It's a leap day!

I just figured out that the side bar said, “What’s on in Daria’s life” and I just fixed that early this morning. All this time I had no idea. I bet no one else did either. This page is under going some changes. I would have found a better skin but then I thought about making my own. There was a sweet and I was going to choose that one but it is so hard because it is not like choosing a Win amp skin. If I could do that easily then I could have had a few by now. I swear I discover stuff later than everyone else does. I am one-step behind in the trends.

I did choose one as you can see. I made a few modifications to it to my linking. It is just cute. Oh if you are wondering if it says pog yes it does. The person who made this is not fluent in English and I made all the spelling changes that I could. This is what I spent my day doing. Now I must go and write down a list of what I have to do tomorrow at school and figure out how I am going to get it all done within the short time I have before I have to go the car and fill it up with gas and then drive to CSM.

Too much She Spies?

Before I was awakened by a phone call at 10.37 a.m. and I was having this dream. Ok this is where the She Spies part comes into play. I was on one of their missions with them. I believe we were in some sort of room and then there were guns going off. I was shot in the left arm. We were to kill these look a-likes. The reason I am unsure of. The guns that we were given were like hangtag guns. Go figure this gets more and more interesting. We had to rush the look alike onto this simulated plane. I do not exactly know where they were before but the other two rushed everyone over.

It was just odd that I would dream up something like this. I mean who would ever put themselves into a TV show. Well afterwards I went back to sleep for a while longer or stayed up. I was not too pleased because I had a headache. Well I had one after I went to Target. I got my DVD and I go my wallet. I really was not looking for a wallet, but it is a lot easier finding room for a wallet than a purse.

So that ends my day. I ended up watching some funny video of my friend?s dog chasing a car. It is just hard for me to believe that the dog was lose from the gate. He is a big dog too.

Friday is here...

I have my bears! The 2002 Valentine’s Day bears! I just now need to get the Olympic ones and the blushing bears for this past Valentine’s Day. Day two of lent and I have not had any chocolate. At least if there were chips in the house I could eat that. Not being able to eat chocolate chip cookies is pure torture!

I guess I will work on my webpage of pictures today. I should look for a job too. If anyone has a job of filing please let me know. Back to work on looking for information on my paper due on March 15th and working on my webpage.

Thursday with all the weather elements minus snow...

After a somewhat interesting day of the weather, I decided to work on my paper. I had no idea how the database or whatever it is called would be difficult to work. When the professor showed me, it looked simple. I had to take a few minutes to find out what or how to work it. I know what you are thinking. You can read English and can speak English, but why would you have problems using a database? It is possible because of what you are looking for.

I did download a couple of articles in PDF format. Then afterwards I started to look at items on eBay. You know that place is great for some items that you cannot get or did not get at the store they were sold at. You can get things below the value of it if you play your cards right. The key is being patient, watching the listings everyday, and checking every couple of hours.

The weather played a major factor today. When it started to come down hard I thought it would hail. That was the first time but then the second time it started to rain hard it actually did hail. I thought if only it would snow now. Pickers cannot be choosers and so I settled for the hail. The sun did pop out every occasionally but I have yet to see a rainbow.

I then decided to work on my pictures page. I had no real luck because I am indecisive and because after making a few pages of the same thing you just have no opinions of what is good and what is bad. Therefore, I thought why not just work out how the design should be. I have an idea of what it should look like.

Well I am going to bed. I will figure out how I will make the picture page for all of you to see. I know some of you are wondering what did she do and when can I see it. That is just my wishful thinking that people actually read this page. If only this was more like Xanga and people could put feedback.

Drive home...

Once I left the nice warm library and headed off to the car, I had no idea what was in store. I arrived at the car soaked and that was not fun. I start the car and head off to Rotten Robbie for gas. Sorry Valero, but in time of expensive gas you must go cheap. What was to happen was something else.

I was already somewhat soaked from walking to the car. I was then I the rain filling up. My credit card would not read and then when it did I pressed the most expensive gas. That wasted about two minutes. Then I do it the right button and it starts to come down. I hide in the car because there is nothing else I can do without an umbrella.

