After listening to "Don't look back in anger" I'm just coming down to the extremely frusterated level...

"And I regret to say that there were moments when my deep and loving pity for her merged into a desire to kick her fairly hard. For she is a girl who cannot walk her troubles off, or work them off; she is a girl to sit around and glare."

pg 72 I Capture the Castle.

A hand to hold...

THE DOCTOR:
There's a lot of things you need to get across this universe. (indicates) Warp drive... wormhole refractors...

Rose holds her hand out.

THE DOCTOR
You know the thing you need most of all? You need a hand to hold.

He notices Rose's outstretched hand and takes it, grinning.

David Tennant Singing and Eating Ice Cream

...Quite possibly the most entertaining 31 seconds of my life. (oh, to be an ice cream cone) I wish I could have caught Blackpool when it was airing.

Housing worries

I am so very very frusterated. Arugh. I should have gotten something from the housing office...but I haven't. It's been a week since they should have sent out our packets and I haven't received anything...I also haven't received any other messages besides 1 from possible roommates. Which gives me just an teency silver of hope that maybe no one else has gotten anything either. But then the one girl that did send me a message (that was on august 27th or something) said that she had gotten at least two pieces of mail from them since. And I have gotten zilch. So tomorrow I'm going to be calling the housing office and trying to speak as calmly as possible. And seriously hope that the U.S. postal service has not screwed me over...YET again.

Arugh. The worst part is that I can't do anything but stress out right now because it's 8:51pm and the office, sadly, is not open 24 hours a day. I wish there was a pressure release valve in my head...THAT would be awesome!

Plane

I feel like I've agreed to board a plane to an unknown destination, and now I'm secured in and awaiting takeoff. There's a bit of excitement that usually comes along with going on a plane ride, the possibilities of adventure in a new land, but there's also this anxiety that the plane could go crashing down in a fiery inferno 2 minutes after takeoff. Or it could be slow and painful as pieces of the plane fall off one by one and you fall from an even higher point into a fiery inferno.

Good Busy

Late Happy 4th of July..man. Saturday, Had a rousing success of a BBQ at ...the park across the street from the Berkeley Rose Garden...started with a C and was just unecessarily long. LoL Slightly confusing and bumpy start, but then everyone arrived and it was just an immense amount of fun :)

Great food, brought by everyone. We did some hiking, which really thrilled Elisa, and even some climbing...LoL that was definitely one of the funnier points of the day, I was laughing my butt off while Tiff and Elisa were coming up. So then dinner at Gerry's Grill, wasn't bad, we ordered some pretty good stuff, the grilled squid I could have done without, but watching Jeffery trying to eat the "head" was pretty funny. Ahhh and then surprising Tiffany with the cake. AWESOME. And she actually seemed genuinely surprised :) Very exciting :)

Then Tuesday I went to the A's game, where they won, yay!...but still it's baseball and wasn't all too interesting, but the fireworks at the end were really good :) And I got a malted ice cream :)

Wed, actual fourth of July, to satisfy Elisa's desire for a fireworks show and because Elisa plans super awesome random days :D and because fireworks are pretty cool [well the cube ones anyways] we went to San Francisco, to see them go off. Had dinner at North Beach Pizza out on Pier 39, really good pizza, pasta, eh. Then we walked down past Fisherman's Wharf to Ghiridelli Square and sat on one of the few remaining pieces of grass, still good seats :) Phillip joined us afterwards and since he hadn't eaten, we went to go find him something to eat, sadly, he had chosen the restaurant with the DECEIVINGLY short line, only about 12 people in front of us and it took over 45 minutes, it was just absurdly long and slow. *grr* Still got back in time for the fireworks and even had time to learn a new drinking game. That can still be played without alcohol :) Leaving that area was just madness though, a whole lot of cars just basically stopped everywhich way. Finally got out, dropped Phillip off at his place and then got back home at 1am or so...

Thursday, went to Six Flags..uhm discovery ....something? Marine World Africa USA. Whoo! ROTFL. :) With my mom and sister, went on a few rides, saw a few shows, had to wait in an absurdly long line because of absurdly slow attendees again. But other than that, a really good day. It was sunny, and like high 80's low 90's but a wind was passing through, so it wasn't unbearable. :)

Today, deal with everything in real life, i.e. making appointments to talk to biology advisors, fill out health form stuff to let the school know I'm not a leper...still have to get more shots probably...ah but overall very relaxing day at home WHOOT!
:)

Good times in Santa Cruz
