Doctors...

Today I had my appointment about the cyst on my wrist. Apparently its common but mines huge haha. I am going to be scheduling the surgery probably Wednesday and I will only be in a splint thing for about 2 weeks then my wrist will be back to perfection within 6 weeks. My first surgery. I am not nervous since its not a big deal.

I want a shake. I know its random but I saw one that they sell at my work and it looked really good. Of course it is probably like 15 dollars but then I started to crave a shake. haha. Still waiting for Sandellas to start training. No one has been able to get ahold of him. Hopefully it starts soon because I want to start saving for my puppy. :) Because I am getting a black lab. If its a boy his names going to be Bruno (The bicycle thief) and a girl maybe Bella or something. I am not sure yet.

Driving Queen

I am the student and dad is the teacher...

I am learning how to drive stick. Today was my first time and I only stalled two times. I have to practice giving the car enough gas because unlike my moms you barely push the gas down and it goes. We are going to find somewhere longer to practice so that I can practice putting it into second and third gear. It was pretty exciting though!

Will post what happens next time I drive it.

Waiting and waiting...

for my new job to start. I have no idea when training is going to start but hopefully it will be soon. I am excited about working there and it will be a great change from the Honda Center. Well this week nothing really happening in school. Had tests for all my classes on Wednesday and Thursday. I have a meeting with my moms friend at CSUF on Wednesday to just check to make sure I have everything on track for transferring. Then thats all. Work on Wednesday luckily its just tickets so I get to go home early and I work Sunday also. I need a new purse. Random fact but very true. I got our Wii working yesterday so I feel my Guitar Hero skills coming back. haha. Now Siobhan just tried to turn it on and its not working again. Ugghh.

Long time no Blog

I haven't blogged in a while so heres a little update:

Started school and so far its been pretty good. I actually like my math class.

No new job yet. Still looking and waiting for calls.

And thats basically all. I am looking into new colleges. Got a letter form CSU East Bay. So I am going to look into the school see if its cool.

Last week...

of summer school and I am looking forward to it. My last day of geology was last week and thank the lord it is over with because I don't think I could of lasted another day in that class. English ends this week and unlike geology I actually enjoy this class.

This weekend I worked and did homework. Thats all I have been doing for the past couple of weeks. I don't work until the 14th of August but I am trying to get a new job and have some god potentials. There is a new sandwich shop opening up right by my house on Anaheim Blvd. and I am going for an interview tomorrow. There is also a new clothes store at the Brea Mall called Cutesy Girl who are hiring right now. I am in need of a new job ASAP.

My first test...

was today in Geology. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. Seriously though that class is something else though. We have spent two weeks talking about sedimentary rocks. I think I am an expert now. haha. We spent like 20 minutes on volcanos and that was interesting but it was quickly over.

So today I was annoyed by my professor in Geology because he was asking about evolution and of course this girl who is a totally bible thumper starts talking smack on it so then I start arguing with her and we got into a total debate. Then my professor interrupts and says, "Anyways to get back to the subject of rocks. I have now found out we have a evolutionist that obviously knows alot about it." That wasn't bad until he kept calling me a monkey lover. Which is true but after a while it got annoying and he thought he was funny too. It wasn't.

I got my schedule for next months events and I work every Friday and Saturday all day. For some reason though on two days I am scheduled for 1AM when there is no event at that time. So I emailed my manager to see what is up with that. If its true I dont know about that.

So true...

I found this quote by Maya Angelou....

"I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass."

Oh yah haha I like it.

Homework Oh Homework....

Man, geology is a killer class. Not only do i have a research assignment due Monday I also have my first test. It should be pretty easy because it is about rocks and their cycles, volcanos, OC geology and how the earth was formed. The research assignment was finding all these old rocks where they are located, their exact age, what kind of rock it is and is it has any fossils. It was actually pretty interesting. Who knew rocks could be interesting. haha. Our class is huge too! It is filled with about 50 students. You have to get there early to get a seat you want.

My english class on the other hand is very enjoyable. The professor is hilarious and the class is always interesting. I have a rough draft of an essay about Twitter due on Monday. He explained what we were supposed to do and we get to choose what we want to write it about. I chose Twitter since I do it so I know some stuff about it. He took about 2 minutes to tell us and we all left confused about what we were supposed to do. haha. I am figuring it out though.

Only my first week of summer school done and I am tired and worn out from waking up at 5:30 to get to school early. At least I only have to do it for 5 weeks then I have a month off before fall semester.

