I don't think I talk about my relationship with Eric a lot, mainly because there isn't that much to talk about. We're both chill people just together for life's ride. But he said he would come down to SD this past Friday and stay for a few days until he had finals (his finals started Thursday). When he didn't come down as quickly as I would've liked, and after all the stuff that had to happen for him to come down, I got upset because I hadn't seen him in almost a month and I missed him. But he came down late late Friday (4am) and stayed until Wednesday, and it was just a really good couple of days even though I had finals and probably didn't do that well on two of them.
This weekend was just really nice because it showed me that despite how emotionless he can be sometimes, he really does miss me, and it's starting to hit him that he's leaving this summer for Japan, where he won't have me and everyone else in his life that he loves. I mean, I haven't been told "I love you" that many times in such a short amount of time before. It was nice :]
Saturday, my girls and I went to see this house that we really really want. We're calling it the Love Shack. But, the guy told us tonight that other people are interested, and we have to get on it if we really want the house, and we might have to pay for part of May if we want it, since some of the guys living there are bailing out. We're really attached, I think, and really really want the house. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=85580&id=619331775&l=0491b573b2 After seeing the Love Shack, we went out to breakfast. We came back to school, talked about the logistics of the house and such, and went our separate ways until dessert that night. I crawled into bed with Eric, who was sound asleep in my bed in SD, took a nap, then woke up and studied. The girls went to dessert with Christina and her mom and sister, both of whom came down to SD for Christina's sister's volleyball tournament. Eric and I had a little riff before that, so I got to the car kind of upset, but was over it by the time we got to the restaurant. And when I got back to my apartment, Eric and I were good again. He and I stayed up, had a dinner/snack dealie around midnight, and chilled before going to bed.
Sunday, Eric and I woke up for the Lakers game. We watched that, and I had to study a lot for my Spanish final (Monday) and O-Chem final (Tuesday). I didn't study for Physics (Monday) except to add to my five sheets of notes, which was probably a bad idea. I studied the whole day, and Eric chilled. When it was time for me to go to bed, I crawled into bed since my first final on Monday was at 8am. After a minute or two, I felt Eric crawl into bed next to me and start stroking my hair. IT WAS THE CUTEST THING EVER. Eric never does stuff like that. He's affectionate, but usually not too much. And before when I would go to sleep before him, he'd just let me go to bed while he did his own thing. But he stroked my hair until I fell asleep. After a while, I just told him to come to bed and sleep, which he did. He's so cute :]
Monday, I woke up bright and early for my 8am Physics final. I thought I did relatively well, but I got 11 out of 20, the average was 14, and the final counts for 40% of our grade :( I did relatively well on the quizzes, doing a little above average on them, and they count for 60% of our grade. It's whatever...I'll find out how I did, and hopefully I pass. I had Spanish later in the day, but I went back to my apartment and took a nap with Eric for a little. I think I did alright in Spanish, though I don't think I'll know how I did until TritonLink shows our grades. I spent the rest of the day studying for the bane of my existence, Organic Chemistry. I went to bed feeling iffy about it, but whatevs.
I woke up early on Tuesday to cram as many reactions into my brain as I could for Ochem. At some point during the day, I asked Eric why his computer screen was so dim, and he said it was so he wouldn't wake me up. I was confused; I thought he had gone to bed with me on Sunday night, not Monday night. He said that Monday night, after I got into bed, he got into bed with me and was reading on his computer. He dimmed the light so it wouldn't bother me. SO MUCH CUTE. I took my Ochem final and came out feeling whatever about it. I know I got a few wrong; I couldn't decide between two reagents, and I realized later I picked the wrong ones -_________- Whatevs. Afterwards, we went out with friends to Yogurt World and Panda Express, yum :] Frozen yogurt makes me happy haha. I was able to chill the rest of the night, though I felt like I should study for Bio, which was on Thursday. But I chilled and relaxed and was really happy because Eric decided to stay an extra night.
On Wednesday, I woke up with the intention to study and do laundry. Unfortunately, I got a late start. Thankfully, laundry went quickly since everyone was studying or going to bring home their laundry. Then, I studied Bio a lot. There was just so much to memorize, and my professor didn't tell us what to study for the final except for everything :/ Eric and I got dinner, watched Scrubs and Lost, and then he had to leave :( I was sad, but not to the point where I was sad!crying. It was happy!crying because I just felt so loved and wanted the past few days and because I was glad I got to have those days with him.
Today I took my Bio final, felt kinda shitty about it afterward because I knew I had missed a lot, and after looking at notes, realized I missed more. I think the best I could do is 240/300, and the final counts for 50% of our grade. joyyyy. After I hung out with friends before I had to leave. I made a new friend during the trip. I got home sweet home and watched the Lakers game and chilled with my family. It feels good to be home, but there's just so much I have to do.
To do:
[ ] Zoo with Denise and Whitney and Charleen
[ ] Hang out with Scott and Christeanna and Cameron?
[ ] Hang out with Eric and the boys
[ ] Hang out with Eric
[ ] Renew driver's license
[ ] Run a shit ton of errands that have been piling up since the last time I was home
[ ] Make a resume and look/apply for jobs, maybe even a summer one in SD?
[ ] Figure out housing and such for next year
and other things that I don't know about yet. yayyyyy spring break :]

