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.

Job hunting...

I spent the day cleaning as I have the other days. Nothing but cleaning and I think I have to blame Full House for it. Danny Tanner. I did try to look for a job, but still no luck. I think I need a new computer. It is worse than before I formatted it.

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.
