want the weekend to come. i need it and its only monday. what does that say. i guess its cause next week there are three days of school. then it's 2 days off. i will sleep and study. that's the plan. i have like so much writting to do.
i am just glad i have finished the reading for 2 of my thousand class. ahhh...i am so random, i miss going up north and just getting away for a week or so. i am suppose to go to mammoth, perhaps that will be relaxing, but what i really want to do is take a mini retreat from familiar surroundings and just sleep all day long and stretch and watch tv, whine and be a baby.
okay, time is up. i am going to study, alas..
closing with....these are the days of our lives, we should enjoy them to the fullest. there is this song that all of a sudden popped in my mind....it goes....i had a lover, who loved me.....blaahhh..blahhh....right from the start and to you ......can't remember the rest of the words.. who sings it?
Tuesday, November 07, 2006
my stomach hurts. my legs ache. BOO! I've taken 3 advils, and a tylenol. BOO. ohh, pain, go away, and don't come back another day. trying to do my study questions, watch tv, pain, and do my lab. that is the plan for the evening. wonder if in a gracey practice session. hmmmm...tired. we'll see, the night is still young. going to try get to school at 8:30, maybe catch a presession. don't think they'll be a quiz in perio tomorrow. but who knows. okay, study time. i need something soothing for my belly, hmmm......i know, yea you guesses it. off i go.

DRAINED!!!!!! i am so tired of everything right now. it's never ending and i feel like i am drowning. there's always so much to do and not enough time to do it all. i feel like i am falling behind. today is such a sad depressing day. i just want to crawl under a rock and hide. or run away. i need to climb one of those big mountains and just scream.
i had a perio exam today and it was so tricky. i hate tricky questions. it's like it's IT or NOT. who cares about the frills. I mean really. ROAR!!!!!!!! one question had like 20 subquestions. that's not cool. I am pissed off! AHHHHHHH!!!!!! and now i have yet another exam to study for and that's going to be tricky too. ROARRRR!!!! stop creating these wrinkles. they are NOT flattering. i am going to destress. i am going to take my typhadont apart. hope it doesn't stress me out. hahaha....i should do it after i study. oh well. let's test my knowledge.

i wanna go to mammoth, or lake tahoe. somewhere fun. someone save me and take me to a far away land, where i can vast in the snow and drink hot cocoa.
i am awake again from my nap and behind schedule. so i better brush up, it's so me. when i have exams i just want to sleep. when i have nothing, i am wired for hours. alas, it's just one of those uncontrollable things. can't wait till friday. then i can relax and start studying for radiology. mark my words, i will conquer you.

i've done it again. i just ate and now i am all tired. ready for a nap. i am laying slightly in bed. but i need to study. my side ache though, so is it fatness setting in or is it just aches and pain. let's hope for the 2nd. i think i need a massage. ouchie!
maybe it's the cold weather too setting in with the rain and all. i guess a little cushion would help. no......must think disneyland.

i am kinda sad. i am getting old. i've hit the quart-life. then i think, have i accomplished what i wanted to? then i think, i should just live it up and not think about it. but that's impossible. oh well, perhaps, i am in my minute of solitude. okay, it's over, time to be happy again. maybe it's cause i have to wake up earlier tomorrow. or maybe it is something else. i probably just need to buy myself something pretty to band aid it. okay, more on these thoughts later on. time to sleep, have an early tomorrow. too bad i have clinic, hope it is productive.
Tuesday, October 10, 2006
i am pretty exhausted and just really tired of studying. but why can't i stop looking over my notes. one last run through, and another round tomorrow. gosh, i am hungry. i must resist. well, maybe some hot water. that might make me sleepy though. i am such a baby sometimes.
oh i hope i ace my exams tomorrow. the never ending cycle. i can't wait until winter break, better yet, no, i was going to say thanksgiving, but then i realized that i will probably be studying.
oh yeah, so to relieve stress, i try to take a day off and just relax. blah....i am going to chill, ROAR, no i must study.....what is it with my self battles. ROAR! this is why i don't like test. they were made to cause wrinkles and make us age more. because sure you prep for it and over prepare and well, it pays off i guess when you're like, that wasn't so bad.
and what's up with me using the word "LIKE"? it must be cause i am back at home and surrounded by morons. my professor made an anecdote about it in class. he was saying as he was walking around campus, he over heard a girl talking on the phone saying "and he liked called me." He was saying well, he didn't like call you, he did call you. out whole class busted out laughing. i don't think, or at least hope i don't use it like that.
okay, enough blabber and jib-jab.
onward and beyond.

