POOPIE. AFTER midterms.

hahah. technically one month and two days. so ive been at northwestern for FOUR weeks. hahah. it feels like ive been here FOREVER dude. hahah. im getting around better now, no more getting lost-ness. hahahha. anywho. i should be studying for midterms, but i guess im kind of taking a breather and forcing myself to write something for the next ten minutes. so i have my econ midterm on monday... hahahha.. and then on sunday i have dinner with 12 strangers, gsw & the kellogg thing. basically fml. hahah. but i think i'll be fine for econ since basically all we've ever learned so far is supply and demand. hahah. yay supply and demand. but i really need to study for ea and math. the last ea assignment took a whole life time to do. it sucked. lol. it was so difficult. sheesh. i wish i had programming experience because i feel like that would make my life so much easier. hahahh. edc is going well, we did user observation and client interview, and i feel like i have so much going on every single day. ive started working in the lab in the civil and environmental engineering department. i love it there even though i only wash dishes and beakers, i am having such a great time.. hahah. that seems weird, but i am. i mean, who else gets to work in a lab that smells like ice cream. yeah. that's right. hahahha. ohhhh. i went to the john legend concert last friday. it was incredibly amazing!!!! omg. hahaha. i touched him. im such a dork. but ahhhh. it was amazing basically!!!!!! what else.. oh its GOING TO BE SIXTY degrees next week. how exciting. hahahha. i love how im excited for that.. its kind of sad at this point. ive bought my tickets for going back home in december already.. but its like $400. BLAH. ohh well. its so expensive.. that's why im not going back for thanksgiving.. but it seems like a lot of people are not going back because it is so short!!! so that's cool. i need to go to whole foods and buy eggs. lol. im such a pointless person. hahahaahha. ;) so im listening to taylor swift, beyonce, mariah, and jay chou right now. hahaha. this is like one of those.. which one is not like the others! omg. wth... taylor swift is going to california when im not there. she's going to san jose too. blahh. i shouldnt be too upset i guess. hahahah. ohh and money in the bank. hahah. i love how i get pay for participating in researches where i just answer like a couple of questions and get $8. its amazing!!! hahhah. lol. so if i go 50 more times.. i might be able to cover for my books for this quarter! hahah. books are so crazy expensive. i should do laundry!!! okie. time for STUDYING!! (:

picture updates later!! (: so this week has pretty much beeen extremely exciting. hectic, busy, and most of all fun... met tons of new people. so that's pretty awesome.
trying to recap what happened. hahha. to tell the truth so much has happened.. i dont even really remember anymore. lol.

monday: so i left california at 11:10 on sunday (it was raining when i left) and arrived in chicago at like 5:30ish. omg. it was extremely tiring and then after we went to ikea and costco to do all of my dorm room shopping. we spend so much money :( because the tax is sooo expensive here. we then went to some sketchy restaurant near chicago, and my parents and i went to chicago, and it is absolutely gorgeous there. i hope that i will be able to go there more often during my next four years!! so then im excited for that!

tuesday: i met my roommate, and i moved in! hahah. that's basically it. oh and met my peer advisor group. got my wildcard!! we marched through the arch.. even though it was kind of lame. we had candles like we did at CASC.. unfortunately it was still light out.. so then it didnt really work out that well. hahah. and then we ate plex with my PA group! all of us are engineers... and so they were my group for all of my engineering related events, and then at night, we had ice breakers at smq, and also this assembly thingy for the WASH area. best of all, we had ben& jerry while a capella groups sang. :P

wednesday: we met with our PA group and ate breakfast at allison! it was kind of early. haha. at like 9:00, i think. lol. then listened to the dean's convocation at tech.. omg. tech is THE most confusing building in this whole entire world. and all of my classes are in there. GREAT! hahah. i went to group engineer advising stuff and then i took the chinese placement, then went to the a cappella fest with my hallmates! hahah. it was cool. every group was AMAZINGLY good. i was really impressed. northwestern kids are so talented it's scary. hahah. and extremely intelligent as well.

thursday: went to academic interest sessions, met katie. a super cool girl. haha. we met randomly because we were both lost, and she told me to go to a christian group's bbq. hahaha. because of the free food and her friend brenda wanted to join the group. i had a lot of fun there met tons of upperclassment. and im thinking about doing the triathlon. we also went to the multicultural lucheon, it was the best food i had in a LONG time. so yummmy. hahah. kaliedoscope was also that night. they had indian dancing which reminded me of sarang. hahahha. (:

friday: individual advising, work study orientation, information sessions on ASG and student activities & library orientation. hahha. no seth meyers because i didnt have tickets.

saturday: saturday was basically amazing. jessie, deborah and i went swimming at like 9:00 and we walked all the way up to SPAC. we wanted to eat breakfast, but apparently all the dining halls were closed. so we went swimming.... the pool is really pretty, im so out of shape!! ahhh. Then we went to the activities fair for asians. hahahha. and then we went to essential nu which was on sex signals. it was great. the skit.. i loved it. lol. they passed on condoms which was pretty awkward. hahahah. i got my cable so i was able to connect my printer to the computer, and then a huge group of us just went together to eat dinner and sargent.. and the most stupid things were said by me. rhode island and long island. ahahahhaha. oops... well other stupid things were also said by other people.. hahahha. like march doesn't always have 31 days. (: but it was fun. then we went to rock the beach. sophie, sam and i claim that we have started the whole entire party because we totally crashed the peer advisors circle. it was soo much fun! hahah. and then we went to tom deluca which was the COOLEST show i have ever seen. people did a lot of funny stuff and i laughed my head off. basically, saturday was THE best dude.

sunday: i missed the SWE brunch :( which was a little upsetting but ohhh well. i woke up early today to eat breakfsast because i thought that i still had 7 meals on my card, but unfortunately, they started over today which sucks big time. hahah. i woke up early AND i wasted a meal on breakfast. LAME-O. hahah. we felt so dumb when we found out. sam, sophia and i went to the community service info session, and i got another free t-shirt, and then afterwards we made our own lunch of mac&cheese and my beef noodles. it was very yummy. hahahha. we finished of all of our nu essentials. so that's good, and we're also going to six flags later!!! so im excited for that.

darn chevron... charged me extra three dollars. they suck. :(
and they caused my card to be deactivated. they suck times a million.
so i ordered my boots online and ups emailed me today and said it is arriving on monday... one day after i leave.
i called them and wanted to know if it would first be send to a ups in california since it is coming from kentucky, but they told me that it would first arrive at south san francisco on sunday evening at the earliest, they dont even know for sure. well i dont really need these boots anyways since i have two other pairs. so i guess they can just get to my house on monday, and i'll bring them with me when i come back for winter break, but still... how annoying. hahah. i dont want my parents to mail it to me since boots are expensive to mail. like $30 since the weight or whatever. fml, basically. lol.

today was/might have been the last day of work for me... i dont know yet. im trying to find a replacement desperately. bc i want to have saturday freeeeeeee.

the only thing good about my life right now.. is the fact that i got paid 1.5 times on labor day. hahah. LAME-O. (:

lol. yesterday in the fitting room...
girl: "i'm too tall. these pants don't fit me"
dad: "its a blessing to be tall"
looks over at me
dad: "it is also a blessing to be short... it is a blessing just to be alive..."
nods his head as if trying to convince me...
me standing there awkwardly. thanks a lot. lol.

i had a 630 calories chicken sandwhich at mimi's yesterday. hahhahaha.
