What attracts people to me?

Well personally, I was going to go with "nothing"..but Quizilla has once again proven me wrong!

What attracts people to you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Amazing.

Anyhow, little is new with me..I'm just getting by slowly, day by day, waiting for something, anything, of interest to happen, but it never does, haha.. things have been so dull!!

Today I had bowling class...fine by me, it's usually pretty fun, you just bowl 3 games and go home...BUT...today we had a Bowling TEST. UGH! What a joke! The scores are all done by computers, yet just to add a sprinkle of misery to our lives, the coach decides to give us a test on how to keep score in bowling, and how you do all the averages and all that sh*t... WELL...for those of you sitting back in your computer chairs going "That's so freakin' easy!"...IT'S NOT! It can get very confusing!! It's so easy to make an error! So yeah, I think I did sucky on that test...maybe one part I somehow managed to do decently...but besides that I think I did terribly...Oh well ^^ It's just bowling afterall.

Work was pretty dull. I had to work in backstand. It was boring, and I really didn't even sell all that much, but I did get to have baked ziti pizza for dinner! woot!! ^^ And I got to leave early too! *throws confetti*

Well...sadly there isn't much else to say besides that. It's very foggy out...and I'm actually very tired...I'll probably be going to bed soon...So goodnight! ^^

Fino a domani ^.~ Oh, and to Lala and Krystyn, thanks for telling me what a pulsar was ^^ I have such kind and intelligent blog readers ^^ Bye Byeeee

I DIDN'T!!!

How something so miraculous occured, I have no idea, all I know is, I didn't fail! True, I didn't do great either (I got a 73 on the lecture test and a 71 on the lab), but still! The point is I didn't get a 22%!! I wont have to drop the course! I'm not the token idiot of the class!!!!!! *wipes away a tear of joy from her cheek* I'm just...thrilled....

Anyhow in other news, things have been goin' A-O.K.! I'm actually waking up and going to class...yes, it's often devistatingly boring, but the point is I'm getting the job done, and it's already March!! I'm almost there! Almost to the end of the semester!! Can't wait! ^^

Today was my easy day, just Astronomy and Sign Language class. Astronomy was great cause I realized I wasn't a failure, but I was disappointed, cause we have this project where we have to each pick a topic and teach it to the class. There are 11 of us in the class, and 11 topics to choose from. He picked our names out of an envelope to determine who would pick their topic first and unfortunately I was near the end, so I'm stuck teaching the class about neutron stars and pulsars...whatever the hell that is... If you know what the hell a pulsar is, please...please let me know... I really wanted to do my project on black holes, but I wasn't so lucky...damn -.- But oh well, it's OK!! ^^ I'll learn to love neutron stars and pulsars... somehow...

Sign language today was SO hard! Oh my god, we learned so many new things, and you see, since the professor doesn't speak, and only signs to you, you just have to assume and guess, and eventually through desperation you somehow get it, but it was just rough, oh my god...

My friend Grant said he read this book "A Jest of God" and thought that the main character was 100% like me~ I must read it now!! Ohh, and speaking of reading, I had to read this cool book for my writing class called "Persepolis"...it's actually this girl's autobiography drawn like a comic book ^^ So cool! ^^ You all should read it...providing you like reading...and comic books ^^

Ohh, I got my hair highlighted again, and cut shorter! Hooray!! ^^ I was nervous it was going to turn out bad, but it came out pretty good! ^^ I so needed a hair cut... my hair was getting so out of control, and just weird...

You know, lately the weather has been BeAuTiFuL!!! I just had to say so, cause it just brightens up my days...and it allows me to wear my cool sun glasses ^^ ^^ ^^

Oh wow, American Idol tonight...I love the Frank Sinatra boy with the red hair... he's great... true he sucked tonight, but that's only because he sang a crappy song! And I also like the girl from Fiji...Suzy's her name I think..she sings sooo great! And wow! On Monday they had an episode dedicated to all the horrible and embarrassing auditions and had a special performance by William Hung!!! hahahahahahahha!! I LOVE William Hung! He's hilarious! He's gonna be a star~

OK! I'm done! Let's close with a quiz ^^

You belong in the world of leaves and trees, where
the wilderness can claim your soul. Somewhere
like a jungle or a thick wooded forest would be
your world. Intensely in tune with nature, you
feel the world belongs to the natural ways that
once ruled the planet. Be yourself, and
everything will work out. Don't let the grind
of the city destroy your free-as-a-bird nature.

Where do you belong?

Well isn't that something?

Anyhow, little is new with me. I had a week off from school for President's Day, and that was just amazingly fantastic! ^^ Finally a chance to sleep late, and relax. I got to work a few extra hours too, which wasn't quite the highlight of my week off, *but* I definitely could use the money~ haha, I already spent practically my whole paycheck in the course of 2 days ^^;; I really gotta stop that constantly spending money problem I have...

Of course being the scholarly girl I am, I left all my homework I was assigned to do during the week off for Sunday night...I had a history report to write, a writing assignment, and an entire book to read...but you know what??? I somehow managed to DO IT ALL! *cheers for herself* I don't know how I did it, but I did ^^ So hooray for me! And just on a side note, I had to go to 3 different bookstores before I actually found the book I needed to read for my class, and thank GOD I found it. The Professor wont let you into the class if you don't have the book we're reading with you~

Which reminds me!! I am both proud and overjoyed to annouce we are no longer reading "Cherry" in my writing class! *sobs with joy* We'll never have to discuss that awful book...AGAIN!!

I only had astronomy and sign language today ^^ Very nice, and quick day. Unfortunately it started snowing a little, and it was windy too, so all these snow flakes were blowing in my face while I was walking and it was driving me nuts -.- I arrived to sign language class a mess, with snow flakes in my hair, the bottom of my pants soaked (I stepped in a puddle...AGAIN).. and my shoes were squeaking with every damn step I took, but it was all OK in the end though, cause I got a 94% on my test!!! wOo hOo~!!!!! ^^

I was hoping I'd get the results for my astronomy test too, but nOoOo~ The professor wasn't even there! And instead of cancelling the class we had a substitue professor! I've never even heard of such a thing! It sucked. He was dull, and resembled the father from American Pie. He also wore a Bill Cosby like sweater, and wasted class time with his senseless incoherent babblings. Tomorrow we have a lab test though! Failure is practically guuaranteed... Why oh why can't I be good at astronomy?? *sigh* And I also have to buy an over priced star wheel by 12:30 tomorrow!!! *wants to kill the inventor of the star wheel...or the person who decided star wheels shouldn't be provided for students while they take exams* Oh well... on the bright side, you can leave class as soon as you finish the test! Talk about wonderful!! There aren't even that many questions!!!

My sister Nina and I watched American Idol tonight.. I liked the girl with the pink hair, Amy Adams I think her name was.. And I also liked the girl who sang at the end...Latoya?? I forget their names so easily >.< But both those girls were really good!! I felt bad for the fat Hawaiian...I thought he was going to go into cardiac arrest on stage... poor guy.. -.-

Well that pretty much sums it all up!! I had a nice week off, and so far school's goin' OK! I still can't believe it's almost gonna be March though...wow! The times goin' so faaaast! Before ya know it Spring semester will be OVER!

Let's close with a quiz~!!

Your element is Earth: Wise, solitary, mysterious
and loving. You are very wise, not necessarily
does it have to do with school or anything like
that. Your wise as in you know things others do
not, you can see past stereotypes and see the
real people behind their facades, and people
will often come to you for help and advice
perhaps not often but sometimes. Quite solitary
and somewhat shy around people because you
preffer animals and plants, animals aren't
afraid to show themselves or what they are
feeling and plants are fun to nurture. You are
very strong in your silence if you set your
mind on something you will often times pursue
it to the end. Sometimes you just want to get
away, so you seek refuge in the forest where
you can have time to think and try to sort out
your emotions. The sound of the wind usually
calms you if its light, especially moving
through the trees. Life to you is something
precious and should not be taken for granted.

Aint it the truth

OK, Enough is Enough...

My f*ckin' God, I'm gonna scream! I just cant stand it anymore! I can't stand THIS! My life! There's just no escape, no relief, no joy! I go to school from Monday until Friday morning, and I work from Friday night, until Sunday night. Any time I have to myself is spent at home with my adoringly "cheerful" family *sarcasm* I could just cry.. I hate this!

I'm so exhausted!! And even on days when I have an opportunity to sleep late, I get woken up by an inconsiderate family member, either because they were arguing about something senseless very loudly, lost something they need, and actually expect everyone to stop what they're doing (even if its sleeping) and help them find it, or they need something from me, like a calculator, or permission to borrow a shirt, or something like that. I just can't take it...

I hate all my classes this semester, except sign language... but you see, this time when I say I hate my classes, I'm not just saying it to make conversation, I sincerely mean it. I possess a genuine dislike for them...to the point where the very thought of attending them makes me twitch...as a matter of fact, I've already used up all my absences for each of my classes except for sign language and bowling. I'm really f*cking up this semester..

Speaking of f*cking up, I have an astronomy test tomorrow, and I can almost guarantee failure. I spent the night studying, but it all goes right though me~ I tried writing notes for myself, and after 5 minutes I realized I had written the same sentence twice already!! What the hell is happening to me! I have no focus anymore!! ughhh~~ Anyhow, as far as astronomy goes, I know a few irrelevant tid bits here and there... but I doubt I know enough to get me a passing grade.. whatever...I don't even want to think about how badly I'm gonna fail that test, and how stupid the professor must think I am.. Oh, and to make matters worse, I got to lab class late today, and had to sit with a group that was way smart, and couldn't understand the fact that I suck at science, and offered minimal sympathy towards my lack of knowledge...For example:

Me: [Reads equation] What's 4.12 X 3.1325467/2 ...(or something like that)

Girl at my table: [stares at me like I asked her what's 1 + 1] That's the speed of light... (she says it as if it's something every American should f*ckin' know! AHHH! I'm seriously going to go hang myself with a neck tie or something... I CAN'T STAND ANY OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Man things just SUCK. From work, to school, to my house! I'm just going insane! My best friend is away at school, therefore, I don't even have anyone to hang out with... it all just turns into a very horrid vicious cycle... My escape from school is home, my escape from home is work, my escape from work is school...and all 3 of these places I dislike anyway, therefore there really is no escaping being done...

I need to get drunk out of my mind or something, before I seriously lose it...

Tomorrow I have to wake up early to go to my stupid writing class that is SO f*ckin' pointless that I feel like raising my hand and annoucing it... then I have an hour to study for that astronomy test that I'll probably fail...even worse will be the part when the Professor hands back the tests...

Random student: Professor Witt! How did we all do on the test!?

Professor: Well, the whole class got 100%! ^^

Me: Even me, Professor Witt??

Professor: *laughs* Are you kidding? You got a 22%...and that's plus the 2 sympathy points I gave you for being so DUMB!

Me: I see...

OK, I'm finished..

"The Turks still deny the Armenian genocide..."

and then the crazy man will raise his hand and go:

"You know.. Hitler didn't just kill Jews... he killed Gypsys and the disabled, and--"

At that point the Professor cuts him off and goes:

"I'm sorry I'm gonna have to stop you...what we're talking about has absolutely nothing to do with Hitler..."

And then the crazy man tries to add in more, despite the Professor's pleas...

"But Hitler...Hitler...he--"

Then the Professor finally yells:

"We'll talk about Hitler later in the course!!" hahaha...

On the bright side of things, at least after my history class I can GO HOME! Yaaaay~!! ^^ *throws confetti* Thank God~ I don't know what I'd do if I had to stick around for another class -.-

Ohh, I was so upset yesterday~ My mom actually made an awesome dinner last night, but I had to go to work so I couldn't have any *sobs* She made chicken parm, with some other stuff and chocolate cake! I'm never home for the good dinners~ And they didn't even save me any chicken! *mutters* Inhumane animals...*sigh* Oh well... at least work wasn't so bad..I got to work in the box office, and that's always nice ^^ And we closed early too~ Hooray~ But I seriously think I'm gonna have to stop working Sunday nights... cause it makes going to class the next morning very difficult >.<

OK, I have GOT to find the movie "Heavy Weights"..on DVD, VHS...even if someone has a tape of it that they recorded themself and would let me borrow it for just one night, I'd be thrilled! I NEED to see this movie again!

Sadly, there really isn't much to say... My life has hit an all time low.. there's just NOTHING GOING ON! Except my hatred for astronomy, and my laziness.. OH! and I bought a crimping iron~ I LOVE it!! *hugs crimping iron* hehe ^^

Well that's really all there is... My life is lacking substence.. The most exciting part of my day is wondering what's for dinner.. I tried asking my sister, but she didn't like the nickname I gave her, so I got no answer, as you can see below -.-

GURL OO7: whats for dinner mother hen?

Neenz548: never call me that again

Next I had astronomy.. I hate that class.. but the reason class today was so good was because I wasn't called on to answer any homework problems, and we watched a movie...which means I don't have to listen to the Professor speak and I can take a nap! haha ^^ Actually I really didn't mean to fall asleep, but it was so dark in the room, cause he shuts off the lights while we watch movies...and then...I don't know..I just started dozing off...and all the voices in the video kept entering my dreams... so strange~ haha ^^ Even worse, I musta been half asleep or something, cause I tried to wake up and open my eyes cause I was scared the Professor would notice my sleeping, and I was looking at the floor of the classroom, and I must have been hallucenating or something cause I could have sworn I saw a giant red spider crawling right towards me!! I almost screamed! Thank GOD the image disappeared...cause screaming in the middle of class would have been hard to explain..

Professor: [angry and surprised] Why did you just disrupt my class??

Me: [confused and humiliated] Um..I thought I saw a giant red spider sir...

Next class was sign language, and oh my gosh, I am SO happy! I finally caught up with the rest of the class and now I know everything SO well!! I knew the answers to all the questions and did everything wonderfully ^^ Yaaaaay~!!! I am a sign language genius!!! *throws confetti*

After sign language I picked up my check, and now I have money agaaaiiiin!!! ^^ yay yay yaaaay!! ^^ I'll probably have no money again though come Monday, haha~ ^^ I have a spending my whole paycheck and never saving any of it problem... hehe ^^

Well, that's pretty much the extent of what's been going on with me.. Pretty exciting stuff, huh? haha ^^

My original plan was to arrive at school early, go to the American Sign Language communication lab for the first time, BEG someone to help me, and then go to my sign language class being a genius. You see, I missed 1 day of sign language class, and now I'm soooooo lost I could cry! And there's no talking allowed in class, so it's not like I can raise my hand and be like "What the hell does that mean?".. there's just no hope~ Well, there *was* hope.. I figured at the sign language communication lab, one of the workers would let me actually speak so I could explain my problem and help me, but when I got to the lab, it was closed!! Damn it, Damn it, Damn it! So I guess I'll have to be an idiot again today in class *sigh* What can ya do. At least I wrote an absolutely wonderful, and well written response to the article we had to read in class, and handed it in to the Professor early too! So now at least she knows I'm capable of doing something right ^^

Ohh, in my last entry I discussed how much I absolutely loathed the book "Cherry", and how we had to read 100 pages a night, and how it would eat away at my sanity and all that... Well guess what?? Although "Cherry" still *kinda* sucks it's not really so bad anymore!... but the big news is, the Professor moves soooooooooooo slow in talking about the book that if I don't read, he wont even notice!! Mwhahahahahahahahaha~ We're still discussing the prologue!! Do you realize I read 143 pages of pure crap for nothing?!??!!! The only reason I'm happy about that is because now I know I wont have to bother with the final 100 pages! haha~~ *throws confetti* I feel like having a party!

I had the most amazing sleep last night... I just had to share... cause it was just so terrific~ As a matter of fact it was so good, that I'm actually looking foward to going to sleep again tonight! ^^ haha~ I'm always looking foward to sleep...it's sad... but anyway...