I leave from the gas station thinking I have to arrive to CSM (College of San Mateo) to pick up everyone. I had no idea I would be driving in some crazy weather. I mean at least it was bright out and I could somewhat make out the car in front of me who does not have their headlights on. The rain came down bad at time. I have no idea why people would pass others just because they are driving cautiously when visibility is like zero-ish.

I arrived just in time to CSM to pick everyone up. I open the truck but forget to unlock the door. At least it was not raining. I would end up driving and almost getting into an accident. I guess if you rear end someone it would be your fault. Yeah I almost did that a few times in the morning as well while driving to school. Well the car in front of me was a disabled person. I had no idea that the lights were out at Holloway. San Francisco State University has their classes canceled.

So accidents were avoided and yes I did drive safe and never did get up to 80 M.P.H. today and I should not have either. Today is the first day of Lent. I have decided to give up chocolate for a month. I made it through day one. How many left now?

A wet and wild drive...

My drive to school only started when I left from San Mateo. I had no idea what I was in store for at around Woodside. There was a car that hit the metal divide I think and the car was wrecked bad. When this happens there are those that rubber neck causing me to be in stop and go type of traffic. That was not the worst of it because when I was almost at school there was no way I would figure that traffic would be extremely slow.
I did arrive to school at about 9.00 a.m. which I am not too pleased about. I made it to class late, but I made it. I should have mentioned to the professor that I was coming from San Francisco but every time I forget to mention that to her. Well I did get credit for the homework and that was just what I needed. After class had ended (9.45 a.m.) you can imagine what I did next. I headed off to the library. I am soaking wet, well not too wet, but wet. I had to make a half circle around to the other entrance because for some reason the one that is on campus was closed off.

I went to return the DVDs and the VCD first before looking for the items that I had on reserve. I only found one item. I believe it is their idea of a joke when it is self-service. I wonder if someone actually saw it on the shelf and took it. Oh well. I also regret not bringing an umbrella to school with me. I thought that the winds would be out of control which they were but only on the freeway.

An eary morning knock at the door...

I was awakened this morning by a knock at my door. My only response was what day is today. I think proceeded to sleep until half past noon, which I needed since I had lack of sleep last night. I woke up not hungry but with a headache. That was not pleasant but treatable with a little bit of caffeine. Thank goodness for instant milk tea.

I spent the day watching TV or what I had left of the day after waking up at noon. I then tried to work on my webpage of pictures because I do want to change it. I did however not get to my homework assignment, which is due tomorrow. I am going to work on it and watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy at the same time. Yes, I know I have homework that will be checked by the professor tomorrow and it counts as participation so I have to do it. I do not raise my hand in class so this I must do. If the midterm results are, ready tomorrow I will be shocked and scared to find out what I will be receiving.

Tomorrow is supposed to be stormy with winds and some rain. I just drive carefully to and from school. I better get started now and check on my one load of laundry that I have in the washer. I did mange to do a load last night as well so I have one more left to do. One day at a time is how I take the laundry. One load at a time is how I do my laundry.

Midterm!

As you can guess, I had my midterm today. It was less painful than I thought. I had a decent understanding of the topic that we were being tested on. I was happy about that unlike my last midterm when I took this class where it went from prehistoric to some time in Egypt.

I then finished the midterm in the middle I suppose which is good. When I get the results, I just wish that I would get the pass or fail for the exam and that takes off the pressure of knowing the grade. Actually, it should be great job or try again.

I took some great pictures today of clouds. I am starting obsess about clouds and the sky. I even wanted to cloud watch today but it was just one big cloud in the sky. I went for a walk and took a few interesting pictures otherwise they somewhat look the same to me. I thought they might have been different but I will let you judge when I get them up.

I am upset about the car windshield. Some car’s tire picked up a rock and it went flying towards my windshield and made me freak out. It was on the passenger’s side and it was only a slight chip. I am guessing it is from all the rain and the rocks. I had better head to bed because my eyes are droopy so good night!

Sunday study day...

