so these past few weeks have been pretty hectic. turn of the quarter and new classes and stuff have happened and such. but my birthday is in two weeks in which my friends are planning a birthday bash for me and a group of other people who have birthdays around april/may. (any excuse to have a party). for sure it should be lots of fun. anywho, a quiz and two midterms and a paper to write next week and then i can relax and maybe do some laundry or maybe a dance party.

2006-02-23T23:24:00.000-08:00

Today i got to see monkeys!!! actual monkeys, with fur and tails and jumping around and climbing on stuff and everything, it was really cool. I also got to do bagging, meaning i picked a monkey fetus and its assorted "tissues" out of a bucket and into a bag and then heat seal it in formalin, it was pretty awesome, if i do say so.i had to wear crazy protective gear (PPE..'personal protection equipment') that included a lab coat, disposible sleeves, double gloves, a surgical mask and a face shield. all this on top of working in the fume hood...crazy. we also saw the trailer, where they store all of the bagged tissues and fetuses where we saw literally thousands of monkey fetuses....and a few human ones...which we dont quite know why there were in there...but o well. then i went to bio....yay for me for going to class, taught my section of Bis 98....today i taught them about meiosis...(sex is a good thing) ..then ran into a friend who convinced me to go downtown, get ice cream and shop...but i got a cool sweater and awesome new green shoes....they make me happy, ok! went home, took a nap despite my roomate's really annoying base, woke up somehow and dragged my carcass to physics dl, endured the 2 and a half hour torture, home for an hour, and then McDonalds with elio....yay. and that brings us up to right now, as i am sitting on elio's couch, posting on my blog. (i know im cool) so yea. thats pretty much all for now, if you read this, why not humor me and post a comment, i'll give you a cookie...

anyways, i should be writing my bio lab report due tomorrow and then i was surfing the internet and then i looking at all the spring collections shown at new york's fashion week and stuff, and then i was surfing the channels on tv and found the lindsey lohan version of the parent trap which makes me cry and stuff, and so im eating popcorn on my couch, watching the parent trap, looking at my unfinished lab report and daydreaming about a july when i'll be in london and stuff, sipping coffee at a little cafe and reading shakespeare and writing a couple of papers and stuff. o man, im such a sap. o well.

What to do...

2006-01-21T13:41:00.000-08:00

So yes, i havent posted in awhile so i am behind. I have been really busy this past week, with labs and school, my bio section and getting shots.....again. this time i was supposed to get another 3 shots (flu, typhoid and Hep A) but lucky for me, the syringe broke on the Hep A shot (after she had stuck me) and squirted Hep A everywhere, and mostly on me.....thanks for that. So she had to give me a second Hep A shot. Then (my arms hurting) i went to turn in my Health Clearance paperwork to the study abroad office so that i can enroll in the Shakespeare program in London this summer (whoohooo). Then i had to get my passport photos and finally turned in everything. So now i am officially enrolled in my program for this summer (im going for the whole month of july) and am super excited about that. My lab internship is also going well, i got to fill up the liquid nitrogen tanks on friday and take out the biohazard trash again (yay). I bought Ali G yesterday, and so have given into the mass hysteria, but i cant help it, its just so damn funny. Im cooking food for homeless people tomorrow (for Pre-med AMSA) so thats cool, and tonight is a party that i was invited to. but first i have to clean up my room and do some work. (O chem and Bio of course....maybe some physics...maybe) and stuff like that. anyways, everything is going well, if only my love life would be as on track as everything else.....sighs....o well.

The quest for med school

2006-01-07T12:44:00.000-08:00

So here i am, in my sophomore year, and im already worried about medical school. whats wrong with people these days, its always about the next level, the next step. when will i be done, when will i be where ive been trying to get? in high school it was about getting good grades, taking ap classes, doing extra-cirricular activities, playing sports, or an insturment, volunteering, and whatnot just to get into college. and now that youre in college, its about doing even better in your classes, getting a difficult degree and still doing exta-cirricular activties so that medical or graduate school will consider your ass for their programs. sighs. so im a bio major, interning at a prestigious lab, and a recent member of the pre-med amsa.. goody, maybe some medical school will see how fricken hard ive been working and accept me...in two years. sighs. (and i plan to join The Voice, next year, which is the undergraduate health journal, a monthly publication.) yipee.....i just hope i pass my classes.