I hope the roads are OK when I get out of class... they're supposed to be icy from all this "freezing rain"...truthfully, the rain isn't even that cold... and there's no hale...and it just doesn't seem like the roads will be icy, but God help me if they are... my car SUCKS in ice and snow~

You know a lot of my Professors are asking that students write a journal about what they think about their class... it's so weird and annoying! Like, after every class, I have to write a few sentences of what I thought about the class, and after a month, they look at it and grade it... What the hell is that all about?! Totally weird, and totally meant to feed their egos I bet... The professor's who give assignments like that are probably hoping some student writes:

Today we learned about the Ottoman empire, and it's demise.. I found the way the Professor taught the lesson to be the best part of all. He is so wise, and the perfect candidate to be teaching this very difficult subject. Furthermore, it would be an absoltute crime not to have him teaching this class. He is amazing. He is God's greatest gift to Nassau Community College. I love him."

And that student will probably get an A for falling into that ego maniacs trap! If I get an A on any of my stupid journals, it will not be for praising the Professor and overfeeding his/her oversized ego!! *takes a deep breath*

It's 1:34...God, can't I just go to sign language class and get it over with already?? (sign language class is at 2:30) ughh... if only that stupid communications lab was open!!! Stupid world...

Anyhow, I will conclude my dull entry here.

"You want to say goodbye to your daddy, but you can see the sad look in his eyes..."

And thats another thing! Her dad is always her "daddy" ughh! Just make it stop! Make the book end, somebody PLEASE! I haven't a clue as to how I'm going to read 100 pages of that garbage before Thursday..."Cherry" SUCKS! And it was on the bestseller list too~ Which worries me...watch me come to class on Thursday and be the only one who doesn't absolutely "adore" the monstrosity I've come to know as "Cherry"... just watch..everyone will be like "I already finished the whole book! It's changed my life! And the way she wrote her memoirs in 2nd person...pure brilliance!" then it will go to me, "Michelle what do you think?" the Professor will ask..and I'll inevitably cringe unable to hide my disgust for the book, and reply "I wanted the book to end at page 8..." and everyone will gasp in horror, and I'll be kicked out of the class for having "bad taste" in literature... stupid world...

Man, I hope we have a snow day tomorrow! Already it's starting to snow, and I'm anticipating more, only because I just don't feel like going to class tomorrow... I have history and science lab... not even that bad of a day for me to be truthful...but I just don't wanna go! I cherish my sleep, and no school means I'll get tons of it ^^

Nothing too exciting has been going on really... it's still very cold here, and the damn fire place STILL isn't doing a thing... but I discussed this the last entry, so lets move on~ ^^

Today was a cool day~ I woke up early, and what was on the TV but Home Alone 2: Lost in NY.. haha, I love that movie.. Tim Curry's hilarious. ^^

Anyhow, I love Mondays because I just have 2 classes, and I'm out by 12:15! It's so great! First I had my writing class, which was actually really really cool! We all get to voice our opinions on how we think he should grade our work and just talk, and normally I don't really like talking to the class, but he made it fun ^^ And even better...HE USED TO TEACH ENGLISH IN SOUTH KOREA! Oh my gosh!! That's what I want to do~!!! Ahhh~ I'm definitely asking him about it, cause that's just too cool!! I love this man!! But one thing that sucks is he gives us 100 pages of reading a night!! And I haven't even bought the book we have to read yet!! How am I going to get 100 pages done when I have other work in other classes!! jeez.. this book better be excellent...otherwise I don't know how I'm gonna do it -.-

Next I had my history class with the very awesome Professor Schrank... it was an interesting class...the first half hour at least.. you see, in the beginning it's all very interesting, and I actually want to listen, and am attentive.. but after that half hour mark, I can't focus on his lecture anymore, and it all just gets so dull.. I find myself spaced out and drawing on my dividers... and then someone will say something loudly, and I'll snap out of it.. but overall, it's still not so bad of a class, because for the most part it's interesting, its taught by a nice professor, and you wont get called on if you don't want to speak.. and that is the best part of all! I hate it when Professors call on you to answer questions they know you don't know, their only purpose being to humiliate you... that just sucks. Usually science teachers like to do that... I guess they do it to intimidate people to learn.. My bio teacher in 10th grade used to call on random students to answer insane problems all the time...but even worse, if you got it wrong, you had to answer the next 2 problems on the homework, or answer the next 2 questions he was going to ask...and God help you if you got those wrong, cause then you'd have to answer the next 3!! ahh! What a nightmare! But that class did intimidate me to learn.. I used to thumb through my bio book like a maniac before class trying to memorize the definitions of all the bold words incase he decided to ask them..

Ohh guess what I did after class?? I went to Pizza Hut with my sister! Yay! I love pizza ^^ It was great~ ^^ And it made up for the bad dinner I had tonight.. yuck...we had these odd cheddar mashed potatos with chicken and I was definitely not a fan of either... and we didn't have any iced tea! *sobs* I've been drinking nothing but apple juice all day~ Well, apple juice, along with Tropicana's fruit fury fruit punch (just try and say that 3x fast!)... which actually is quite good, but there's no more left... T-T

Oh man, I felt sooo stupid last night~ I was working in the box office at Loews, and this guy came up to me, and we started talking, and when he found out I was studying Japanese and Korean he's like "Why not Italian?!" (he's from Italy) and I said "Well I do speak a little Italian.." <--notice how I said a *little*..When I said this, his face lit up and he began speaking Italian sooooooooooooooooooo fast that I hadn't the vaguest conception under God what he had even said... the only word I recognized was 'parli'.. I was so overwhelemed and was so nervous about making a mistake in grammar, that I ended up doing it anyway. I said: "Mia italiano...molto male..." which means "My italian...very bad..." haha... soooo pathetic >.< Wish I could keep my cool in these foregin language confrontations~ haha.. I suck

So now I'm here, relaxin' ^^ And that's your update! haha, it's really kinda sad.. there's just nothing exciting going on here...

Let's close with a quiz! I got this one from Marta's page ^^

Dark magician. You love the dark because of it's
beauty and just the life that no-one else sees.
Mysterious, calm, quiet... But that doesn't
mean you're not friendly!

Please rate ^^

What kind of dark person are you?

School was O.K. today I guess.. Astronomy was sooooooooooooooooooo boring though...All we talked about was measurements, and exponents, and math and numbers, and diameters, and distances, and circumferences, and quadrillions..AHHHHH MAKE IT STOP!! I tried really hard to stay focused, but it was just too boring... Thankfully after his boring talk on all the crap we learned today, we watched a movie. Only part of it was interesting..the part about the planets and blackholes.. I hated the parts where all the astrophysicists had to blab on and on and on about their careers, and how we should WANT to know about our Universe...jeez, just shut up and show me some pretty pictures of the solar system...that's all anyone cares to see...

After the boredom of astronomy I had to walk to the other side of the campus for my American Sign Language class, but on the way I saw the most ADORABLE seagull! OK, I mean, usually, I hate seagulls...they're irritating and eat garbage... but this seagull was SO cute!! Soo white, with fluffed up feathers, and little black eyes!! awwwwww <3 I named him Snowy ^^ But anyhow, Sign Language class was great! So much fun!! ^^ We're learning how to sign letters now and such! Hooray! ^^

Mmmm..we had Chinese food for dinner tonight ^^ Very excellent ^^ And Happy Chinese New Year!!

Tomorrow I have bowling class, lets hope it doesn't suck...although it probably will..its a phys ed course after all...but on the bright side, I don't have class until 11, and the parking lot's usually empty on Fridays~!! ^^

Well, that's all that's goin' on here really...Oh and I'm so annoyed!! I was looking foward to watching Degrassi re-reuns today, back to back, 7pm-8pm, but you know what that stupid network decided to do??? Have a Radio Free Roscoe marathon! GAHHH!!! >.< Radio Free Roscoe is the WORST!!

Other students came in, and we exchanged hellos, but after that things got very quiet... insanely quiet. We were all sitting in absolute silence. Not a word was exchanged. Maybe I heard a sniffle every now and then, but besides this no noise was made. It was actually quite awkward, and kind of unfortunate. I was kind of bored, so I would have loved to have talked to some new people, but I didn't want to spoil the tranquility of the classroom... but then guess what!! Krystyn, who works with me at the movie theater came in to the class!!! Ahh! How COOL! I actually know someone in the class!! And now I had someone to talk to!!! Seeing Krystyn was pure joy!! Now I wont have to be bored and silent in astronomy ^^ And plus she already took an astronomy course before this one, so if I ever get confused maybe she can help me ^^ So yes, I was thrilled to have a friend in astronomy. As for the course itself, it seems nice! A lot better than bio ^^ The Professor seems cool too, and he has sooo many handouts explaining everything. And he actually TEACHES unlike some professors I've had, thank God!! But one sucky thing is, he works til the last minute, so no leaving early -.- And my next class after astronomy is sign language, and it's all the way in building N! I have to walk from building C to N!! UGH! Insanity I tell you~!! I'm going to slip on the ice and crack open my skull one of these days! There's so much ice and snow and hideous brown slush EVERYWHERE! I can't stand it!!

But yeah, next I had sign language. I was totally looking foward to this class, cause I've been trying to get in it for 3 semesters!! But man, I can see why it fills up so fast, it's so much fun!!! It's like a total immersion thing. There's no talking. The Professor starts signing to you from the moment you get in, and at first you're like "O.o" but it starts to click really fast ^^ I now know how to sign "Hello","My name is...", "What's your name?", "Nice to meet you", "Ohh." "Where", "Who" and "What?" <--a very useful one ^^ hehe. It was so much fuuuuun~ <3 ^^

Not a bad day..not a bad day at all ^^

Tomorrow the schedule is...

History- 11:00-12:15
Astronomy- 12:30-3:15
Acting- 3:30-4:45

Hope it all goes OK!! I'm looking foward to history though, because my favorite Professor in all of N.C.C. teaches it!! Professor Schrank!!! ^^ He's the best!!! ^^

As for acting...I pray that goes alright... there are 2 Professors I could get... one thats really cool, and one that suuuucks... *crosses her fingers that she gets the cool one* ^^;;

Well that's all for now! I have to go to bed early tonight, cause I have to wake up early tomorrow >.< I'm still used to waking up around 11am -.- I hate getting up early -.- Lets hope I can do it!

IT CANT BE! I will not... I REFUSE! Elijah and I shall never exchange vows! Never! EVER! *sobs* No No No No No!

*takes a deep breath*

OK, now that I have expressed my distaste for my quiz result we'll move on! ^^

The time has finally come...winter break has come to an end...

Tomorrow it's....

BACK TO SCHOOL!...*sobs*...

Actually, to be honest, it's probably for the better that school's coming, I think my mind has been rotting away over the past few days...so hopefully school can rejuvenate all those paralyzed brain cells in my head >.< hehe

The break went fast though!! And only yesterday did I come to the realization that I had absolutely no school supplies...I used to have a bunch of cool pencils and pens, but one of the pens exploded in my bag, destroying them all, along with itself, so there goes that. And the only notebooks we have around here right now are those stupid black and white marbled notebooks and I haaate those~ You cant even rip out the paper! ughhh! frustrating! But there is some light at the end of my tunnel, I managed to find a binder I can use for the time being. True it's obnoxiously pink and cheap... but it will get the job done ^^

My schedule for tomorrow is as follows..

Astronomy- 1:00-2:15
American Sign Language- 2:30-3:45

and then I can go home! ^^ Not bad, not bad at all ^^ And I can sleep late too!! wOo hOo!! ^^

The phone's ringing but I'm too lazy to pick it up... jeez this is sad...I really gotta stop being such a sloth and get up from the damn computer chair every now and then, haha..

OHH! You know who I saw last night at work?? This girl who was in my badminton class, and the best player there~ haha ^^ She was all like "what happened? why did you drop the class??" hehe, as if she didn't know. It was that damned psychotic coach!! I feared for my life when I was in that woman's presence!! But thankfully that chapter of my life is over ^^

In other news I had applejacks for breakfast. Mediocre...very mediocre...I mean, it's not a *bad* cereal... but it's wasn't great either. I've been in the mood for Berry Berry Kix these days, but we don't have any.. Oh well.

Damn, my hands are freezing! They're like ice! haha~ Speaking of ice, it was hilarious~ My sister Nina HATES ice... she must have slipped on the ice and died in a past life because she seriously is terrified of it~ haha~ Anyhow, she was so worried because all the slushy snow turned to ice, and our stoop was covered in it. Her friend was coming to pick her up and she was panicking like a maniac about how she would get to the car. She's like: "Michelle~ how am I going to get down the stoop?!? How????" hahahahahha... She managed though, she managed.

Oh wow, my Mom is the greatest!! She just came downstairs and surprised me a pack of pencils! And not just any pencils, my FAVORITE pencils~ They're yellow with a pink eraser, and its kinda like a mechanical pencil, except you twist the bottom and the lead comes out, instead of pressing on the eraser. She must have sensed all of my writing implements were destroyed, hehe ^^ yaaay~ Now I have something decent to write with ^^

Yeah, I know...long time, no entry~ I've been so busy there days~!...well actually, that's a lie..I'm still on winter break, so I've just been hangin' around my house doin' nothin', hehe ^^ I've also been doing a lot of shopping ^^ I have a serious spending money problem...whether it's earrings, manga, clothes, food...I just go overboard -.- I have to stay away from the mall~ But I can't help it~ Ahh! If I see money in my wallet it has to go! I must buy! Buy Buy Buy!!! AHHH~..*cough cough*...*ahem* sorry ^^ Anyway, yeah, I've been having a blast spending all my Christmas money, and any other money I've earned from work. I got a cute top from dELiA*s, and A LOT of manga at Suncoast. I started reading this really awesome manga called "Snow Drop"...completely amazing. If you like manga...go buy it. It's A+ material ^^

OH~~ And I have good news~!!! I've been accepted into Binghamton University~!!!! WoO hOo~!!!! *throws confetti* *gets out the champaigne* Yaaaaaaaaaay~!!! ^^

And you know what...I have even bigger news~ I'm gonna be an Aunt~!!! wooooo~!!!! Auntie M!! That's gonne be me~~!! hahaha~ ^^ *throws more confetti* haha~ My oldest sister Jen is nearly 2 months pregnant!! Congrats to her! ^^ we all found out on New Years day~

Hiiii~ Long time no entry, I know~ I've been busy with the holidays, and work and all~ hehe ^^ Hope everyone had a nice Christmas/holiday! My Christmas was awesome! I got Saved by the Bell on DVD!! Sooo cool!! I've been watching it all morning~ haha ^^ I also got Willard on DVD, a make up kit from Ulta (I love it!), Clothes, Tons of awesome earrings, an Ello kit (hahaha, I love those things~ they're like leggos for girls, and I know they're meant for kids, but I had to have them, they're so cOoOoOoL~ You can make picture frames, and people, and jewelry, it's creative and fun ^^), I also got FAKE volume 4~!! I'll let you know how it is ^^ I love that manga ^^ And I got a Borders Book gift certificate, a new plush Gizmo (my dog chewed up my first one >.<) and last but not least, a nail buffer kit, haha~ makes your nails super shiny and pretty ^^ and that was pretty much it, make up, clothes, earrings, DVDs.. it was very nice!! ^^

Marta and I hung out the other day to exchange gifts. We had lunch at our "local hang out" Green Tea cafe, haha ^^ Good food, affordable prices, and the same waitress everytime, and the check brought to you before you even finish the meal, hahaha~ And Marta got me great gifts!! She got me this real pretty make up bag that I love (it's almost too pretty for me to put all my make up in, I dont wanna ruin it, haha~) and these cooool pink chandelier-like earrings that are so nice, and pretty!! I wore them to work yesterday and got so many compliments, thank you Marta!!! <3 I got Marta Demon Diary 4 (which was an AWESOME volume), a tiny glass owl, and another owl that was carved out of a gord...sounds weird, but it is SO cute that I had to get it for her (she loves owls). And I also got her this sunshine buddy... it's basically this blue guy that sits on your desk and smiles and looks cute while his head rocks back and forth...sounds pointless but he was so adorable I had to get her one~ haha ^^

Wow~ I got a letter in the mail today from my buddy Christi~!! Christi I got your CDs!!! I LOVE EM~!!!! 5tion is SOOOO great~!! I gotta listen to MORE of em~!!! Pierrot was pretty cool too~ But I didn't get to listen to all their songs yet~ And I still have the other CD to listen to~ But so far, so good~!! I love it!!! 5tion is GREAT~! ^^ Thank you SOOOO much!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh wow~ Goooood news~ I got my grades!!!!