As the weekend is ending, I find myself studying for my midterm tomorrow. It has taken me almost all weekend to finally start studying. I am reminded of by the quote of “Procrastination, hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now” on a poster, that is not the case for me. There is another one of “When in need of guidance, just remember: WWAD What Would Asians Do?” depending on what kind of Asian you are you would have started as soon as possible or if you are anything like me the day before with a little on the day of when you received the study guide.

Normally at this time if I had not taped She Spies (which is good and I was going to watch it when they had it on NBC a couple of years ago because it seemed interesting) because it is hilarious sometimes. The episode today is funny! I got quite a few laughs from it. I can tell you what time it is one on in the Bay Area. It is on NBC11 or channel 3 at 1.00 a.m. after Saturday Night Live. Of course, if that is too late for you, you can catch it again on Sunday at 4.00 p.m.

This show is interesting. Think Charlie’s Angels but not as long. The shows of the 2003 – 2004 season would have to be that I have found funny are Miss Match, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, She Spies, and the Simpsons. Of course, you have to watch Friends, Will & Grace, Scrubs, and 7th Heaven. 7th Heaven is a good family show. I am a meticulous TV watcher so what I watch is usually good. However, some might not agree with me but these are just my opinions.

When you hear news about marriage...

You hear these words, “Oh so and so is getting married.” What runs through you mind? For me it is what is the groom’s name? In most cases, I have forgotten if I have met them only a few times. Then I have to wonder what I will be doing before the wedding. Will I be a part of the wedding party as in, in the actual wedding as a bridesmaid? On the other hand, will I just be another nameless face as one of the guests?

I received the news that my cousin is getting married tonight. My reaction is of course I get another red envelope this coming Chinese New Year. Ok not exactly what everyone thinks of when someone gets married but maybe it is I. I have no job and with the job market as it is right now I am going to have to sell myself. I look at Chinese New Year as the time of the year when I am paid for all my hard work. I think of it as a reward of some sort. I might have to take up the Hong Kong way of thinking by buying new clothes etc. for the New Year. Because it is a new year and everyone is always trying to start fresh.

Well I had better get back to studying for my midterm. Wish me luck everyone! I will be giving it my all even though it is multiple choice and always go with your first answer right because if you second-guess yourself you might end up getting it wrong when you has the answer right.

Oo... oo wo oh? yeah eh yeah

There's something 'bout the way
You looked at me
Made me think for a moment that
Maybe we were meant to be
Living our lives separately
And It's strange that things change when I've been wanting you so desperately

Oh, I cannot ignore it,
I keep giving in,
But I should know better
'Cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me
And it's strange that things change when I've been wanting you so desperately

You looked my way, you said "you frustrate me"
Like you're thinking of lines and times when you and I were you and me
You took our chance out on the street
Well you missed my chance and chances are
It won't be coming back to me

Oh, I cannot ignore it,
I keep giving in,
But I should know better
'Cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me
And it's strange that things change when I've been wanting you so desperately
So desperately... ho

Oh, I cannot ignore it,
I keep giving in,
But I should know better
'Cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me
And it's strange that things change when I've been wanting you so desperately
I want you so desperately, oo oo oo

I keep giving in,
But I should know better
I keep giving in,
But I should know better
So desperately
I want you so desperately

A diiferent Saturday...

I thought I would wake up and start to study. That did not happen. Actually, that did not happen all day. I think the closest I came to studying was looking at the book. Tomorrow I will have to spend the whole day memorizing and looking at the book. I should actually read the book and or the chapters a few times. I know if I read it more than once I am bound to remember something. I wonder if taking notes helps but in the past, I have and I do not think it is for me.

I also did get my Magic 8 Ball and now I can ask and get all the answers I need to know. Can life get any better than a Magic 8 Ball? I know I could have something else from my past that I could not own before, but too bad K*B toys do not have a lot left because they are going out of business.

Studying...