TB, or Not TB....

2006-01-05T10:24:00.000-08:00

Well its official....i dont have tuberculosis, what a surprise. anyways went to give my paperwork to the lab and am planned to be 'processed' tomorrow meaning i have to go in and watch some videos, get my picture taken and sign some procedural stuff. its starting, im so excited! this lab and this opportunity are everything that ive been hoping for and im so excited to be a part of it. so today, i dont have anything to do until 1, then i have bio and then another couple of hours until i have physics at 7. but today will be a breeze, beacuse first lab is just introducing yourself and saying what major youre in and all of that first day bullshit. so thats good. i'll be done by 7:20 tonight at the latest. cant decided whether or not i should go swimming tonight since i went yesterday, i might give my body a bit of a break and just do my crunches and other such stuff tonight instead. yeah, as you can see, im kinda bored. but one more day until the weekend, which should be awesome, beacuse everyone's back at school and such. anyways. gotta go get something to eat, beacuse im hungry. later.

2006-01-03T12:05:00.000-08:00

so today i had my first endeavor at the UCD health center. and what fun it was. so i got my appointment yesterday and so today at nine i went and checked in, then proceeded to have three shots (yes three, one right after the other after another) i had tetnus/diptheria, measles/mumps/rubella, and of course, my all time favorite: tuberculosis. what a joy. but it doesnt end there, then i was sent down to the lab for them to sick me yet again and draw a vial of blood. whoot. but good news, thats over and done with, have to go back on thursday for them to "read" my TB test and tell me i dont have tuberculosis and then turn in my paperwork to the lab so im finally achieve "primate clearance" which is soo cool. so yeah, got that done with and then went to the book store to get my books for next quarter, luckily all i needed to pick up was my bio books and lab manual and the new physics course notes, and a notebook, which still seemed to be like 120 dollars, damn bookstore. anyways then i deposited my christmas check from my grandma and went grocery shopping! yay, now i have food to eat but all i want to do is crawl into a ball and sleep for 9 hours. anyways im going to drink some gatorade and take a fat nap and hope my arm doesnt fall off. laters.

Hello all, im at home in the old LG as we call it, having a blast since i got home from St. Louis. So it goes like this, took my finals, drove home and hung out with some friends and went to a party which was over by 11:30, but not without a dose of drunken drama. good times. then i went to st louis to witness my sister finish grad school with her pHD, whooot, now there are 2 Dr. Richards in my family. (soon to be 3 hopefully...) got my flight delayed 3 fucking hours on the way home, but finally made it home in time to see a friend of mine. Then i had some crazy adventures and witnessed a friend of mine skydive.....crazy. And now i get to plan a rockin' new years eve party and wrap presents...cause its christmas eve...yay. so to everyone that reads this, i hope you have a very happy and satisfying holiday!

Ok, its like 2:30 on thursday afternoon. in 24 hours i will be at home, hopefully asleep and not worrying about classes anymore. but between now and then i have to cram lots of information into my brain that has not edged its way in there throughout the quarter...i have a calculus midterm in an hour and a half.....then physics review session for an hour, then its back home to cram for o chem and physics. Tomorow i get to wake up and take physics at 8 and then o chem at 10:30. but then im done. for the quarter. yay. so right now instead of studying for calc, im writing this beacuse no more will fit into my brain about partial fractions and improper integrals and simpson's rule. yeah, did i mention calculus doesnt like me?? but o chem hates me more, so wish me luck and pray that i dont combust before i get all my finals done with.

Then its time to head home, yay for 2 hour drives, then on sunday we leave for St. Louis to watch my sister's defense and then back home to get lots of presents and eat lots of food and see my friends...yay. and hopefully i get that lab job in there too, that would be a nice christmas present. ok, back to calc before the rape storm begins.

Thursday night in Davis...

