WOW.

THIS S#!T IS EMBARRASSING.

Take Me Away

Wednesday afternoon I went to Berkeley with my sister and Huey. We did a little shopping, had falafel, and got frozen yogurt. It was delicious and the weather was a nice change from the sweltering Sacramento heat.

I totally forgot about how last Thursday we welcomed Nick back from his month long trip around Europe! My mom cooked him a Chinese feast, which we all loved. Then we hung out and saw The Ugly Truth. It was funny how it was supposed to take place and was filmed in Sacramento! It got me thinking about relationships. We often act how we want others to perceive us, so in a way we change ourselves to fit others. Then eventually, they'll like who they think we are. What we should be looking for is people who like us for ourselves. So, if people don't like me because I am sarcastic, use hand sanitizer often, memorize what people wear, or crack my back - whatever, I don't need you in my life.

Insomnia

These nails took forever to do freehand. Gold with sparkly bronze tips. Something to do while I was awake.

After the newspaper is delivered, the sun comes out, and the birds start to chirp is when I can actually go to sleep. It's currently 4:02 am and as normal people sleep, I'm playing with my iphone and listening to Amanda Blank.

I just got this "What to Wear" application which is basically a closet organizer. I can take pictures of my clothes and plan outfits accordingly. All the reviews said it was dumb/stupid, but I'm thinking it could be useful when all my clothes are folded into tiny little sausages in my dorm room and I want to decide what to wear. We'll see how this works out.

I could go on and on about all the other apps I have, but I know it's not really interesting. Especially to people that don't have iphones. Haha sorry. I'll post about more exciting things later.

My background is a map from here to Irvine. Obviously I'm excited!

Rojaaaa

Thursday night we had to celebrate the fact that Andrew and I were done with summer school! Ah definitely a fun time. Brian was sooo wild. Which is always hilarious. Oh, those boys.

Last night Andrew popped in for a second accompanied by Johnathan Ross, Kyle Patterson, and Stephen Johnson. I haven't seen that guy in years. Crazy!

Then tonight I went bowling with Huey and her friends, which was interesting since I hadn't been in over a year. My score was horrible, but whatever. Then we played pool, which I also sucked at.

Tomorrow Huey and Nick are coming over to feast and chaos will ensue! So excited.

My Life Is Coming Together

Tonight I fixed my schedule of classes of the fall and as nerdy as it sounds, I'm so excited for school to start. And no, not just for social reasons. Yes, I want to meet new people and have life experiences, but I also want to learn and expand my mind. I've heard good reviews about my professors and I'm looking forward to getting an education for my future.

This past Friday and Saturday was SPOP (Student Parent Orientation Program) and as cheesy as it sounds, it was a life changing experience. I fell in love with the campus all over again and it just reassured me that I'm going to have the time of my life. My hall was filled with outgoing people that made my stay a constant party. We even had cheers and hand signals! The staffers were genuinely nice and willing to answer any of our questions. They organized a series of activities called "spOlympics" where we all broke into teams to win the prize. Turns out we all won 'street cred.' Haha then a good 10 or so of us stayed up ALL NIGHT talking, laughing, and playing games like 'Asa', fishbowl, watermelon, and 10 fingers. Actually, I lost in watermelon so I had to eat breakfast the next day without my hands... haha

On the last day we did deeper activities like cross the line and the touch game, which resulted in a room filled of tears. We all sat in a huge circle facing outwards and closed our eyes. A staffer read statements like "please touch someone who inspires you" or "please touch someone who doesn't know how beautiful they are" as a rotating group of 5 went around and tapped people. It was crazy how we all became so close in the mere 36 hours. I never thought people would feel such positive things about me, and it was crazy how we all impacted each other so greatly. Now we're all facebook friends of course, and I can't wait to see these people again in the fall!

I'm coming away from this experience with a million inside jokes and faith restored in humankind. The atmosphere is just so different down there. Everyone is nice and open to new things. I didn't feel judged once. There are nice people out there, and I can't wait to meet them all.

Thank God

My daily horoscope:

At first, it's harder than usual for you to let go of something that recently occurred. But things will improve, even if it takes a while for you to overcome your negativity. Keep in mind that forcing a positive change of attitude won't work today. Just let the events unfold while knowing that better times are on the way. Believe it or not, the Sun will appear and chase away the dark clouds.

Night Owl

I seriously need more friends that don't sleep like me. Haha I never update this because it takes too long. Twitter is taking over my life. You can follow me at http://twitter.com/queenofjuicy. Anyway, Huey comes back today from New York!! That little bz got to travel across the country as I sat around and daydreamed in summer school. Depressing. Also, Brian, Andrew, Ryan, and I have become gambleholics. I lost $100 today and Ryan almost lost $300! Yikessss. I was angry at myself earlier but now I'm over it. Yeah, that money could've been put towards my iphone or college, but whatever, at least I had fun. I seriously need to refrain from shopping. At least until back to school shopping starts. I'll just spend it on food ... but then again, that can actually be pretty pricy. I want froyo and jamba juice so bad right now. Ahhh.

I will leave you with my new life motto:
