The First Test

I haven't been able to sleep well for the past few days. I don't know why, but dreams have been bothersome and I just can't shake them ugly feelings away. Well, one time I woke up and thought it was like 7:30am, but no...i was like 4 hours ahead of myself: it was 3:30am. I thought, "dammits. what the heck."

Anyways, that's just something i thought i would share...so last night, i was supposed to study for my first exam in for the class i am taking, but instead of that i did the next best thing and that was to procrastinate. If i feel like I'm semi-confident, I don't study the night before...i cram the next morning lol.

So what did i do? I abducted one of my friends and we had our restaurant gauntlet (restaurantguantlet.blogspot.com). While we were eating dinner, I told him how i would not rest until i found blueberries and white merlot because i've had a craving for them for the past few days now. I told him I was going to continue the adbuction to BevMo and also to Trader Joe's. What was such a simple thing, turned into a tangent of weird events. I won't go into detail of it too much, but here's the highlights:

1. BevMo does NOT have all the beverages you could dream of coz there was no white merlot. ALSO i ended up buying pear cider and guiness (snakebites baby)
2. We tried to follow the sun and imagine it carrying two scoops of raisins. Pity we only had our camera phones. boo.
3. Trader Joe's had no blueberries OR white merlot either. Annoyance escalates until...

4. Linens and Things.

As we walked out of TJ's (myself being very disappointed in my failed search), I saw the red and yellow signs - "EVERYTHING MUST GO!" there's a sale going on...

went inside. of course, there are no blueberries nor bottles of white merlot, but i did come away with a dope looking pillow, a pasta ladle, and soft towels. it was a great adventure, and apparently my friend had a great time of documenting those events his own special way. haha

Oh, yah...about my test...

So, I came home. Studied (sort of), and seriously, dreamt of the damn formulas and definitions of things. Calculating things..it was weird. Woke up at 7am. Decided to sleep in, but i woke up only 30 minutes later and decided to go for a 20 min walk which turned into a 45 min walk, then working out in my living room for a bit. Then finally opening my notebook for about 10 minutes before heading to class.

Got superb parking. Sat in the class, and my partner laughed at me when i told him i studied for 2 hours (liar. i studied for like less than that..lol) and then i told him i had to relax. so he told me to use meebo.com hahaha i ended up chatting for a bout 5 minutes before deciding to sign off, and study again.

So, she passes out the exam. 25 questions. How long did it take to do?

TWO HOURS

goodness gracious. My partner and i were like annoyed as heck. Anyways, after the test...i was walking out the door to turn in my test in the other room and said, "omg, that test is fucked up." and after the sea of students moved out of the way, there was my professor was sitting at the desk...smiling. how embarrassing.

Umm, so yah. That's my adventure, well not really, but hey...it's an amusing read. kapow.

Regular Flavor Oatmeal

I'm in class (again) waiting for it to begin, and I've decided I want to share my very short adventure of Regular Flavored Oatmeal.

I woke up pretty early this morning and decided that I wanted to have a real breakfast, besides the regular breakfast bar, and thought, "oh, why not eat oatmeal. i've got time."

So I walk over to the kitchen and pull out the lovely brown and blue packet of oatmeal. i realize that i needed to take a shower, so i did that, and came back out to boil the water while i was getting ready. When I was done, I ripped open the little bag and poured it into the bowl, kind of excited to eat, what i thought was Peaches and Cream oatmeal, but once I poured the boiling water into the bowl and realized there no peach colored thingys in there, i asked myself (aloud), "hey, where are all the little peaches that are supposed to be in here?" and bam. i knew it. i poured the wrong type of oatmeal - it was Regular flavor.

I figured regular oatmeal wouldn't be so bad, it's supposedly healthy for you, but once i took my first spoonful of the oatmeal, i wanted to spit it back out. i, then, rememebered why I eat flavored oatmeal, coz regular is just GROSS! it tastes like cardboard, if that's what cardboard taste like. I took another 4 spoonfuls, and decided i needed some flavor. I had no condensed milk, no brown sugar or honey and so i opted for what might have been the best thing: bananas.

So cut some bananas and put in the oatmeal, semi-proud of myself for thinking of a way to save this gross tasting oatmeal. I mixed it up a bit, took another spoonful and realized, "shyet. this tastes just as bad as regular oatmeal." of course, another look of disgust went across my face, and well...i forced myself to eat it because 1. i was hungry, 2. i used a banana and 3. it's supposedly healthy. umm whatevers...

So, what is this post about? Nothing really. just thought i'd share my freakin' moment of realization that i've always disliked regular flavored oatmeal, and even with fruits in it..it's still just as gross tasting.

thanks. and have a spunky non-regular flavored oatmeal day.

In class

Alright. So this is like day 6 of this class that i'm taking at one of the local community colleges, and without fail, our professor has been late to class at least 30 minutes each time. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but i find myself online doing nonsense things, like this (blogging), chatting or looking for some interesting news to read.

We have a test on Thursday, and honestly, i have no real clue of the format of the test. Is it multiple choice? short answer? It's really, really weird. Anyways, i just thought i'd post something while i'm sitting here, once again, waiting for class to begin... more later. maybe.

It's 7am all day...

I woke up this morning without the sun beaming through the windows, and looked at the clock to realize it was 10:30am, and not what I thought was 7 am.

I have to admit, i do miss the fog. You would think that I would still miss having the constant heat every single day in the summer, but I don't. I actually am glad there is fog today because it means I can go somewhere else for the sun. The fog, to me, is an escape from the heat from all other parts of the bay. THat may not make any sense to you, and that is because i'm writing this after only being awake for like ten minutes. hahah

The only downfall with 7am all day weather is just that...i never really know what time it is. It looks the same all day and i could easily get lost in tv on dvd marathons, cleaning my apartment, chatting online, or even just laying on my carpet while i stare at the ceiling. That's when i know i have to force myself to do something productive.

Anyways, with the last day of heat (yesterday), I went to the ice cream shop and then the beach with my cousin and her two kids, who are freakin' adorable! I kind of felt like i was living in SoCal for a brief moment being at the beach with the lovely heat. It was so cool to see everyone out there on the sand with little umbrellas, and some people starting to make a bonfire. I want to have a bonfire. My birthday's coming up, and maybe i'll make it that chill. eh. i dunno.

time to get ready for dim sum, ha!

Feeling hot, hot, hot!

It's only 9:55 in the ay em, and let me say that it is pretty damn warm outside. So, the people of the east bay who like to complain that SF is too damn foggy and cold are typically correct, but today...(and yesterday, and the day before) it's been pretty damn nice! To the point that I like to call it "tube top day."

Tube Top Day means exactly what it is...you get to wear a tube top (men can also if they'd like). I have to thank my friend FW who has somehow changed my perspective of summer attire because I LOVE my tube tops that I have, and i've also learned that I do not like having tank top tan lines as well. The only downfall with a tube top is the fact that you can't reach your back to apply sunblock. *shrugs* just as well, i guess.

Anyways, so i'm thinking of wearing a tube top today. I'm in a tank top already, but I kind of want to go on a walking adventure in the sun and that means there is a big possibility of getting burnt...with a tank top tan. no thank you. I just need to buy more shorts or skirts to go along with these tube tops. Gotta look semi-cute you know?

On another note, I should be doing laundry, but the machines are full (again!). That's the disadvantage of having only one washer and one dryer in this aprtment building. There should always be at least two of each.