2005-12-09T19:18:00.000-08:00

So yesterday was glorious, i had my LAST physics lab, my LAST o chem lecture...and my LAST bio lab. Wanting to celebrate my good fortune, i went home and took a nap. yay. Then i woke up, planning on playing on the internet, maybe doing some homework, watching some tv and studying for my physics quiz that i had at 9 on friday morning. Certainly nothing amazing or crazy, just a normal night. Then i get an IM from my friend elio who needs a ride so that he can write his research paper that was due today. Sure, no problem. So after i have dinner, i go and get elio and drive him to where he needs to go. As im driving him, hes telling me about this party that hes been invited too, and im sitting there thinking...wow i have nothing to do, that would be cool to go to a party for awhile. i say this out loud...he looks at me and says "do you want to go" and there was no looking back. I imagined that since he had a paper due, either we wouldnt go, or at least not for very long. So we end up going to this crazy little hotel party where there are like 20-30 people, and i walk in wearing elio's handcuffs on my beltloop and everyone is like...HI ERIN...and i knew it was going to be a fun night. So we end up doing some shots of tequila and rum...then we played this crazy card game in which i had to drink even more...needless to say i was pretty gone. Then i made some drunken calls, found myself handcuffed to various people and places. hung out and had a conversation about orgasms and whatnot. Then Elio and i got home somehow (i for sure didnt drive) and then made more calls to random poeple. then passed out only to be rudely awakened at later beacuse i had class at 9 and then had to ride the bus, beacuse my car was somewhere downtown. Got myself up and somehow to class on time to take my quiz. I even went to bio and calc today. came home and went back to sleep.....what a day.

2005-12-07T20:05:00.000-08:00

Today i had a breakdown about finals. Next week, only the strong survive. and im going to fail all of them and get b's in all of my classes and ruin my already shitty gpa. but then i went home and took a nap, realized that i only had two more days of class and got some coffee after o chem, and am doing better. now i just need to scavenge for something to eat, do my physics for tomorrow, study for my bio lab practical tomorrow (i know the orders for subphylum hexapoda...arent i special) and then o chem reading (yay for NMR spectroscopy.....icky) yeah. i know how to get an alcohol from a ketone and vice versa, whoohoo. Then i should sleep beacuse im starting to get a sore throat....im not even going to say it. but yea. but i went shopping yesterday and made some jewelry, so that means it was a good day.

Tomorrow i have my lab interview at the Primate Research Center and i really hope they like me beacuse this lab job is soo awesome. Anyways, im just in a super good mood even though i just spilled peach juice on my papers...damn. And ive been pumping myself of vitamin C, so that plus placebo means no getting sick for erin....awesome. Yup yup. Bio studying and O chem reading and physics crap to do. so until later, when the caffine high commands me to post again. i must say farewell. (i know youre reading this......HA, gotcha)

So instead of studying, ive been playing with my music and doing some research and have concluded that i was going post, for you listening/reading pleasure, music that i recomend that you might have not heard about but should check out becacuse its good.

Erin's Quasi-Underground, not so mainstream music choices: (in no particular order)

* Nine Black Alps (band from britan, kinda more rock than brit pop, but still really good)
Tracks of Note: Cosmopolitan, Not Everyone, Unsatisfied, Southern Cross

* She Wants Revenge (Sounds kinda like Interpol, with a little more upbeat melody)
Tracks of Note: Tear You Apart, I Dont Want to Fall In Love, Red Flags and Long Nights

* Autolux (recent find, kinda mellow)
Tracks of Note: Here Comes Everybody

* Kasabian (brit pop at some of its finest)
Tracks of Note: Club Foot, Lost Souls Forever (L.S.F.), Reason is Treason

* Franz Ferdinand (duh..if you know me at all, this is a must...brit pop at its very finest)
Tracks of Note: Take Me Out, Do You Want To, This Boy, Come On Home, 40'

* The Dandy Warhols (also a recent find, very dynamic with mellow songs and really cool upbeat songs do yourself a favor and check them out...theyre just awesome)
Tracks of Note: Bohemian Like You, We Used to be Friends, Holding Me Up, Sleep

* The Subways (another recent find, more rock, but still catchy)
Tracks of Note: Rock & Roll Queen, No Heart No Soul, Take Me Away