Literary Masterworks- A

Human Sexuality- A

Math- A

Aerobics- A

and here's the big shocker....

Biology- B

I GOT A B IN BIOLOGY~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How the hell did I manage that?! I was so scared I'd get a C~ I am SO f*ckin' happy I could cry~!!! Bio was SO hard and I thought I failed the final, but apparently I musta done pretty decently!! I can't believe I got a B~!!!!!!!!!!!! *sobs of joy* This is amazing!! I'm SOOOO happy!! Nan haengbok hae yo~ hehe ^.~

I'm so glad I actually have a day off~!! I've been workin' at Loews sooo much this week~ It's been crazy cause it was the weekend after Christmas so everyone was at the movies using up their gift certificates and such... it was sooo nuts~ At one point 2 of our movies sold out, Somethings Gotta Give, and Cold Mountain... so once they sold out, no movies were playing for like..an hour and a half...so everyone was just standing around wondering what the hell to see.. hehe ^^ Makes my job easy~ Yesterday I worked from 5:30-12:15.. it wasn't so bad, I pretty much got to do what I wanted... When it was busy I sold tickets in the box office, but when a movie got out, I had to clean theaters... but that part kinda sucked cause it was just Fidel and I on floor, and Fidel hardly speaks english so I didn't really have anyone to talk to while I was cleaning. And the people watching Cheaper by the Dozen were SLOBS~ It took Fidel and I an eternity to clean it all~!! T-T Haha, and it was funny, about a week ago, we had a fire drill, and Glenn and I were on floor, cleaning theaters and such, and our manager told us to explain to everyone that someone pulled the fire alarm and that there was no real fire, etc. but we both got yelled at soooo bad by this b*tchy old woman in a fur coat, and when I saw him again Sunday he said the same old lady came back again on Saturday and decided to yell at him some more, hahaha~ Poor Glenn.

Well that's pretty much what's been new with me~ OH one more thing I wanna mention...On Christmas we visit my relatives on my Mom's side, and my Aunt Lorraine sat on a cupcake...LOL~!!!!! it was classic...

Fino a domani~! ^^

"Would you want to become one of us?" she looked hopeful, and said it as if she was giving me a way out..

I was nervous, and had no idea what to say... I knew the answer inside my head was no... but for some reason the word 'no' refused to leave my lips and all I could manage to say was:

"I'm scared to die.."

She stared at me, and then with such crazy speed she bit my neck..I had no idea why, but I didn't expect her to do it..and soon she began sucking my blood... I cried "Wait~" but she wasn't going to stop... and as she sucked my blood my insides felt strange, as if they were inflating, and about to burst...

I'm actually in the school's computer lab right now.. You're probably wondering why the hell I'm still here~ Well, even though all my finals are DONE~ I still have to go to my english class.. blaaaah~ She wants us to show up just so we can sit and talk about her class and read a favorite excerpt from one of the works we had to read in her class.. I guess she wants to do it so we have some sorta sense of closure, and at least I'll get to see how I did on the final~ But stiiiill~ I wanna go home!! And now I have to hang around the school for 2 hours and wait for her class to start.. (going home would be pointless, and I'm low on gas) But yeah...what can ya do~ And at least I wont have to be nervous about any finals or doing any work in her class ^^ All I have to worry about is what excerpt I'm gonna read.. I decided to read the ending paragraph of 'Gilgamesh', cause it's hopeful and nice ^^

Yesterday I *did* actually get some Christmas shopping done!! Go me!! But I'm still not done! I went to Ulta and got my sister Jen this WAY awesome Hard Candy Eye shadow quartet thing ^^ It's great!! And Hard Candy makes GREAT eye shadow~ It goes on so smooth, and perfect ^^ I used to have a kit with 4 different brownish shades in it, and they were wonderful, but now I don't wear browns so much anymore, so I think my little sis has it now ^^ I like white, and pinks, and I especially like this eye shadow duo by Maybelline called "Berry Chic" ^^ I love make up~ Wish I could work at Ulta instead of stupid Singletons.. *pouts* But yeah, anyhow, my sister Jen is done now, cause I got her the eye shadow kit (which was kinda expensive >.<) and this Calvin and Hobbes book~ (she loves Calvin and Hobbes!) ^^ Now my Mom and bro are the only 2 left.. I wonder when the hell I'm gonna get my lazy a** to the mall and get them their gifts~ Ahh~ I'm just such a procrastinator!! It's already the 18th!! In only 2 days it will be the 20th! And on the 20th we can say 5 days until Christmas...and that is NOT a long time away!! I really gotta hurry things up here~~ Maybe I'll go shopping Friday!! I have no work! ^^ But even so, whenever I have no work or school it just seems so much more tempting to lounge around the house, sleep, and watch funny tv shows.. Yesterday my sis and I watched Full House, and then we got food from Checkers ^^ Good times~ And then I finally decided to go get my sister Jen's gift around 5pm...haha...what a slacker I am...wasting my day like that.. yeah...I suck.. but hey, I did get the job done! And I got to eat Checkers too! I loooove Checkers~ they have the BEST fries! Oh~ Speaking of food, they built a KFC by my house!! I have almost NEVER had KFC..I can think of maybe...2 occasions when I mighta had it, but it was a looooong time ago~ So it will be fun to try ^^

K I'm done talking about food.. Hmm.. That basically covers everything..I'm just really bored right now.. I wish I didn't have to go to english class~ Even more I wish I had something to good to read or do... true, I am blogging and that is something to do, but still, there's only so much I can blog about.. Actually, I could probably blog forever if I wanted to...I can type and type forever about nothing... but I'll spare ya, and go find something productive to do! (I'll probably end up sleeping in the library..)

Today I had my English final and it was "hella" easy as they say.. haha ^^ My handwriting on the essay mighta been a little illegible near the end though, I was rushing, cause I wanted to LEAVE! But I think I made some valid points ^^ I should get a good grade! *cheers* Fabulous fabulous news ^^

Since I have the day off tomorrow, I have decided to get my Christmas shopping done once and for all!! I'm SO far behind~ ahhh~!! And I've also come to the conclusion that I'm not as good at wrapping presents as I once thought >.< One of my sisters gifts is in this big square box and I tried to wrap it, and it looks horrible~ So horrible that I thought about unwrapping it, and wrapping it again... but I knew if I tried a 2nd time it would probably just look worse.. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm left handed and the scissors my mom has are very anti lefty, and it makes cutting so hard!! My hand aches after I use it.. *sigh* Oh well~ it's what's INSIDE that counts afterall~ ^^ And I got some cool gifts for people this year ^^ So I hope everyone is very happy ^^

Man, I'm stuffed..I had some McDonalds for dinner. My bro came along with me for the ride when I went to pick up the food, and he says I am a very skilled "orderer"..hooray!! haha~ He probably thinks I'm good at ordering food over an intercom only because he's seen the absolute worst.. my Mom can't order through the drive-thru intercom to save her life... she always gets so confused, mispronounces things, starts laughing for no reason, and it's just very strange and amusing all at once, hehehe.. And my Dad screams the order...very very loudly... haha.. ^^;; I think his hearing must be going or something, cause he speaks so loud, and listens to the tv and music so loud, it's just nuts~ The floor shakes!

Oh wow... I thought I just saw a spider!!! *takes a deep breath* Wow... thank goodness it was a false alarm~ hahahaha....phew... those damn spiders...vicious vicious creatures...

I might actually go and see a movie tomorrow~ Imagine~ Me actually seeing a movie! wow~

I'm so disappointed~ I'm working at Singletons on Saturday...I'd much rather work at Loews...I'm beginning to hate the Singleton's job..I don't care if I get free dinner, and a tip, one of the ladies, well actually 2 are ReALLy annoying, and the job just isn't fun... I worked there about 5 hours last shift, and I felt like I was there an eternity.. And this lady keeps calling me all these weird names that are so far off from Michelle, that I don't even know where she's getting them from. Her favorite name to call me is "Cindy"..she called me that so much one shift that other customers started calling me Cindy as well... "Cindy, could you get me some ice water??" "Cindy could I have another fork?".. I didn't even bother to correct them...just went with it...*shrugs*.. if she's not calling me Cindy, it's Christine, Melissa, or "What's her name"...*sigh* it's annoying. But there are those rare moments I'm actually addressed as Michelle... those are some great moments ^^ Being called my actual name.. it's wonderful. But yeah, I'm a little annoyed I have to work there on Saturday~ I actually REALLY wanted to work at the movie theater... My love of movie theater working has recently been rekindled...

Well, I'm gonna go see if they're showing the all new Degrassi they aired last Friday that I had to miss~ It looked very interesting! Terri dates this geeky guy, but he turns out to be an abusive psycho!! Who woulda guessed?! Certainly not me! So yeah, I would definitely like to catch that episode tonight ^^ *hopes its on*

Well that's all for now!! But before I go, lets close with a COOL "Demon Diary" quiz I found ^^

Raenef! You're cute and fluffy and trying *so* hard
just to be evil. You really wish you could
please Eclipse, its just so hard. Then again,
he *is* a demon. You are supposed to become a
great and powerful demon lord, but after you
let down Eclipse you decided to run away and
not return until you *became* a demon lord.
keep trying, you'll be evil some day. maybe
even by book 3!

Which Demon Diary Character Are You? (Now with Pictures)
brought to you by Quizilla

*sigh* I love Raenef~!! *^^*

I GOT AN "A" IN HER CLASS!!!!!!!! ^^ ^^ ^^

How amazing!! I was so worried I wouldn't get an "A" cause of that one sucky test grade, but I did~!!! I really truly diiiiiiid~!!!! *throws confetti* This is so GREAT~ I was worried this semester I might get NO A's and all B's... now I at least have 1! ^^ There's hope for me yet~

I'm in the school computer lab right now, waiting for my Bio class to start... Bio should be cool because we're doing oral presentations today, and I already did mine!! So I get to just sit on my lazy a** and watch~ Sounds like a nice relaxing class period to me ^^ Man though, those oral presentations make me sooooooo nervous! Even worse, I was scheduled to go 7TH on Monday, and so many people kept giving lame excuses as to why they couldn't go, that I ended up going 4th!!! But it was actually for the better, cause I was sitting in absolute agony waiting until it was my turn to be humiliated in front of the class, so getting it over with so soon was actually a blessing ^^....And my presentation turned out OK! In the beginning I thought I was gonna faint, and I probably sounded like a complete idiot, BUT it's over!! And people said I did really good, so that's enough to shut me up ^^

Unfortunately I have english class today too... I really hate that class...I'm so sick of the Inferno it's not even funny anymore...not like it was ever funny to begin with actually, but anyway...I can't even BS my responses anymore, cause I just don't wanna even talk about the stupid book!...and I'm sick of the stupid pages of the week! Every Thursday we have to write a paper on what we're reading and it's slowly sucking out my sanity!!! UGHHHHH... I FINALLY finished my paper on the stupid Shield of Achilles, now all I have to do is write ANOTHER paper on the Inferno...and then....then....It's OVER...finally OVER! thank the lord~ Her class is like my own personal inferno...

Well, you know I ACTUALLY have money now thanks to a very large paycheck from the movie theater I forgot about ^^ So on Tuesday my sister Lauren and I did some Christmas shopping, and now all I have left to buy for is My mom and little bro ^^ Almost doooone~!! Then I get to wrap everything really pretty and that's always fun ^^ I love giving Christmas gifts!! Especially one's that are wrapped pretty ^^ Unfortunately I can't find the wrapping paper, and ribbons, and the only name tags I could find in my house were in Spanish...really weird...I don't know who bought those...they have a pic of an angel on them in the corner, and in red writing it says "Para" and underneath it "De"...haha ^^ Para is "For" and de is "From", right?? I hope I'm right... haha~ And if I'm not, cut me some slack, I didn't take Spanish in high school, I took Italiano~ ^^

Well, that's basically everything that's goin' on with me about now... Ohhh and my buddy Grant's finally home from California~!! $uPa CoO~ hehe ^^

1. Finish Heart Attack Presentation for Bio Class- (I finished it last night!!! *throws confetti* Go me!! Now all I have to do is read what I wrote over 1000 times so it sticks in my head so I can talk to the class instead of read to them.. ^^)

2. Study for Math final (Blaaahhh...shouldn't be so bad though~ Math is actually pretty easy this semester~ *crosses fingers* I hope she doesn't make the final really hard though!!)

3. Write that stupid "Shield of Achilles" Paper for English- (Ewww, I so don't wanna write this paper! She gave us this poem, the Shield of Achilles, and we have to compare it to Book 18 of the Iliad, and it's just such a pain, I'm sick of it all...I'll probably end up writing that stupid thing Monday night..)

4. Finish Reading Dante's Inferno- (Interesting story, but I have so little time these days~ And wow! There's this part of the book that talks about how all the unbaptized babies are in HELL, do you know that??? How terrible!!!! They didn't even do anything, and now they're trapped in hell forever, forced to abandon all hope~~ *sniffles*)

5. Study for Bio final- (Ohhhhhh man, that's gonna be rough, I can just feel it~ Ahhh~ Why is Bio so hard!??!)

6. Make some Money and Buy Christmas Gifts for the Remaining Family Members- (I went to the mall with my sis on Wednesday I think it was... and I got gifts for my Dad, my sister Lauren, and of course Marta ^^ But I still have to buy for my Mom, Little sister Nina, Big sister Jen, and my brother~ *sigh* where am I gonna get the money for all this?!??!)

Anyway, that concludes my to do list... I figure if I make a list of what I have to get done, it helps, cause it makes me feel good about myself when I can cross something off the list, haha... (yeah, I'm weird.) But try it! Making to do lists is very helpful ^^

OK, now onto the title of the entry....SNOW SCARE! Yep...there's a TON of snow outside... thus I'm scared, because I don't know how I'm gonna drive in this mess!! I am SO bad with snow driving~ My car has rear wheel drive, and I know if I try and drive to work, the snow filled streets will force me to meet my untimely death and I'll swerve into a pole or something...*sigh* I'm gonna have to call out sick to work...They'll have to understand cause it's insane outside~ And not only that, a whole bunch of other people had to call out sick too, so I'm not alone in my problem! ^^ Only sucky thing is, I need to work as many hours as I can!! I need money~~ I still have 4 more people to buy gifts for~ Ahh~ Stress..

Oh wow though, despite all the work and snow, I'm actually having a good time right now ^^ I'm sitting in a comfy computer chair, listening to the new Winter vacation in SM town album!!! Soo great!! I love how Moon Hee Jun sings "Winter Wonderland"~ ^^ And the SM Town song "Snowflake" was pretty good too~ I like the beginning part best ^^ And Kang Ta's song "Christmas Song" is in all ENGLISH! It was pretty cool to hear ^^ His english is good~ *applause for Kang Ta* I wanna see the music video for Snowflake~~!!

My feet are cold, so I'm gonna get goin' and put some socks on, and after that I'll either do some work on my Heart attack presentation (yeah right), or I'll watch Christmas specials ^^ (that sounds more like something I'd do with my snowed in Saturday, hehe)

Fino a domani~~

OHH, and before I go, I just wanna say I watched Degrassi, my favorite show last night, and the episode was GREAT! It ended too fast though~ Why!?!? Degrassi should be an hour long show!

