I should really start blogging more. Because now I can't remember what has happened since the last time I wrote.

It's finals week! Fiiiinally. I'm so exhausted. So so so so exhausted. These last 3 or 4 weeks I have been studying non stop every chance I get. Driving back and forth from home to Long Beach or LA to meet with people. These next few days I'll be up by 4am and studying at starbucks in LA by 5:30am till... ALL DAY. Bring me some love.

My immune system is shutting down on me due to stress and lack of sleep.

And of course now that my 21st birthday is coming up my body decides to get and eye infection and make me sick and i'm aching all over. tiiireedd. Perfect timing. UGH.

I'm not in the mood to post pictures. Blah.

Since the beginning of the year I've constantly debated whether or not I should cut my hair. Sometimes I love the way it is and other times i want to chop it all off. It took forever to grow but then I started to miss when it was short.
Well now I've decided I like the length and i'm keeping it like this. NOW my problem is whether or not I should dye it. I just want something different. If I dye it and hate it I could always go back to black in an instant. But do I want to waste my time and money doing it if I'm just going to possibly dye it back? ALSO. Last time I colored my hair it turned orange after a week. It was so dumb.
This is such a hard decision. This blog entry is stupid. Help.

Even with the average 5-6 hours of studying everyday, it's actually starting to feel like summer.
I've finally started putting my bike to use! Thankfully Mike fixed my breaks for me or I'm sure I would have gotten run over by now. Vince and I have been biking quite a lot and even though our destination is always less than 1 mile away it's still a lot of fun. My goal is to be able to bike to Crepes de Paris on Birch street! When will I achieve that goal? Probably more than a year from now. Ha.

Julian and I went to see The Dark Knight Thursday night for the 9:30 pre-showing at the Arclight Theatre in LA. It was my first time and I love it there. It's so nice and I was able to get away from the rowdy crowds for once. The movie was absolutely amazing! It's really very sad that Heath Ledger has passed away. He was incredible.

Yesterday I tagged along with Bianca to the Santa Monica Pier so she could get extra credit for going to the mini aquarium they had there. It took forever to find parking and we ended up finding a spot pretty far away. Since we only had an hour to get there and back we booked it! The aquarium was actually really cute and interesting and we got to touch some starfish. After that we realized we wouldn't make it to the car on time so we rented bikes for 6 dollars to get back faster. We put in another hour and used the bikes for awhile since we payed for them anyway and just cruised along the beach. Returned the bikes and walked the long way back to the car again. It was a lot of fun!

I have been spending so much money on anything and everything unnecessary. Mainly food and clothes. I need my paycheck to come in NOW. This is getting ridiculous. I need to start saving up.

Quick Picture Recap:

School sucks. You'd think that taking two classes and only having to go once a week during the summer would be easy breezy. NOPE. It sucks. Already I'm struggling to just pass one of the classes (yes, with a C. UGH). It doesn't help at all that I missed a 5% quiz while I was in Costa Rica. DILEMMA: Should I continue taking the class and risk failing so I don't have to take it next semester or should I withdraw now (knowing what i'll be getting myself into and not miss any quizzes) and try to work harder during fall even though on top of that class I'll be taking 2 more nursing classes? I'm only allowed two fails before getting kicked out of the program. Hate my life.

A couple interesting work stories.
1) I'm at the register and a woman orders. "6.78 is the total" i say. I stick my hand out and she starts counting change and putting coins in my hand. While she continues searching for more coins in her purse I notice she managed to include a pube with the coins. WHAT THE HELL. At first I really did not want to pick it up (even though my other hand was already touching it) but I also didn't want her to see it and start to feel awkward which would then make me feel even moooore awkward so i decided to quickly flick it off before she saw. SO GROSS.
2) Not as interesting but some punk ass kid tried to steal our tip money. Just because we have our backs turned to kindly get you some water even though you didn't purchase anything else doesn't mean our boss in the back who is watching the store via cameras can't see you. All of a sudden i hear the back swinging door slam and her yelling "PUT THAT BACK IN THERE". The stupid kid had the nerve to tell us that he was putting money IN our jar. OK. So why was he getting all crazy and yelling like a mad man. Actually, like a guilty dumbass. She told him to get out and never come back and he threw his water cup at our door. The popo came and we reported him. Asshole.

Tonight Jackie and I took a Tahitian dance class for the first time. It was a lot of fun and I'm going to start going every week. Already my arms feel 10 times buffer. So exciting!

I want to take up more and more hobbies this summer. Guitar, tennis, volleyball, etc. I'm feeling good!

These last few days have been pretty good. A couple blogs back I was so complain-y and I apologize. I get kind of crazy when I have nothing to do and start to act like alllll my days are so lame. But they're not as bad as I make it seem.
I went to Main Street in Hungtington Beach the other day with Julian and I decided it's kind of boring. I guess i'm just not that into all the surf shops, beach cruisers, and hot bodied bikini wearing people. However I did get excited when I heard someone saying "free passes to a new Michael Cera movie tomorrow". Most definitely jumped on that.
We tried a new Peruvian restaurant here by my house called "Mario's Peruvian Seafood Restaurant". Go and try it! Moderate pricing but very yummy. Looking at it from the outside you may think you're about to walk into a Marie Calendar's but I assure you there is nothing Marie Calendars-like about the food.

So the movie screening showed yesterday and I went with Bianca, Aimee, and Julian. Thank God we got there a little earlier or we would have all been sitting in separate seats. Movie is called "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist". Super cute movie that i'm sure i could and would watch over and over again. Definitely on my top picks.