* Kaiser Chiefs (sounds like Ramones, with modern spin)
Tracks of Note: Everyday I Love You Less and Less, I Predict a Riot, Modern Way

* The Dead 60's (Kinda like rock with reggae overtures)
Tracks of Note: Riot Radio, Loaded Gun, Just Another Love Song

* The Bravery (Band from New York, apparently involved in rivalry with The Killers, sounds like The Killers and Franz Ferdinand)
Tracks of Note: Honest Mistake, Tyrant, Unconditional, Fearless

Awesome weekend

2005-12-04T20:53:00.000-08:00

This weekend was awesome. Despite getting over food posioning from earlier this week, im able to eat regular food again. Friday was pretty uneventful, but sat. was something else due to an old friend of mine. Went to a really chill party which of course was made all the more fun considering the amount of vodka consumed. Now i just have to get my ass in gear for finals and hope that i dont get sick...cough cough....damn. Anyways, i should do some reading before i pass out for the night.

Finally! After one of the crappiest weeks in the world (food posioning, horrible classes, ect. ect.) tonight it all changed. So today, after being stuck in bio lab until 4:30 (ouch) i walked to my car and it was raining and windy and cold, not so much fun. went home, checked my email and low and behold, the research lab that i sought out a lab job in at the very beginning of the quarter emailed me back to set up an interview for next week! im so excited, i had thought they just blew me off, but no, they want an interview. so im excited. and its almost friday! o man. this weekend should be good. and then only one more week, finals and then im done with this quarter! thats also very happy. sighs. ok now i have to study for my calc midterm and my physics quiz and o chem and bio and stuff. but im still in a good mood. yay. plus i think i can eat more food now, which is good beacuse food posioning really sucks ass.

So yeah, yesterday was a normal day...went to bio, went to the silo, got a bagel and cream cheese, went to calculus and then afterword felt kinda sick. went home and within 20 minutes was feeling really sick. but did it end there, no, i continued feeling disgusting until about 8 that night when i finally threw up. im thinking what did i eat today...the bagel and cream cheese. but did the torture end there..no, i had another couple of bouts of vomiting, the last taking place around 4 in the morning in which i had to literally crawl to the bathroom. fun stuff. today, i got up...or at least tried and realized that i had a massive headache and still felt a little sick, but since there was nothing left in my stomach to dispose of, there was no more throwing up. i sent an email to my physics ta telling him that i couldnt attend class and then slept for most of the day. i havent really eaten anything in over 24 hours except water and finally now can eat a few crackers. fun stuff. but house is on tonight, so thats good.

Crazy Thanksgiving Weekend....

2005-11-27T17:14:00.000-08:00

wow, this weekend was nuts. first and foremost my parents were really chill and there was no tension no arguing and no stress. nice. there was lots of pie. hanging out with friends, some of which i havent hung out with in a long time. crazy episode with the cops (first time ive ever been pulled over) and nothing happened (yay for cool cops) and me going on a date! how exciting. anyways it was crazy fun and really good to have no class to worry about for a few days, eat lots of food and spend time with family and friends. good times.

these last two days have been hell, absolute hell. since sunday i have wanted to do nothing other than to curl up into a ball and die. o chem was a bitch, which i have now taken and have utterly failed, but at least i dont have to worry about it until after break. i got my bio midterm back today, 75% which isnt so bad, but getting an A will be extremely difficult now. sighs. i have learned, that my ex is a complete asshole, which is always fun to know about and im really NOT looking forward to going home for thanksgiving so that my mom can call me tramp for getting my nose pierced and stupid beacuse my grades arent good enough. when will the torture end? ugh. but there is a silver lining. my friend comes back from australia next week and hopefully will come visit next weekend, so an excuse to live it up and get some fun into my life where is is desperately needed.