| Random thoughts |
[ January 17th, 2009 | 8:12pm ] |
I saw Slumdog Millionaire today. Amaaaazing movie. It was sort of an emotional rollercoaster centered around life in an Indian slum, and the Indian version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", and loveeeeee :] And a bit of a Bollywood ending, haha. I would recommend this movie to everyone!
And I've come to the conclusion this past week that I am the person that people come to when they need someone. I'm very good at understanding people. I don't just feel for them, I feel what they feel. I'm pretty in sync with my emotions. I think it's also that I'm more comfortable with my friends. Yes, I lived with them last year, and yes, we're all best friends, but for some reason there was always something that prevented me from getting too close, as if I was afraid of getting hurt or left behind. But I think I've become very stable in my personality, my self, in the past year that it is much easier for me now to not just help people but allow myself to get closer, to let people in more. I feel that few people knew much about me before, and now my closest friends in SD are getting to see that side of me. I'm pretty glad that I am where I am now, emotionally, physically, etc. I feel very stable in my identity.
Also, there is almost never drama in my life. There is always drama in my friends' lives, so I'm sorta involved but not really. I'm glad that my life doesn't have drama. It just makes things that much more complicated.
School seems a little overwhelming. Mainly because of Spanish. I'm used to huge science lectures where grades are determined by midterm(s) and a final. But now, my Spanish class is really small, and we have oral presentations, and essays, and quizzes, and a midterm, and a final. It's not what I've gotten used to, but I feel like I have to deal with it since I'm in so far already.
I've been talking to one of my friends about her relationship with her boyfriend. It's been a subject of debate for a while now. She's finally realized they're in different places, but isn't sure if she can deal with a breakup. I hope that she does the right thing.
Eric's going to Japan for a year starting in July. I'm going to miss him so much.

One of my best friends told me today that, in a relationship, both parties should make each other better. She said that she knows our friend's relationship is doomed, another friend's is doomed down the road, and my relationship with Eric is the only one she approves of. It means a lot coming from the girl that disapproves of relationships :]

So I've decided that the night before my biggest final (OChem) is the best time to update this. It's been a while.
SD is treating me well, though school is sorta kicking me in the ass. I haven't been doing so well in OChem; it just doesn't really make sense :( Bio is decent; I have to study a bit for that before my final on Thursday. Physics, I feel like I'll do well. We get a sheet of notes, so I feel pretty confident. I'm also pretty freaked out about med school. I have to get on all that volunteering and research and getting to know professors and shit >:(
Thanksgiving break was too short. I wish I had more time to see people and spend time with them. Though I'll be home from Friday to January 4 :] Let's hang out!
Halloween was silly :] Eric and some Irvine friends came down, and I spent Halloween with 5 calendar firemen :D Good times that night.
I'm really glad for all the friends that I have. I've gotten really close to some people over the past year, and I can't be any more grateful that they are in my life. I'm looking forward to next school year, and the prospect of living with 8 of my close girlfriends :]

Good day :]
My mom gave me a pair of her old sunglasses, and I love them. And my family and I spent the afternoon at the Magic Castle in Hollywood :] Since I wanted to be a magician when I was little (I told myself part-time, so I could be a doctor, too), it was pretty amazing to go :] All the performers were amazing, even the Junior performer, who was 18. And, Irma, the piano-playing ghost is a tripppp; she takes requests, hates rap, plays angry music if you put your purse on her chair, and plays "You're welcome" when someone says thank you. Ahhhh, I want to go again, but to a night show, so I have to wait until I'm 21. Wheeeee, magiccc! haha

| X Games 14 -- Day 3, Saturday |
[ August 2nd, 2008 | 11:01pm ] |
Sooooo. X Games :] We got there when they opened the gates a little before 10, and fell in line at Subaru. We got autographs from Dave Mirra, Ken Block, and TRAVIS PASTRANA. omg. haha. My sister and I got airbrush tattoos. Got a bunch of random autographs to fill up the deck my sister bought. Got a bunch of random free stuff from the vendors and sponsors. My sister and I watched BMX Superpark. We were front row, and got to see Daniel Dhers. My sister got Sal Masekela's autograph there, and freaked out when Daniel Dhers waved to her. We would've gotten Daniel's autograph, but he walked away for the awards ceremony :/ We also would've stayed to watch Skate Superpark Elimination, but we didn't feel like watching anyone there. I decided at that point to just wait in front of the vert ramp where the BMX guys were practicing so I'd be ready for Skate Vert and Shaun White :] I made friends with the people next to me. One was a really nice guy, his first time at X Games. The other was a father and his son and daughter, who is also obsessed with Shaun White. BMX Vert was alright. During that time, my sister got autographs from Jeremy McGrath and was waiting in line for Ryan Sheckler [gag] but got cut off because there were a shitload of people in that line. Then Skate Vert started :] And Shaun was amazinggg. He came out with a new trick--the Armadillo. gahh, he's cute haha. He got third, and Pierre-Luc Gagnon [gag] got the gold. We tried to get Shaun's autograph after the competition, but he didn't do signings. On another bad note, I saw Shaun's childhood girlfriend/ex-girlfriend/perhaps current girlfriend. grrrrrrrrrr.
All in all, amazing day at the Home Depot Center :]
OH! While my sister and I were walking to the Superpark, this kid said to her "Excuse me? My friend here thinks you're beautiful." HAHAHAHAHA. She pretty much blew them off, which is totally my sister.

| X Games 14 -- Day 1, Thursday |
[ July 31st, 2008 | 11:56pm ] |
|
Sooooo. Went to X Games today at Staples Center. We started off the afternoon with the Skate Street Elimination across the street from Staples Center. My sister's need to see Ryan Sheckler was assuaged, haha. We also got to see Paul Rodriguez, Jereme Rogers, and Nyjah Houston skate :] I actually think going today would be better than going to the finals tomorrow, because we got to see 19 skaters as opposed to 5, and like, everyone's doing the best they can to get to those 5 spots. Then we went inside Staples Center for Skate Big Air and Moto Best Trick. Big Air was fucking intense like always. Danny Way returned to Big Air, and fell a couple of times, one time catching his ankle/shin on the lip of the ramp and falling all intense. Jake Brown came back and did not hurt anything :] Bob Burnquist was fucking intense and took the gold. And Moto Best Trick was kinda really intense. Scott Murray was close to landing the double backflip twice. DeChamp came and tried to do a front flip, which did not work. He fell and didn't come back for his second run at the advice of Travis Pastrana. Kyle Loza brought it and did the Electric Death. He launches, slips his legs through his arms, lets go and 360's his body. It all happened so fast that it pretty much looked like a seizure in the air, but multiple slo-mos told me otherwise haha. No one else really even came close to that. It was all just really intense, and I'm really excited now for Saturday with Shaun White at Skate Vert and Superpark :] yayyyyy Shaun <3

| WALL-E |
[ July 3rd, 2008 | 8:04pm ] |
I watched Wall-E today with Eric, and it was amazing! Right from the beginning, you could tell it wasn't really a kid movie, and I think that's what was great about it. It bashes consumerism, laziness, the rise of technology, not taking care of the Earth, etc etc. I can't get over how great it is :] It's not just a love story that the commercials make it to be. I highly suggest it to EVERYONE!! :] ...And, Wall-E's just adorable :]
I'm excited that Eric's home for the weekend :]
And...are we doing anything for tomorrow? Fireworks, perhaps??