Rate Your Cuteness!

hehehe, I found this quiz on my friend Marta's page...and SHE GOT A 1!!!! LoL! *points in Marta's face and laughs* HAHA! I guess this can only mean 1 thing, Marta... I'm cute and YOU'RE NOT!! hehehehehehehe XD j/k ^^

Anyhow today's been a very relaxing Sunday morning ^^ I'm actually thrilled cause I have NO work today at all!! NONE! The day is mine to waste as I please! ^^ My sis and I are discussing Christmas gifts and such so it's fun, I'm getting in the holiday spirit ^^ I LOVE buying Christmas gifts~ I actually already have 2 things for Marta all ready to be wrapped~ But I still gotta add one more thing!! ^^ Then I gotta get my family's gifts done! That's gonna be kinda rough, cause it's so hard to figure out what to get for them~ Mainly my brother and 2 older sisters.. my little sis Nina is easy to buy for ^^

I was supposed to go to the Museum of Sex with Selina this morning for extra credit, but I had to cancel because I was just too exhausted -.- *sigh* Yesterday was just SO horrible that I needed all the sleep I could get~ Plus I'm so low on money I doubt I could even afford a train ticket~ haha

I was working at the movie theater from 5:30-12:15.. which is fine, but I wasn't working in the box office *sobs* I was at the coffee bar. Actually, I was originally supposed to be on cart... that's where you wheel around a cart of popcorn and candy, and degrade yourself infront of the customers, and ask if they want to buy anything... it's just so horrible... haha...really, it is. But luckily I was able to switch with Jillian. So that made me glad... for a brief moment, cause then it got INSANELY busy! First off, the cappucino machine was broken, we didn't have any tea, no half and half (we never have it, but people keep asking!), I burned my hand with hot water cause someone was rushing me, I kept running out of coffee, cookies, sugar, ice, EVERYTHING! And it was so hard to restock cause there was such a long line! So every now and then I'd have to ask them to hold on for a sec, so I could at least start to make another pot of coffee, or refill the milk and sugar...etc etc... ughhhh...it was a nightmare! T-T Then finally we ran out of milk COMPLETELY...So the managers shut down the coffee bar, and I got to go home ^^ I was both thrilled and exhausted. hehe ^^

Now I'm just hangin' out, lougin' around... we might order something good for lunch ^^ (my Mom doesn't cook a lot, so we get a lotta take out etc. ) But hey, doesn't bother me ^^

I also wanna record Degrassi tonight! They're showing the ALL NEW episode that I missed last week! I must see it!! ^^ So I'm definitely looking foward to 8pm ^^ hehe ^^

Tomorrow I have Biology...hopefully it shouldn't be too torturous...I actually finished my assignment (I'm surprised too)...so I wont be up til 3 am trying to throw a well written paper together..thank goodness ^^

Well I've said all there is that needs to be said for now ^^ I'm gonna go be greedy and write a Christmas list! hehe ^^ Sayonara~

According to Quizilla, my strong point is sports~ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~~~ Allow me to say again... This is an outrage! haha ^^ If anyone knows me, they know I'm a terrible athelte. Gym teachers spend their days trying to do away with girls like me~ hehe, but anyhow, I saw this quiz on someone's site, I forget who, and the drawings were adorable, so I decided I'd take the quiz, and maybe I'd get a cute picture with an ACCURATE answer...but no, I get sports... I don't even know how it happened... I said I enjoyed taking naps, the color blue, and I couldn't live without makeup, and here, they say my strong point is sports *shrugs* I just don't know...

Anyway, I had a very nice and a very thankful Thanksgiving, thank you ^^ I ate turkey, homemade mashed potatos, stringbeans, and all that other Thanksgiving-like stuff..it was very good! And my sis made stuffed mushrooms too, and I like those ^^ So I was a happy girl...but then I had to go to work at 6!!! That so sucked!! But oh well, what can ya do... Hopefully I wont have to work Christmas or Christmas eve now.. Anyway, it was actually a little busy Thanksgiving night!! I was semi surprised! But yep...no matter what day it is, people always show up, and they always pretend to feel sorry that we're working on a holiday, but fact of the matter is, if they weren't seeing movies on holidays we wouldn't have to be working in the first place!..but hey, it's OK! work wasn't even so bad~ This girl I work with Kristin brought in cookies!! So I had some and they were great! ^^ I was working in the box office with Janine too, so that was fun, cause she's very talkative, so things are always interesting, and I'm never bored ^^

Now on to Friday, Friday was an AWESOME day! My friend Marta came home for Thanksgiving, and she was home Friday too, so we got to hang out!! We went to our usual restaurant for lunch (Green Tea Cafe), and it was good! But they made poor Marta's food way too spicy, and she wouldn't let me return it for her~ All she had to do was ask if they could make it a little less spicy... afterall, you shouldn't pay for a meal that sucks, as my father always says ^.~ uh oh, he's rubbing of on me~ ahhh! hehe ^^ Anyway, after the Green Tea, we hung out at her house for a bit which was fun! They're doing a whole bunch of remodeling and I can tell it's gonna look great!! I got to see Marta's adorable dog Sandy, and her disgruntled hamster, Lurinc (don't even try to pronounce it if you're not Hungarian..ahhh~ It's so hard to say~ haha! I'm still trying to master it..) I think his name is Hungarian for Lawrence though~ we also got to take some pics with the camera, and then we got some ice cream at Coldstone ^^ Gotta love cake batter ice cream!! Sooooo great!! ^^ And then we did a little shopping, and I went crazy and bought a whole bunch of cool earrings....haha...I seriously suck!! I should be buying my family some gifts!! Ahhh~ But those earrings~~ They NEEDED me to buy them!! *sigh* Don't worry! My family is next!! I'll be buying gifts for them like crazy come next week!! ^^ After the earring splurge, I had to drop Marta off home, cause I had work T-T but it was a great time Marta!! It was awesome seeing you again!!! ^^ ^^ ^^ I can't wait til you come home again for Christmas break in...2 WEEKS! Yessss!! 2 weeks and the semester is OVER my friends...OVER! FINITO, DONE WITH...FINISHED!!!!!!! *cheers*

Tomorrow I have the day off, but I think my friend Selina from my Human Sexuality class wants me to go with her to the Museum of Sex... yes, that's right, there really is a Museum of Sex... it's for extra credit, so I'm definitely in. The more A's the merrier... but I'm just so lazy!! I don't feel like waking up early to go to a museum~ I'd rather lie in my bed and sleep all day... haha, yeah, I know, pathetic...BUT, I said I'd go with her, so I will~ And it *should* be cool~ It will help our grades, and maybe it will be an exciting trip~ ^^

On a final note, I MISSED THE ALL NEW EPISODE of Degrassi because I had to work~~ *sobs* But my siblings filled me in ^^ But I still wanna see it!!!! I can't miss a Degrassi!! I know they're probably going to air it again tomorrow night... I just hope I'm home from the Museum by then~...I *should* be!! And if I am, I'll watch it and let you know how FABULOUS it was!

Well I'm all finished!!

Fino a domani ^^ hehe more like fino a prossimo settimana (until next week), hehe, I've been taking forever to write these days~ Blahh! So busy!

In other news, I'm finally back in the driving world... never thought I'd miss it... but I did~ So yeah, I can FINALLY drive myself to class and anywhere else I need to go now, so I'm absolutely THRILLED~ ^^

I had a biology test today that I was trying to study for during math...I don't think it helped much though -.- Man, that test was hard~ I had no clue what I was doing at all... but no one else in the class did either...so I suppose that should comfort me somewhat.. heh, I was first to finish the test, and everyone thought it was all because I was some sorta genius...little do they know, I just zoomed right through that thing and guessed on practically every other question...hehehe...yes, I'm a pathetic slacker... blaahhh... >.<

Wanna know what else happened?? I DROPPED badminton~ And to be honest I'm absolutely OVERJOYED! But you see, dropping badminton wasn't even my intention~ It was a Wednesday I believe, and I still had to rely on my sis for rides to school, and she COULD NOT find her keys anywhere! And we LOOKED! EVERYWHERE! I had no clue what she did with those damn things~ All I know is by the time she found em badminton class was OVER! And the coach said I was never allowed to be absent again or they would be consequences... and I didn't wanna have to go back to her class to find out what the hell these "consequences" were... so I called my advisor and begged her to let me drop the class...and she said yes ^^ So now I have Wednesdays OFF!! NO SCHOOL~!!! *cheers* Such fabulous news!!! So yes, my badminton free days have been great!..but I'll have to take yoga next semester to make up for it~ haha!...me taking a yoga class..oh boy..lets keep our fingers crossed I dont suck at that too...but you see at least this way I figure, if I do end up sucking, it's not gonna really bother anyone, cause yoga isn't competitive ^^ Ya see? ^^ I'm thinking!

Oh man, you wanna hear something awful?? I have to WORK on Thanksgiving!! How cruuuuel~!! But it's from 6-12...so it's not THAT bad... least I'll get to eat something... but still~ What about dessert?!?!?! *sniffles*

Well, there really isn't much more to say, things have been kinda dull these days...Although I did buy some awesome hoop earrings a few days back...I'm very happy with them ^^ I LOVE EARRINGS! The more earrings the merrier ^^ Anyhow, I'm going to take a nap, cause if I don't...I'll just....be very tired... heh...

Well, my car's a goner... completely done for. That's the bad news.. So for the past week my Dad's been looking for another car for me...and HE FOUND ONE! That's the good news!! ^^ It's the same kind of car as my last one, only 3 years newer and in MUCH better shape! Ahhh~ I love it! It has an automatic starter, and a pretty CD player that lights up cool!! YAAAYYYYY~ I'm just so thrilled! I spent my night decorating it with all my pretty kitty bobble heads, the Kirby toys I got from Wendy's (I double stick taped em on the dashboard~ they're great!!) and my Korean gayo pics and stickers and of course my stuffed animals and such ^^ Looks marvelous! So I am a very happy girl! I have a car again!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll be able to drive it TOMORROW!! *eyes sprakle with joy*

We had to go back to my old car to get all the stuff out of it course, and I was lucky enough to get all my bobble heads and other little things out without ruining them... but unfortunately, Pengi.. my plush penguin on a spring, was unable to unstick to the dashboard!!!! So I had to leave him behind *sobs* But I loved ya Pengi!! I got him in Flushing~ he was adorable.. and expensive at that.. BUT I bought him because I knew he'd look great in my car... but now he's sitting in the parking lot of WTC, abandoned...what can ya do~

Well, here's some interesting news... I FAILED my math test! 57%~ *gags* My grades in that class were 100%, and a 96%, and now THIS! AHHH!! It's all because I act like a freakin' senile old woman and get Tuesday mixed up with Thursday, so I didn't think we were having the test until next week...yada yada yada...point is I failed.. BUT, there is light at the end of my once damned tunnel~ I understand the new lesson REALLY well... so lets think about this... if I get a 100 on the next test and lets say a 96 or something on the final that counts twice...them my average will be... *gets out the calculater* 90.8!!! An A!! So lets hope I can acheive that goal... surely I can~ I'm dEtErMiNeD! ^^ ^^ ^^

My morning was quite typical...but the car ride to school made me laugh... You see, the same old basic things happen every morning...I have to wake up at the crack of f*ckin' dawn to take a shower, cause if I'm not out of the bathroom by 6, someone might have a heart attack...then I get dressed, have a quick breakfast, usually a delicious pop tart, or the equally wonderful eggo minis, apply make up, and wait for my sister to take me to school... Sounds harmless, but during this time total CHAOS unfolds~ My mom was making my sister Nina lunch for school, and she was kinda going out of control with the bologna, and then Nina goes "I hate it when you make the sandwiches so thick~" and that was the trigger button for my Mom that morning and she started yelling non stop..for the first 5 minutes there was some validity to what she was screaming about...but around the 10 minute mark, she was just incoherently shrieking about nothing really.. and then my Dad was pissed cause there was no coffee or something equally similar...maybe someone unplugged the coffee maker?? who even knows.. My bro was disappointed that the episode of "Mamas Family" he was watching was one he already saw, and my sis Lauren was pissed cause she couldn't find her college bill and without that bill she can't get a school ID, and without a school ID she cant register for next semester...so it was a whole bunch of shouting...but it quieted down, and it was finally just Lauren and I... She drove me to class, but on the way she was telling me about a dream she had...and that's the amusing part ^^

Lauren: Michelle...

Michelle: *Listening to music...can hear her, but pretends she can't*

Lauren: HEY MICHELLE

Michelle: *gives in and acknowledges her* Mm?

Lauren: You HAVE to hear about my dream~ I had a dream....I was the DEVIL! he just...possessed me...and I BECAME the Devil!! It was SO SCARY!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

the DEVIL possessed Lauren in a dream! Ha!!! What more of a hint do we NEED??? LoL!! hahahahahaha~ Oh and Lauren-zi if you're reading this, you know I'm only teasing! But it was hilarious! hahaha~

Michelle: So you've finally decided to reveal you true identity to me Lauren?

Lauren: I'm NOT the Devil, Michelle!

Suuuure this coming from a girl who, during the pig dissection lab in bio, THREW A PIG KIDNEY at a girl along with the word "Catch!!" cause she "didn't like her"....hehe...almost funny now that I think about it..hehehe~ ^^

She was disturbed about the dream actually, so I felt kinda bad laughing... but hey, I'm a sister, I'm allowed to mock and laugh... so I kept making fun of her, hehehehe ^^ But it was all in good fun! We all know Lauren isn't REALLY the Devil ^^....right?? haha, just playing Lauren!! I don't mean any of this~ Promise ^^

Well, I guess I best be on my way...I have to read more of the Bible for english class... *sobs* I've had ENOUGH of the Bible!!!! ENOUGH I tell you~!!!! But you wanna hear some good news??? I got a 108% on that english midterm~!!!! hahahahahaa!! Excelleeeeent~!!! ^^

Well...good bye for now~ ^.~

Then to make matters worse, I have badminton on Wednesdays...(I have that horrid class Mondays and Wednesdays from 8-9:15)...and the coach was a tad hostile to me today if I do say so myself... Now, I forget if I mentioned this, but I am not particularly gifted in the athletic region... as a matter of fact I suck at most sports... so why should badminton be any different?? Anyhow, I do always do my best, and it's really not that I can't return the birdie, or hit well or anything, I do that part just fine.. the problem is I just can't SERVE the damned thing!!! So that does suck, as far as getting points go... so basically we were all playing 15 point games (meaning when someone gets 15 points they win, and you move on to the next team)... and so since there were an odd # of girls, some people were subbing, and I was one of them... and so I played 2 games...and lost both of them! *disappointed sigh*...so the coach is like "You know, I partnered you off with WINNING players, and you STILL managed to LOSE!!! I expect you to try harder and actually MOVE on the court!" and I was like AHHHHH what the hell!? I *have* been moving!!!!! Honest to f*cking God, lady!! I've been moving!!!!! Damn her and her cruel words!! Oh, how I wanted to beat her with the racket to the point of unconsciousness, but no, I kept my cool..and simply said "I believe the problem here is I can't serve to save my life, not that I cant return or that I'm not moving on the court..cause I can do that fine.." and she just shrugged and left... so that was another element which contributed to my bad day...stupid lady...hurting my poor feelings like that...*sobs*

Next up, I come home... there's nothing on tv except Jerry Springer, and its about Moms that are sleeping with their daughters boyfriends... I only chose to watch these scumbags because I had nothing better to do with my time... I then made myself some cinnamon pop tarts, regardless of the fact that I've gained a trillion pounds and shouldn't be eating that crap, and ate my "healthy breakfast" while watching Springer... Then my Dad came home, and asked if I wanted to go out to lunch...I said I'd think about it... I went online for a little bit, and a friend of mine asked if I wanted to hang out for a bit... me being thrilled with an opportunity to get out of my house said "Sure! ^^" and he said he'd pick me up at 1:15pm... well... he calls back saying that there are carpet cleaners coming to his house...and maybe could we hang out at my house instead?... Fine by me. He says he'll be there in 5 minutes... and you know what???? HE NEVER SHOWED UP!!!!! WHAT THE F*CK?!?!?!?!?!?! *sobs* Damn it all!! People are so mean~~~ They just don't CARE~!!! How, HOW, does he have the audacity not to even CALL to say, "Hey, listen I found something better to do, see ya never~ Byeeee". At LEAST have the decency to CALL!!!!!!!! Ya know??! How on Earth does one obtain the NERVE to just NOT SHOW UP!?!?! *sniffles* It's cruel~ ..It made me very sad and was thus another element to my bad day~ -.-

I took a nap once I concluded he was never going to arrive... and usually my dog likes to nap in my room with me...fine...OK by me... but you see my family is very noisy so I closed my door...and just when I'm finally starting to fall asleep, my brat dog starts scratching on the door and crying!!! Probably cause she's hungry...I'm tired of her acting like a GLUTTON!!!! She should have some self control!!!! (yeah...I'm being a hyporite here, haha!) But its not my fault!! How would you like to be seconds away from a great sleep, only to be awaken by your glutton dog's scratching!!! So of couse you have to get out of bed to open the door for her...and then she'll run to the cabinet where we keep her treats and start wagging her tail and scatching, cause like I said, she's nothing more than a GLUTTON! ...(but I still love her~)...however she did annoy me... but anyhow, since I was awaken by the dog, I decided to have a small snack, and was munching on a rice krispy treat... my Mom walked past me... I said hello to her, she said hello back...I then foolishly asked... "Hey Mom, what's for dinner??" (Mom's hate to be asked this..and I should have known better!) cause she then yelled at me~~~ *sobs* and said she hates being asked that, and that I have to eat whatever she makes, whether I like it or not, and blah blah blah~~!!! I was just CURIOUS!!! *sobs* I didn't need to be yelled at and verbally ABUSED!!! AHHHH~!!! *sobs some more* The world is so cruel to meeeeee~~~

What else is going wrong...hmm... lets see... well, I have a check in my name for 0 that I cannot cash because I can't even DRIVE myself to the f*ckin' bank cause I have a piece of sh*t car~~!!!! I'll have to wait until one of my oh so kind and devoted family members has time to run to the bank -.- and I needed to stop at Ulta to buy some make up, and COULDN'T!...And you know what else?? The tv broke around 2:30-ish, so now I can't watch the non stop comedy block on TBS OR Degrassi on the-N!!!!! Why?!?!! WHY?!?!!