The o chem, it haunts me. ah well. to make up for the craziness of me getting up at 10 and working out yesterday i got up at 1:45 today and had cookie dough for breakfast....it all evens out in the end right. today i feel like not doing anything. bleh, but i have a lot of work to do. my crazy roomates are sooo loud and the put smelly stuff in the trash and refuse to take it out. argh. and then they complain about my stuff that's molding in the refrigerator when they are making the entire apartment smell like the streets of japan. sighs, its times like these when i wish i could speak cantonese. i went in my hot tub for the first time since ive moved into my apartment! it was awesome. yup. so now that ive woken up, played on myspace, facebook and posted on my blog, i guess theres nothing left to do but actually do some work. oh dont worry, i'll find a way to procrastinate even more. argh. i just want an actual break. i cant wait until the end of wednesday when i finally get to head on home for the rest of the week and the weekend. then its back to school, take a lab practical, calc midterm and physics quiz until the next weekend. joyous.

2005-11-19T12:31:00.000-08:00

Today something crazy happened. I got up at 10:20 and actually went swimming. i know, on the weekends im usually never up before noon and dont do anything that productive until much later or not at all. now i think, after playing on the internet for an hour, (doing you know, facebook, email and myspace..) i will do some o chem, shower, have lunch, more o chem and so forth. this is the first non-crazy weekend in awhile and im looking forward to getting my o chem exam DONE with, then i can go home and actually enjoy my thanksgiving break. then i get to come back and take my bio lab practical, a physics quiz and another calc midterm. sighs. at least i get a visitor after thats all done, so im pretty stoked about that. i hope my o chem goes well, i really need to amp it up so that i can pretend that im smart enough for med school. bleh, hopefully this thanksgiving will not be as stressful and seeing the parents wont cause too much tension. i wish at times like these that i wasnt the baby and there were other siblings in the house so that i didnt draw at much attention when i dont need it. i wish my parents just had a little fucking faith in me sometimes. o well, i need to get on my studies. wish my luck.

today....starbucks has proven to me that it should not exist. i wanted a coffee, you know, nothing complicated just a tall white chocolate mocha (which are really good) and that was it. three dollars and ten cents for this supremely unassuming cup of coffee. anyways i had to wait like 10 minutes for this god forsaken coffee and when i finally get it...the cup is like a third full....yes, i was ripped off 2/3 cup of my fucking coffee....i payed them three dollars and 10 cents for about dollars worth of fucking coffee.... and to add insult to injury...they spelled my name a-a-r-o-n........fuckers.

so yes, here is another post, catagloging the days of erin's life. the weekend was overall good with a few snags, had a good time in sc for the most part. this week has been hectic. midterm on monday, spats with exes, swimming and trying to study for o chem (which is really hard to do). But i talked with a friend yesterday until 5 in the morning and it was really cool beacuse i havent seen him in a year and havent really hung out with him since high school. but hopefully he'll visit davis and that would be super cool. anyways. im hungry, so im going to eat this sandwhich now, and then read o chem..ie take a nap.

Yay! i finally got my pictures from halloween (which was crazy awesome) so maybe now some people who shall remain nameless (coughrachelcoughcough) will finally get to see them. Anyways, i went swimming tonight for the first time in a while, and it felt really good. i love swimming and my goal for the next quarter is to start doing it a lot more. there isnt really a lot of exercise that i like doing or that once i do i feel like i can do it forever. thats why swimming is just awesome. anyways. House is on tonight. alas, i must study for a calc midterm tomorrow and do reading for my bio midterm on monday (which im going to get an A on dammnit) and yeah. good news: no school on friday and prospects of having a good weekend. so well see.

my weekend was saved, thank god. by my friends and other such things. i got to wear my awesome stripper boots again to a pirate party and it was really good. hopefully now i can get my ass into gear and do my work. i have to read sooo much bio. who cares about phylum playtehelminthes? i dont even like worms...ugh. anyways. things have calmed down with the parents some, even though my mom thinks im a whore who is too dumb to get into med school. but thats ok, cause shes wrong. at least i get to see her face when the family sees my nose piercing at thanksgiving. HA. that will be good times.

why do parents have to be so difficult? honestly i dont see why it has to be so hard. My mother always is complaining about how i am secretive and that i intentionally keep stuff from her. So when i got my nose pierced i thought i would be a good daughter and tell her the truth about something in my life, rather than to hide it from her or shock her when i showed up at home. but no, she wanted to freak out and yell at me. i really am over trying to sneak stuff from her, i just want to her to get over it and deal with my being an adult and doing things that she probably not going to life, and just treat me like a fucking adult for once. christ!