so it's late, i really should go to sleep, but i am just not there yet. soon though, i feel it. i have exams coming up again. it's a never ending ordeal. I am just glad I have gone over all this material. it's a matter of going all over my review preparation. i am quite proud of it. anyways, that is what i will doing tomorrow. Going over some fantastic histology. and then some clinic stuff. oh what fun.
so now that i am living at home, i live another life as i was before. I never really noticed the change until now. I am no longer working. I am back at school. I study all the time with my 8 classes keeping me on my toes. There is always something for me to do and I am never at that point where I have nothing to do. I try to get ahead or at least be on top of things. I think I am doing pretty well. I really need to work on radiology though. i feel like i need to try harder in that class. so next exam, i am going to ACE that sucker.
My dad lately keeps giving me these little speeches and i really just laugh them off. another thing, now that i am back living at home, my parents are setting rules. I mean really, I think i am old enough to make my own decisions. And really, I know what is right and wrong. I am not stupid. I have a lot of common sense and it's like if they don't see that then they really don't understand or know me at all. they alawys harp on other people, when in reality are they really much better?
I am trying to be a better person and not judge cause i see everyone doing it everysay and its sad. Maybe that's why I am so reserved and keep thoughts to myself. I don't want to offend anyone and I don't want to pass judgement on them. Another thing i realize, I never really though I was a push over, but in restrospect, I am. I am going to try and change that.
on another note, the bonfire I threw was successful. so i am happy about that. it's getting cold, I better do try and sleep.
in closing, moving back home has shed some light on how i use to see things and how i see them now. for example, when I was off on my own, what I thought I wanted isn't what I want anymore? So then I think, was it timing or the influences around me? I think its what i am witnessing now, it is shedding new light on what I assume ignored before, but now i see why i questioned it in the begining. So perhaps a gut instinct is always right. or is it? to answer, i think it nothing is ever set in stone. life is all about change and evolving. slowly, the caterpillars becomes the butterfly.

this is going to be a long blog. so bear with me. the past two weeks have been pretty crazy. i been stressed. but now that all ends. at least that specific kind of stress. so i had my probing comp today and i did good. i am glad because i had to put up and work with an unfortunate person. she really was incompetant and didn't come prepared and ready to work. on top of that she didn't manage time wisely and was just really not performing like someone who is suppose to be giving it their all. i will say she got better over time, but still there is a lot of improvement that could be worked on. She really upsets me because i felt like she was using me. and there was absolutely no professionalism on her behalf. She lacks confidence and really just needs to know her stuff. or just fake it until you make it. you gotta show that you know it. or else, you won't get anywhere in life.
in addition, i felt like she put me in many situations that could have been avoided. it is a rule that you don't work without a faculty member present, she insisted that it was okay. putting me in that situation was wrong. because she can screw me over by being a complicated patient. so i felt like i had to do what she wanted or else. so she is very unethical. another thing she doesn't manage her time to get her work done. she claims we did not learn it, but i did, and i was in class and so were you, so did you just not listen or something.
For reals, you better get your act together, and shape up. it's unfair for you to ask me what questions were on the test, it is not fair to everyone else who took the exam where they were suppose to. so whatelse?
she threatened me that if i didn't help her out on her probing, she would be complicated in my exam. that is not right. i really don't know what i should do about her. i have to take the same classes with her for the next two years. i better just keep my mouth shut. maybe she'll get her act together, if not, i am sorry for the next person that has to be her partner.
all i can say is that i am glad, i am done working with her. now i can loose this pulsating vein on my neck. the rest of the week is going to be great. time to do homework and start stuying for exams.
last thing, she was like, can you come early so i can practice? i didn't have class until 1 that day, so i was like, fine i'll meet you at 11. and there was no faculty member present. and she was like, i will go for you if you need me too. she did not and she flaked. F-her. lastly, infection-free environment is the utmost important thing. she was like, we can use the same set up for you. I was like F-no!!!! I don't want your stinky disease ass germs. Hell no am i sitting on that chair that you residued over. you've got some bacterial infection and i don't want any of that. so i told her, NO! you do that and YOU'LL FAIL. I am even skeptical about sitting in the chair she set up.
okay, enough of that. comments?

