MOST awesome way to kick off the summer :)

Ack! So much done, so little time! :) I don't do anything for 5 months...and then I do a whole lotta something. This, I like. If this is any idication of the summer months to come, I think it'll be quite the fun, if not interesting, summer :)

So Thursday 5/24 last day of finals boy that one was a doozy...but all is done. Sigh of relief, not necessarily joy but relief at least :) Asked Chrissy if she wanted to go to lunch, but I was DE-NIED :(

Friday 5/25 Went to lunch with Tiffany! :) Good Mexican food and good talk, couldn't ask for anything better :) Good way to eaaaase into the beginning of summer break :)

Saturday 5/26 Didn't do anything for most of the day, was a freaking lazy bum LoL then I went out to Best Buy to go buy the James Morrison CD (which was one of the "best buys" of the year AH! geddit! LoL. and then I wanted to buy the new Plain White T's CD with the song Hey There Delilah, but they ran out ah friggin a. Oh well.

Then I get a random missed call from elisa...and a voice mail :) yay! so I gave it a listen...and well with such a persuasive voice message like that I couldn't not go :) so at around 5:00pm Elisa came over, Benny was supposed to come over as well, but apparently he had to help his cousin do something so he was late...either way he was "very very sorry" LoL so we forgave him. And then we embarked on our adventure :)

So when Benny came over we spent a little while decided on where to go, and then we just decided that Chuck E. Cheese in San Jose was definitely on the list so we'd go there, and figure out where to eat from there. Elisa and I both wanted Italian, so yay for trusty handy dandy GPS system, got to Chuck E. Cheese and then searched for italian restaurants around there. Okay, so after searching through 5 billion lame pizza places with lame pizza place names...I found Il Fornaio I told them it was good, a bit pricey, but not too bad. So we ended up going there. When we first got there, everyone was dressed up all nice. I had been to the one in Burlingame and I never dressed up...so that was a bit weird, and then when we told the hostess that we wanted a table for three she gave us the weirdest look...but we got seated anyways. We had a waiter who's great-grandfather donated the land on which UC Davis is built (totally random) LoL and who I thought looked like Biff (sp?) from back to the future, Elisa and Benny disagree, but they're probably right since I've only seen back to the future about 0.5 times. The waiter asked what we were doing after or if we were there for any special events...thinking that going to Chuck E Cheese was not an "event" we just said we were just eating and hanging out. Then we asked him what sort of events were going on and he was like oh 2 graduations, that convention, there was a music concert, symphony or opera (I forget) and the people next to us just came from a funeral.

As we were walking there, though there were a TON of people going to the convention center, and Benny was intrigued, I admit, I was intrigued as well once I saw two guys dressed up a Mario and Luigi LoL so we asked someone on the way and apparently there was an Anime convention that day at the convention center across the street. On our way out there were definitely a bunch of interesting costumes we passed :)

Then on the way to Chuck E. Cheese :) We got there at like 8 at night so there weren't too many kids around, although there were more than I thought there'd be that late. We played some ticket games, Elisa got some super good luck and hit the 150 on one of those "hit-the-button-to-make-it-stop-on-the-amount-of-tickets-you-want-to-get"..games. And we totally cheated on those smash the allegator games LoL And of course I had to play one of thse Skee ball games the first time I just totally sucked butt at it and then the second time I redeemed myself and found that I am infinitely better when using my left hand to throw, interestingly enough.

Then we went up stairs to play some arcade games, I'm terrible at those shooting games LoL We played a car racing game which I ended up in first place only because Benny's car malfunctioned at the start of the race and I drove Elisa off the road in the last lap LoL She was ahead of me for 7 of the 8 laps and then near the end I got close and "accidently" drove her off the road LoL :)

The last bit when we were counting I spotted a cup full of tickets...no one else seemed to be around and no one else claimed, so we took it and it was full of about 70 tickets :) Overall we made 250 tickets exactly. but OMG. freakin' a, there was a TON of people waiting in line at the prize desk and there were only 2 people. And it seemed like everyone ahead of us had like 25000 tickets to spend geez! So we spent like half an hour in that line alone, but we weren't going to waste our tickets since we probably weren't going to be going back. And so when we finally got up there, Elisa and Benny got cotton candy for 200 tickets and then I got 5 bracelets :) two of which glow in the dark :) awesome!

So then it was about 21:30 and then we went off to see Pirates of the Caribbean :) Yay again for the handy dandy GPS system :) which found us a movie theater, turns out there was a drive in theater right next to it, but it was a bit late for that...maybe some other time :) Anyways, yeah and we got there just in time for the last showing at 10:30. And we got student rates so it was only $8.50 :) I thought it was a pretty good movie, definitely didn't deserve the lashing it got from the critics, but oh well. A bit of a long movie...we got out 1:30am? or so...then benny drove back. But when we got out of the theater, we waited until the end of the credits to see the little movie clip at the end :) There was NOBODY left! The whole place was freaking empty, we didn't even see any employees ready to close up...just the lights on at the concessions! It was freaky like something in 28 Days.
Eventually got to sleep at 2:30am Oh well I knew it was nearly three hours when I agreed to go, and I also knew I had to get up at 6:45am the next morning too, but such is the price to pay for fun :) and Fun I did have.