Today was interesting. kinda boring. i got my nose pierced yesterday, which i think looks really cool. o chem test sucked, i thought it was easy, but i didnt really do that well. ah well, it happens. fucking science major. bleh. i really dont feel like doing anything, but i should do my physics and then read some o chem and look over my bio lab for tomorrow. sighs, tomorrow is a long day, starts at 8 and doesnt stop till 5. thank god its almost the end of the week. and three day weekend next week to look forward to. nice.

2005-10-30T17:47:00.000-08:00

alright, this weekend was officially the best weekend that ive had in a loooong time. Me and a couple of friends from davis went a took a trip down to Santa Cruz, meet up with some friends and had a really fun nightl. Then on Sat, a bunch of us headed up to Berkely and met up with some other people, we dressed up in our AWESOME halloween costumes (mine was a fairy) and headed out to SF and hung out with the masses on the Castro. It was awesome,, the costumes were crazy good and the drag queens looked quite authentic. We headed back to Santa Cruz and then left for davis after lunch. sighs, im so tired, but feeling awesome. what a weekend.

creation of the HOUSE drinking game.....what fun!

2005-10-23T13:41:00.000-07:00

yes so, anyways i was sitting at home on a saturday night and a friend and i decided to watch House (cause its awesome) and decided, hey..ive got this almost pristine handle of vodka, lets play a drinking game while watching House...(warning i shall not be held liable for any drunken or post drunken traumas caused by playing the House drinking game.)

You take a drink when:

1. House pops a vicodin
2. plays his gameboy/watches his soap
3. when wilson hangs out even when cancer is not there
4. somebody has a siezure

you take a shot/finish your drink when:

4. House makes sexual innuendo towards Cuddy
5. Foreman and/or Chase have to do bitch work (aka break into someones house)
6. Cameron has deep conversations in the lab

thats all we came up with last night (if you have any to add please share)...but that alone will get you pretty nice and toasted...cheers!

Today i realized one thing, getting up for classes is hard. last year, i had class almost every day at 9, and slept though my lectures all the time. i then had a class at 10 spring quarter and low and behold who could not get up for an 10:00 class....thats rights me. this year. i have a class at 11, and look who could not get up for class today.....boy. i hope i grow out of my bum stage soon. maybe i shouldnt stay up until 3 in the morning all the time.

Today was soo busy. first of all, i woke up with horrible cramps, so i started myself on a steady diet of advil and slept through bio (its ok the notes are online) then got up and went to math, met laura for lunch downtown, went back to campus and went to 0-chem discussion and then drove over to temple at 7 for the kol nidre service. it was really good but it was weird beacuse its the first high holy-days service that ive gone to by myself. it was a good experience. now i have to drug myself up, watch some House and do my physics. fun fun fun. and no food....damn.

Recently i have discovered the key to my happiness. its very simple all i need to make me happy, i just need to watch House, the tv show. it quite definately the greatest tv show ever created taped and aired. it makes me feel like im getting smarter just by watching it. therefore i can forgo any real homework beacuse i can say on my med school apps that i watched the entire series of House, and so they cant possibly deny me. but its just an awesome show. i would so do Hough Laurie, its just that good. watch it!

2005-09-29T08:57:00.000-07:00

today was the first day of class. despite not getting nearly enough sleep last night, i was still determined to start my first day of classes off right and such. i have class at 8, so i set my alarm for 6:30....i havent gotten up at 6:30 in two years. but i wanted time to shower and dress, make some coffee and breakfast and catch the bus....ohh the bus. Yes yes, erin you have a car, why on earth are you taking the bus. well its simple. my parking permit is available for pickup today, but i have to have it in my possession to park in the school lots. therefore, i couldnt drive my car to school. i could bike, but it was too early in the morning to bike, therefore the bus seemed a perfect solution to my commuting dillema. the bus comes at 7:41, gets at school by 7:50 and that leaves me 10 whole minutes to get to class. perfect. but alas, the bus was 10 minutes late, meaning that although i spent a considerable effort making sure i would get to class on time, i was...late. fuck physics, my TA and the fucking UC Davis bus system. now im going to nap until i can go pick up my parking permit and go to O-chem which im sure will be just as fun.

