I've done a buttload of stuff

Okay so I left off at Saturday? of last week...right. Well Sunday I took off of volunteering cause I was dead tired and I didn't wake up until NOON WHOOO! :D I mostly slept and did general nondescript stuff.

8/15 Monday: so yeah my sister and mom went to the A's game [with fireworks that we heard from our campsite]. and they won or something, so anyways, every ticket from that game is worth one free personal pan pizza. :) so I went with my sister to get some free munchies...I forgot what else I did, but that may have been it LoL OH yeah and also I went to the school bookstore to have an aneurism over how expensive my chem and math book was. Chem is still expensive :( gah $150 and it's new and in a bundle so I can't find it online and there are no used ones GAH! but THANK YOU CHARLIE who will never read this cause he never goes on line but yes I am jacking his book and saving 130 dollars WHOO :D

8/16 Tuesday not real interesting besides the fact that I went to the eye dr. ...which kinda sucked cause I just wanted to sit in my PJ's in my bed all day. but oh well such is life. Although news is good and I do not have to get a stronger prescription for my glasses, which is the first time ever since I've been going there since like...8th grade. Anywhoo so yeah, that's good news :)

8/17 Wednesday The magnificant Chrissy got her driver's license and so she drove Janice, Kyle, Maria and I to the Sandwitchery where we all had lunch together :) Yesh, I had a BLT. why do I pay for those things I can so make one myself that is just as good...LoL oh well it was tasty there too. We had some good conversation during lunch too, a lot revolving around how maria's mom is the master rapper. and items on the "to do list" :D Then Chrissy had to go home [I honestly can't remember if we did anything in between LoL so I have a sucky memory, but yeah] So she drove home and Kyle drove maria, janice and I to pick up pictures at Wolf Camera in san lorenzo. The pictures looked so good :D maria is awesome

8/18 Thursday ...secret planning for "Project Maria" but it involved a buttload of walking, and no more knocking of my toe-covers, they are awesome and prevent blistering. but I did not have them, so I blistered. :( and it also involved a lot of SCREW SOUTHLAND. cause IT SUCKS

8/19 Friday I went to Napa Valley with my aunt and my sister. We went there to go eat lunch at this restaurant called "Mustards" and they've got the most awesome pork chop ever. my aunt ordered it and I got their halibut, which was PERFECTLY done, and that's a major feat since halibut is SUPER lean so it over cooks SO fast :( but there it was really well done :) and they had good bread too :D

Then we went to the CIA [Culinary Institute of America NOT the Central Intelligence Agency] just to see if they had any dinner reservations open , we didn't expect them to cause it's a really popular place and stuff, but actually they did, it was a little early at 5:30...but eh we took it anyways :) Then we walked around the gift shop and there's a little display area and they have these MASSIVE like 8 foot high vintage wine barrels and old school corkscrews and stuff. And there was also a gift shop where they had a bunch of cooking tools and books and stuff, and I bought part of Charlie's and Janice's gift there :D hee hee :) Just when you think you've seen everything, ...there's something else. :)

Then off to DEAN & DELUCA I was excited :D I bought a t-shirt and a mug :D and some tea to go in the mug of course! and my sister bought a 4 pound pound-cake. ugh. LoL it was tasty though. So yeah, after walking through and looking at all the gourmet stuff there, we left to go to the Napa Valley outlets. They are sad. :( it's just one like building area [as opposed to the vacaville or gilroy ones which are like 4 building areas], and it only took us and hour to go through all the stores. ...so yeah, we drove right back cause throughout the valley there is like ONE ROAD 2 lanes, and that' about it. so if someone goes slow, EVERYONE goes slow. :( so we left early to get to the restaurant on time. We did and so we got olives and bread quite good :) good stuff. Then my aunt ordered clams and my sister ordered this Asian crab melon salad for starters :) they were both really good :) for our main course I got this brick roasted chicken. which was SO GOOD. it was so juicy and tender and tasty, OMG. super good, it was like half a chicken, and I only ate a drumstick LoL I was still kinda full from lunch :) but yeah, my sisiter got seared scallops :) which was really good :) and my aunt got skirt steak, and it was really good too, marinated just enough and not stringy and tough like it normally is :) for dessert we ordered a chocolate molten lava cake, it's one of those cakes where you cut it open and the inside oozes OMG. I've never had one before, but even though I don't like chocolate it was good. The carmel sauce on top was like super duper too. :D