i can't stand incompetency! i mean get your act together. if you can't perform, then maybe you should try harder. i will not put up with this crap. my time is valuable and if you don't prep, then screw you. i am not going to let your negative aura affect me. if you don't have confidence, then grow some balls.

hello, so 2 down 8 more to go. alas, i have like 2 everyday this week. i am studying again in a wee bit. i just woke up from my nap. okay post and then study away.
A view from Diamond Head. It was a hike. The view was great those. something about blue skies and water and the city. It's spectacular. Wonder when my next venture will be. Nonetheless, i can't wait!

it's so hard to study sometimes. i am missing something.
it was so nice to just lay by the beach and enjoy life. i miss those days.
i am feeling overwhelmed about the week to come. i have some sort of testing if not two on ever day. goodness. what did i get myself into, i think to myself sometimes. i've grown such an appreciation for everything in a past few weeks. okay back to the books. i can't wait for winter vacation. maybe i should find a seasonal job. what do you think?

the night is still young. this is what i hope to accomplish before my attempt at 8 hours of sleep. i want to turn in my lab report that isn't due until friday. but i really want to get that out of the way. i want to get my notes organized. and i want to read some for my classes.
i bought some bluebeery ice cream. i can't wait to have some tomorrow. i got distracted. i did a number of things in between the some and the blueberry. i am like that, like what? i get distracted and do a task then i go back to my original task. sometimes i am really scattered brained. is that a good thing? anyways, since i pretty much lost my train of blog. i am just going to post a picture to capture sometimes. either how i am feeling, or maybe just to take a vacation by looking at where i've been. maybe i'll even give it an artsy caption.
At the Paradise Cove Luau as we watched the sun start to set. I love this depiction because it just seems so surreal as the sun shines down on various particles of the clouds to give an array of gleam. Watching the sunset, its so romantic. i'm a hopeless romantic if you haven't already noticed. an interesting thing i learned about hawaiian culture is the arrangment of where flowers go. ig i am not mistake if you have flowers on the right side, it means you are single and on the left it means you are not single. that was fascinating. but i guess not so much cause people wear wedding bands on the left hand. why the left and not the right?

hurt - johnny cash
before i dive into hours of studying, tonight being teeth and mineralizaion.....i decided to go ahead and blog it up.
so its my 3rd week into school and gosh, i really have a full load. week one wasn't too bad cause i only had a GE class and orientation. Week 2 was like BAM, and now it's third week. i am just glad that i don't have class on friday. i have a pretty set schedule that revolves around a lot of quizzes. one of my classes is quizzed based, so that's pretty interesting. no final, but i hope i do well on these quizzes. anyways, i am pretty happy about what i am doing and i really like the USC environment, being back in school and all. but at the same time i am so drawn to wish that i could do whatever i wanted to. so i tell myself that's okay and i'll get through this and be free again making more money so i can live leisurely.
instead of driving, i have learned to use public transportation, it's actually quite nice to ride the rail cause i get to talk to people i would never talk to. and just in general, i am helping save the environment. i feel like time is just going to fly. there is so much to learn but not enough time in the day to learn it all or do what i want to. that's why i love the weekends. because i can study without going to class and still go out and have breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
if you haven't noticed already, this is going to be a very long BLOG. so this weekend was fun, i got to do so much and i got so much studying done. I went kayaking on Back Bay, then had dinner at the Orange County Mining Company. I pretty much just studied on sunday. And the same thing on monday, and ended the labor day weekend with some yummy carne asada and carnitas tacos. It was yummy.
So as i am riding home from school, i do a lot of thinking. about life, where i am, where i want to be. the people in life. reflecting on conversations i have, and so on. It's always somewhat melancholy cause there's something missing.

this is an action shot. it was so fun driving up to north shore. and this was one of our stopping point. you can kayak here but we didn't get a chance to. next time.

So as i am riding home from school, i do a lot of thinking. about life, where i am, where i want to be. the people in life. reflecting on conversations i have, and so on. It's always somewhat melancholy cause there's something missing.