ok, today im sitting in bed, being totally lethargic and its sad beacuse tomorrow its back to the stress and craziness of school. part of me is glad beacuse then i have something to do instead of just moping around. but also im nervous about this year, beacuse its important and i know that i'll miss being able to sleep until 11:30 and then proceed with my day at leisure. but here we go, and me with my awesome cold that i got in North Carolina. weee. anyways, lets hope that things go my way and what i really want gets on track.

it begins...i have to pack for my trip down to san diego, yay for getting up at four in the morning, to help my brother in law move into his new apartment and get settled and then its the countdown until i move into my very own first apartment. i cant believe it has come so soon. im really excited to get back to davis, maybe then i can get my life back on track and not be so pathetic. goals for the coming year:
1) boost my gpa to a 3.5
2) sell some of my jewelry
3) learn how to blow glass (that would be so awesome)

perhaps there is still hope for me after all.....

Ok, since my blog has such dedicated readers (im sure) that would much appreciate an amusing post than my customary attempt at cataloging why my days are long, depressing and boring. So without further ado, i bring you:

INVALUABLE wisdom that I have learned over the past few weeks:

1) Never work at a bank: this will leave you with your personality sucked drier than if you visited Dracula's castle. (jason has just escaped)
2) st. louis is for lack of a better term, a shit-hole, avoid at all costs (visting family, schooling or building your street cred acceptable)
3) Always make playlists for your mood: happy, sad, reflective. Musicans know your emotions better than you do
4) Drink more coffe, the world always looks better on a caffine high, plus you get to look "sophisticated" beacuse you drink non-fat soy lattes and can act like everything is so blase
5) treasure the people and moments that make you happy, so you can think about them when you are experiencing and "in-between" moment
6) dont brag about being a minority that you are not, this is just regressive social behavior
7) dont exaggerate your accents to accessorize your personality, thats just weird
8) its a waste of your time to feel like youre ugly, someone out there definately wants to do you
9) dont call poeple when you are angry, its much better to step back from the situation and cool-off than to jump into a heated argument and damage things worse
10) dont radiate your gonads.....nuff said (unless you are looking for an unorthodox pathway to sterility)
11) dont judge stupid people so harshly, they will be weeded out of the gene pool eventually (possibly by the above method)

home.

2005-08-01T21:17:00.000-07:00

hey, home again. feeling as alone as ever, i wish someone would care to ask me how i am doing or stop to realize how close i am to falling. i guess i should stop being so selfish. alright.

chilling in st louis

2005-07-28T12:58:00.000-07:00

So im here, in Rachel's lab, talking to lab people and enjoying being away from the monotony of being at home, although im still knitting, its becoming more infrequent and seemingly back to normal. st. louis is fun, especially since i havent seen my sister since christmas. and its always nice to hang out with her when the parents arent around. so yeah, keeping busy and not as pre-occupied. people are nice and im having a good time, so yeah. back on sunday.

more of the same

2005-07-24T23:00:00.000-07:00

days of blah...

2005-07-19T12:01:00.000-07:00

What to say, what to say...

spending a lot of time listening to the thoughts in my head, not very good for me. starting to really want summer to be over, want to go back to school so that i can at least concern myself with mundane things like studying and classes, getting books and whatnot. trying to get a lab job for fall, hope that pulls through. have to contain the urge to throw tantrums and hit things, then i feel sad that im angry and then start crying again. part of this is lonliness and part of me doesnt want any company. ive finished three scarves in the past two days. i havent painted in forever, and harry potter made me cry. i just want to crawl into bed and not wake up until i feel better. parents bug me about sleeping late, but theres no insentive to get up early, beacuse that just means that i have to endure a greater part of the day. but most of all im just worried, whatever i feel or feel like doesnt matter. i just want everyone to be ok, maybe i should start going to bed early and reading more.