Shitty officiating; fucking pathetic. Paul Pierce being a fucking pussy about a nonexistent injury. Leon Powe and his fucking sob story. I WANT TO WATCH BASKETBALL, not a fucking personal interest story; this isn't Lifetime, bitch! I hate that the media favors the Celtics. Boston took 38 free throws; the Lakers took 10. WTF. We came back from a fucking ridiculous deficit (24 points), and were down by 4, and we couldn't finish. We're coming back home, we're gonna make it work, we're gonna win the next four and show Boston's ass what it's about. Fucking Celdicks. fuckkkkk.
On the bright side, Kobe is a fucking superhero, and Eric would let me do him and be perfectly fine with it. And Sasha is a cutie :]

I hate holding everything inside.
I partly let it out.
It still doesn't feel as good.
I want to let this person know...but it'll hurt. make things awkward.
This person wouldn't know how to handle it. This person can't deal with conflict anyway.
Telling Eric doesn't help, because it's not the same as telling this person.
Disappointment sucks.
You think someone has the balls to man up to their actions.
When they don't, you lose respect.
And I can't tell this person that.
I still hate holding everything inside.

[ April 16th, 2008 | 2:34pm ] |
So basically...I had an awesome last week.
Monday and Tuesday were chill. I'm not really sure why they were awesome, but they were. And I finished my lab efficiently. so yay :]
Wednesday, Justin Riddle and his girlfriend surprised me by visiting UCSD! We showed them some res halls and the beach, and I swiped them for Fine Dining at Cafe V. And Eric surprised me! He was like, "I'm going to the Laker game tomorrow." I was like, "Wow, you're a bitch." "Well, it's against the Clippers, so it doesn't really matter but, yeah." "You're still a bitch." "I have an extra ticket. If you can get up here, I'll take you." So of course, I did :]
Thursday was crazy. I woke up with a cough that was a little worse and a bit of a headache, though it was bearable. I finished lab early and raced to the bus stop to catch the 3:33 train to Irvine. I got there early, and Eric picked me up. We got to Staples Center in less than two and a half hours in traffic--amazing. We went with his parents, and family friends and their kids. The kids were adorable! Celina, the daughter, was so cute! She's a Clippers fan, and sits away from her family yelling. I heard her like "What are you thinking! Open your eyes!" I want a daughter like her :] And the little boy was cute too :] We went back to Irvine that night and were up late because Jason, Nick, Ron, Ryan, and everyoneeee decided to chill in Eric's room because I was there.
Friday we woke up early to get me to the train station by 7. I got back to SD, like in my room in SD, by the time my first class started at 9. So I grabbed my stuff for class and ran, got there 10 minutes late, but my professor had just started to lecture, so yay :] I went to the necessary classes, then skipped my 1 and 3 pm lectures so I could take time to myself and chill, since I had been running around all day. Sarah and I took a bus with Emily to the train station. Our train was at 3:33, and it was full of loud children. Ryan picked me and Sarah up from the station since Sarah had class and he had to drop off Ashkon there anyway. Once we got to UCI, we had Erynn meet us at Lorien, Eric's hall. Erynn and Sarah went off until our Sonic run; I chilled with Jason until Eric got back from class. Jason, Eric, and I went to dinner, and I saw the twin of a friend here in SD. It was trippy. Oscar met up with us, and he stole 6 bananas from the dining hall, haha. We went back and watched the Laker game against New Orleans. Since we were up by 30 at the half, we went to Sonic: me, Eric, Jason, Sarah, and Erynn in one car; Nick, Molly, Jon, Oscar