Meet my lab group. I've spent more time these past two days on chemistry lab than on life. My life is so sad.
TJ says, "PARTY in the hizhousefizzleshizzle!"
J says, "Time for lab. Change into pants."
C says... actually, she was pretty quiet.
The thing about the pity texts... I was in the lounge with a friend a while ago and I was expecting a text. I thought my phone vibrated, so I was sad when I discovered that I had actually imagined the vibration. He felt [I had typed "left" instead of "felt" earlier. Maybe I'm more dyslexic than I thought...] sorry for me and sent me a pity text. When I retold this story to my lounge, my floormates thought it would be hilarious to bombard me with pity texts.
Melinda says, "Stop pity texting me."

Happy Valentine's Day!
I don't believe in Singles Awareness Day. Why celebrate a holiday whose acronym is SAD? No, I don't need a valentine to celebrate Valentine's Day. We can all celebrate love.
I spent my Valentine's Day frolicking around Santa Monica with a bunch of floormates (and A.Lo). TJ and I thrifted at Goodwill. I finally bought a blazer (for just $6)! We then promenaded down Third Street and had more jolly fun. Some of the boys on my floor had fun trying on brightly colored denim inside Pac Sun. Of course, no homo...
Yesterday, our dining hall played "I Must Not Chase the Boys," a song by my favorite band in 7th-8th grade, Play. Anyone who remembers them gets extra special kudos from me. I remember being so excited to see them in concert with P. Last night, we blasted their songs on my laptop and sang to them in our dorm room. It was a fun night. For those of you who need a refresher, this is Play's "Us Against the World." :)
Tonight, P and I are going to have movie night! It's been a good Valentine's Day. I hope you guys had a good day, too. Hope you're all well. :)

I miss you, sunshine.
I made a new banner yesterday because the old one made me cold just looking at it. I chose a picture taken on Waikiki beach because it seemed like the warmest option. I wish I were back on that beach. I wish it were summer again so that carefree feeling could return.
Reality check: I'm in LA. It's 50 degrees outside and I'm freezing.
At least I have the weekend to look forward to. And my headband; it hasn't been delivered yet. I'm really excited for a highlighter party I'm planning on going to tomorrow. I have no idea what to expect, or what to wear, for that matter.

Brrr, it's cold in here.
Since I haven't ranted about school in a while...
MATH: I skipped math this morning to reward myself for finishing the first round of midterms, which (knock on wood) went fairly well. Afterwards, H informed me that we've finished with single-variable calculus and moved on to multi-variable in lecture this morning, to which I responded, "FML." I tried to do the homework, but got stuck on the first problem, so I called A.Lo for backup. It's a good thing I have genius friends.
CHEM: As strange as it is to say so, chem is getting better. I'm actually understanding (again, knock on wood) the new section on kinetics. Plus, Laurence cancelled class this Friday to jump start the long weekend!
CHEM LAB: The midterm went well, so I'm hoping my grade isn't in jeopardy yet. Someone told me that Johnni Pang grades all of this midterms personally, so I probably won't see the grade for a while, but I've come to expect my grade to constantly need saving in all things chemistry-related. On the bright side, my TA for this class is so eccentric and doesn't usually know what she's doing, so she's not too hard on us. To add to that brightness, my lab partner knows his stuff and entertains me endlessly. Maybe there's hope for me in chemistry after all...
ENGLISH COMP: Class is interesting. That's really all I have to say about it. I just don't see how I can ace a first draft, revise said draft according to my teacher's specifications, then get a B as a final grade on the paper. How unreasonable.
Things I'm looking forward to:
1. THREE DAY WEEKEND, that actually starts at 10:00AM on Friday for me. :)
2. Shopping in Santa Monica this weekend with P, A.Lo, and TJ.
3. Authentic Thai cuisine in our dining halls, pointed out to me by C.
4. A package in the mail containing this:
The frigid weather encouraged me to order this Whitney Port-inspired headband from Bryn. How can I say I'm from NorCal when I feel the need to bundle up every time the temperature drops below 65?
I made a new header and played around with the text and background colors. Looking at the pictures from the snow in my old header was making me colder than necessary.

Come again some other day.
Dr. Lavelle, before beginning his lecture today, asks "so, did you guys do anything interesting this weekend?" He then proceeds to duck under the podium as memories of yesterday's Chemistry midterm evoke groans from the class. Well played, Laurence.
So that was my weekend. Saturday was spent studying chemistry, and Sunday morning was spent studying some more. After the midterm, I went with some floormates to Nijiya, a cutesy Japanese market full of Asian goodies conveniently located next to a Yogurtland. Frozen yogurt topped with fresh fruit and a mound of mochi is my favorite pick-me-up.
Thank you again to everyone who made my birthday special. And thanks to everyone who bought me presents on my wish list! What can I say? I have awesome friends who spoil me rotten. :)
I also got this deliciously cozy sweater from Urban as a gift. Rumi of Fashion Toast features it on her blog here and here.
As much as I love watching the rain fall, and as much as I know California needs water, I can't help but feel annoyed at this weather...but that's probably because I don't have any rain gear but the tiny purple umbrella that I barely fit under. Rain, rain, go away.

Thankful
I am so grateful for all the people who made my birthday amazing - everyone who called, texted, and left facebook messages. Thanks to those who came to dinner with me, and to those who played Cranium with me afterwards despite having tons of schoolwork to do. What would I do without you guys?
The biggest thank you goes to my Be Fri, the bestest friend/roomie I could ever have asked for, or not asked for but got anyways. Thank you for the bombardment of text messages at midnight, the birthday wallpaper, and the present (talk about best present EVER! looking forward to movie nights!). Thank you for not getting mad at the harmonica wake-up, and for letting me wear your spankies to dinner. And thanks for everything else you do, like listening to me complain about my dry skin. I LOVE YOU!
And happy birthday to DENNIS HO, my birthday and eggettes buddy! I miss you/ eggettes over spring break for sure!

time?
I'm currently strolling down nostalgia lane listening to "Born to Make You Happy" by Britney Spears and "The One" by Backstreet Boys. How good was life before high school? Oh, how I miss those carefree days of uniforms, bagged lunches, and lining up by gender.
Today is February 1st. In two days, I turn nineteen. In a year and two days, I turn twenty (MY GOD, THAT IS A BIG NUMBER). How did this happen? Where did the time go? Just last night, Mommy tucked me into bed and kissed me goodnight, and somehow, this morning, I woke up in the upper bunk of a college dorm.
Throughout high school, I was afraid to take too many chances. I was afraid to let my guard down and face rejection or failure. Only in senior year, when I realized that time was running out and I really didn't care what my classmates thought of me anymore, did I take my mask off and really enjoy myself.
Over the summer, I promised myself that I would be a different person in college. I would be honest about my emotions and unafraid of judgment.
But now that I'm here, I find myself as the scared little freshman again. When will I find the courage to to take a chance on something that could change me forever? Soon, I hope. College, like high school, won't last forever.
I want to find the kind of love worth singing about.