Summertime...

2005-06-28T14:20:00.000-07:00

So its summer, no more class or tests to worry about. that is, until next fall. summer should be relaxing, looking forward to a lot of good stuff and spending time with people that i havent gotten to spend as much time with as i would like. going to oregon for the weekend coming up and going to st. louis to visit my sister at the end of july, and to san diego in the middle of august with my dad to help my brother in law move. anyways, thats all for now, going to work on some art work that ive been neglecting.

lab, four hours of awesome chemical induced 10m ammonia, spilling shit on yourself and titrating, fun. or not so much fun. my birthday is in a week and a half. i got a really cute card from my sister and an awesome package of coffee, (yay for caffine). bio is cool, chem is stupid, math is vexing and mythology is fun and easy. two midterms down and two to go. hope that i can get through the week. hope that i get one very special birthday present that only one person can give me, but we will see. i am mentally tired and have to go through more stuff before i can rest. i hope i can do it.

Honey -almond delight

2005-04-04T16:44:00.000-07:00

Yay, today was the start of my first real week of the spring quarter! Today i had four classes (calc at 10; classics at 12, chem at 1; and bio at 3) it seems like a lot, but its pretty managable plus there are poeple i know in class to hang out with, so thats always a plus. Except there is this really really annoying and stupid girl that keeps turning up in ALL of my damned classes and she spends the whole period asking dumb and obnoxious questions. grr, i just want to slap her upside the head and tell her to get out of all of my classes (seriously calc and bio..give me a break). i have discovered the single greatest snack in the world! ok, so you take some whole almonds, not salted or cut or anything, just plain almonds (about 1.5 handfuls) -just figure it out, and add some honey and mix, eat it with a fork, cause its sticky enough. seriously, honey almond delight. thats what im going to call it. anyways its the single greatest snack in the world. so yeah. try it! Anyways, im excited cause dan is spending some of his spring break in Davis and we are going to see Queens of the Stone Age in SF, very cool. all is good.

bio...

2005-03-31T17:45:00.000-08:00

i had my first (real) bio class today, i dont think my dad's ramblings about kidneys count as bio classes (even if i do know that ad-renal means above the kidney) yay for me. dan got into berkeley today. i am very happy for him. rachel's blog isnt working properly, but if it was i would post comments on it. i am looking forward to the new harry potter book that will be out july 16 and stuff. feeling really drained, really out of place and not really sure what to do about it. o well, maybe some food will help.

not feel well

2005-03-19T18:32:00.000-08:00

why do i feel as though i cant control anything in my life? what can i do? nothing, just sit here and worry that i cant do anything about it.

do you ever just feel like you try to hard to accomplish something, put all of your effort into making sure something happens or doesnt happen and then someone else can get the same effect with just the blink of an eye. ive tried so hard, maybe im just not good enough.

success!

Finally, the laundry has been vanquished! now i just have to put all my clean laundry away..damn. O man, i have so much clean underwear, i don't even know what to do with it all. there is nothing like a nice pile of clean underwear to make your day....

brain dead...

2005-03-18T17:36:00.000-08:00

ahhhh, finally, no more hectic crap to worry about, (except my continuing laundry chronicles) soo tired, maybe i'll do my laundry after a nap....

what paper?

2005-03-18T14:43:00.000-08:00

bloody hell...i was sooo tired after my final yesterday and then worried and anxious about other stuff that i didnt start on my paper until 1 last night. which means i didnt go to bed until four this morning, shook myself out of bed to go sign my lease for my new apartment next year (number 222) and then back to work on this piece of crap paper. i should be revising it right now, since i have a little time before its due, but i just cant even look at the fucking thing. i just want to hibernate until i can go home and be with the people i really care about. but no, i must sit here (with a growing pile of dirty laundry) and pretend to give a shit about the notion of authority and faith and reason developed from the middle ages through the enlightenment. i which i could just end my paper with a PS: i hate this topic and dont believe in anything i just wrote in the previous 6 paragraphs, please give me an A. maybe i will...or not. my ocd forbids doing something so bold. ok, need to vent has been satisfied, back to voltaire....ugh
