So its Saturday and I am way too tired to function properly and I still need to workout, walk Ralph, and go out to dinner.

Yesterday's shopping trip was a success. I was up at 4:30am. Walked Ralph then got ready to hit Best Buy, grabbed everything I needed and proceeded to Fashion Valley before 7am. Shopped until 11am, came home, had lunch then worked out, walked Ralph again, took him to petco, gave him a bath, showered and went to Anna's, walked Ralph again. I fell asleep on the couch some time between 11pm and midnight.

Thursday before dinner at the Lam's, I went to the driving range with Kevin and Chris. I got sun burnt on my face and lips.

Tomorrow I'm supposed to hit the driving range with Aunty Kitty, Bobby, Chris and Tony. Then after that... Thanksgiving weekend will be gone, over and done with.

Its the big thanksgiving weekend! Woohoo. This week started off with a bang. On Sunday I adopted a 1 year old Chihauhau mix. His name is Ralph, after R. Lauren. He's been a handful of work so far, keeping me up all night. I had to sleep with him in my arms last night because every time I tried to leave him he would bark, yell, whine and cry. And as a result didn't get good sleep at all. He's like a baby. As a result I didn't get to study for my midterm on Monday. Luckily I have good memory and am pretty certain that I got 100%.



Well now, we're going to be on a heavy turkey diet this thanksgiving with all the dinners we're (me and chris) invited to.

Thursday, dinner at the Lams 24 ppl.
Friday, dinner at Anna's
Saturday, dinner at Henry and Lily's.

Black friday is coming up... aka the heaviest X-mas shopping day of the year.

Wednesday I found out that my favorite Cardio Kickbox instructor, Monica, is moving to Pheonix. Boo! I'm seriously going to miss her class. Her last class, sadly enough, is December 10th.

Yesterday after class I went to the driving range with my Aunt. Afterwards I went to Sofia's at the Hyatt where I met people from the Entreprenuerial Society and other Business and MBA candidates for networking. I went alone because I thought I should mingle. Good thing too because I had a great time.

Why I love Wednesdays the most. After a long day of school, I get to go to my spinning class immediately followed by cardio kickboxing then muscle toning! Then I get to come home and watch OC and have a tape of Smallville! Wednesdays are my favorite!! Cheers! Here is to the great night of sleep I am going to have and waking up to a beautiful Wednesday morning!

...
I was really cold today so I curled up in bed after I got home and took my shower. It was so nice. My bed is my favorite place in the winter. One great thing about life, naps.

From Dashboard Confessional - Saints and Sailors
"This is where I say I've had enough, no one should ever feel the way that I feel now. A walking open wound, a trophy display of bruises and I don't believe that I'm getting any better, any better. Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring and I'm thinking awful things and I'm pretty sure that few would notice."

Always there for me when I'm down, their music revives my soul.

I finally caught up on my Alias tapes. "What happened between us, everything, the way it is, isn't anyone's fault. Sydney. And even though everything has changed. Some things don't." (What Vaghn says to Sydney when he's helping her escape. From November 9th's Alias episode.)

Well, I'm gearing up for my new week.

OKay, so normally after a test you feel either, "oh shit, that was hard." or "what a peice of cake" or "it was fair." Now, I did a lot of last minute studying due to the exciting and eventful weekend I had. Though I pulled a cram this morning I felt very confident going into the midterm. Okay, so the test is very fair, pretty straight forward, easy. I like to take the full time to look over the questions to make sure I did everything correctly. There are two booklets, the blue book and the testbook. I worked all my answers in the bluebook and wrote the answers in the testbook. Time is up, I go up to hand in my test then I find out we are suppose to write the answer letters from the testbook next to our worked answers in our blue book, so I had to take my test back to my desk and frantically write the letters in. I hope I put them in the right places. I am confident I worked the problems correctly, so if I miss out on a technicality I'm going to be upset. So instead of going into the weekend happy about doing great on a test, there is a little linger of.... 'what if' in my mind. What if what if what if... (he can't read my writing, i did have to do it fast, i put the letters out of place) DAMN ~~this is what blogs are for, to vent, to worry, to frustrate~~

I was thinking of getting a hair cut this weekend but the place is booked until Dec 2nd. Guess it will give me time to contemplate exactly what I want to go with my hair.

Well, I'm off to the gym...

Wow, it has been a while. The fun began for me Friday morning. I woke up, headed out to Cardio-Kickbox at the ARC then worked out on my own afterwards. Came home, shower, relaxed, joined the gang for dinner at Golden State. That evening we watched Finding Nemo. Later that evening Chris came home from SB. Saturday I went to the driving range with Chris then when we got back joined part of the gang at my grandma's house. About 2 hours later we proceeded to the restaurant where the gang of 29 of us booked a room. After dinner we headed over to the Lams for a really fun family reunion kind of late night complete with laughs and fun. The next morning we had brunch at Golden State and then said bye to the non-Californians as they headed back to Arizona. Later that evening Lisa, Eric, Chris and myself went to Edwards Cinema to watch a late matinee showing of Matix Revolutions. It was okay. Anyhow, then it was back to school for me but the UC campus' got Tuesday off for Veterans day. What is up with that? I think we should have gotten the day off too. Anyway, I went to the driving range with Chris again yesterday evening. And guess what.. again today with Aunty Kitty and Chris.

"you're flying out of reach, defying gravity. I know you're out there, somewhere out there. Hope you remember me when you're homesick and need a change... I miss... I miss the way you taste ... I'm praying that you don't burn out or fade away. All we are, is all so far." Our Lady Peace - Somewhere Out There

Well, I had originally planned to spend the evening studying, but instead I cleaned. All in anticipation of my cousins arriving this evening. However, they are going to arrive sometime tomorrow instead. Can you imagine 29 of us in San Diego this weekend?

My Altec Lansing speakers have been acting up. It could be the solar flare... For a couple days only the subwoofer was working. Now the speakers are working too. Weird.

My vague thought of the day: As for life, things are never as they seem...

As for Smallville 1961, I just watched the tape this afternoon. Wow, was that a great episode!?! Lana looked terrible as Louise but damn, Clark as Jerrell.. Yay baby! Tom Welling is timeless. He's so hot.

How do we go from firestorm 2003 to freezing our butts off within 2 weeks? Though Southern Cali's winters are pretty mild, I have a very low tolerance for the "cold." People in other States can just chuckle at what I call 'cold.'

What can I say about Wednesdays... I have to be on campus from 8am to 8:30pm Wednesdays. PLUS I have to tape smallville, since I can't watch it real time!!

November already! And we're signing up for next semester classes soon... see, it is not so rough for me because being a UC alumni I'm used to dealing with the fast paced quarter system.

Thanks everyone for their well wishes. Things are getting back to normal for me. But see, I didn't lose my house.

Grocery workers are still on strike, given the events this past week, I really think Southern Californians have bigger issues to worry about than where they buy their groceries. Silly union. Looks like they've gone and lost a bunch of workers their jobs. I went to Vons Friday and things are starting to get back to normal inside.
