tingtingt-ting! tangtangt-tang!

we came back from warner springs this afternoon.

this winter retreat seemed like the shortest retreat ever..

but then again,

i don't know if i could last another day if we had stayed longer (-_-!)

i am so tired.

i slept at 5 the night before we left

then at retreat i slept at 6 and 4 

and i woke up early in the morning all 3 days.

i would love to tell you how our trip was but i am too tired to even think.

all i can think about is our smoke filled kitchen everyday haha

i've been wanting to go to sleep all day

but I'm forcing myself to stay awake

so i can get back into my regular sleeping routine.

i hope i'm not catching a cold..

New Camera!

so my mother gave me my christmas present a couple days early

(just like she always does)

which tempted me to open it :P

(just like it always does)

and i ended up giving in..

(just like i always do)

i

love

it

:)

here's my first pictureeee:

OH EM GEEEEE

Guess who is finally on break!!!

------> ME

I had my last final this morning! i spent a long time on that painting (-_-!) it actually turned out completely different from what i had originally planned.. but i think it was for the better. I even incorporated myself into it! haha but... somehow i came out with the face of a white girl. fail. I can't believe I'm finally on break! No more tests?? No more art projects?? whaaaat?! This is seriously the first weekend that i have free from the stresses of meeting project deadlines since the summer.. I have so many things i want to do! I bought a bunch of cookie/cupcake stuff so I'm definitely going to be doing some baking. I also want to take some trips back to LA. I miss freshman year when we actually had the time to go pretty frequently :(  I should make a list of places i want to go and things i want to do before this break is over!

LETS PLAY! :)

Two Down, Two More to Go

Today i finished the two more "difficult" finals that i have.

(the serious ones like journalism and psychology)

now the only two finals i have left are my artsy fartsy ones!

I have my art lecture final tomorrow at 5pm

and my final art project critique on friday at 9am

after that I'm  D O N E !!

I would so much rather stress over art projects 

than study useless information that I'm not even interested in..

contrary to my last entry,

i was reminded of how cute some people are.

like last week some guy put fake noses and taped long stem roses 

on some of the stop signs around campus.

get it?? "stop and smell the roses"

and today i saw a guy sitting at the entrance near the student union

with a big sign that said "relax"

and he sat there and sang and played guitar.

it's refreshing to see people like that around.

and i was also reminded that some people do care.

and that people can be nice.

thank you.

to everyone who made me happy today :)

ASDF;LKJ

humans are so cruel.

the more i think about it the more gloomy i get.

getting into detail with that thought seems too incriminating

why am i getting so cynical?

i should be happy around this time of year.

i hope i don't turn into one of those angry people who hate the holidays

i just want to be happy.

Decem-burrrrr!

It has been extremely cold these past few days and i heard that we should be expecting rain this week. I hate cold weather.. but i know some of you crazies are enjoying this! I don't know about you, but cold weather is so uncomfortable for me. It makes me dread some of the things i do like getting out of bed in the morning,  changing/putting on my jeans that feel like they have been sitting in a refrigerator overnight, getting out of the shower, getting into my frozen car, etc. (or perhaps I just love to complain) any-who, I have finals this week. I have two finals on tuesday, one on wednesday night, and our final art project critique on friday morning. I guess I have it pretty easy compared to some other of you. Surprisingly, I'm not really stressed about any of it at the moment. Maybe I just haven't realized that this is the end already. Who knows. I don't have any finals tomorrow so i plan on sleeping in, catching up on some TV shows, and studying. I think I've mentioned this in an earlier entry.. but i have the urge to bake. This is probably the result of having the food network on so much, especially with all this holiday stuff going on. I want to bake cookies or cupcakes cause I don't think a whole cake is as appetizing and convenient to eat as small treats.  yum.. i should stop rambling. 

The Way The Truth and The Life

It's true when they say that everything can change in a second.

And it's amazing how many times i was reminded of that this week.

I can't wait for finals week to be over.

school is the last thing i want to think about.

I have decided not to work this break.

I could really use the money,

but i think i should use the break to collect myself instead.

I feel like i need to find myself.. you know what i mean?

and hopefully with new years approaching, it will motivate me to do so.

I need to start thinking about what really matters to me.

I need to re-examine the relationships i have right now.

and I definitely need to learn how to control myself.

then, maybe, i could set my priorities straight.