Everything just sucks! People are just too damned cruel, and inconsiderate, and not only that, I have a broken car, a broken tv, and a glutton dog!!!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, today's one of those days where you just DON'T wanna be me...

Lets close with a quiz~

You are Form 9, Vampire: The Undying. "And The Vampire was all that remained on
the blood drowned creation. She attempted to
regrow life from the dead. But as she was
about to give the breath of life, she was
consumed in the flame of The Phoenix and the
cycle began again." Some examples of the Vampire Form are Hades (Greek)
and Isis (Egyptian). The Vampire is associated with the concept of
death, the number 9, and the element of fire. Her sign is the eclipsed moon. As a member of Form 9, you are a very realistic
individual. You may be a little idealistic,
but you are very grounded and down to earth.
You realize that not everything lasts, but you
savor every minute of the good times. While
you may sometimes find yourself lonely, you
have strong ties with people that will never be
broken. Vampires are the best friends to have
because they are sensible.

Which Mythological Form Are You?

Very interesting indeed...

On Monday I cut badminton class because I was tired and didn't feel like torturing myself...BUT I did go to Biology. We were concluding the dissection of the pig...it really wasn't so bad... we were all used to the disgust of it all by now, so it wasn't really as horrifying or devistating....OH and I do have some good news!!! I got 100% on the pig practical!!! A 100%!!! in Biology!! How GREAT!! *wants to celebrate* Oh, and just to clarify.. the pig practical is when the Professor comes by and you identify 20 different organs/body parts of your pig to her... you know, so you just point to different parts and go "Here's the dorsal aorta *points* Here's the pulmonary trunk *points* Here's the liver *points*" etc. etc. etc.. So I was thrilled to get a good mark on that!! Cause the grade on my last lab practical suuuuucked. hehe ^^

In other news, my car is broken. A Quiznos sub opened here, and I was going to pick up some sandwiches for my bro, sis and I... well, I start the car and a light comes up saying "check gauges"...I don't know what this means... but continue to drive, because the Quiznos is sooo close to my house.. well, on my way, there is a hell of a lotta white smoke coming out of my car... and I mean a LOT... I have no clue whats wrong... but keep driving cause I was almost there... and I successfully make it to Quiznos, and get the subs.. well.. I try to drive home, and my car wont start!!!! It's dead!!! It's not working~!!!! So... not knowing what to do really, I figure I should call my Mom on a pay phone and tell her to pick me up. (Yes, I'm a moron and forgot to bring my cell phone... I never have it on me when I need it!!).. So I go to Chili's which is right next door..and ask if they have a pay phone.. the guy says they got rid of it cause no one was using it anymore...Damn it all!!! He told me to try the pet store... HA! As if they'd have a phone, I thought to myself... but I went inside, and asked if they had a phone I could use...and I suppose they saw the look of desperation on my face, cause they asked if it was an emergency..I replied yes, and they said "Well in that case, OK" and led me to their phone. I called my Mom, and she picked me up, but I had to leave my car in the parking lot.. When we got home my Dad got all pissed at me, but what the hell?!?! It wasn't my fault the car was broken!!! It's OLD! It's USED! What the hell does he expect?!? But the car is home now... My Dad woke me up at 8:30am to go to the parking lot with him to try and fix it....I was SOOOOOO annoyed, cause today I actually had an opportunity to sleep late, but he took that joy away from me, and my morning was spent watching him try and fix my car... well, 1 problem was I had no anti freeze left or something... oh, and there was another problem, I dont know what... but he fixed it enough so I could at least drive it home... but there was still a lotta smoke coming out of it... He says we have to take it somewhere to get fixed -.- So tomorrow my sis will have to drive me to badminton class *gags* I hate badminton... Anyhow that concludes my car story...nothing really exciting, just figured I'd tell ya about it ^^

Well, I'm gonna go take a nap now ^^ Fino a domani!! (Until tomorrow) ^.~

Days Until the Fall semester is over: 40 ...we're getting close!!

Days Until Christmas: 44 ...man, I gotta get some shopping done~~

Anyhow, I started my second gym course on Monday...yeah, I know, GYM COURSE! Why my college requires 2 gym credits..I shall never know.. Perhaps it's to make us all hate our lives just a bit more than we already do.. Either way wasting my time playing BADminton is just plain cruel! My badminton class SUCKS..hence the title of the entry.. I mean, I liked it fine when we had to play in high school, but the coach is so nuts!! She's this short semi old lady with short red hair, and a comical voice that I enjoy imitating... but she's crazy!! The smallest thing can set this woman off... this girl walked into the gym with a hooded sweatshirt, and she had her hood on, and the coach FLIPPED OUT, took it as a personal offense and said that the girl was disrespecting her... so that was crazy... And then, she marked this girl absent twice, and the girl simply said "Are you sure?? I haven't even been absent.." and the coach goes "ARE YOU TRYING TO START AN ARGUMENT WITH ME?!?! I'M NOT TRYIN' TO ARGUE, I'M JUST STATING THE FACTS!" and that was another insane outburts, and lastly, (this one's my favorite) We were doing stretches and exercises before playing, and this girl was all confused for some odd reason and wasn't following..so the coach got all pissed and said something insulting to her...I forget what exactly... but it was very funny, I was laughing for the whole day... wish I could remember what she said... but it was just so mean, and so unexpected that it was funny...and the girl still was having trouble with the exercises and she's like "WHAT DONT YOU UNDERSTAND?!" like the girl was the biggest idiot in the world~ And then the girl goes "I can't do it!" and the coach snaps back "If you cant cross your left leg over your right and touch your toes then there's something seriously wrong with you~" hahahahahahaha I know it's mean to laugh... but the coach's insensitivity is always shockingly amusing...and really now~ The exercises are very basic, so I have no clue why the girl was having trouble.. but still~ haha~ Perhaps the coach should sweeten her words a tad.. anyhow, the coach is a crazy woman who loves badminton more than anyone I know.. Oh yeah, and did I mention I SUCK at serving... it's pathetic.. I'm just plain awful..I always feel sorry when the people who actually have some skill have to play against me, I know deep down they're thinking "what a waste of time, she cant even hit the damn thing over the net!!!"... but you know something...I try!! Anyhow, enough of badminton...I hate it and am already counting the days until it's over.

You know...we dissected a PIG FETUS on Monday in biology class... and I, like an idiot, ate before class, cause I'm an idiot with a binge eating disorder who forgot about the pig lab, and almost THREW UP! It was DISGUSTING! Words cannot describe my utter repulsion towards that poor creature... I mean, I feel terrible for it...It's a fetus... it hasn't even been born~ And ughhh... it was just gross... We had to make this huge cut down the stomach and find the heart, lungs, instestines, etc... and then we had to BREAK IT'S JAW to find the epiglottis... Oh man, I was SO not breaking the jaw... So Marcus did it, and ughhh...it was just awful... But once the pig was all cut up and the jaw was already broken...it really wasn't....*so* bad... I guess you get used to the horror of it all after 2 hours of probing the damn thing... Anyway, this is a gruesome topic, so I'm going to change the subject ^^

I somehow hurt my legs... I don't know how... but they are SO SORE! It hurts to WALK! To go up and down stairs! To get in my car!! it just plain hurts~ And it feels like how you'd feel the day after you did some sort of intensive exercise with your legs, but you know me~~ I obviously haven't been exercising intensely~..or at all for that matter....hehe ^^ So I haven't a clue what caused my legs to feel this way, but I feel like an old lady~! You should see my get out of my car~ it's SAD! I'm walking at the pace of an ant, and god forbid I drop anything, it takes me a decade to pick it up cause my legs hurt so badly!! I hope it gets better!!!

Well, I'm going to take a nap now, and take a break from the stresses of being me ^^

Anyhow, not too much has been going on here really... School is ALMOST over!!!! I soooo can't wait for this semester to end! It has been absolute torture from DAY 1! 6 more weeks I think!!! And I've gotten 2 midterms outta the way...Math, and Human sexuality... Math I got an A on~ woo hoo~!!! And Human Sexuality I'm not sure yet... *prays she did decently* I think I did OK though...cause it was really a lot easier than the Professor made it out to be! I was cramming so much before that class, expecting some huge difficult exam, but it was so easy! (Now that I said that, watch me fail -.-) haha....So now, all I have left is my english midterm...and my biology midterm...*sobs* Biology's gonna be so HARD!!! And she has announced to the class that we all did pathetic on the lab practicals... hehe...uh oh ^^;; And even worse, on Monday...we're dissecting a pig fetus!!! *vomits* I swear, Christian's gonna be doing all the cutting, I'm just gonna watch! He wants to be a docotor anyway!! So he can have a ball..I'm so not cutting any pig fetus up...*gags*

Hmm....what else... OH! I have an eye infection!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, a variation of one, it's called a stye.. so basically what that does is, it makes my eye puffy and hurt every time I blink....which I can deal with for now I *guess* BUT the bad thing is...I can't wear ANY eye make up for the next 3 days~!!!!!!! *faints* Oh man... what am I gonna do at work?! At least I can wear lipstick~ But still! That suuuucks~!! It better be gone by Monday I tell you!!! I can't take this!!

Haha, Halloween was interesting.. I never really do anything on Halloween anyway, cause, I don't know...just not into it.. So I usually stay home, relax, watch tv, sleep, and eat all the Halloween candy ^^ haha~ Oh, and I also hand out candy to kids or whatever.. But this year, I was tired, and I looked like crap thanks to my stupid infected eye!! So I was napping ^^ And then all of a sudden I hear a little boy at the door going "Ma!! I rang the doorbell, but no one's answering!!!" And that alone cracked me up, because our doorbell has been broken for ages!! We even painted OVER it so people would get the hint that it doesn't WORK! Yet people still ring it... So I was too tired to get up and just ignored this child... but then he starts screaming...and I mean screaming "TRICK OR TREAT!!!! TRICK OR TREAT!!!..HELLOOOOOO, ANYONE HOOOOMEEEEE~!!!!!!!!!!!" And now I was annoyed... this kid was disturbing my peace!! And so the mom goes "Come on, I don't think anyone's home.." and then he starts yelling "But Ma!! I see candy inside!!! I see CANDY!!! I'm gonna run in and get it!!" of course the mother advises him not to and they leave... but before he leaves, I hear "This is the worst Halloween ever!!!" hahaha...wow... I really should have just woken up and given him candy... right?? hahaha! But I didn't feel like it!! I was tired!! When I told my sister that story, she's like "You're so MEAN!!!" haha~ But, doesn't anyone understand MY point of view??? I am an overworked college girl with an eye infection!! There are bigger things on my mind than handing out candy to children! I need my SLEEP! But if it makes you guys feel better from that point on, I got my lazy a** up when I heard someone knocking at the door and gave them candy... OK?? ^^ But the major humiliation of the night would have to have been when a huge group of my sister's friends came to the door, and I had to answer it... make-up less, and in an ugly oversized white sweater, and yellow pajama pants with blue clouds on them... hahaha...so embarrassing...I had no clue what to say to them even.. I was just kinda standing there like "Uhhh...you want...candy?" hahaha...

OHH, I finally made my schedule for Spring semester! ^^ I was actually worried that my advisor was gonna force me into taking on of her horrid classes, like "Comedies and Tragedies of Shakespeare" but she pretty much let me do what I want ^^ Probably cause it's my last semester ^^ But overall I ended up with some good classes!

Here are my classes ^^

*American Sign Language (I have been trying to get into that class for 3 WHOLE SEMESTERS! AND A SUMMER SESSION! It is miraculous that I finally got a spot in the class! I'm thrilled!)

*Autobiograpical Writing (Yeah, like anyone wants to hear about my life...haha~ I'll end up handing in a blank piece of paper and going "Yes...that is what I've been doing with myself for the last 19 years...NOTHING" haha... but on a more serious note, I like writing classes, so maybe it will be fun ^^)

*Intro to Acting (YAY!)

*20th Century Genocide (Depressing, yes...but my FAVORITE professor teaches it~!!)

*Astronomy (gotta take a sceince)

and lastly...

*Bowling.. (I have to take a gym -.- *sigh* It's not that I dont wanna bowl... it's more that I'm afraid of killing myself on the way to the alley...haha, I am such a paranoid cautious freak driver -.- *sigh* It's gotta change! Besides, everyone tells me bowlings so much fun, so perhaps it will be!)

And that's my schedule~ I'm actually pretty pleased! The only things I'm a little sad about are the fact that one of my classes falls on a Friday, and that I'm still afraid to go to the bowling alley ever since what happened last time I tried to drive there... (there was sooo much traffic, I had to wait a trillion years to make a left turn, and when I got to the alley it was like a senior citizen convention, and the bowling class WASN'T EVEN MEETING AT THE ALLEY CAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST DAY OF CLASSES AND NO ONE INFORMED ME WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET AT THE SCHOOL!...so I dropped it out of anger, hehe ^^..but yes, next semester will be different!)...and it's my LAST before I transfer! *sobs of joy* I'm almost DONE!!

Anyhow, that pretty much concludes what's been new with me...I've basically just been stressin' out over school, eating massive portions of Halloween candy, bein' a b*tch by not answering the door, humiliating myself, and getting my eye infected... Nothing glamourous and cool...just typical stuff for good ol' me..

OH, and I did get to watch an all new Degrassi on Friday!! And let me tell ya, it was AWESOME! I'm sooo sad that I'll have to wait all the way to November 28th to see another new episode though!! *sobs* Ohh, and I also have work at Loew's tonight from 5:30-12:15 *sobs again* Ohhhh, and then I have work again at Singelton's on Monday, and it's a sit down dinner, meaning I have to play waitress, and carry huge trays and take orders..*sobs even more*

My mom was pissing me off..

