Halloween Picts

Happy Halloween! Random anicdote of the week, aparently it was some halloween day at the Zoo on sunday so all these kids came in dressed up in their costumes, (I'm not a fan of kids by any means) but I gotta say, there was this kid dressed up as Bob the Builder...spittin' image of him...just minaturized he had the whole overalls and everything, checkered shirt and yellow hard hat even me, who would rival luke (from gilmore girls) in anti-kid feelings had to laugh. LoL way too bizarre.
Sadly this halloween I shall be sitting at my desk doing my physics homework and chem lab. but at least I got come candy :) tootsie roll, I can't remember the last time I had one.. :)
Today also, physics was canceled :D WHOOT! It was a good thing I checked too, I just happened to look near the door in hope, as I usually do to no avail, for that coveted piece of paper declaring freedom, and today there was actually one! so I went to check it out and it was for our class. OMG. I did a happy dance. my friend was with me and thought I was a weirdo LoL but I talked to someone else shortly after from that class and told her it was canceled and she jumped for joy, literally, we both did....clearly it elicits similar effects LoL. so I got to go home right after math :D and then had enough time to wash my car, :) (which still has sap on it, if there are any suggestions on how to get it off please tell me :)

Here are some halloween picts I think Al sent to me a few years ago :) I thought I'd share with the rest of you all :) Click on the pictures for larger versions


















Now here are some treats :D

Map Stats

Before mapstats I never realized how many people visited my blog! ...and maybe it's all a crock and no one visits it, but they just put some random places down so I think people visit, but they really don't...but either way LoL if anyone actually sees this and reads it. and is not some I already know of (not that you're not important :D) leave a comment, make a mark, prove that it isn't a crock...and well I don't think anyone will, but the challenge is there none the less :)

...So I had a bad Day

Where is the moment we need at the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day


eh, so I had a bad day week, it's over now, I got through it like I'll get through life...and you can be sure I'll do it with a smile. A bitter, sarcastic, sadistic smile. ...but a smile none the less :) "Never forget to smile."

Whew.

Going to school is tough. And next term is only going to get worse. I should be doing my lab report..(I actually should have been doing it 27 minutes ago, but I feel like writing this first LoL) My physics presentation went well today...I totally had a meltdown last night. not good. Too many things due, that was like only a tiny part of it, my meltdown was more about the fact that this is basic stuff, general chem, intro to physics..not even the hard classes, if I can't deal with these basic ones, how am I going to deal when I have to take more difficult classes...or even past that, how am I going to function in the working world if I can't even figure out how to deal with these ones? I keep telling myself I have to get through it, and I do....but I'm running on fumes here, I wonder how everyone else is doing it?! Dude. besides seeing maria last week and going out to charlie's dinner a month or so ago...I haven't done anything fun since the end of august. no bueno. Work hard play hard right? ....so I played hard I guess senior year and the beginning at chabot...and now it's time to be working hard...and I guess that's why they called it "working" and "hard." because it is...that is no misnomer. heh (missgnomer) :D heh

I got my hw problems turned in, I have one lab done and one presentation done, and I have one more lab to do (for physics) and the my calc exam on friday...and then maybe next week won't be so bad...maybe...probably not. but maybe.

Oh so don't pay no mind
To my watering eyes
Must be something in the air
That I'm breathing
Yes'n I try to ignore
All this blood on the floor
It's just this heart on my sleeve that's a bleeding

Burn-Ray LaMontagne

But it did rain today :) I was happy, it was perfect, it was a heavy drizzle, so not enough to get you drenched, but still wet enough to seem like it was raining :D

Scouting Schools

I went to go check out UC Davis yesterday...OMG frigging early check-in thingie *grumble* I had to get up at friggin 5:45am to get to that school at like 7:30am or something. ugh. It was kinda helpful...they had a panel of transfer students who answered questions and stuff, that was really helpful, and I got to see inside a suit dorm there also..the rest of the stuff wasn't so helpful, there weren't a lot of brochures and stuff which UCSC had. It's a very different campus there.... I dunno I'm split 25/75 leaning towards santa cruz...there are pros and cons to both...

Music is good.