Sunday 5/27 Rolled out of bed at 6:45am and spend the morning at the zoo, came home, showered, ate and napped yeaaaaaaaah :) And also found out that we're not going to be changing our starting time from 8:00 to 8:30 so early days only now *sniff*

Monday 5/28 Off to Davis :) Elisa came by at about 9:15am or so and we left for Davis :) We went to Benny's house because we were following him there, then we made a pit stop at 7-11 LoL :) And off we went, traffic wasn't bad at all and we got there at about 10:45am.

We went to eat at Fuji's which apparently everyone knows you have to line up at if you want to eat when the open....we got there at 10:45 and there were more than 70 people ahead of us and the restaurant doesn't even open till freaking 11:30! people were all serious with their fold out chairs and everything! So we waited in line, where Jeffery met us there, talked for a bit, had to pull all the freaking bugs out of our hair every 5 minutes, eventually we got up there. Definitely did not get in for the first seating, we put our name down and the dude told us to come back 20 or 30 minutes, so we walked around a bit. :) Went back, but they still weren't ready and so about an hour later we got seated, luckily at the bar though, cause then we didn't even have to get up to get the sushi. I definitely ate my fill, good sushi even more awesome oranges :D

Then we went back to Benny and Jeffery's place, hung out there for a bit, definitely a boy's apartment, both Elisa and I asked if there were any towels to dry your hands on after you wash them LoL no. :( Hung out for a bit, Watched some car race with a driver named "Farnbacher" but the way the announcer said it sounded like "Faanbaakah" Had a few laughs, then spent 10 minutes trying to convince the Katherine Heigl and Ashley Judd are two different people! LoL Then after messing with Elisa's foreign phone, we left Jeffery to "study."

We went to one of the transfer dorms, but couldn't get in because all the doors were locked, Elisa couldn't really see how they looked inside :( Then we went to the athletic center where Benny rented some ping-pong equipment and we played in the gym. Benny decided it's now pong ping ping pong LoL if the game of pong represents just the paddle sounds. ah it's a complicated conversation LoL After a while of ping pong, Benny suggested we try raquetball. Sounded like a good idea at the time.

It is so crazy, you're in this giant room two regular walls and two walls made of like bulletproof glass, high intensity, will not shatter stuff. and you have to hit the ball against the back wall and then the other person has to hit it, and all the while you have to run for you life trying not to get hit LoL yes. Not exacly the game for people wearing flip-flops, i.e. me. LoL Still a fun game for unathletic people like me though because you don't have to go chasing for the freaking ball and you just have to hit a wall :) so it was a lot of fun, but they seriously need to pump some more air conditioning in those rooms, it was so freaking hot by the end LoL

Then we went to get Jamba Juice to rehydrate :) and we also wandered through Borders for a bit as well :) Overall awesome weather, it was a little hot in the afternoon, but nothing unbearable :) 80 something in the shade :)

Then we picked Jeffery back up for dinner and we headed out to Cattlemans's for their Monday night special $1 beef ribs :) Elisa and I ate two each, and that was plenty for me, Jeffery ate three I think and Benny ate four. They were really good, tender and tasty :) And we split from there for the night :)

And

Tuesday 5/29 I went to a party like I had never been to before. But I think I'll write about that later because I think I'm getting carpool tunnel syndrome. ;)

Time to unwind

FREEEEEEEEEDOMMMMM :) Finally done with exams...doing well on 2 outta 4...well that's okay right? ...*calculates* wait..that's like 50%...maybe not so good, oh well as long as they're done. I'm just sorta mad because I had a bad case of test anxiety and totally freaked out on my first ochem one, I went home later that day and realized I screwed up on a bunch of stuff that I really did know. arugh. I just really want a B in that class, I got a B on my past exams and my labs and such...plllllllllease just lemme get through that with a B :)

I have no idea what to do with myself now though LoL I've been stressing and focusing all of my energy on that so far, I just am at a loss now LoL. mmm me thinkith it's time for a new hat. or at least to try and make a hat period. hm...

uhmmmmmm besides that I think I need to do some shopping and some definite unwinding is in order :)

HOT.

AYYYYYYYYE AYE AYE AYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I have a bio lab practical I should be studying for...but I am soooo not in the mood to study. I am just feeling so bummed, and it's like 80 degrees outside and I have to sit in classrooms all day. I just wish that school could be ooooverrrr. Although I'm not sure what I'd be doing instead...Probably interrupting Janice's or Chrissy's lives. Actually calling tiffany, since I now know that the fact she is constantly busy is actually a myth. So..after school lets maybe something fun...a movie. I haven't seen a movie in a while. Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End comes out the day after finals end...coincidence? I think not.

Oh well, back to studying monocot shoot monkey faces, and phloem sap yuuuuuum.

As they say, you can wish in one hand and crap in the other, and see which gets filled first. I'll give you three guesses.