She keeps acting she and my Dad are being so nice by letting me transfer to a better school...and I'm thinking 'HELLO it was part of the DEAL! I go to community college for 2 years, you let me transfer to a better school!' ughhh...they keep treating me like a baby, and like I dont know anything... My mom keeps lecturing me about parties and campus rape like she actually knows what she's talking about and I want to kill her... I'm not a f*cking retard, just LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

But anyway...my sister, Mom and I were having lunch during this conversation...and since I was mad at her, I became bitter and sarcastic...

Mom: You know, I always used to wear my hair down...and I used to just love it when your father would brush it back for me...

Lauren: Aww, thats sweet..

Michelle: *cringes*...

[Silence throughout the room]

I decided I would annoy my mother and say something outrageous and random...

haha, I still don't know why I decided to say this, but I said...

Michelle: Well you know what I love?? I love it when guys pull my hair and tell me what a b*tch I am.

Mom: *stares at me horrified..* I hope not Michelle...

Lauren: Eww...do you really?

Michelle: No.. NO! I was kidding! Stop looking at me like that~ UGHH I hate you all... *is humiliated..*

*sigh* I give up..

Anyhow, nothing else has really been new with me. I worked at Loews last night, and they had me on door ripping tickets~!!! UGH!! How COULD they?!?!?! I was so bored and unhappy.. and it was so DEAD! No one was coming in~ And I REALLY wanted to watch 'Degrassi'!!! haha~ It's such an awesome show~!! And they were having an encore presentation of the season premiere, and I was gonna miss it, *sobs*... BUT thank GOD they decided to send people home, because I got to leave!!! But they sent me home at 9pm exactly, and that's what time the show started! So I rushed home like a maniac, only to realize the encore presentation is on at 10... hehe..oops ^^ But this was good, cause it gave me time to relax and eat some dinner... but my dinner sucked. I had this crappy canned soup... like campbells only worse... actually, it was a lot like Progresso soup, which I love, only it didn't taste like Progresso soup... it just looked like it... it was awful -.- So I stopped eating it after a few bites, and had some doritos instead...

And then I watched Degrassi!! And let me tell you it was great ^^ Emma finally met her father... but she was under the impression he was doctor.. but he was really a patient and her mother never told her! He had a bad accident and suffered severe brain damage.. and it was all just so surprising and crazy. Oh yeah, and Emma's mom finally had her baby... at HOME... jeez, how the hell do you do that?! Natural child birth.. I'd die.. I can bearly handle a blood test... but yeah..that was about it really.. Oh yeah, and Paige is going out with Spinner, and she's being a high maitenance b*tch.. I hope Spinner dumps her.

OHH! Guess what??? I got my Space-A CD from Music Plaza!!! And although I actually *received* my CD.. unlike Marta, haha... they sent me THE WRONG ONE!! I wanted the 2nd album, and they gave me the 3rd... so I was a little disappointed.. but once I listned to the 3rd, I was no longer disappointed cause it was AWESOME!!! I LOVE IT!!! 'specially song 13!! <3

Marta called me last night at 11:30, haha! Since I don't have much of a life these days, I was just about to go to bed, but I heard the phone ring, so I assumed it was for my sister... but it was for me, and it was Marta!!! Yay!! So we spent the night on the phone chatting, and laughing at Peter Pan... hahahahahahahahaha...

All you need is trust!

...and a little bit of Pixie Dust!!

And with that I bid you farewell..

Oh wait~ Let's close with a quiz!

You're Anzu's 'I've just been molested!' look. I
suggest looking for whoever is touching your
ass. Here's a hint, it may be someone who got
Honda's 'I'm going to molest you' look.

Which Yu-Gi-Oh Expression Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Hmm...interesting.. haha~ Gotta love Yu-Gi-Oh..

Anyhow, I'm off to do something more productive... like read 'The Iliad' perhaps?? HA! Yeah right... why read it, when I can get the synopsis online... hehe... yeah I know.. SLACKER... don't rub it in, I'm already aware of my flaws. It's not easy losing your enthusiasm.

Man, my feet are killing me...I just got home from work at Singletons... It's actually not that bad at all!!! So I'm thrilled. I got to have free chicken sorrentino and string beans for dinner too~ Yay!! ^^

You know, to be honest, I was actually expecting today to be AWFUL.. I had a math test this morning, and I was just so damn lazy and didn't review anything the night before (I was too busy watching Degrassi and laughing.. hehehe...seriously... I suggest you all watch this show... it's just so funny and dramatic! And so addiciting~!!! ahhhh so great ^^) Anyhow, in addition to worrying about failing my first math test, I also had to write an english paper, which I was also too lazy to do the night before... so I had a lotta work to do -.- BUT... much to my absolute surprise, it all turned out OK!! My math test wasn't NEARLY as difficult as I anticipated (..now watch me get a failing grade cause I said that...ha~), and I wrote a BRILLIANT english paper during my hour break... ahh... so happy. *gives herself a pat on the back* And then I was worried work at Singletons was gonna suck... but it didn't!! yaaaaaaay~!! So Ladies and Gentleman, I am happy to announce that Thursday was a success ^^ I made it alive. ha ^^ Only annoying thing about the day was the fact that in Biology class, we had to go and be lectured by the creepy librarian... totally SUCKS.. the librarian man is boring and crazy. We had to sit at computers while he taught us stuff we already knew... and then he made a mistake on the computer and refused to admit it was his fault...and said we all did it wrong and he was the only one who did it right....crazy fellow...But it's over now ^^ No more library ^^ I always hate those horrid library lectures they make you sit through... particularly during high school and middle school... it's really quite dull and irritating... it's like jeez, I know how to search for a freakin' book already... face it, your job is close to pointless... now GO AWAY!..hehe, sorry, that was mean ^^ I'm just sick of lame library lectures...

Anyhow, tomorrow I can sleep laaaaate~ Oh the joys ^^ I am so incredibly happy about this ^^ I love my sleep ^^

I would also like to say: HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREN~!!!!!! My sister Lauren is 22 years old today ^^ Hooray for Lauren~ I hope you have a splendid day sis..and even more, I hope I don't have to work so I can stay and celebrate ^^ ^^ ^^

Ohh! I also have more good news~ we're actually doing something nice in Biology, and going on a field trip to the aquarium~!! ^^ How nice ^^ And even better... my friend in the class Eva offered to drive me there~!! (cause we have to provide our own transportation...and I hate driving... so the moment she asked me if I wanted to go with her in her car I was like YESSS!!!) so how great is that~ Now I can go to the aquarium without the stress of driving there and getting lost ^^ Thank you Evaaaaa~!!!!

You know, strangely I'm actually kind of happy about the weather getting cold~ This means I can wear my cool winter coat!!!! Yaaaaay~ ^^ I love my winter coat~ It's so soft and nice and fun ^^ And I can wear sweaters too~ I love sweaters ^^ And snow!! So winter's great... BUT...I will admit, I do hate it when it snows now, only because I CANT DRIVE IN THE SNOW! It's absolutely insane~ It's soo slippery, and I always end up losing control of my car, and freaking out, and it's just plain horrible *sobs* My car has rear wheel drive too, so that makes it even worse..but hey, we got some time before it actually snows, so I'm not worried ^^

Oh God, at work on Friday, the sign that has all the movies and times on it can only fit "Once Upon a Tim" for the movie "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", cause the title's too long..and boy did that lead to some annoyances. Sooo many people kept going "Once Upon a Tim?? What's Once Upon a Tim?!" And it was just driving me nuts!!

I keep having these coughing fits... I feel kinda bad too cause I'm in the computer lab and I'm not the only one here... Hope I'm not bothering anyone~ hehe... Hey, have you ever had a cold during a test at school, and were thinking to your self 'Oh my God, I keep sniffling!! I'm driving everyone nuts, I know it!!' and then sneezing during a test sucks too, cause it's just so damn quiet, and when I sneeze I feel I'm disturbing the peace... but oh well... I gotta do what I gotta do. Haha! hey, a random memory just popped into my head~ Marta, remember when I had that really horrible cold at school and Ms. Nemeth refused to let me keep the box of tissues next to me, and instead I kept having to walk back up and get more and I just ended up using the whole box anyhow *sigh* Oh the inconvenience that woman put me through.. Haha ^^ I love Ms. Nemeth though~ She was the absolute BEST! One of my favorite high school teachers. She was really funny, and just plain COOL ^^

I'm really thirsty and hungry right now.. I think it's cause I got a little drunk last night, hehe ^^ That always seems to happen to me after I drink. I think it's normal for that to happen though... but yeah, being thirsty and hungry's the last thing I need, jeez, I'm getting so f*ckin' huge, haha... it's almost comical... I just look at myself in the mirror and laugh... my appearance is no longer sad to me, its funny...As a matter of fact I woke up this morning and just decided I wasn't going to put any effort into looking nice... I wasn't up to it... YET strangely, to be honest, I do actually look semi-decent today, so I'm pleased. But man, my Mom was going crazy on me this morning... I NEVER get to have any time in the bathroom, cause they're so many of us getting ready for school, or work or where ever the hell it is we have to go...and all I wanted to do was get a f*ckin' minute in the bathroom...I just needed to brush my teeth and comb my hair, but she starts flipping out and shrieking incoherent things, and annoying me.. so that wasn't cool... But oh well..my Mom's usually very nice and great, so I forgive her ^^ Oh and guess what~ She bought me Yu-Gi-Oh gogurt the other day.. hahaha... quite a strange surprise actually...cause when she asked me if there were any snacks I wanted in the house when she went out shopping, I said 'Pick up some strawberry yogurt if you can. I particularly like yogurt thats made for kids, cause it tastes sweeter." so I was expecting Trix Yogurt (which I love by the way) or maybe Danimals or something... but I got gogurt... haha... I've never tried it before... but I wasn't so keen on the concept of slurping yogurt out of a tube... but I tried it nonetheless, and the yogurt itself is actually very very good! So I'm happy, and now like the gogurt... which is great news ^^

Ohhh Martika and I got to talk on the phone last night!! super cool!! If you've ever tried to call my house, you know how difficult it is to actually get through... we have call waiting, but sometimes people don't like to pick it up...and sometimes when the phone rings we can't even find it, get frustrated, and don't bother (damn cordless is always disappearing!), and every now and then people say they tried calling and kept getting a busy signal which is odd, cause we have call waiting... strange stuff... but yeah, Marta said she'd call sometime at night, and when I heard the phone ring around 8:30 I knew it was probably her, and of course I couldn't find the phone ANYWHERE! So we're all looking all over the house for the stupid cordless, and then it's too late and the machine goes off... NOOOOOO~ haha~ I was so disappointed..BUT she called back, and we got to talk! Hooray~!! ^^ Good times ^^ I miss ya Martika~ But it was funny, her phone kept dying, and so I was explaining something to her, and then she didn't reply (cause her phone had died...but I didn't know this) and so when I heard the silence, I took it that she wasn't saying anything cause she was confused. Haha...I musta been on the phone with no one for like...5 minutes, before I realized her phone musta died.. hahaha... so embarrassing when you realize you're on the phone talking to no one -.-

Ohhhhh I'm listeing to this AWESOME Space A song~ I love them so much~ But it's so hard to find any of their CDs nowadays...most of them are out of print... so so sad *sniffles* However I did order their 3rd album from Music Plaza the other day ^^ They *apparently* have it in stock, but I can't trust them ever since they screwed Marta over, lol...all these Asian CD store websites screw Marta over for some reason actually..it's quite funny...like when YesAsia was giving her massive problems about sending them a money order that was short, hahaha!!! She had to go to Stop and Shop, humiliate herself by asking for another money order for one insignificant dollar, and delay the arrival of her order by waiting a week for them to receive the ...haha~ Or the time they sent her all of her CDs except 1.. and it was on the bill..they just plain forgot to include the CD.. so that sucked..haha... BUT what MusicPlaza did was false advertisement... they SAID they had Click-B's 3rd album, but days after Marta placed the order, they sent her an e-mail telling her they don't have the CD anymore... so she was very displeased cause the site says otherwise...so I hope the same thing doesn't happen to me~ I really want Space A's 3rd album~~

Anyhow, I have to go to Biology soon~!!!I don't wanna GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *sobs* But what can I do...schools school...

Anyone actually curious how my week has been since I last posted??

Well, either way I plan on telling you ^^

Tuesday: Ohhhhhh my God! The weather absolutely SUCKED! So rainy!! And wiiiiindy~!!!! So I had my morning math class I had to go to, and I was so not looking foward to going, only cause going to school when it's raining is just such a pain... I gotta go search for an umbrella (and the only one I can find is usually the scary purple one with the white polka dots)...and then I have to walk to my car in the cold rain and wind (I can't always park in front of my house cause there are just too many cars on the block)... then I drive to school, and then by the time I get to the school, the only spots left are all the way in the back row, and I have to walk to my class in the rain... so rainy days are never really enjoyable.. But anyhow, I arrived to school, got a spot in the back somewhere, and then started the journey to my math class, which was a long ways off...and the wind was CRAZY... my hair was going everywhere, and my umbrella kept doing that thing where it blows inside out... hmmm...do you know what I mean?? But yeah, it sucked... I was so glad when I finally got to class~ Math usually isn't so bad anyhow, so I just sat there, did the work, answered the problems... real easy basic stuff. My math class gets out at 9:45, and my next class isn't until 1, so I was like...'yeah, definitely going home and coming back later...' only...I didn't come back later! hahahaha ^^ I'm sucha slacker sometimes...I should really be disappointed in myself, but I'm just not. I only missed english, and all we do there is sit in a circle and discuss whatever book we're reading, and I just wasn't in the mood. I'm so sick of reading 'The Odyssey' it's not even funny -.- So basically after math class, I spent the day home, relaxin', watching some Dawson Creek DVDs...(gotta love Dawson & Pacey ^^) and I made myself some really good pizza rolls ^^ I love those~! So missing class turned out to be a good thing...I need a break every now and then~ A time where I can just relax and do unproductive things. ya know? ^^

Wednesday: Oh wow!! Wednesday was GREAT! I only have one class (aerobics), but I also had made plans to meet one of the international students I'm going to mentor, so to be honest, I was kinda worried it was going to turn out awful, and we'd have to nothing to say to eachother and she'd hate me... but that wasn't the case at all~ ^^ I had talked to her on the phone, and we made plans to meet in front of the library at 12. I have never seen her in person before though, so I wasn't sure how I'd know it was her. She said she's a short Japanese girl, and she'd be wearing baggy pants.. I told her I have long blonde hair, and a red bag... we both gave very very generic descriptions, so it was difficult for us to find eachother.. haha... and of course on the day I'm supposed to meet her, there were a ton of Japanese girls with baggy pants standing around the library!! lol.. just my luck, right? So it made it so hard for me...And I didn't feel like walking up to them going "Are you Tomoko?" (Tomoko's her name by the way ^^) only for them to say "Who the hell is Tomoko??" so I just stood there... hoping she'd approach me, and eventually she did, thank god, cause I was just never going to do it, haha ^^ I'm too scared of making a fool out of myself...yet somehow I always manage to anyway... so I guess it's senseless I even try to avoid the inevitable, hehe..but anyhow, Tomoko is SO COOL! She's really funny, and she dresses AWESOME! And we got to speak some Japanese!!! And she actually understood everything I said!! Yay! ^^ So much fun! I wrote her a letter in Japanese too, and she was so impressed with it!! I was so thrilled~ She liked my handwriting ^^ So it was great~ We got to talk about Japanese music, Japan, How there really isn't much to do on Long Island, etc. She's only been here 8 months, but her english was really great~ especially for someone who's only been here such a short time~ And she knows who ISSA HENTONA is!!! (Issa is the lead singer of DaPump, and I adore him!!!) So it was great to finally talk about Issa to someone who actually KNEW who I was talking about ^^ Marta knows who Issa is too... but she thinks he's weird, and ugly, so that's no fun T-T haha, anyhow, Tomoko & I are gonna hang out sometime ^^ We're glad, cause now, I can help her with her english, and she can help me with my Japanese. woo hoo~ ^^ So that turned out well.. and then I went home, and my Dad took me out to lunch ^^ I had some really good chicken soup and a turkey wrap ^^

