It is so friggin hot. I think this may be our punsihment for polluting the world. Shame on us...and now we roast. I don't like the heat. I'm not a fan of the heat not my cup of tea. I'm roasting and attempting to finish a paper. Not working out too well since I totally want to nap. And tomorrow is my first day back at voluteering. How nice, I'm going to go run around and scrape up rotting animal crap and food scraps in 85F degree weather. Oh well, I asked for it, hopefully it won't be too bad and the animals I work with on the string are from south eastern asia countries where they live in heat and humidity, I'm sure they don't mind LoL :) Aside from the bitterness, I'm excited to go back :)
Question of the Day:
I was listening to the radio and the DJ said she knew a butcher who is 5'11 and wears a size 13 shoe, what does he weigh?
I welcome all answers :)

Find your Center...
Breathe in....and out...in...and out....Yesterday something potentially highly detremential to the furterment of my educational career happened. I was told that they are taking appointments so students can sign up for the UC Santa Cruz transfer agreements, but they were no more appointments available. I was floored. Frusterated, shocked and upset I could not think straight and the only thing I heard was that I could go back at the end of August to make an appointment in September. But I was so fuming. I just left.
I was mad because I went the last two weeks of June asking when they were taking appointments, and she said to come back late July or early August, so going in yesterday, I thought I would be going in early. I was upset and fume-y and ranty for a long time yesterday. And then I calmed myself down and realized I was going to do all that I could, i.e. contact my councler and if nothing else, just go back at the end of August and see how things go. So I finally had reached my center and had calmed down a lot.
So today I went back to see the secretary and speak more rationally to her and realistically ask what I could do. It turns out that they didn't run out of TAA's and therefore were no longer taking appointments. They had run out of appointments because everyone else making TAA's for other schools had booked all of the appointments. You can start turning in the TAA'S for Santa Cruz on August 1, and they accept them until October, so if I have an appointment in September, then I should still be good. Other good news, Elisa has an appointment she may not need, if so, I could use it and get all of the done and over with. Good deal.
See now if I had calmed myself even earlier, i.e. after I got the news, I wouldn't have had to stress out all yesterday. But now I am feeling much more better and a lot less freaked out. and that's good.
OOOHMMMMMMM.

Pirates of the Caribbean, YAY.
Yesterday I went with Maria, Ben and Elisa to San Francisco, I guess a random shopping trip. I didn't buy anything, but a sourdough bread bowl, which I then proceeded to spill on myself three times...everytime i wear that brown shirt I always get food on it. oh well. Went all over the place, good fun though. Came back and went with Elisa (who cannot say no) to tapoica express in fremont cause she said she'd do her online test with this guy from her online class. Whose first question was, "so are we really going to do work?" YECH that's gross, and he was gross and he was wearing a google shirt which said something to the likes of "I'm feelin' lucky" or something, it was gross too. And then some black guy came in wanting some red drank and was wowed by the fishies. Ben also got owned by the eb games store in SF. Owned with glue and a spoon, but we found a lot of uses for it theorhetically. which is spelled wrong, but I am so stinkin' tired.
Then we went to see pirates of the caribbean at the old theater by New Park Mall which her friend got us in for free. YAY FREE! Then we got out at like 12:30am and then Elisa had to go wal mart to go and pick up some stuff for her mom...i hate walmart. why is there a line in that at 1:00am? tell me, it does not compute. So I get home and get to bed around 2:00am...ony to wake up at like 7:30am to see..dun dun dun pirates of the caribbean again. LoL
My dad got tickets to see pirates at 9:30am today (he bought the tickets on thursday and I didn't know I was going to see it on friday) so we went early got our free popcorn and soda :) and then I proceeded to watch Pirates for the third time. I've loved it each time. I thought there was a lot more action, love the giant hamster wheel things made of bones, the big water wheel thinge, just everything was awesome. period. I don't even know what to call them, the part sea creatures, part sailors. looked really good, dude with the brain stuck in the side of the ship, awesome. Looked like some senior citizens I've seen around san leandro... This one was a lot funnier too. LoL :) The ending frusterated me, only cause there wasn't really an ending...must wait a year for the third one. But I did like the twists in this one :) totally worth seeing three times.

So, this week has been a bit of a doozy. Friday, I was supposed to hang out with someone, but she flaked. Bit bummed cause I missed out on a good Vietnamese French lunch..but so goes life sometimes. I hung out with Elisa :) who also happened to be left to hang dry since no one called her back LoL. So we decided to go shopping, we went to Stoneridge and I found a b-day card for Tiff and Elisa found a jacket for her brother...just not in the size necessary. That size was in Emeryville. So! off to Emeryville. We picked up the sized jacket that was good for her brother, I found the final part to Tiffany's gift and Elisa tried on the most amazing pair of shoes...which she didn't buy :( But maybe one day, she will :) And ate at the Elephant Bar, muy bueno. although the food took a while. Sorry Elisa!!! Next time we will go to Hometown Buffet!!! you can get your mashed potatoes and fried chicken...
Saturday, also a bit of a bummer theme to it seeing as how everyone except for Benny and me bailed on Tiffany's birthday. Got to Tiffany's house at 11am or so, then she opened her gift, from me anyways :) Elisa came by to drop off her gift, which Tiffany then brought with her to the movies :D. And then we headed to Union City. Got there noon-ish, bought the tickets to the 1:40 showing, oddly enough saw my cousin in line LoL, then we went to go have burgers and fries at In N Out :D. Ate there and walked back at 1:00...good idea to buy tickets way early...bad idea not to get to the theater way early. LoL We had to wait in line to get in and we were near the end, but we got seats together and not way way in the back, I'd say they were good seats. I snuck in the left over french fries in my bag...which now has a nice "french fry scent" to it :D can't buy that at Kragen! LoL
Then, highly satisfied by the movie, we went back home :) I went to dinner for my Aunt's birthday where my family had a rousing discussion about my henna tattoo... apparently there's not much other news in the world. LoL
The school week was laaaaaame. Had a paper due on thursday..and the second midterm for anthro, and then I had 2 music tests on thursday also. I gave up reading the books, I forgot how enjoyable these classes are. I couldn't "forget the reading (or homework)" in calculus, chem or physics, although in music and anthro, I basically can and feel moderately confident after taking the exams. Music class is such a pushover though, dude, it's 50 multiple choice questions about 50% or so is not at all in the book or in the lectures. It is however in the previous edition of the book, which they don't sell anymore and why he still uses the tests for that book? cause he's too frickin lazy to make new ones. So it doesn't matter how much you read you still won't find half the answers in the book or lectures. This is why he gives copious amounts of extra credit....whatever, good thing this isn't a prerequisite for any other class, I'm pretty sure I'll get an A in this one. I just won't learn anything.
This weekend I'm going to see pirates again on saturday :) My dad bought tickets for a fundraiser and they were only $5 for the movie, popcorn and soda. I think they made a mistake on the tickets though cause it says "voucher valid for 32oz soda and 85oz popcorn" ...85 oz is approximately 5.3lbs...of popcorn. that's a lot. LoL
Then Sunday I'm getting an early birthday gift from my cousin. She bought tickets for me to go to this Chinese Acrobat thing at the Symphony Hall....and then monday again arugh. although since my music teacher is cutting out a week early, it'll be my last week of music class LoL...the dude is such a flake.