Music is good and physics is bad. Arugh I have not been this frusterated since 8th grade algebra...but then I wasn't even trying, I'm at least trying now...2 formal lab write-ups, 1 presentation on "anything related to energy" (and that's all the info he gave us), and 20 homework problems from the chapter all due this week. AAAAAH. (that's physics alone, not counting chem and calc crap too)

Music is good though. I heard that song...well i'm not sure the exact title, but something like "500 miles" "AND I WOULD WALK 500 MILES AND I WOULD WALK 500 MORE JUST TO BE THE MAN THAT WALKS A THOUSAND MILES TO FALL RIGHT AT YOUR DOOR/ BADA-BA BADA-BA BADA-BA" I shouted along to that song in the car today. :D Most awesome 90's Nooners... thank you for my smile today. :)

EEEEEEEEVERYBOOOODY HUUUUUUUUUUUUURTS soooometimes

Rock on REM. Rock on. Bill, Peter, Mike, ...Michael. *sniff*. thanks men. touching song.

Everybody Hurts

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)


...if you didn't find the half humor in this post...:( I probably shouldn't explain. You just have to hear it.

The Crazy's come out on Monday...

O.M.G. Crazies come out on MONDAYS. WHAT THE HECK?!

Well first, this was Maria's story, but there was people crapping, in the store...not like, a new hip hop fad type of thing, but literally crapping. like poop..."dropping off the kiddies at the pool" .... for more on that Poo Poo de Poop

Then well monday was sucking major chunky malls because I had a quiz in chem, not so bad, and then a bunch of stuff in math I didn't get happened and I was so tired from the weekend already. ...and then physics. I studied for physics, I tried...I tried and I thought I had it down...and then I took the quiz, three questions, worth 100pts. and I got 1 out of three right. (he gave us the answers right after so I'm sure I got one out of three right) ...and It sucks because okay the answers make sense, but when I was trying to do the problem, I just couldn't see it and it was so frusterating I was about to cry. ugh. and then he put up a list of all the stuff we had to do and turn in and I am just about to lose it I swear, I have so much crap due and I stuff I don't get...i.e. physics. and I just had the absolute crappiest day so far and I don't see things getting any better until final time..well after final time and I'm on my first vacation.

But then Maria called me up and she came over WHEE. As I repeated to her many many times, I haven't seen anyone in forever...I haven't seen everyone besides her since Charlie's birthday thing and so yes. We chatted, and then we went to go to the post office to get some post cards stamps. and then we went to Hallmark downtown to see if they had any...none. so then we went to Nations and Maria treated me to some pie, THANK YOU MARIA! to get some pie :D the apple in their apple pie was a bit mushy for my taste, but the banana cream was good :D
Then we headed over to Michaels and...crazy. Pod people work there, Maria asked if they sold postcards and this lady looked at her...CRAZY LIKE! like...she had a bit of a 'tude and was like "post cards? we don't sell post cards, we have invitations...on the back wall" ...and then...she was just insane ...everyone at that store was just like SO BIZARRO! it was so surreal. Dalí would have had a field day painting them...

As we were leaving Michaels, Maria was about to exit and there was this idiot woman who just drove straight in not even looking noticing that there was a car that was driving through! DAMN CRAZY PERSON! ...she was just driving eveything was her way! it was insane. ugh. lame stupid driver person..

and then we went to Target to go check if they had anything, and we found some good stuff on clearance :) and some stuff for scrapbooking and also notecards which..well they'll have to do as postcards LoL :) DUDE another crazy person! We were in the parking lot of the target and this chick, who was counting her money in the middle of the parking lot, was walking directly in front of Maria's car, not only directly in front, directly in front TOWARDS the car! ...dude then she finally looked up and gave a weird look, and then moved to the side...it didn't seem like she was startled. She was absurdly unphased by the fact that she was just walking towards a moving car....and didn't even notice it until it was like 5 feet in front of her....CRAZY PERSON

and THEN Maria was driving me home and there's construction on Lewelling right now and so at one point the two lanes going towards my house merge into one and so when there was one lane, there was this kid, in all black, black pants, and shirt and backpack on a cell phone, walking on the edge of construction on the left side! ...now that was alright for when the lane was only one, cause the cars stay to the right and everything, but eventually and not much farther than where he was, the street went back into two lanes..then like HE WOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRIGGIN STREET! What the heck?! crazy's come out at night! ...What was he thinking?! and then he'd be walking in the turn lane in the middle of the street, but there were quite a few cars going down lewelling and so it wasn't like he could easily walk to the other sidewalk...FRIGGIN CRAZIES!

...No wonder I haven't been outside the house in a while...friggin crazies come out at night.....