in another; Ryan, Ron, Tracey, and Wendy in the third. Sarah and I took fun pictures since it was our first time :] When we went back, we dropped off Sarah and Erynn at Erynn's room, and Jonathan set up a movie. Me, Jason, Eric, Jon, Tarrannum, Wendy, and maybe some more people I don't remember watched "Hero" with Jet Li. I wasn't paying attention for the first part because I was getting music off Jason's iPod. Then I fell asleep until the end, haha. But it wasn't so funny when I woke up. I woke up and my throat was killing me; it hurt to swallow my saliva :( Eric, Jason, and Ron started freaking out over me. Jason spoon-fed me cough syrup and called his parents. Ron took my temperature. Eric wanted to take me to the hospital, and Jason was so down to go. Ryan was the only one who believed me, that it was a cough gone wrong. Everyone else thought I had strep throat. But I calmed them down when it showed that I didn't have a fever. Everyone left Eric's room around 4. Jason said that if we were going to the hospital in the middle of the night to call him, because he wanted to go with us. And yeah. Eric and I crawled into bed around 430, and he took care of me because that's what boyfriends do.
Saturday, my voice sounded like that of a 50-year-old chain-smoking prostitute or diner waitress. Call me Flo. haha. Sarah came over since Erynn had a lacrosse game. She, Jason, Eric, and I went to lunch. We came back and watched the end of Cloverfield with some of Eric's friends. We played Rock Band, and set up Super Smash Bros Melee. Jason, Sarah, Jon, and Eric had the most INTENSE game while Oscar was Peach, haha. Later, we went to Mitsuwa: me, Eric, Jason, Erynn and Sarah in one car; Jon, Nick, Molly, Oscar, and Chris in another; Wendy, Tarrannum, Tracy, Tiffany, Aleks in another; Ryan, Ron, Jonathan, and I think two other people in a last car. It was crazy. I got ramune, almond crush Pocky, and this green tea with lychee. mmm, delicious. Later, we played more Melee and Rock Band, watched Katt Williams, and played STDs (sentences to drawings). That game is HILARIOUS! One started out "Courtney's voice sounds like a 50-year-old chain-smoking prostitute" and ended up "Oscar likes big titties." Another started out "Jon bitch" and ended up "Courtney and Eric do it from behind." They were funny :] We sat around talking for a while after, and went to bed around 4 again, haha.
Sunday, we started watching the Laker game, Sarah came over while Erynn had lacrosse all day. Jason told me that he attempted to make tea, and it turned out horrible, haha. I had been making him tea all weekend, since he had a cough, like me. He says my tea is delicious :] So I made tea for me, Jason, and Sarah. Jon, Oscar, Sarah, and Eric played one last game of Smash before we had to go, though it wasn't as epic as the other games. Jason and Eric took me and Sarah to the train station. We hit up Albertsons before so I could get medicine and Sarah could get food. We got there early, but the buses back to Solana Beach were crazy. We got on a bus that went straight from Irvine to Solana Beach, and it took less than an hour. We would've had to wait 45 minutes for the next bus to take us back to campus, but we ran into our friend Krishna, who was dropping his friend off at the train station. Convenient :] He offered to drive us back to campus. The rest of the day was chill.
Now, my chain-smoker voice is slowly going away, though I feel pretty light-headed right now and have been since about 3. I'm going home on Friday, though I don't get to see Eric. I have a lab report to finish for tomorrow, chem homework & quiz and a writing exercise for Friday, a rough draft of a paper and two midterms next week. gahhhhh, I'm going crazy right now. But life's good. And I love everyone. yay :]

