Oh why not.
Random things that I want to note in this journal, at this point in time.
-I burned my wrist on the oven trying to bake funfetti cookies- it hurt(s) so bad. And it looks like I intentionally tried to hurt myself.
-I am doing well in Biochemistry 401, not as well as some people, but pretty dang good for my standards. I think I have an 84 average, pre-curve.
-I went out to party for the first time pretty much this whole school year. And 2 nights in a row. It was fun, I met and talked to a ton of random nice people.
-I went through what I believe is my 9th or 10th break up. I laugh about this.
-I also went to the tanning bed for the first time. Why? I don't know. And I also took my first puff of a cigarette. Again, I don't know.
-I was introduced to a Ripstik. Loved it so much, I bought one on Ebay. (For those of you who don't know, it is a skateboard with 2 wheels, and it is meant to simulate snowboarding / surfing.. look it up!) I am really bad at it so far. But I will be a skater girl. HA!
-I have the best girl friends. They mean the world to me.
-My birthday is in 19 days-- May 2. I have a biochem test 8am that day, my 21st birthday. I also have 2 other exams that week leading up to my birthday. God must hate me.
-I got a new phone, complete with text messaging and a camera. It rocks!!!
-I am newly obsessed with stationery.... this is a weird phase of mine.
-Also obsessed with painting. just can't get enough of it!
--- Joel Morgan, the British heart throb I met in China, called me ON MY CELL PHONE... from England! My friend Logan went to visit him in England and they decided to give me a call that night. It was seriously the best 17 minutes of my life. I talked to Joel Morgan....how amazing. |

LJ is slowly being revived!

i got a flat tire today, but i drove on it. some gas station man filled it up for me, he was nice.
i bought $101 of indian food from sitar today.
i also am having problems with static and dry skin. i hate it being 30 degrees in the mornings.
i had a very great day! i fell asleep in 2 classes. i am so in love with life right now that i can barely function.

and because i got an 80 on my microbiology test. and i thought i got like a 20.
AND because i got to swab my ass in microbiology lab. oh rectal swabbing. i hope i dont have e coli.

So happy that my class got canceled today.
I am about to study or work on my bulletin board. It's due today.. I have no ideas for it. Dang it. I was a bad RA this month!
In other news, I am loving my job. I love working in my home- literally! My girls are awesome! They won overall homecoming and I couldn't be more proud of them. That sounds very motherly.
Hm, I had quite a fun weekend. Starting Thursday.. Found out my car got towed, from Terrace. HOW LAME! It wasn't even a fire lane.. the officer said it was a "temporary tow away zone". I like how it was parked there for 10 days before it gets towed. AND I have a UT parking pass. I just didn't feel like walking all the way from the garage. I hate KnoxPD. Oh well, there goes $85 and a life long scarring of parking on the streets.
Friday, I went out with Jeff Edlund and his friends to dinner at Jersey Mikes and had a great time meeting everyone. We went to the UT Men's Basketball exhibition game. Thompson Boling Arena was recently renovated.. it looks really amazing. We beat whoever we played 106-46. Embarrassing. I came back and talked to my resident Rachel and her boyfriend for 2 hours. I like them.
Saturday, I slept late and woke up around 11:30 and got some free food at the Greve tailgate. I played football with a bunch of guys and made 2 downs. They were very nice to me. I like surrounding myself with boys.. I guess thats normal.... ha! Or maybe I just get tired of seeing girls girls girls 24/7 (since I live with sorority women..)
Then Sam, DrewL, and his friend came over to Massey and we ate cookies and sat around for a few minutes. We went to the football game (homecoming) where apparently no body wanted to be at. I read that it was the smallest home crowd in UT football history. It was true. we had about 4 empty benches around where we were sitting. It was hot, but then it got really cold. I wore cowboy boots- I love those things. I think they are very practical.
Then I got Dynasty.. that's the story of my life right there.
Sunday I wrote my 8 page paper on Julius Caesar. It was brutal. But finished, and turned in.
I guess the juicy part of this post comes now.
Drew came over to talk last night, where we mutually decided that we could no longer be with each other. I cried, but I don't think it was because I was sad. I think I am relieved and finally realizing that I am strong enough without him. I am looking forward to getting to know myself better and finding things that I really enjoy doing. I am going to make a checklist of things I want to accomplish in the next few months and put it next to my bed. I'm excited about that. But most of all, I am going to miss losing my best friend. I hope I will be strong enough to see him in class for the rest of the semester. I'm going to have to, right?
Single and not ready to mingle.
This song is by an artist that Drew introduced me to. It couldn't be more perfect. (listen to it!)
Emerson Hart - I Wish The Best For You lyricsHow long can we wait here
To say goodbye?
The words once they're spoken
Are words that we can't take
Back to where we were, before
Things got in the way
Life gets so confusing
When you know what you're losing
You
Me
Why can't we see that there's
More to love than we'll ever know
Sometimes you're closer when you're
Letting go
I wish the best for you
I wish the best for you
We'll both regret the hurting
That we will do
You'll learn to forget me
And I'll try
I'll try to forget...
You
Me
Why can't we see that there's
More to love than we'll ever know
Sometimes you're closer when you're
Letting go
I wish the best for you
I wish the best
If you ever need a place that you can run to
I'll be here, I'll be here
You
Me
Why can't we see that there's
More to love than we'll ever know
Sometimes you're closer when you're
Letting go
I wish the best for you
I wish the best for you
..thanks for a really awesome 2 years. You taught me so much. I won't forget anything we shared and I am truly thankful you came into my life. my love for you was very real. |