I have started to study for my midterm on Monday. I know I am far from being at least a “B” on the midterm but at least it is multiple choice. I really want to work on my webpage but I am restraining from doing so. I am sitting and watching the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy mini marathon. I love this one with Josh D. who has Jesus in his bathroom. That is funny. Guys take a little lesson from Jai and how to do that move! Girls will love it! =) back to studying for my midterm on Monday. If it rains I will have major problems. Look for the link to my webpage next month!

Oh after the midterm I will be working on my paper that is due on March 15th Monday. It is roughly two or three pages long with notes. A controversial paper which I can see myself at SFSU working on it with my laptop minus the internet access which is a pain in the rear and even if I had a wireless network card I would not be able to access it anyway because I am not a student. Look for me at the library on the weekends. If I was at the public library at least I could have internet access however if I get all the internet stuff done at home then at the library I can focus on books. I really do need a plan for this. Got suggestions?

Strange day...

I woke up not feeling to super. I tried to get started on studying but ended up just watching TV and realizing that I did not have one of the terms on the study guide. I did try to fix my computer but that did not happen.

I did make a wonderful discovery with Photoshop. I can make thumbnails fast and ever resize pictures, which cuts my time down by a lot! Woo hoo on my discovery on this feature with Photoshop. Watching William Hung was also, what I did too to see who this person is.

I filed for graduation...

I know my professor knows my name for sure now. That is somewhat scary but also good I suppose. I did ask her on terms that I did not know. She did tell me so that was nice of her to do so. Now it is up to me to study for my midterm. We had a surprise quiz today and I got a 66.7 %, which are 10 questions out of 15 right. I did better than I expected but still am disappointed and now know what I have to work on. Therefore, the information that I learned last semester is not carved into my brain. However, the word mastaba is for some odd reason because of Will & Grace. I have a feeling I know what she will ask on the exam but the terms are a little bit tricky. She might just want us to know Carbon-14 because it was used for the dating of prehistoric items.

San Jose State gets a bad rap for those that are part of a theft ring of credit cards. Now I bet I will get a double take if I wear my S.J.S.U. sweatshirt or if I apply for a job. I believe thank dreams can come true because if William Hung can make it to American Idol and get told off by Simon then I can try out too. Sure, I am tone deaf and cannot sing a note but at least I can get my five minutes of fame too.

Terrific Tuesday?

Last night I got the best sleep ever. I fell asleep watching the Mel Gibson interview. I woke up this morning at 8.00 a.m. to go back to sleep until noon which was very nice. I then decided to try to do some studying. I did not really succeed. I thought why not call the school just to make sure that I can file for graduation and not have to retake the class.

It became a good day except for the slamming of the cupboards by my downstairs neighbor. I will have to speak with him if he does it while I am trying to sleep. On the plus side, there is a new episode of Queer Eye and it was funny!

I loved it and I would have to say his twin brother looks better than he does. He should take a few tips from his brother. It was like the movie Twins with of course the California governor and Danny DeVito.

Manic Monday...

Yes, it was one of those Mondays. I left the house at 6.54 a.m. according to the clock in the car. I arrived at 7.44 a.m. that is the normal drive time for me from San Francisco to San Jose. When I was near the Cupertino area, a car had its rear backed into those yellow safety barrels. The car that was in front of me started to break for no reason. I am sure it was the driver rubber necking! Lucky it was a holiday and not many cars were out. It would have been disastrous.

I spoke to my professor about the midterm and about the paper that was due today. Hoping that I could at least watch the video, (I could not because it was part of the art department). She said I should have no problems writing a paper since I had her before, but who can remember when it was at least a year and a half ago?

When I was driving back, I saw cows. I really wish I could take a picture of them but that would be dangerous. However, while I was driving back I could feel the winds making the car sway a bit. To help it I do not thinking driving fast helps but it somewhat does against the wind.

I started to talk to others about my one somewhat passing grade in biology and if it would effect my graduation. Some said yes. The thought about not graduating and seeing it on the screen really stressed me out. I did make flash cards for me to study with. Some of the terms, I have no idea where they are from but I know I will find out on Wednesday.

A quiet Sunday...