Today was chill! Despite the time change. I woke up thinking I had already woken up...I dreamed that I woke up and started going about my day. Haha. So I got ready and went to breakfast with Christine, Annie, Hayley, and Devin. That was fun :] Hayley and Devin are so cute and silly together. Then I got back, and Sarah had woken up and gotten ready. We watched Troy for a little before heading out to UTC to shop! Yayyy! I got a cute yellow, polka-dot sweater; a yellow dress; an aqua beach-y dress; and cute underwear, haha. We got back and chilled. I got to talk to Eric :] I talked to my sister about retreat, which was pretty good for her :] She cried while reading the letter I wrote to her, and that made me feel really good since she never cries. The Lakers lost, which was bad :( But still. Sarah sent me 3 really amazing bumper stickers on Facebook: Jude from Across the Universe, a LOLcat, and the Little Rascals :] Rachel sent me a message telling me that she misses me, and that she saw Garrett, my sister, and my cousin. She also said that my cousin doesn't like how I don't communicate with him, but like, yeahh. It's weird. Just hearing something like that about Kevin. Gahhh. I'm in a good place. I'm happy. I just miss Eric a whole lot, but that's expected.

Except for the weekend of Feb. 8, I don't know when I'm gonna see Eric.
He's going to visit that weekend, but it's mostly for his internship, so I won't really see him during the day. I'm going home this weekend, but he's not because he want to stay in Irvine. He wanted me to visit, but I already told my parents that I'd go home. The next time I'm going home is the weekend after he visits. It's a three day weekend, All-Star Weekend, and One Year weekend. One year. And he's not going to be home; he's going to be in Arizona. After that, he's working for his internship on weekends. He'll be in Irvine over Spring Break and the summer. At this rate, I'm never gonna see him. Greatttttt.
But I'll be strong. Just had my little meltdown earlier. But I'm ok. I think. Yeah.

So last night, I was on the phone with Eric after he left my house. It was just for a couple of minutes around 2AM, and I told him I had a really bad stomachache. I figured I'd be ok in the morning, so I went to sleep soon after. I woke up about an hour later, around 3, to go to the bathroom. My stomachache was so bad that I couldn't fall back asleep. So I was sitting in the bathroom, and I was having trouble going, and I was dizzy, I felt like throwing up, and I heard ringing in my ears. I got up to wash my hands, and as I was drying my hands, I blacked out. I half-fell in the bathtub in the process. I got back up, thinking I would be ok, but apparently I wasn't, because I blacked out again in the hallway. My parents found me there, and my mom was like "we're going to the ER." So we went. We got there at like 345, waited for an hour until I got to the back and they took 4 thingies of blood and hooked me up to the IV. The lady who was working the front when we came in was doing rounds when I was in the back. She showed me how to work the tv, and gave me a warm blanket because I was cold [I couldn't wear my hoodie with the IV in]. The doctor came in after a while and said that this happens a lot actually. I blacked out because apparently, sometimes when you have trouble defecating, you hit the vagus nerve, which makes you lose oxygen and blood in your head, and thus makes you black out. He then said that they were gonna do an EKG just to make sure that nothing else was wrong. So they did after a little bit. They said I could go home, but forgot to take out the needle thingy for the IV. So the nurse came back for that. I left the ER around 730.
I'm still like really tired after sleeping in the car on the way to school and taking a nap here. gah.

| Christmas!! |
[ December 25th, 2007 | 10:43pm ] |
I LOVE MY FAMILY.
Christmas Eve at my uncle's house was interesting :] Drunk older cousins and their friend singing karaoke is hilarious, lol. I got money, which was good. And cute tote bag (haha, not like I have enough) with that little angry Asian cartoon girl. And I just love spending time with the family. I love my cousins :]
When I woke up this morning, my sister and I started opening presents. From Eric I got a Lakers sign and towel, and a UCLA hot and pennant. My mommy got me a Volcom jacket and a cute shirt. My daddy got me a Lakers calendar. My sister got me speakers/dock thingy for my iPod. My sister was really hoping for a Wii, but only got games and a Wii-mote (my dad's logic was that she'll be ready once they could get the system). So then we went to church and my aunt's house. My youngest cousins got a Wii, which made my sister kinda sad, which was kinda funny to watch, lol. My younger cousins got a PS3, and it's pretty cool. We chilled there for a while with the family and watched the Laker game and whatnot. Then we had to run home before going off to my cousin's house.
Upon arriving home, my sister went to the bathroom, but I headed to the living room. But in the way was a box, just sitting there, all wrapped up that said "To Courtney and Brittany. We love you! Love, Mom and Dad." And lo and behold, we got a Wii :] Unfortunately, we couldn't play with it because we had to go to my cousin's. But we were still excited, haha.
At my cousin's, we chilled mostly. Watched the nieces and nephews play video games and be all cute. Cheska and I got to participate in the White Elephant gift exchange thingy. I got a Hello Kitty pitcher and salt and pepper shaker, haha. It's just really funny watching what everyone gets and seeing them switch.
Now we're home, and I'm just loving life :] Love you all! Hope you all had a really amazing holiday season :]

I am in SUCH a happy place right now, haha. Even though it's finals week. I woke up this morning/afternoon and went to get food with Sarah. The salad lady made me adobo with my salad :D yayyyy. Then I took a mini-nap before a Beatles review session and had a trippy dream. Beatles review session was amazing because my cuuuuuuute professor and I brushed shoulders. And Christine, Sarah, and I sat front and center on the floor in front of him. Haha. And the twitchy guy amused us. I took another mini-nap before our Beatles final, which I think I did pretty well on. And my and Sarah's cute TA said that she and I were awesome for contributing a lot to class :] We got back and did Secret Santa! I got the most awesome POKEMON PJ's. OMG, I freaked out haha. Sarah was my Secret Santa :] Everyone loved what their Secret Santa got them. Then our whole suite went out for dinner/dessert. I got Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch and almost finished the pint with a little help from my friends (OMG Beatles reference! haha). And I still have adobo that I need to eat, but I'll probably eat it tomorrow. And I'm wearing my Pokemon pj's right now, haha. They make me feel really awesome. And I have three more finals, one of which I am so prepared for, two that I still need to hardcore study for. And I'm so excited to go home on Saturday morning!!! Yay!
And Jetman is amazing :)

