I'm pretty worried I'm not going to get in to any schools...I've applied to 11 places, so you should figure at least one will accept you. But things seem to be so competitive this year since the schools are receiving twice as many applications as they have in previous years. Hoping hoping hoping...

I like to pretend I'm tough and can do things on my own sometimes when really I'd just want you put your arm around me and show me you're there to pick me up if I ever need it. Today was an interesting day.

I got up at 6am this morning to write my physics lab for tomorrow. I went to breakfast and wrote about half the report from 7-1. I then went to office hours for my lab ta at 1, went to physics 105 discussion at 2, lab from 3-630, 7-930 physics 110 ta, and now I have to finish my lab due tomorrow as well as the 110 assignment for tomorrow. I'll be up all night. My dinner was a 75 cent bag of cheetos. I'M TIRED

It's hailing here right now- absolutely insane!!! I'm pretty sure I've never seen ice come out of the sky like that, and the addition of lightning and thunder makes it one pretty awesome afternoon.

My grandfather hasn't been doing so well since he came back from the philippines not too long ago. He's had trouble breathing and has been in the hospital twice in the last month, which has been pretty rough on my mom and the rest of the family. It was my cousin's 5th birthday today, so we went over to my grandparent's house out in norwalk, and it great getting to spend time with family I don't get to see very often. I saw a couple uncles I hadn't seen since I was 7 or 8. But I think the best part of the day was spending time with my grandfather- me feeding rice to the chickens they keep in the yard and him telling me i'm giving them too much, dressing him up in women's clothes my mom brought over for my grandmother, and then me trying to speak tagalog but failing most always- and it makes me happy to see him enjoying his day. My mother told me on the way home that my grandfather had told her I make him laugh and I make him happy. It's a good feeling knowing that I was able to make someone's day just a little bit better, and it was someone I've always really cared about and adored since I was little which made it awesomely awesome.

I just wanted to tell everyone who knows her as well as those who don't that andrea green is awesome. I love her. She feeds people horse cookies. Well- me- horse cookies. But she's an amazing person. And andrea, just wanted to let you know- although I'm sure you already do- I'm always here for you if you need to talk, I'm not really that far away. You'll just have to find someone else to torture with your "cakes and cookies" while I'm gone.

Today was a good day. It reminded me of how many people there are out there - family, friends, teachers, and random strangers - who believe in me. And it's nice because a lot of the time I have trouble believing in myself.
P.S. I went to go see the la brea tar pits out in beverly hills...so cool!!

I wanna see someone from ucla beat my time of seven minutes from the second floor of delta to the physics building. I need to catch up on sleep.

ah, it all ends now

So today was the last chemistry class, and seriously the chem professor was amazing. Every lecture I enjoyed, and I feel like I took a lot from the class. All the students gave him a long applause at the end of lecture. My friend Joy and I cried. The end.

P.S. Yay for finals...

we had a halloween night tonight..the halls were all dimly lit and some of our hallmates dressed up all scary and what not. A whole bunch of kids came over and we gave them candy :-) Kids are so adorable sometimes. I studied for two and a half hours straight with this girl michelle who's in math and astronomy with me, so that definitely burnt me out...but I didn't do much else today. Chem midterm was today...it was a toughy, but I think I did really well. Calc midterm tomorrow. Today was a good day overall, though busy; I laughed a whole lot about some pretty crazy things. And as gay as it sounds, I love watching the squirrels here. They make my day even better a lot of the time-

Meh, whateva

2005-10-23T03:57:36Z

Yeah, so I study on friday nights. I'm a nerd. Anything else new?

It rained a lot today. We had some pretty scary thunder and lightning last night, and I guess it hit somewhere by our dorms. I love being inside when it's raining, which is what I'm doing now. However, this happiness is being neutralized because of pain in my legs. My right leg is longer than the other due to the breaking of my ankle 7 years ago. And so it's grown to be a tad bit longer, though fortunately I don't think I'm growing anymore. But in any case, sometimes when I go running or I walk for a long period of time, where my pelvis connects to my thigh starts hurting pretty darn bad. So that's been my day today. Eh, life throws you some screwballs some of the time. Or some curves. Or some sliders.

But it was nice today because the air was very crisp and fresh; it reminded me of wonderful wintertime.. :-)

My brother came home this morning, which made me happy because I wanted to see him. We're all going out to dinner tonight, which should be fun, but I just don't know if the weather is right. Oh,I also got a haircut today, got some new bangs, crazy.

FIRE

2005-10-07T05:34:21Z

So there's been fire drills around campus all day; I think they covered all the buildings. So I was in the shower when delta's goes off. And I'm like "Oh cool." I was gonna put on a towel and run out cause the sound of the alarm was ear-piercing, but I was smart and threw on something, hair dripping wet, and left. My roommate left me :-(. But it was funny cause when we had our meeting with our RA before, he told us that sometimes when fire drills happen, people run out with a towel. Me and alexa laughed cause that wasn't going to happen to either of us, but of course, it had to happen to me. At least I wasn't in the middle of washing my hair, how traumatic would that have been? :-) No, it was an exciting experience... I love ucla--

So I just almost got hit by a car, which was cool. My roommate and I were walking back to the dorms from campus, and out comes a car going like 100 and he almost misses stopping at the stop sign. Well we're about to pass him, and his car is completely stopped. But then for some unknown reason, he takes his foot off the brake, puts it on the gas pedal and presses it right when I'm about a foot in front of his car. I was freaked out, so I jumped backwards really quickly, and kinda just in time, he puts his foot on the brake again. The passenger's window was open, and we could both see the driver, and they didn't say anything. They just kinda stared at us as we had the most surprised and somewhat perturbed look on our faces. It's ironic too cause my roommate and I talked about that situation earlier in the day when we saw many other cars driving 100 in a 45 zone on the outskirts of campus. Crazy people here at ucla, I don't know what's up, it's not like it's a monday and they have to hurry to get to class or something.