I wake up and I want to do nothing. I know that is not possible but that was my wish. I decided to work on my pictures of my site. They are still not up but I am working on it slowly. I have made two pages with thumbnails on them but without the links. The project of mine will take days or even weeks. I should put it on hold until after my midterm that I have coming up on the 23rd.

I then decided to look at Macy’s and Nordstrom’s to see what is on sale. After all, it is president’s day weekend. I really wanted to go to the mall but then I decided against it and tried to work on my webpage.

Off to bed and hopefully I will start to study for my midterm that I have on Monday.

Earlier than I thought it was...

I woke up this morning thinking that I had slept for about 10 hours. I also thought it was 11 something in the morning. Next, I had no idea what to do. I just spent the day online looking at bids and what not. Then I got this bright idea to rearrange my desk in my room. I changed it so that my desk was not right in front of the heater. I also had to find a spot for my file cabinet.

Therefore, I moved my desk over and my computer away from under the rolling table thing and my other rolling table thing away. That was a little bit easy moving and compared to Sunday. I of course ended up working or someone talked me into making a new website for my pictures. Well I suppose I could make one that is just dedicated to pictures.

I believe it will be easier if I just do it that way and not have the pictures at the same location. Who knows what I am going to do. I have no idea how to get started, this is relatively a challenge for me, and if I want to make this something, I do for a living it has to be good.

I also forgot today is Valentines Day. I spent it alone again. It can only get better from here right? Someone reassure me please! Last year at this time, I was in England and I really miss it. Not the cold though.

What I did today...

Have to get these because they are cool! Carpet skates! If they cleaned carpets then parents would just love these! I just spent the day organizing my bills that have been paid for and balancing my checkbook. I know that does not does not sound like a lot of fun but I have difficulty adding.

I need sleep!

Today is a rant and rave over lack of sleep. I swear sometimes that you get either too much or too little. I feel that I am getting just right but sometimes you just want to sleep more and you know you should not. I could use less sleep but I find that I am now going to bed later and later. Although I start to yawn, I do not sleep right away.

What should I do on this gloomy day? I could go for a walk but I would risk getting soaked by rain if there is a chance of it. I think I will stay home and do some filing. It is what I do best after all and plus I can just chalk it up to experience. Since it is almost tax time I think I better sort out all of the bills and what not.

It has been decided that is what I am going to do.

A little confusion...

Well it was not that funny but here it goes: I arrive in the building and into the classroom four minutes before class starts. Therefore, I was not late but I did power walk or walked my fastest and even ran to class. Once class ended, I headed off to Jamba Juice. I bought the Jamba Juice and then thought why not go for a checklist for graduation. I go and I get the run around. I mean I was at the right place, but was pushed around from one end of the desk to the other. I mean they did not know what they were doing and did not ask one another. I am glad I am graduating and do not have to deal with this anymore.

After getting the run around I head to the car. I was walking slowly and then I am on the block that the car is parked. I see a ticked. I pick it up and look at it. I check the make and the model and it was right. The only thing is the license plate did not match. I was thinking how could I get a ticket? Did I have to curb the tire on flat parking? Then I looked inside the car and realized it was not mine. I spent about three minutes at the car that I was mine. Did I forget to mention I had on sun glasses and so everything looks almost the same?

I am finally at the car. I get in and start it and head to the gas station. I fill it up and see that the price of gas has gone up since I last filled it up last week. I arrive at school (CSM) early. I thought why not get out the camera and take a couple of pictures of scenery. I never get the chance.

I forgot to mention while driving I tried to take pictures of cows and horses. No luck but I did get sky.

Disturbing the tenant...

I think the title pretty much says it all. I was cleaning the vacuum cleaner bag less part and trying to get rid of the dust. That required me banging the filter on the sink. I wanted to get that all off because it was just disgusting. He thought that someone was knocking on his door.

I did mange to get a load of laundry done but I have at least one more to do. Is there some sort of gnome that multiplies it? Well I did get that done and I did clean up my room or the front of my room just in time for guests. I was glad I did that. I had my clothes in the front of my room in my laundry basket.

