If I could only understand French,
then I'd be able to watch Amelie and knit

a weird day ensues
So from the time I woke up today till even now, I still feel out of it.
I took a long nap today as well to catch up on sleep from staying up late.
I guess my body is telling me that I'm just not as young as I used to be anymore.
Staying up that late and even sleeping in did not really go in for a speedy recovery.
I felt like my head was kind of swimming in a bowl of jello the whole day. There was no buzzing in my head, it wasn't a hangover. There was no headache right above the eyes, it wasn't a cold. There was no real dizziness, my new eyeglass prescription barely changed from the old one.
So I really don't know what this is.
I have been eating, I'm not low on sugar. I have been drinking water.
I just hope that this weird funk that I am in goes away fast.
I think I'll take a quick nap to prepare for this evening.
In other news, Spring Break!!!
Let's start planning lunch dates and such ^_^

REM cycle
so this morning I suddenly woke up, checked the clock, called Stormwind to see if he was awake already because he has class at 9:30.
*ring ring*
*a regular wake up call*
but it's during this time that I'm going WHOA o.O?
I couldn't really control the movement of my eyes.
And my eyes were going making quick short lines,one line next to another line then all over again on a new row, row after row.
Well that was weird.
So I immediately closed my eyes again and went back to sleep.
DID I JUST EXPERIENCE A REM CYCLE WHILE I WAS AWAKE??!!
or maybe I'm still asleep and think I'm awake :P
because that's where you get your most vivid dreams, during a REM cycle. :P
speaking of dreams. I had 3 really odd dreams the other night. i woke up 3 times in a row, one dream right after another, every hour.
But i'm not going to go into them, they weren't that interesting to me. I miss dreaming like I used to with babies coming out of oranges and where octopus can fly and shape shift into other things. Those were the good old days.
BTW don't worry, I've never been under the influence when I had those dreams. But I kept thinking back then, maybe one of those dreams would give me inspiration and be great enough to turn it into a novel. Being a creative writer would always be cool, just like understanding physics, that would be very cool.
yeah, i probably did not experience a REM cycle awake, but whatever that was, it was a bit frightening, not being able to control where you wanted to look. I'm just glad that when I opened my eyes, the paintbrush/typewriter effect was gone.
Now onto the rest of my Tuesday.
It's WEEK 10!!!
good luck!!!!

hello?
It's 10 minutes to 9:00pm on a Monday.
I decided to call home then, otherwise I wouldn't be able to talk to them for another whole hour later because it's Heroes on Mondays at 9 of course.
*presses 5 on my cell phone, it's my speed dial for HOME*
*ring* *ring* *ring*
GUY ANSWERS: Hello
ME: hello?
GUY: hello!
o.O?? by this time I double back, take a good luck at my cell phone to check if I actually dialed HOME. Yep, it says I dialed home. But it's a GUY answering my home phone?! It's not my dad, he has work at that time. And after my dad, there's no other GUY that is EVER at my house.
ME: mmm Is this the **Tower Residence?
GUY: yes it is.
Who could this guy be?! It's not my uncle who lives in Temecula.
But Oh MY GOSH
ME: UNCLE BRIAN?!!???
UNCLE: yes, hahaha. you seemed quite confused.
ME: yes, i was confused, a guy answered my house phone :P. I didn't know you were visiting.
UNCLE: Neither did your other sister, she saw me and was wondering why I was there.
me: yeah, how did you get there?
uncle: oh I drove here.
ME: yeah, I don't believe that. (he lives in New Jersey, the other side of the country, the side where you can see the Atlantic Ocean, sure he drived to California).
uncle: I did, you can go ask your mom and uncle Temecula.
ME: what?!!! o.O???
UNCLE: yes, one of my friends from NJ is moving out here in CA and was wondering if me and another friend would like to come along and help in driving.
ME: wow. [he actually did drive all the way across the country!]

it's finally hit me
It's finally hit me that I complain and whine too much.
And now that it's already way into the season of Lent.
I will just try this on my own and hopefully it'll last for more than 40 days.
I will try to make sure that if I complain, I can only complain once that day, so I'm definitely going to need to pick and choose my battles so to speak :P.
Or possibly trying to turn my complaint into something else.
Saying, 'why is it SO cold?' is a complaint.
but saying 'i am cold' or 'it is cold' is a statement.
Good luck to you trimester people.
Good luck on studying.
and
Good luck on finals.

party?
crazy things happen when there are drunk people around you.
i wasn't even at the party for that long either, 10 minutes at the most.
I left early because the birthday girl was partied out already by the time I got there.
There were other people there that I knew but I didn't feel like being very social today. Maybe it was because there was so many people in such a small space that you couldn't really move. Or maybe it was because all the people that I did know were huddled around the birthday boy who was on the living room. He's going to be pretty happy in the morning, he was badly doodled with sharpie marker all over his body.
I think I'm party shy or more like awkward turtle at parties. I find them all really uncomfortable but that's probably because I always only know a tiny fraction of all the party goers or because I don't loosen myself with drink.
But for some reason, I feel that if I went to ucsb, it'd be a completely different story. I think I feel that way because I know I'd have a good party buddy everytime.
I guess it's events like those that make me feel a little lonely and always point out to me that Gaucho isn't there with me.
I really can't wait for spring break so I can finally see him and all of good friends. But I know I shouldn't blind sight myself because I first to need to study and get through this quarter.
I've definitely learned a lot from this quarter:
1. do not take over 16 units if they are all science classes. twas a mistake to take 19 units of chem and bio and biomedical engineering and physics plus labs.
2. do not put 2 labs in one day
3. do not schedule labs on wednesday nights because those are the days that the campus shows free movies
4. my bed is my weakness
5. reading should be attempted everyday no matter what
6. read read read
7. i wanted to double major but i will not be able to because bio students here only get 4 years
8. my current goal is to graduate as early as possible
9. going home should be capped to 4 times a quarter.
10. i get jealous of the other things people have, like how they know where they're going, or that there boyfriend goes to the same school as them and sits with them in their girlfriend's lecture that i'm also in so i can't avoid seeing it, but a good friend told me that i can't look at that but i have to look at what makes me special. when i breakdown i have low self-esteem. but one thing i think that makes me special is that i know that my relationship is strong because we've been able to handle the long distance.
11. i really enjoy having my own room. it gets so messy during the week and i'm actually kind of glad that i don't have to worry if i leave a pair of pants on my bed.
12. my productivity goes down to zero when i decide to take a break on my bed