Sooooo. yeah. I know I've been saying that everything is good. But not so much right now. Chem is a bitch for me. I just got a C on my first midterm in that class. I have another one next week. I can either keep the average of my two quiz grades [one's a B+, the other is shitty, because I took it earlier, and screwed up the charge of carbonate. So I'm hoping for partial credit], or one midterm, to make my final grade. So my final grade in that class will be final test + one midterm + (midterm or quizzes). I'm hoping for a B in that class, because I feel shitty about it now. And I'm going to study so hardcore this weekend for that midterm.
Another shitty thing. Eric's going to be studying abroad for two years most likely: a year in Japan, and another in Spain. I was hoping to spend a semester in Spain with him, because I'm thinking of minoring in Spanish. But I mentioned it to my mom yesterday, and she only wants me to study abroad during the summer. which is shitty. She says that a semester is too long. WTF, yo. So if I don't get to go for a semester, it's likely that I'll have to go two years without seeing Eric. Another thing that's both good and shitty, Eric got an internship with this realty business, I think. And that's totally great, I'm so proud of him :] But he's going to have to work over spring break and summer vacation. In Orange County. [He was like, "Live with me over the summer :)"] And I'll be in SCV then. And his coursework will be slightly heavier winter quarter, so he won't be as stressed spring quarter when he's doing all that. So I won't see him that much, since he won't be going home often. I'll probably visit him in Irvine a lot during the school year if he can't visit me. And I'm trying to be strong through this, really, I am. Ack.
And one of my roommates one of my suitemates are sickkkkk. Christina and Annie have been sick since about Sunday, I think. But Annie is/was so much worse. Sarah, my other roommate, and DC are sorta sick. Hayley got a little sick this morning. And I have a cough/sore throat. Of the ten of us, there's only three who aren't sick, haha.
The only thing that gets me through sometimes is knowing that I'll see Eric soon--Thanksgiving weekend. And the weekend after Thanksgiving, he's planning to visit here, which makes me happy beyond belief. He makes me happy beyond belief. I love him. And I miss him. So much. Probably too much.
Things that made my day: talking to Eric [even though the news about the internship made me sad], the dude at OVT with the INTENSE facial hair and funny way of chewing, Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch [I finished a pint by myself], and a Disney Princess Royal Chocolate Bar [a surprise from my RA for reading the newsletter and replying quickly].

So I miss Eric, haha. He and Bozzy are in Japan for the weekend, and I haven't heard his voice since Thursday night. Which really isn't much time, now that I think about it. But I'm not really used to that. And I was just sitting here missing him and thinking about that last phone call. And it was tons of fun :] Him and Bozzy driving up to Santa Clarita from Irvine late at night, and me in SD on the phone with my baby. Random, random conversations, chisme, waking up Christina at midnight, chisme, having to stop so Eric could go to the bathroom, more chisme, Bozzy's chisme. haha. I love those two.

So there's fires really not that far from me at UCSD. Like, the evacuation zone is like four miles from us, and the fires are like 10-20 miles from us. Shitty.

Mmm, home feels good. It's my first visit back to SCV :] I got here yesterday night, and I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon. My daddy went to pick up Eric, then they both came to pick up me :] Eric and I got to hang out today, and that was amazing, as it usually is. He gave me my ring today :D He surprised me, because he had told me that it didn't come on time because they messed up the order. But they didn't, and my ring is perfect, but a little loose. haha. And he and I went shopping for my mom's birthday present. I got her a bunch of candles on a tray dealie...and the only reason I wanted to get her candles was because I found a Cinnabon flavored one, haha. And I got a new, pretty cell phone! Uhm, I don't know what else is going on with my life...except that I have homework due on Monday, so I should probably do that ;] Love you all!