Thursday: Thursday's my long day, cause I have 3 classes. Math, then Biology, then an hour break, then english class... so much of the day was spent at school.. Math was actually really hilarious.. there's this middle aged mother in my class, and she's always asking like...500 questions a minute... it drives us all crazy...but you see normally her questions are actually coherent... but on Thursday for some reason her questions were more like insane outburts...she wasn't understanding the lesson, and I think it was really starting to get to her... mentally. She started accusing the Professor of lying, and then she just starting screaming "BUT YOU SAID... YOU SAID IF THE TRUTH TABLE WAS ALL TRUE...THEN IT'S A TAUTOLOGY!!" and she sounded like she was on the verge of tears, so we're all staring at her, part curious, part confused, and part frightened.. And she just totally wasn't getting it so then the Professor started to get mad, and was like "YOU KNOW WHY YOU'RE NOT UNDERSTANDING IT?! BECAUSE YOU WONT ACCEPT IT!" and I don't know, but that statement alone just cracked me up... hahahaaha! "accepting" math... that's funny ^^ hahahahaha...sorry...I guess it was one of those things you had to be there for... but anywho.. after Math came Biology, which is basically a class spent watching the Professor try and get the projector to work... and when that doesn't work, she draws these sloppy horrid diagrams on the board, that no one can read or understand... and then she teaches us false information, and 20 minutes later goes... "wait... forget EVERYTHING I just told you..." I swear that class is gonna drive me insane... well maybe more insane.. haha ^^ Once Bio was over, I rushed to the library, because I still hadn't written my paper on "The Odyssey" and so I decided to do it during my hour worth of free time... Let me tell you, I wrote the crappiest paper of my life... hahaha... It's such BS... and it's just so dumb.. I read it over and laughed.. but handed it in anyway... I'll hope for the best, haha ^^ I mean, it's better than handing in nothing.. besides, my grades in that class are good~ 2 A's ^^ woo hoo~! When english came around, I handed in my crappy paper, and we all sat in a circle and talked about "The Odyssey".. nothing amazingly cool... And that was basically the school portion of my day..afterwards, I get home, and was starving cause I hadn't eaten all day...but my Dad drags me to Circuit City with him, and we were there for FOR 3 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what the hell happened, but there was this huge mixup, and all this crazy confusion, and we were there for an eternity... T-T I was so annoyed I had to go with him...he WASTED MY DAY! There's no such thing as going on a 'quick trip' with my Dad... cause he takes forever, wherever he goes, and not only that, he makes a million stops! Before we even stopped at Circuit City, we had to stop at 2 different banks~ And then after Circuit City he was in desperate need of a cup of coffee, so we had to stop at Starbucks~ But he bought me a frappucino so it was all good ^^ ..but still! So yeah, I got home around 6, lounged around the house, and that was Thursday...

Friday: I had the best sleep of my liiiiife~ ^^ No waking up early~ Got ready for my Human Sexuality class at 11..I endured it... It goes by pretty fast, so it's not that bad actually. We talked about menstrating, and PMSing and all that...so every girl in the class felt the need to raise her hand, and b*tch about what their cramps are like, and how b*tchy and overemotional they get. But I just doodled in the corner..as always ^^ I don't feel the need to raise my hand and to a big group of people, talk about my cramps and PMSing, thanks. So then that ended, and I picked up some black pants at Old Navy, and then went to get my nails done ^^ I love getting my nails done, cause I get to see my Korean friends! ^^ Nicole did my nails, and was telling me about how they're having a Choosok festival in Flushing this Saturday and that they're going to be A LOT of Korean stars there!! AHHHHHH~~~!!! I wanna GO!! But I don't know how to get there! And I don't have anyone who can take me, or would even wanna take me, cause none of my friends like Korean music T-T 'Cept for Marta, but she's in Pennsylvania.. So I guess I'll have to miss the awesome Korean festival. Oh well -.- Least HeeJun, Kang Ta or YunSuk weren't going to be there...then I'd feel sick about not going. Anyhow, on Friday I also started my new job!!! ^^ I work at Singletons.. in the catering department. At first I was so pissed I had to do catering, cause my Dad said he'd get me a job as a hostess, but catering was all they had left, so I was stuck -.- But now, I'm actually glad~ Cause it wasn't so bad!! And you make really good money ^^ And also, you can eat the food ^^ I'll never have to waste money on dinner again!! Yaaaay ^^ So it was great~ All the people there were really nice too~ ^^ And the party I did was small, so it wasn't overwhelming.. So, as of now, I'm liking the new job.. BUT it was only my first day... so we'll have to wait and see how things go ^^

And now brings me to Saturday...it's getting close to 2pm...nothing really has happened... Although I did get to watch the new season of MADE! I loooove that show! So funny~ Today's episode was about a geek that wanted to be transformed into a ladys man, haha ^^ I just love that show.. ^^ And I also saw this infomercial on this really awesome make-up kit!! My sister and I were dying to order it, haha... but deep down we know we'll probably never order it -.- I had a slice of leftover pizza for lunch, and now I'm on the computer relaxing. I'm surprised no one has kicked me off yet. I also have work at Loews today from 5:30-12:15..I hope it doesn't suck~ And on Sunday Marta and I are finally gonna get to talk on the phone~ Yay ^^ It's been ages~

Anyhow, today starts another week of stress, boredom and torture *sobs* I have aerobics and bio lab today... I so don't wanna go... Mondays SUUUUCK. Mainly cause of Biology. I hate it there. Hate it hate it hate it... Bio class is so LONG on Mondays~ 9:30-1:45 -.- *makes shooting herself gesture* Man, I feel like asking the Professor to hold on to my car keys, just so I don't feel tempted to go home during our 15 minute break... T-T But oh well... maybe it wont be SO bad... maybe those 4 hours will just fly by! hahahahaha.... OK, I'm losing it...lets move on...

I just had some cocoa pebbles for breakfast...I haven't had breakfast before school in ages, so it was kinda nice ^^ I also woke up at....4:50am!! haha!! How amazing!! You have no idea how much excess time to relax this gives me~ I'm all showered, dressed, and ready for my day and it's only 6:15am!! Ha~ Normally I get up around 6:15 ^^ So this is quite nice to be all ready for school so early. I can just lounge around my house, relax, go on the computer, and update the blog ^^ Splendid Splendid news.

Yesterday I was SUPPOSED to stay home, relax and get a phone call from Marta... BUT at 11:30 I was called into work *sobs* I reeeeeeeally didn't want to go..I was looking foward to staying home, watching Dawsons Creek DVDs, and chatting with Martika~!! But on the bright side working more will actually get me some damn moneeeeey~ -.- which I really need. Oh, and starting this week, I'll be taking a 2nd job at Singletons. They're going to train me this Friday.. Unfortunately I'm not very excited, cause I've already met some of the people there...and they're all these weird middle aged men... and one of them is a close talker, and I HATE thaaaat~ When I came in for my interview, he was asking me all these questions about my when I can work and such and he was practically talking on my face!! AHH! I just can't take it~!!! But hey, maybe the job will be cool.. Lets hope!! I do get paid an hour, which is way better than what I'm getting at the movie theater...so perhaps it will proove to be a good experience... I'll work, and actually have money to survive! ...wont that be pleasant?? ^^

On a side note, I have to call up the international students I'm supposed to mentor and I'm too scared to do it. I'm afraid they're going to be mean to me -.- Don't ask why, cause even I don't know...

Well, I guess that is all for now.. Lets close with a quiz!~

Cat Girl/Boy

What Anime Magical Creature Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Look at that~ I got Cat Girl Nuku Nuku~ She's so cooool~ ^^

>^..^<

OK, I'm done complaining ^^

Anyhow, I'm actually pretty thrilled because I was reeeeeally convinced that today was gonna suck, but it didn't! I thought we were going to have a quiz in Biology, but we didn't! And I had a paper due on books 1 and 5 of "The Odyssey" and I couldn't think of anything good to write..but at the last moment, thought of something brilliant ^^ And I had to go to a meeting for being a mentor to international students during my hour break... I had almost forgot I even signed up to do that..but I got a letter in the mail telling me about the meeting today, and to be truthful I kind of didn't wanna go...but at the bottom in big bold letters it said "The International Students are Counting on YOU!" haha, they did that so I'd feel guilty for not going~ But don't worry, I went ^^ And to be honest, I'm glad I did go~ It sounds cool ^^ We got a list of 5 students to mentor, and since I study Japanese, I got mostly Japanese students, which should be cool~ ^^ However, I am SOOOO jealous of this girl Doreen!! When the lady gave us our folders with the name of the students we have to mentor, I saw her list...and one of her students name's is...LEE MIN WOO~!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those of you who don't know about Korean music, you wont care...but I KNOW about Korean music! I CARE!! That boy has the exact same name as one of the singers of ShinHwa!! How cool is that?!?! I bet he's cute too~ Ahhh~ I wanna mentor Lee Min Woo!! I didn't get any Koreans on my list -.- I have 3 Japanese students, 1 Chinese, and the 5th I'm not sure of... but man, how lucky is Doreen?! Mentoring a Korean student with the same name as a pop star~ I wanna meet hiiiiim~ No fair! -.-

Eww~ I was looking at this CD, and I caught my reflection in the back of it..sick. AHHHH~ How did I go to school looking like that?!?!? UGH! It's because I have hardly any time to make myself look presentable in the morning!! And the damn wind!!! It makes my hair go everywhere!! I wish I knew how to style my hair nice. Some girls do the coolest things with their hair. I can bearly do a ponytail... it always looks all bumpy and messy... However, I can do a half ponytail pretty decently, and I can do that style like Baby Spice from the Spice Girls used to wear (haha, yeah I know, Spice girls...blast from the past...but I couldn't think of any other reference that would familiarize you with the hairstyle I'm talking about).. it's like a half ponytail, but with 2 pigtails instead of just one ponytail... God, I don't even know why I'm talking about this... Anyhow, yeah, I envy girls who can style their hair pretty. My sister Jen can do french braids and all these awesome hair styles~ So cooool~ ^^ Wish I had the ability.

My Mom's making potato soup today~!!! Yay ^^ Although it's not as awesome as Marta's mom's potato soup, it is indeed awesome, so I look foward to eating it ^^ I actually haven't had much to eat today (yes, I know, I'm surprised too) So I'm very hungry~

On Tuesdays, I only have math and english, which is nice, cause I can actually tolerate those classes. Math is terrific!!!(...I know, I never thought I'd say that either...) but I understand it all really well, and it's so easy for me!! ^^ Math...easy!! I can't believe it~ But it's true. So I'm thrilled. I also made a new friend in my math class~ She's very nice and cool and likes my handwriting ^^ So that makes me happy too ^^ And English I used to kind of dislike, but I don't anymore ^^ I finally got 'Gilgamesh' done and out of the way and handed in my paper.. and I was pleased because the Professor found my commentary to be very insightful!!! How wonderful~ She thinks I'm smart~! Hooray for me ^^

Hmmm..what else...Oh yes, I am getting very very tired of Biology...Sometimes I really don't mind it, but othertimes I just can't stand it, like yesterday. Yesterday sucked cause I didn't get to go to bed until late, therefore I got up late, had to go to school looking like crap, was late for my aerobics class...and then had to drag my exhausted a** to biology, only to sit and do NOTHING. Had I not been so insanely tired, I really wouldn't have minded, but I did NOT feel like staying awake for one of her pointless lectures. The lady hardly teaches, and so I just sit in the back and rot, while she plays around with the projector trying to get it to work. Yesterday then she brought in this CD rom thing..and made us watch water molecules...It was very dull, and pointless... -.- And I was having drastic trouble staying awake... my eyes kept involuntariliy closing... and so I made the decision..to cut lab!! I know, I feel terrible about it...but I just couldn't take it anymore~~ So the moment the lecture portion of the class ended, I was soooooooooo outta there. I had to take a nap, and there was no way I would have survived a lab class from 11-1:45~ I sooo wasn't in the mood for that...and so I left. I feel really bad about it too...I mean, I enjoyed lab last week and all..but I was just too tired... -.-

Anyhow, things here have been good. The Nassau Theater department is having auditions for "Guys and Dolls" soon, so I may try out ^^ It's been so long since I've been in a plaaay~ Ever since I've been in college I haven't tried out for anything cause I was worried it might affect my grades...but now I really want to, cause I miss being in plays, and I think I should be O.K. this semester as far as grades go. Math and English are going great, Aerobic and Human Sexuality should be easy "A"'s...so all I have to worry about really is Biology..I'm not sure what the Professor's tests are like yet...and I did miss a lab class...(that makes me feel like such a slaaaacker~!! ahh~ I regret it! But I needed that nap!! It was important!! You all would have done the same in my position~!!) Anyhow, I do hope the "Guys and Dolls" audition goes well, I do enjoy being in plays ^^ Soon it will be time to go to english class, and hopefully that will end really fast because after english I can finally go hoooome~!!! ^^

OH! I have some good news~ Grant got "Outside Castle" (H.O.T's 5th album) out of the CD player in my car!! For those of you who didn't know, the poor album has been STUCK in my CD player~ Every time I pressed eject, it said "NO DISC" and I was so sad, cause I LOVE "Outside Castle", and I really didn't want it to be trapped in my car forever. So when I went to hang out with Grant before he left for California, he fixed my CD player for me!! ^^ I love Grant~!!!! <3 So now I can listen to all the Korean pop I want, without worrying about a CD getting stuck or anything, cause he taught me what to do if it happens again! ^^ Yaaaaaay~ Nan haengbok hae yo~!! (I'm happy) ^^

I only have 2 classes on Mondays, Fitness Activity (which is like an aerobics class), and Biology, so that's pretty nice ^^ Anyhow, I was told the fitness activity class was going to be held in the auxilirary gym... wonderful...cept for the fact that I have no clue where the auxilirary gym is~ and instead of being smart and finding out before I left the class last week, I decided to be a loser and just ask some random person this morning, figuring I'd be able to find it no problem. Well ladies and gentleman I was wrong. I did ask someone, and they DID know where it was...however...the directions were bad, and I somehow ended up in the weight training room, haha ^^ Luckily I wasn't the only person lost, cause some girl who was in my class and recognized me, didn't know where to go either... so together we roamed the phys. ed. building in search of this auxilirary gym... and luckily some woman must have noticed how lost we were, asked if we were looking for the fitness activity class, and directed us to the right room ^^ Yaaaay~ ^^ Nice lady ^^ She saved the day. So all went very well. We weren't even late, and the class is pretty cool~ Just exercising to music, hehe. Maybe I'll even lose some weight.. wouldn't that be thrilling? haha.. like that will happen... but I can dream, can't I?? Anyhow.. the class let out early too! So I had time to run to the bookstore, and get my biology stuff, like the text book, lab manual, lab coat, goggles, and gloves.. Well, I got the lab coat, which I actually love by the way, cause when I wear it, I feel like a super intelligent scientist working on some cool experiment~ ^^ ^^ ^^ and then I got the goggles and gloves, and I picked up my math textbook too, which I needed... but then...I found my biology book and lab manual...they come together as a package..and it cost 160 dollars~!!!!! Ahhhh~ *sobs* A poor girl like me can't afford thaaaaaat~ Uggghhh~ I only had 100 dollars left, so now I'll have to wait til payday until I'll be able to buy the book..OR..I could beg Mom and Dad to lend me some cash, hehe ^^ Well, after my trip to the bookstore, I went to biology class, and it was FUN~ ^^ We did a lab today featuring SNAILS~ (hence the entry title) ^^ And it was actually a pretty cool lab. The snails were cute ^^ Anyhow, what you do is, take all these differernt items and predict whether the snail will go towards it, or not, make observations and stuff like that. Some of the items were: Orange juice, Vinegar, Honey, 409 cleaner, Banana, Tide, Pepper, etc. My group had a baby snaaail~ Which one of my lab partners KILLED by the way *cough* Christian *cough* >=( It was accident though...so I forgive him ^^ He was trying to put some 409 cleaner on the pietri dish with an eye dropper, and his hand must have slipped cause instead of going on the dish, it went on the snail, and the poor snail freaked out, his eyes went into his head, and then his body went into his shell, and all these bubbles and foam came out... and then he never came out of his shell again... *sniffles* Poor little guy... he was so cute and active for a snail.. and when we were measuring speed, and how far he went in a minute, he went the fastest of all the other snails~ But now, he is merely a memory T-T R.I.P Mr. Snail... you were very loveable...until Christian killed you. hehe, Anyhow, biology seems cool~ I like my lab group ^^ I don't know everyone's name yet, but they're all cool people ^^ And we're going to be taking a trip to the aquariam sometime~ haha~ I haven't been on a field trip in ages~~ Or maybe I have, and just forgot... hmm...