as a lot of you know now, i am single. if i havent already been such a baby and cried or moped to you about it, consider yourself very lucky.
the last couple of days were so hard on me. i honestly didn't think i'd ever get over this, ever. i knew with each day that i would get stronger, even if i didnt realize it. everyone knows how in love i was with him.. so getting over him would not be the easiest task. it took lots of crying and girl talks to get me to where i am now. well, im doing better than ever as of last night. no, i didnt go hook up with anyone or anything. it just finally hit me that i am better off on my own. we are better off on our own. i have accepted that, and just by that decision, i can already see myself maturing. for a girl to say that after a break up on good terms, i think that says alot.
for now, i am going to keep doing what ive been doing this summer, minus having a companion. and im going to enjoy the single life (man, i havent had this opportunity since my freshman year of college). so im still not sure how to go about it, but it doesnt seem too hard right now. day 4 and im finally able to smile a somewhat genuine smile again. lets celebrate! |

i painted my room jungle chameleon green. its awesome. i finally finished (after a week and 3 days). it was my first time to paint a room, it took a while, and it sucked. thanks to my mom and drew for helping me (together they did the majority of my room). its time to dispose of all the plastic, newspaper, and masking tape and finally get my room back in order so i can live in it again. i camped out in my den on the couch for 10 nights. wow.
watched lost with drew and zach. it was incredible. seems like everyone is still talking about it and coming up with new theories. i seriously cant wait until february. i need to know what is in store for all these losties!
im taking both semesters of physics this summer. i hope its pretty easy. i applied to work at 5 places, i dont really need to work, but id like to make some money. 2 daycares, jim's place east, rack room shoes, and bolapasta. if anyone knows of a guaranteed job somewhere, do tell.
i feel fat. i am flabby. i should get toned, asap. |

I will be departing from my teenage years in approximately 3 hours. How exciting!
I hope everyone is having a smooth ending to school. Exams are in a couple of days for me. I've already had two: bioethics and organic lab. Thursday is my math, Friday is chemistry, and Monday is ecology. I haven't studied at all, but thats totally okay. I've been so stressed out the past month or so, which had caused me intense and severe emotional problems. But as of today, I am feeling good. I rewarded myself with Chinese food, via Volmenus (which by the way, I am sporting my Tshirt now. and I saw Aaron today while I was wearing it.) I am quite sick right now, it's a not so fun feeling, but I'm just glad that the bigger issue is done and over with. I can't wait to go home. I don't know what my situation is right now regarding summer plans. Either I stay in Knoxville and take a couple of classes (one of which being History of Rock) or go to Memphis and do both semesters of physics. I'm indecisive. I hate it.
I saw Cake play on Friday. I hope to see Ingram Hill this Friday. And, if you didn't know, I'm obsessed with Jack's Mannequin. If you are going to Musicfest, check them out. Along with the Counting Crows...they rock too.
Hi everybody!
ok bye. |

the english summer camp will bengin soon!
unfortunately i can't take part in the camp because i'm grade 2!
will you come tsinghua this year ?
If you come here,don't forget to tell me !
maybe I can introduce you something about china.
maybe we can visit some place of china togather!
now the campus is beautiful.the green tree around the road ,the spring wind and the smell of the flowers intoxicate me when I ride the bicycle.
there are so many kinds of flowers blossoming all round the campus.I find it's hard for me to describe it. if you want to have a look ,I can take some picture in the campus. best wishes!!