I went out for dinner tonight. I cannot believe how a ten year old does not know the difference between ethnicities. He even wondered how my Cantonese could be so good. It is thanks to lots of hours watching soap operas.

I picked up my laundry but at least I do not have to fold it yet! Yay! Because although I have room in my drawer it is almost time to go to sleep so I cannot fold it. tomorrow is school and now I have to I sleep. My room is now messy and I am not going to clean it up.

When grandparents take over your life?

After coming back from Hong Kong and having the words that my grandmother said, ?next time you come back it will be with someone right?? I told her yes with my brother. I know what she was getting at. Just because my uncle?s children have, a significant other does not mean I have to.

My grandmother wants me to either get a boyfriend OR just bring someone back with me next time. The funny thing is that when I said next time I meant it could be as fast as May or December. Well if I get a job it will not be that fast. So let me hope I get a job.

This is a bit of a dilemma since I have neither a good friend nor a boyfriend to take along. See if I had a good friend then I can just say outsmart my grandmother please for me. To make it a little more difficult she said that they have to know how to speak Cantonese. Now where am I going to find a person like that? I mean I can always bring anyone and then have him fake it. She said no what is the polite way of saying it, no non-Cantonese speakers.

What do I do now? The way I see it I should go to a tarot card reader place only after being inspired by a TVB series Ups and Downs in the Sea of Love. I highly recommend it.

Was it something I ate?

This morning I had a cup of Milk Tea and some cake. The cake is the one with the cream in the middle and or some fruit that is rolled up. Well then, something went horribly wrong because I had the worse stomachache in the world! I finally felt better after waking up from more sleep. I am never having those two things for breakfast again.

Well I then muster up the energy to type my professor an e-mail saying I am not feeling well and would like to know the topic that will be covered in class. She said, “…as I mentioned the first day of class, it's your responsibility to make friends with someone in class to get the notes and any assignments.” Those were her exact words, I did pay attention in class that first day, and I never heard her say it.

I was going to move my desk and stuff in my room but I do not want to risk getting a stomachache and then be in bed another day. Ok now I am just hoping and praying that my textbook comes today or tomorrow so I can start reading and highlighting stuff.

I might take a walk to cheer me up and enjoy the sun or head over to my high school to take pictures of it. I always wanted to do that. Nah that is too far of a walk so I think I will just walk up to look at the view of the city instead.

Cleaning and more cleaning with some moving...

I decided to clean my room. I already got rid of some stuff in my room and just put it into the guest room. Yeah if I can keep it in another room then that is what I did. I got rid of my stereo speaker box and my monitor box. My room does look a bit cleaner.

I have still to move my desk and hope my computer behaves. Stereo is back and working the one speaker and the FM wire is plugged in. The desk is next and a load or two of laundry still to be done. I did organize my shoes. Ok that is sad. I mean I took the time to write on the box which shoe was in the box. I now might be one of those that go to the extreme in matching shoes with my outfits.

I have to find more plastic something to put my stuff that is out into them and then have them for display. At least the item itself will not collect dust and all I have t do is change the plastic from time to time or just vacuum it.

I never knew I had so much junk in my room. I still have to clean up my room. That is just so sad. The front of my room is still messy.

Fair...

I went to the fair. There was not a lot to see. It is definitely different compared to the ones that I went to in Hong Kong. I walked about and pretty much saw the same things. Nothing really caught my eye. You know when you are looking for the perfect something for yourself just as a little treat, you do not find it, and it is a disappointment.

I came home to have a little something to eat. When I was done, I decided to clean the car. It needed it. There was a spot of pigeon poop and if you do not clean it, it will eat the paint on your car. I also just took a bucket of water and a sponge and gave the car a quick sponge bath. I also cleaned the spots on the carpets inside the car. I mean I had thought it was horrible looking. Sure, the car is about eight years old now, but you know it still is a car.

After cleaning and checking to see if my brother was ready we headed off to Mervyn’s to return a pair of jeans. Someone thought it was cute to put a library receipt in between the pants making it look as if it was the actual receipt. I did not find that out until I was in line ready to return it. Then I looked at the receipt and it was not even on my card.