I'm tired and I'm hurt.

I know that there is only ONE thing that can help me.

but i don't know if I'm strong enough to give everything up and just rely on trust.

all I know is that I don't need another reason to wear my glasses.

Easy Breezy

how exciting! it is finally the last week of instruction! i think I'm pretty set for finals week which is next week. i don't know why but I'm not exactly stressed about finals. I'm not even stressed about my final art project (which is kinda weird) i feel like i should worry more o.O I've been feeling really carefree ever since i finished my 8 page paper on monday night. I've been working on my art final and i decided to make it into a diptych (a piece with two panels). The theme of our final is "surrealism" which is basically a mix between things that are real and things that are dreamlike. At first it was hard for me decide on an idea because, as you can imagine, there are like endless possibilities with surrealism. It's kind of hard for me to explain the concept i have in mind but i hope everything works out in the end. i think I'm pretty much done with the left side. Now i just need to make another 14x17 for be the right side. 

the color quality is horrible online but..

this is what i have so far

i couldn't resist. i just HAD to use gold paint :)

the weather is so nice today.

it's warm, sunny, and there's a slight breeze outside.

i love long beach weather sometimes.

so i decided to go outside and take some pictures

i would've taken more if there weren't so many scary bug in the bushes :P

bleh.. i hate how the internet ruins the picture/color quality

The Good:

i just finished registering for spring 2009! Unfortunately, my registration time was at 9:00AM on one of the few days that i get to sleep in (-__-!) I had to drag myself out of bed and into this chair of mine. Have you ever noticed how  s l o w l  y  time seems to go when you're waiting to register? Especially when it got to 8:57AM.. 8:59AM.. 8:59AM (that last minute felt like 5 minutes). BUT! i ended up getting all my first choice classes! :D which meansss i have class Mon-Thurs and i start at 11:00AM everyday! You don't know how relieved i am with that out of my way.

The Bad:

 I decided that i should try to finish my GEs so I'm only taking one art class. I am also taking four general education classes, and one kinesiology class. One + FOUR + ONE = Six! yes, i know.. SIX CLASSES O_O YIKES! i hope i don't regret this.. especially when the majority of my classes are boring GEs. I am taking Political Science, Philosophy, Communication, Geography, Intro to Drawing, and Group Exercise: Cardio. I decided to take the kinesi

ology class so i would be  obligated to exercise consistently lol not to mention, it oddly fits perfectly into my schedule. The downside to this is that it's one of my 11AM classes so i'll probably be all gross and sweaty for my following classes. (yuck). And lastly, I heard the professor that is teaching my drawing class is really difficult and that she likes to gives an unbelievable amount of work. uh oh. 

How Cute Are These Lyrics!

V1:
You be my princess
I'll be your toad
I'll follow behind you 
on rainbow road
Protect you from red shells 
wherever we go
I promise.

V2:
Noone will touch us 
if we pick up a star
If you spin out 
you can ride in my car
When we slide together 
we generate sparks
in our wheels and our hearts

Chorus:
The finish line 
is just around the bend
I'll pause this game 
so our love will never end
Let's go again

V3:
The blue shell is coming
so I'll go ahead
If you hang behind
it'll hit me instead
but never look back
cause I'm down but not dead
I'll catch up to you

Bridge:
Don't worry about 
Bowser or DK
Eat this glowing mushroom
and they'll all fade away

Chorusx2

to the mushroom cup
and the flower cup
and the star cup
and the reverse cup

walalalalala
walalalalalawaluigiiiiii

EVERYTHING is just so "beautiful" in this one

Michelle and I helped out at a wedding at the Huntington Beach Hyatt on Saturday. I never knew how nice the Hyatt was! It felt like every room and corner there was beautiful! Setting up in the beginning was pretty hectic because it felt like we were running late and we weren't exactly sure what we were doing =X. Luckily though, everything turned out great. The flowers and decorations were pink and brown themed. I  l o v e d  the flowers. Weddings are so fun. They're beautiful and filled with happy people. It was kind of cool seeing everything come together in the behind the scenes perspective..

btw. there was a beautiful sunset that night

----------------------------------

I finally got a gym membership at 24 this weekend! Im going to be very disappointed in myself if i don't go consistently (-_-!). Lets go exercise!!