Water play day for the kids

Lily Allen - Not Fair

It has a little western beat and her voice sounds cool in it! Its very catchy too so be careful...its kind of nasty though.

Lily Allen - The Fear

I think Lily Allen is so great. She says what she means in her songs and many of them can be tagged inappropriate but it just gives her some personality!

Wow...

long time no update. Well you know how life gets. You do stupid things and screw your life up then something happens and gets the smoke out of your eyes and get a good look at reality.

Life's treating me better now. I start summer school on Monday. I have a physical geology class in the morning, english after that and then finally a little running class. I am so out of shape that its not even funny. I haven't ran in almost three and a half weeks because of a little medical problem that popped up and caused me to have low levels of iron. That was the worst time of my life being tired all the time and when I would walk to my grandmas house which is not even half a mile away I would be out of breath like I just ran a mile!

I also got a job! I am going to start working at the Honda Center. I am looking forward to it alot actually. It is going to be a job that I am going to enjoy. I have orientation Wednesday and training July 1st to 4th.

Major, as in school, complications...

So after much worrying about my major and having my doubts. I decided that I am choosing between paleobiology and forensic anthropology. Its a hard decision but luckily both under anthropology division.

I also got back the results of my first biology test. I got a 74% but still have a B in the class. I didn't study that much for this one so my next one I know I need to study. I should take advantage of the student study groups my class does. I will go to the next one.

Little India...

I asked my dad how come he never informed me OR has taken me to this little slice of heaven called Little India. He knows I am obsessed with everything Indian form the music to the food...everything! I so want to go. He told me about it because Frida Pinto (Slum dog Millionaire and also a VERY beautiful girl) was there not too long ago. I want to go. Dad take me.

Marilyn Monroe...

So I recently saw Seven Year Itch and since then I have been in a Monroe craze. I want to watch more of her movies (already saw one other one). She is freaking gorgeous and adorable.

Freaking adorable!

Hahaha classic!

A new change...

I dyed my hair black last night. I like it but my dad keeps joking and saying that I look like the angel of death.

I feel like this is the longest weekend ever. Yesterday went by so slow I thought I was going to die! I have been trying to come up with a new painting but for some reason my creative side isn't coming out. So I decided to wait until the idea comes to me instead of forcing it out.

I still haven't seen Coraline yet. I also want to see Confessions of a Shopaholic. Looks really funny.

Coraline the movie!

Yes it does come out tomorrow! I am so excited because I saw the commercials and ads for it when we went to San Francisco and it looks like an awesome movie! Plus Portia really wants to see it too so I have someone to go with. We both said we would go see it with each other. I am ready to see it tomorrow but I will have to wait. Hopefully I can go see it next week, either Friday or Saturday.

My Aura of Serenity...

is this song right here. I listen to Sigur Ros when I am doing my homework and it makes me focus and cut everything out and just get my work done. THey are amazing! Not only do each of their songs mean something different to each person because the "words" are up for you to interpret but they are just amazing. Great group and would love to see them in concert.

Biology...

is so freaking interesting! You have no idea how serious I am. It might just be because my professor is awesome and teaches it so great, but I am really into this class. Diseases, skin, bones and muscles! Ahhh...one of my only classes I look forward to every week.

My other classes are going great. Learning how to manage stress in health class. So if you need any tips on deep breathing or anything let me know.

What I learned in San Francisco...

when comparing San Franciscoians to SoCalians:

When it comes to phones in San Francisco it seemed like the only people on their phones were the businessmen. I saw some people on their phones but it wasn't for 20 minutes or an hour it was for only about 5 minutes at most. Also no one and I mean no one texts. I did not see one person texting on their phone. I told my dad it must be a southern Californian thing.

Clothing and this is a big one! No furry jackets or Ugg boots, just North Face jackets, scarfs and leather boots. You could tell a tourist a mile away wearing big furry marshmallow jackets with bog old Ugg boots when it is not that cold out.

The atmosphere is just different there too. It is a little rushy there and people do walk fast but people are nice there. You can have conversations with the homeless people who are rich compared to some of the homeless that we have here. Here we are kind of afraid of homeless people thinking that each one has something wrong with them. Either they are drug addicts or crazy.

Overall I prefer the San Francisco way. I have made it my mission to move there after I finish school. I mean in SoCal we do have the sun and beaches but really I think I could go a while without that stuff.

Overview of My Trip in San Francisco

Well San Francisco was an awesome trip. Heres a little overview of what I did.