UCSC

soooooooooo On saturday I went to go to check out the UCSC campus....I don't have any real immediate bad things to say about it...I also don't have much to compare it to. It's fairly spread out, but they've got a good shuttle system going on, sadly it looks like I won't be able to take my car there...parking is exremely terrible...and expensive yech. :( People so far seem really nice, and they save apartment space for transfers (which is the same price but mucho nicer than the regular res.halls) ...Hilly...I was wheezing after like the first hill LoL ...uhm so so far it seems good..which is really good cause the worse thing would have been if I went and was like, for whatever reason, "this place is not for me..." then I don't know what I would do...probably go to Davis LoL but it definitely had a campy woodsy feel, which can be good, and they have some newer apartments there just built in 2000...anyways. so far it looks alright...I'm such a schizo LoL there are some days I'm like GIT ME OUTTA HERE! ...and other days it's like ugh. I don't wanna move LoL.

I'm gonna go check Davis out next week just to see...they're having a preview day also ...only it starts at like FRIGGIN 6-8AM geez is check in time...insane people over there.

What am I gonna do with my life..hum de dum.

Scheduling woe's

Woe is moi. I just checked the spring 2006 semister thingie and I'm gonna have a physics lab on Saturday Morning reguardless :( but if I plan it well, then I can have friday off again, which I haven't had in forever. So hopefully that'll work out...yeah.

Today math class was cancelled :D WHOOT HOOT. :D stoked about that :) and we "stumbled" upon some good luck today :) good luck for us some REALLY CRAPPY luck for others...my friend found some money on the parking lot today...We kept it, which probably wasn't so morally right...but really who would go to the "lost and found" (which i don't know where it is) and ask if anyone dropped off money?! so yeah...but I still feel bad for whoever lost it. :(

This saturday I'm gonna go visit UCSC for their "presentation day" basically an open house and so we're (my mom and sister and possibly my dad) and check out a tour and some workshops...I hope that all goes well :)

When Monday is Over Things Will be Good.

Whew, some weeks are those long weeks, and some weeks are those hard weeks and some weeks are those long and hard weeks...yeah. LoL I just can't wait until Monday, by then, hopefully I will have both of these physics labs done...omg. I just want to get them over with I wish they didn't have to be so indepth. I like chem lab reports LoL not much to it, she basically just wants to see that you did the lab, did the calculations and balanced the equations correctly whoo :)

Super sucky though that all this is this weekend cause would have really liked to go see the Blue Angels and that RedBull course thing...it looks really cool...I saw the blue angels a few years ago..Fleet Week is fun :) Maybe next year.

At first I was flipping out over all of this stuff...and work and stuff...eh but then like most things in life you just get used to it and deal...so I'm over the spastic phase (for the most part) and am in the "deal with it" phase LoL. someone needs to petition for a longer weekend 3 days would be nice :) ...or at least a holiday between Veterans Day and...Labor Day..Sept5-Nov11...way too long without a holiday LoL :)

Anyhoo...for everyone I haven't talked to in about a billion years...basically everyone...I'm still alive yep...just insanely loaded with homework and stuff LoL

As for Dino, he would have fallen with an acceleration of 68.42 meters per second per second. :)

Rant of the Week...eer day....eer..moment...yeah.

Dude. This is an assigned homework problem copied directly from my physics book,

Paleontologists estimate that if a Tyrannosaurus Rex were to trip and fall, it would have experienced a force of approximately 260,000 Newtons acting on its torso when it hit the ground. Assuming the torso has a mass of 3800Kg, (a) find the magnitude of the torso's upward acceleration as it comes to rest. (for comparison, humans lose consciousness with an acceleration of about 7g) (b) Assuming the torso is in free fall for a distance of 1.46m as it falls to the ground, how much time is required for the torso to cme to rest once it contacts the ground?

OMG. GEEZ who thinks of this stuff?! What Paleontologist figured this out, what a LOSER! ugh. seriously they need some more applicable stuff in these problems...I don't care how hard a T-Rex falls..1)THEY'RE EXTINCT. THEY NO LONGER TRIP AND FALL. THEY HAVE FALLEN! FOREVER Their heads are stuck between their legs and they have kissed their butt goodbye!!! and 2) DUDE! If you were to trip and fall, would you want it to be published in a book distributed internationally?! ....I think not....How embarrassing!

I think it's time for a break from physics homework. When....if I figure out the answer, I'll post it. Just ..had to rant...

*sigh* whew. LoL ...the only thing that would make this worse is if the TRex had jam hands....lol :D