Anyhow, that was pretty much my day...went to school, came home, had a snack, did my homework, and now I'm here ^^ Oh~ But there is something I would like to say now that I think about it... This happens to me all the time, and I'm curious if I'm the only one... but when someone asks me what I want for Christmas, or what I want for my birthday, I can never think of a damn thing... but when Christmas and my birthday are a trillion years away, there are a trillion things I want~ Like right now, ahhhh~ So much I want these days~!! For starters, the "Demon Diary" manga volume 3 and "Confidential Confessions" volume 2 are out now... and I want thoooose~, and soon, 'Project S' will be releasing their CD~ And I already heard 2 of the tracks on Tsuyoko's forum~!! They're waaayyy cool~!!! ^^ They're really really good! Go Kang Ta, Hye Sung...and I *guess* Ji Hoon. haha ^^ So I really want the CD when it comes out (which is soon)~!! BUT..I'll have to wait til later -.- Oh yes, and since my Dad has noticed how poor I've been these days, he keeps trying to convince me to get a 2nd job, and I'm just tired of consistently saying 'No', so I may just give it a try. He can get me a job as a hostess at Singletons, so maybe I'll be working there soon, along with the movie theater job. haha, but wow..a new job~ Almost kind of exciting. Anyhow, that's all for now, I'm kinda tired... maybe I'll take a nap ^^

I set my alarm for 5:30am...(I only set it that early because I know I will be pressing the snooze button until 6:15) which was when I planned to get up and take a shower... Turns out I oversleep and wake up at 6:55.. I quickly take a shower, get all my things together, make sure I have my schedule and money with me and all that stuff, and then I notice...IT'S POURING RAIN OUTSIDE! Damn it, Damn it, Damn it... So I had to find an umbrella and run to my car...I left around 7:55..My class is at 8:30, and it only takes 15 minutes to get to the college from my house, so I'm thinking all is well... But then I realize I have no gas in my car!! So I get that done... no biggie...still have time... but...THERE WAS SO MUCH TRAFFIC!! There's never any traffic normally! Why TODAY!?!?! UGGHHHH~ It took me an HOUR to get there!! And when I finally got to good old Nassau Community College, there were NO PARKING SPOTS! Anywhere!!! I'm not even overexaggerating! It was a disaster!! Sooo many cars everywhere!!!! I almost got trapped in the parking lot by this idiotic man in a blue car too!...I wont go into detail on that one...just know it sucked. I already missed half of my first class...so I thought 'screw it, I've had it..' and drove home...

So I ended up missing my Math class~ Totally terrible -.- But not the end of the world considering you really don't do much on the first day anyway..but still... Now I had to figure out how I'd get to my english class without endangering my life by trying to park in that madhouse Nassau parking lot... So I was hoping maybe my Dad would be going that way and could drop me off to my 1pm english class...so I call his cell, and of all the days to go to New Jersey he picked today! The day I NEEDED him... *sigh* So I said thanks anyway and accepted the fact that I was a loser who was going to miss both of her classes... until I was talking to Grant online and he saved the daaaay~!!!! He offered to take me to school!!! ^^ Grant's the best!!! So I did make it to english class... and it was a GOOD english class!! So the day was NOT entirely terrible!! ...It was more of my attempts to successfully arrive and park at the school that were terrible...There was rain, and traffic, and so many moronic drivers!! *sobs* What's a girl supposed to do?!?!?!...So yes, I'm lucky Grant came to my rescue. but anyway, I think I should be able to get an A in my english course! It's English 311- Literary Masterworks 1...and the workload seems real easy! The Professor is real nice, and the type who's like "No answer can be wrong!" Only problem is, she loves class participation, and forces everyone to speak... ughh... I hate that... But it's OK! ^^ Our first book is called "Gilgamesh" weird name, I know... but it is very short, and so far, does seem very interesting, so I think I'll be OK!! ^^ English was my last class of the day, so then I had to wait an hour or 2 before my ride would come..not a big deal... but the weather outside just sucked!! And I don't know... there were all these weirdos standing in clusters all over the campus... quite creepy -.- I went to re-new my I.D. and instead of asking me if I wanted to get a new picture, they just assume I wanna keep the old one... so now I have an I.D. with a bad photo of me taken last year -.- *sigh* I hate that stupid picture...but oh well. After re-newing my I.D. I ventured to the bookstore, which surprisingly didn't have its typical line out the door, and picked up a copy of 'Gilgamesh'. After that, my ride finally came, and I went home, and just relaxed... never wanting to see Nassau again, but realizing I would have to tomorrow morning...

But today, which is my 2nd day of school, turned out GOOD! I got up on time, actually found my class, and all went really well! I only have one class on Wednesdays, and that's 'Fitness Activity' which is kind of like an aerobics class... It was really strange though... when you walk into the Phys.Ed. building they have this huge sign: 'First day of gym class meet in raquetball courts' and they have all these signs leading you to the right place...but when I finally got to the room I was supposed to be at and walked inside... it was so creepy!! It's a big room, and all white...everywhere; floor, ceiling, all 4 surrounding walls...all white~ looked like an insane asylum room...weeeeird... But a girl I work with was there! So that was cooool ^^ She's nice ^^

The lady that teaches the class looks a lot like the gym teacher, Ms. Krinsky from my high school, hehe ^^ But yeah...aerobics seems like it will be easy, and maybe even fun, so I'm a happy girl ^^ I got home nice and early too~ (That's what I love about morning classes...you have so much free time when you're done!!) So I watched some 'Family Guy', took a nap, updated my journal (obviously), and will be making brownies with my Mom in a little bit, for my sister and brother when they get home from school ^^ Today was my bro's first day of high school!! Hoped he liked it ^^ OH! I watched a little Jerry Springer today too... I swear, it just gets weirder and weirder... Today's show was about this guy who was cheating on his wife with a man...yeah, I know, what else is new...BUT this was no ordinary man...this was a man with one boob... Yes... one boob... Apparently he was born that way...and he was just so scaaaary!! Haha, At first I didn't realize he had one boob, but when he took off his shirt and half of his chest was censored out, I got real confused, and then the girl made some insulting comment regarding his one boob and then it all made sense...haha..Anyhow, I've pretty much said all that needs to be said...

Where did I go you ask??

Well every summer in late August my family and I go on vacation to Florida, so that's where I was ^^ And as much as I like it there, I am SO glad to finally be back home!! I missed my bed, and my dog, and the computer (sad...I know)... BUT I did have an awesome time~ ^^ This year we went to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, MGM, and Epcot. Very very cool ^^ I'll give you a summary of the trip~ ^^

The Flight Down to Florida...a.k.a. The worst flight ever -Ohhhhhh my God! The flight from New York to Florida SUCKED. Everything that could go wrong besides the plane actually crashing, went wrong.. First off, my mom is overly cautious and advises we get to the airport super early, incase it takes a long time to get our bags checked, and do all that other stuff, like go through the metal detector etc.... But the airport was seriously EMPTY! There were no lines~ So we were all set and ready to go 2 hours before the actual flight!! So we ended up just sitting in the airport waiting. And there was nothing to dooooo~ So I was forced to do the stuff I planned on doing on the actual plane~ Like, read my 'Chobits' manga, which was goood~ ^^ And listen to Moon Hee-jun's 'Legend' CD~ which I looooove~ *hugs Hee-jun* ...but you get tired of doing these things after 2 hours of waiting...so I was going insane with boredom... Just when we're finally getting close to the flight time, there is an announcement that our flight has been DELAYED, and we have to wait in the airport LONGER! I wanted to diiiieeee~ When it's finally boarding time, we end up sitting near these crying children, and a little girl who kept staring at my sister and I... and wouldn't STOP!! Once the crying children fell asleep, and that annoying little girl finally decided to keep her eyes to herself (thanks to Nina's brilliant scaring children tactics) things were actually doing decently... I managed to save my new 'FAKE' manga for the plane, and it was AWESOME~~ I loved the first volume, and the 2nd one was just as good~!!! I loooove it!!! I gotta buy the 3rd!! ^^ Can't wait til I have some money... hehe. Yeah, so I was happy for a brief moment thanks to that glorious manga... but then boredom, and hunger sank in... My sisters and I were starving, and the screaming children, being cramped in such a small space, and just the whole sucky situation was beginning to give me a headache... And I must say..the stewardesses wheeling the carts were wreckless.. They even ran over someones foot!!! *nods head in disapproval* Oh well... at least it wasn't my foot... hahaha... So yeah, they finally decide to sell food, and since my sisters and I were starving, we all reluctantly order a turkey sandwich from the lady expecting it to suck... but strangely, those were the best turkey sandwiches we ever had in our lives... haha... We'll never know if it was the hunger or the fact that it really was good, that made it so enjoyable... but that was one awesome turkey sandwich...and therefore the only good part about that flight... because the pilot all of a sudden goes "Attention, we are currently unable to land in Orlando at this time due to the thunderstorms, so we're going to circle around the area for a bit and wait until it's OK to land..." WELL... this was an unpleasant surprise... not to mention it felt like we were circling the area for an eternity!!!!!!! Then the pilot decided to land the plane in Daytona to get gas... So we're all just sitting in the plane, waiting to take off again... as hours pass!!!!!!!!!!! It was pure madness... I took a 3 o'clock flight to Orlando... it's SUPPOSED to take roughly 2 hours... And I ARRIVED in Florida around 7:15ish. TERRIBLE~!!!! But everything after the flight from hell went great!! ^^ So that's a plus.

The vacation itself- Wayyyy fun!! *claps hands with joy* We went to Universal Studios, which has changed a lot since the last time I've been there.. They changed the Jetsons ride into a Jimmy Neutron ride! Which I was actually kinda thrilled about because I love Jimmy Neutron far more than I could ever love George Jetson... but still in all... in a way I feel kinda bad that they changed the ride... but oh well, it's cool ^^ They also have a Shrek 3D ride now.. I've never seen Shrek before, but the ride was pretty cool. EXCEPT when the spider came out... OMG~!!! AHHHHHHHHHH... I closed my eyes... *shudders* It was a giant 3D nasty spider on the SCREEN! UGHHHH~!! hahaha... you know, my little brother refuses to wear his 3D glasses on any of the 3D rides... that's how much he hates 3D...hahahaha... it really bothers him. Besides that ride, we went on the 'Back to the Future Ride' which actually was real bad, because something went wrong, and you could see right through the screen, making everything look really fake and cheesy...But still a humorous and good time overall~ haha ^^ And the E.T ride!! Ohh man...what a letdown..hahaha. On the E.T ride, there's a part where E.T thanks you, so before you go on the ride, the person working there asks for your name.. So usually my family likes to come up with interesting or weird names for E.T...I always stick to Michelle though...keep it simple. My sister Nina however decided to go with....Harriet.. LoL...I approached her on that one, and was like... "Nina...why Harriet...?" and she's like "It's such an ugly name... I just had to..." hahahaha... My Dad tried to say his name was "Strider" (spelling?) He's apparently some character from Lord of the Rings I believe (I don't follow that, so I have no clue) And the lady gave him an attitude like she knew he was lying, and said that 'Strider' wasn't in the computer and it had to be a real name, blah blah... *sigh* Scuse him for trying to make the lame E.T. ride a little more interesting. Cause seriously, that ride was soooooo boring... EXCEPT for when you get to E.T's home land... then it's cool, cause there are all these pretty flowers and trees, and colors, and baby E.T's all over the place ^^ Very cool~ But God...they really do need to update that ride or something... cause other than seeing E.T.'s home, the ride is baaaaaaad. haha... We also went to Islands of Adventure which was AWESOME!!! I love it there!! I went on the Hulk again!! I loooove it~~ It's sooo much fun!! My sister Lauren and I finally convinced my sister Nina to come along with us, and she was so nervous, haha... but in the end, she realized she loves rollercoasters, and now I have converted yet another to the joys of rollercoasters ^^ We also went on the Dueling Dragons which was great~ And as always No LINE! So thrilling. I can go on cool rides with no wait~ Islands of Adventure's the best ^^ I wanted to go on Dr. Doom's Fearfall, but no one would go on with me ='( Cowards! Oh well ^^ Still was an awesome time!! ^^ MGM Studios was fun too. I finally got to go on the Rockin' Rollercoaster!! I've always wanted to go on that one! It was GREAT~ ^^ Lotta fun~ Not as intense as the Hulk, but still great ^^ My sisters managed to convince my bro to come on the ride with us, and GOD! He is just a first class complainer and whiner... Jeez... We're waiting on the line, and all he can do is stress, and complain, and scream things he shouldn't at the top of his lungs...like "The foreign man behind me keeps trying to cut me!!!!" Ahhhhhhh~ So embarrassing -.- Yet strangely humorous... hehehehe...But despite all his worrying, he LOVED the ride~ So I'm glad ^^ They take a pic of you on that ride too... and the look on my bro's face was so hilarious that we had to buy it... hahaha... We're still looking for the photo... Ever since we got home, so many of our things have been misplaced, or just plain missing. Another cool thing about MGM was Lauren and I got to go on the Tower of Terror again, and they changed it for the better!! There are a lot more drops now ^^ Makes me happy ^^ The final park we went to was Epcot.. Pretty fun. They made a new ride there called 'Mission Space' and my brother and I got to go on without any wait!! Yaaay~~ It was very cooool~ At first I was nervous, cause the ride is like flying in a spaceship, and they say each person has a specific job...so I was like "Watch me get stuck with being the pilot and ruin everything.." But luckily for my sake, I was the Commander... and instead a 5 year old girl named Daisy was the pilot... boy did I feel safe... hahaha... But yeah, it was coooool~ I expected it to feel like a rollercoaster, but it really doesn't~ It felt like...ahhh, can't explain it~ It was like, a lot of pressure going against you... very interesting ride!! We also went on TestTrack, which is always good..and then we visited the different countries. Of course in the Japanese pavilion my mom has to embarrass me and tell all the Japanese natives working there, that I know Japanese T-T Whyyyyy Mom?!?! Whyyyyyyyy?? Ahh~ They all wanted me to talk to them... and I only took Japanese for 2 semesters~ So it's not like my conversational Japanese is perfect~~ I can't speak fluently~!! -.- But I did manage to say a few sentences to them... and kindly dismiss myself before I would have to speak more.. haha...They had awesome stuff in that store though~!!!! GREAT place!! They had cool bags, and wallets, mangas, really great Japanese candy, Totoro stuff, Hello Kitty and other Sanrio items, Kimonos, and many other great things! The place was huge~ And since it was pouring rain outside, we got to stay in there for a long time ^^ Yay~ ^^ For lunch we ate at the Chinese restaurant and I had really good Sesame Chicken ^^ The waiter was funny... he'd refer to my brother as boy, and me as girl.. like he'd go "Girl, you want more soda??" and stuff like that, haha ^^ We ran into Winnie the Pooh and Tigger at the English Pavilion and surpri