On the way home, we got a little lost because aparently that day they JUST opened a new onramp..with no signs saying what it was gah, so we ended up going into vallejo and a sobriety test, ugh. the line was hella long and inefficient, but on the up side, I did get to view "Bud's Burgers" made famous by maria :D LoL most awesome! I was so slow too, cause I was just reading random signs, we were rolling at a snails pace past it and I was like huh..."Bud's 'Gigantic' Burgers" and then my aunt mentioned the Goldielocks by it and i was like "OMG BUD'S AND GOLDIELOCKS THAT'S THE BUD'S BURGERS!" lol but maria that place looked SO GREAZY! :( LoL :) and tasty!
so that was my crazy friday.

8/20 Saturday not much happened, but I had to go get my books for Monday :( boo. I took my mom's car cause it was parked behind mine :( but DOOD! aparently on saturday's chabot has this fleamarket thingie and i.e. NO PARKING. they take up the whole main lot and so I had to park way in the cuts and walk so far YECH! oh well, I bought my chem book but they didn't have the lab manual :( oh well I bought it later on monday anyways. I also made a side stop by Target cause that was the last day of their weekly sale and that week the Killers CD Limited Edition CD was on sale for 9.98 :D yay for sales! I'm so glad I held out LoL but no more buying stuff, I spent 30 dollars at Dean and Delucas and then I got 2 cd's for gifts LoL I need no more stuff LoL

spent the rest of the day chilling and relaxing being a bum. LoL that night though Tiff and Benny came by and dropped off my gift :D which is the set of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books which I have zipped half way through the first one already :D you guys are awesome! we had a good chat and found out what was in my downstairs cabinets LoL which included Backstreet Boys and random posessed birds and dogs that don't hop. LoL

8/21 Sunday: I went back to volunteering at the zoo and overall it was apretty dull day LoL Although I did see James Keith! who works there and so we had a little chat in the morning :) and we went our ways, then later OMG the siamang apes...well they went ape. LoL they were "singing" it was SO BIZARRE! they were like a hairy black ape version of the blue man group! three of them, one of them was doing this low bass throaty noise, one was hooting and the other was hollering. it was so crazy LoL :) and LOUD I could feel my ears like pounding inside that little nighthouse, if the walls weren't made of cement, they would have been pulsating LoL, it was such a surreal experince. :D very cool moment of the day.

8/22 Monday: first day of school...again, It didn't even feel like it cause I just got out of summer school. ugh. LoL :( but yeah, It was a good morning, I got there at 8 and still got a decent spot :) I met up with Maria and we found Elisa and Lawrence and then Charlie came too I even saw Michelle for a bit :) then I found my two other friends from Chem 31 and math and I saw with them in the Chem 1A class :) I hope all goes will in there! and then our teacher was on her way back from India? but will be there tomorrow, anywhoo so there was no class besides signing the roll sheet LoL :) then I got to chat with Judie for an hour and 15 minutes :)

Math is good, boy that instructor writes fast...but she seems really nice and seems to know her stuff, and has lots of office hours which are good :)

Physics, well if anything else the instructor knows his stuff and he seems randomly funny...I even talked to people I didn't know, which is like a huge step for my anti-social self LoL I hope that class goes well...

Overall, instructors seem alright...and I don't have class everday like I did summer so hopefully it won't be intense as that, and also I don't have 2 or 3 hour lectures WHOO! :D hopefully that'll make things better too. I just hope my book gets here, I don't another book drama LoL that will be no bueno...now I think my hands will fall off from typing so much so I shall stop here. seeing as how it's 7:45 and I started this at 6:45. LOL