Then it was off to Office Max. Ok let me tell you now I cannot park the car into the slots that are straight because I cannot. Am I getting old if I cannot stay up past 1.00 a.m.?

What I did today...

I woke up then I decided to make lunch. I also cleaned up the videos we have outside and figured that we are still missing Ace Ventura Pet Detective. I found There’s Something About Mary. I thought that was lost but I found it. I tied to clean up my room but I did not. The closest I came to was cleaning out my closet of clothes that I have had since high school maybe even middle school.

I made a new site! Well it is mostly of pictures of my vacation but at least they are up. There are zipped files but those are videos of some strange stuff. I do not really know what I put up. There are just some pictures of the sky. I always wanted to take pictures of the sky and now I get to without wasting film. A digital camera is the best!

Good Friends...

After Friends was done I really wanted to sleep. Actually before that I wanted to sleep. Am I getting old before my time? I feel like sleeping before 8.00 p.m. If you are reading this then you are probably laughing. I did one more load of laundry today. The clothes are still in the dryer but you know I will get around to it.
I better just wash up and then go to sleep. I only finished knitting a scarf for myself and washed that as well. It only took me ages to learn how to end it properly. I forgot with the internet you can find anything. Ironic it isn’t it? Well good night.

Tired...

It is defiantly that time of the year again. I am ready to start fresh but something always makes it difficult. Today was ok. My second day of school and I got my books. I had no idea books were this expensive. It has really been a while since I have bought books.

It is about time for me to go to sleep. My eyes are drooping and I should stay regular in terms of bed time. No reason to go back to being a vampire and since I read something about sleep or needing it is better for me to sleep. The other fact is that I wake up early anyway and so if I do not get great sleep I will be miserable.

3.00 a.m. wake up...

Yup I seem to wake up earlier for no reason. I tried to go back to sleep but I cannot. It is quite difficult. I woke up and made lunch. I then proceeded to look for a job and then found myself watching a soap opera. I think I might have a cold. I doubt I recovered from the one in Hong Kong. Nope I do not have SARS. I caught a cold in the morning because of the difference in temperature from under your nice warm blanket and outside your blanket.

Well I suppose I should go and pick up the laundry that is sitting in the dryer. I better fold it and put it away. I should probably download the pictures that I have on my camera so that I can start with a fresh and clean memory card.

One load of laundry...

So far I have one load done and another on the wash. I think it is time to pick up the dried stuff and replace it with the wet ones. I refrain from doing another load. I believe two is enough for one day, now have to fold clothes. I suppose I should get rid of the clothes that I will not or hardly wear anymore. It is only just taking up space in my closet.

On the drive to school there was lots of road kill. Not pleasant and there were accidents while I was driving back to pick up my brother. I believe I am not adjusting too well to the time change. I am yawning and heading to bed earlier. I did stay up late on Saturday night. I still have to wonder how that happened.

Day one of school...

It is the first day of school and how did I do? Not that bad. I have made a great investment on a digital camera. Why you may ask? Well art history the professor said that we would only be using the textbook as a reference. The pictures or images we will be shown will not be in the book so I can always just take a picture of it and then record the stuff with my notebook.

I ordered my textbooks on Sunday and I thought I could pick them up and even with an e-mail saying I can pick them up I am not able to. I will try again on Wednesday. Well at least I can return one of the books that I bought because I found it at the library, which means it is free as apposed to paying.

I am currently in the process of doing about three to four loads of laundry. I have one done and about three more? I lose track easily and now that I have school I will revert to my old ways of lazy laundry. I should really learn or figure out a way to put away different season clothing. I better e-mail my cousin about the accident on 19th avenue before going onto 280 south before I forget. I will have laundry updates.

Late wake up...

I woke up late and went to be late. I believe it was about 3.00 a.m. I did not get to do any laundry and I am going to have tons of fun with that over the next few weeks or days depending on my laziness. Tomorrow is the first day of school for me and I am defiantly not looking forward to it. One more class and then I can graduate. I should probably order my book online.

Well time to get well rested for tomorrow and I know I will be waking up early.