WEDNESDAY-- We left super early, 6:15 AM, to get to Long Beach Airport and then our flight was 45 minutes late. When we got to San Francisco and we were getting ready to land my head felt like it was going to explode! It hurt so bad. We took Jet Blue and it was pretty nice. I watched some TV and listened to Sirius music channels also. We took the BART, which I am now a professional at...a BART Pro to be exact, and when we got to downtown San Francisco we went to check into our little hotel, which I thought was cute because it was vintage and old, then we went to Lefty O'Douls to eat lunch. For the rest of the time we went to MacWorld got tons of free stuff, dad won an iPod Nano (whatever) and meet iJustine. Then back to Leftys for dinner where I got a big and i mean BIG enchilada with rice, bread and a slice of pie...and yes I did eat all of it and enjoyed it tremendously. After we went back to the hotel where I watched Animal Planet (watched all the time) and slept.

THURSDAY-- Skipped breakfast and took the trolley (super cool) to Fisherman's Wharf where we ate the best clam chowder in a bread bowl ever! It was so amazing and I love it! I almost got attacked by a giant seagull that wasn't even scared when I kicked my leg out, of course I wasn't actually going to kick it but I just wanted to scare it. THen we went into the Museum Mecanique which was cool. It had old game machines you could try and some was pretty funny. Then we went back to Macworld to go on the other side, but after we were done my dad stayed at Macworld and I went exploring of the city. I went into tons of shops. I went into Barneys and oh my gosh talk about feeling like you don't belong. I DID! It was terrible. They weren't mean but they just looked at me weird. Heres a list of some shops I went into Barneys, NikeTown (don't sell track spikes...whatever), Old Navy (biggest on West Coast), Levis (3 floors), Rasputin Music Store (5 floors of AWESOMENESS!) Macys (HUGE...5 big floors...it was crazy) Virgin Megastore (bought 2 shirts and apparently they have the biggest DVD selection on the West Coast) and I don't remember where else. Then I took a solo taxi ride to a thrift store I had read about but it was disappointing. Not as great as yelpers said it was. Then we had dinner at Loris 50s diner where I had fired chicken, cole slaw, fries and a strawberry malt which was so good!

FRIDAY-- Went straight to ChinaTown after we check out and had some great Dim Sum and did a little shopping for the kids and mom then went back to Market to go to the airport. Shorty and sad day. Already miss San Francisco and the weather.

Tomorrow is the big day!

We leave for San Francisco tomorrow morning and I am so excited. I am looking forward to it and I am so excited about going to Haight/Ashbury. I am in for some cool vintage shopping...hopefully cheap too! Going to get some things for my friends there too if they are in my budget. I think it is going to be a lot of fun though. I already have my bag all packed and my clothes for tomorrow laid out. I am ready to go! My dad on the other hand hasn't even packed or anything. I know.

Well I might blog from Macworld. It depends on if the lines are long and if they still have those computers. I haven't been in a while so I am not sure. We are leaving home at 6 or something. Our flight leaves at 9 something from Long Beach so we have to make sure to get there with enough time to go through the crazy security!

Man I have been in a Bad Religion mood for a couple days now and now I want to go to a concert. Not necessarily Bad Religion (but it would be better if it was) but anyone who's ticket prices are reasonable. I think I am going to look at House of Blues right now. Man that Bad Religion concert was so much fun too! Ahhh...memories.

Well San Francisco in less than a week. Planned where I wanted to go but then I found out the thrift stores are on the other side of the 101 freeway, which apparently isn't a good area to be going alone. So I am going to have to cross out the thrift stores. Its ok though because I want to go to this boutique thats on Haight Street and my dad says they sell alot of hippie things there which I am looking for so I am set. I guess I will just have more time in China Town and MacWorld.

Then school starts. I am actually not dreading the start of school. I have a pretty good schedule this semester. No track so its going to be weird for them having meets and I won't be competing. I still plan to go watch though. See how they do. I am probably going to red shirt so I have to find out all the rules and stuff because I talked to my dad about it and we have totally different views of what we think red shirting is. So I must make sure.

I have been cleaning the garage. Well one side anyways so that we can move the Nova out of the garage. Man do we have alot of junk in there. I am almost done, only been working on it for two days, on the worst side. THe other side wont take long, but then I have to clean on top and inside the car. Oh well at least I am working for my future car. I already got a hula girl for the dash. Oh yah I have it all planned out. Surf and beach thats the theme.