My competition has verbally threatened me on two occasions that I was going down in the tournament.
We'll see about that.
My classes for next semester are:
Math 152- MWF 12:20-1:10
Microbiology 310, 319- TR 11:10-12:25, MW 2:30-5:30
Musicology 120 (with Wendel, of course)- TR 8:10-9:25
Biology 240- MWF 1:25-2:15, F 9:05-12:05
**EDIT**
History 241- MW 9:05-9:55, M 10:10-11:00
Phys Ed 254 (yoga)- TR 5:05-6:20
3 labs is not going to be fun. Nonetheless, I am pretty stoked about all the classes. Or maybe its just History of Rock...
I have an ecology test I should be studying for.
Can't wait til summer! yay. |

I'm taking a break from my hectic study schedule.
It's been a long while since I had a nice, personal post. Since my last [good] post, I have made an 83 on my organic chemistry test, a 92 on my bioethics test, and some really good surprising lab grades. I'm actually pretty proud of myself, for the first time in a while. Let's see, I'm not going to China this summer, because Tsinghua decided not to accept any returning people. I am glad they made the decision for me, since I was having second thoughts about going. I would have really hated to go and compare every single aspect to last year. My summer will be composed of summer school, working (hopefully at the pharmacy in the hospital), and babysitting.
Rewind back two weeks ago. Spring break was wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. I got to spend time with my loves, Drew, Lindsay, and Sam in BEAUTIFUL St. Augustine. We had Sam's mom's house all to ourselves. I really enjoyed being with them for the 4.5 days we were there. We cooked, cleaned, and all around acted like married couples. I even fell in love with spicy mustard. Quite amazing if you ask me! Drew and I got tan with a little sun, while Sam and Linds burned. We took lovey-dovey pictures on the beach and around the dock, but I'm sure everyone already saw those. I'm sorry if they made you throw up a little bit in your mouth. And of course, we met up with some fellow livejournal friends on the last night. We rode home for 9 hours without any A/C and it was really hot. Aaron can vouch.
Drew and I headed to New York the day after we got back from the beach. I got really nauseous on the plane and almost threw up. Drew had the barf bag open and ready. It was totally embarrassing. In DC, I doped myself up with 2 dramamine and was in and out of consiousness for.. well the whole day. We finally made it to NYC after a 3 hour layover and an additional 5 hour delay. Running around the city was not cool when carrying luggage. The hotel was immaculate. It had 2 rooms- a living room and a bedroom. We had 2 queen size beds! And the tub had a curvey shower curtain hanger. That's really not important.. The highlights of our trip include: large 19 inch pizzas, the snow/sleet/hail/ice storm, the Statue of Liberty, NYSE, paninis, Chinatown ($3 for Borat, $3 gloves, $20 Dolce and Gabana purse), NY Noodletown!!, the subway and path system, Ground Zero, Madame Tussauds, Carnegie Deli CHEESECAKE!, Olive Garden in Times Square, the madness that is Times Square, Central Park, Rainbow (my FAVORITE clothing store), NBC studios and seeing the cast of SNL rehearsing a skit for that night, trudging through the snow for 4 days and wearing my "New York-looking" pea coat, actually watching SNL LIVE from new york!, and finally... spending time with my hubby. Oh yeah, we ran through the airport to catch our flight back to Knoxville. That was fun.
I've come to realize that life consists of many short lived friendships. I can remember all my little groups of friends from middle school and high school. And even now, I am seeing changes in who I hang out with. Next year, things will be completely different, for hopefully I will get the job as an RA. Actually going through the RA selection process has allowed me to meet some wonderful people. I am somewhat optimistic that this is one thing I could succeed in. There are 150 people competing for 65 spots. Sometimes I have no confidence in myself, but there are always those people in my life who can lift my spirits up. With all fingers crossed, I hope I get the job. Friday the 13th, I find out.
I'm really busy the next couple of weeks. I can't wait for summer. I need to slow down.
Hug me! |

so, i remembered tonight at pilates that everyone sits indian style differently. i was glancing around, seeing who sat like me- right leg over left. it was amazing. pretty much everyone sat the same way as me, but there were those select few who did their left leg over their right. it just makes me wonder sometimes..
so... sitting indian style, which leg goes over the other?
...ps. happy 1 year and 1 month. |
