depressed...

maybe its cuz im listening to depressing music...

"remember when i said i love you
well forget it
i take it back
i was just a stupid kid back then
i take back every word that i said"

maybe its cuz i realize that this is my last year here at usc...and there are actually things that im going to miss...maybe its cuz my classes are going to be so damn hard this semester...maybe its cuz i put myself in these retarded situations that are going to hurt me in the end...maybe its cuz im tired...

maybe its cuz im just bored...

but yet...theres still have so much to do...

maybe its cuz im happy...and i havent been in a long time...and i dont know how long this is going to last...

does that make any sense?

i need to escape reality.........................

look how cute we were:

alright! been awhile since i've been online...why? cuz friggin school started...can you believe that? my summer is OVER! took awhile to set up the internet connection cuz i got a new laptop...suppose to have wireless...but i havent gotten to configuring it yet...too lazy...will later i guess...

let me see...thur went to dnb and again it was a reunion of sorts...

fri went down to sd and ate at this place called bully's...the boys got 22 oz. prime ribs...and the bill wasnt even that bad...<cough> and ryan paid for us all!!! we were in shock for like 5 minutes...but its cool =) hes getting more responsible...its cute =P came home at 6am...

sat went to the beach...chilled and got a lil tan =) then went mongolian bbq...chilled at home...then headed up to LA for pauls party...met up annie too and chatted forever...gossip...=)...the party was pretty eh...by the time i wanted to drink...everyone was already drunk...so whatever...haha...got home at 4am...

sunday...spent all day transfering my files from my old computer to my new one...then at night laguna asked if i want to go to matsuhisa and of course...i cant resist trying some place new...esp if its sushi =)...so went to dinner with them...spent $45 on 14 pieces of sashimi...good times...good times...but it was sooooooo delicious...the friggin yellowtail and tuna...amazing...even the white fish was good and i dont usually like white fish...i was a happy happy girl...after that...finished transfering my files and headed up to school...chilled a lil at paul...and went to sleep

monday...first day of classes...looks like its going to be a tough year...i love my schedule though...3 days of classes only...chinese is going to rape me...chinese language theres two girls...ones from china and then moved to canada...so shes basically fob...and another girl has spent the last 10 years in taiwan...theres only 5 of us in that class...and my chinese business class...im waiting outside with like 4 white guys...so im thinking...maybe this wont be so bad...i was talking one of the guys and was like...so you speak chinese? and he's like...well...i spent a year in chinese during high school...so im thinking...ok...thats not too bad...we get in and start doing intro's...his chinese is PERFECT...like PERFECT...the girl i was sitting next to...we just looked at each other like...fuck...and then for comm im taking empirical research...which i thought was a bunch of papers...but actually...its one big experiement/project...and it involves statistics and stuff...<grumble>...we're COMM majors...we dont do math! my other comm class in tonight...and then im also taking a classical rock class...music of the 60's and 70's...so far its pretty good...we talked about like...led zeppelin, the beatles, jimi hendrix, and DRUGS =) haha...he says it wont be an easy course though...but itll be my fun class =)

went to costco this morning...bought a bunch of food...=) and got a hot dog of course =P should figure out this wireless business now...ill leave you a fuzzy pix from steve's camera at paul's party...=P

andy and i were talking about how embarrasing it was that we both like this song...

How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Dont think its too late

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when

Well i hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

hmm...so last night after 2 hrs of waiting around <which really wasnt that bad cuz then i saw most of the oc and nip/tuck =) > finally went to jacuzzi...only to stay there for like 15 minutes cuz the jacuzzi was milky and everyone got out...haha...it was pretty gross...i have no idea what that stuff was...but it couldnt have been any good...

moved in today =)...my roommate is insane...i got to unlock the door and she had a doormat!...then i open the door and the entire place is decroated with flowers and horses...its seirously insane...she even had a candy bowl on the table...and i walk into the room and she has a bow...like a bow and arrow bow...hanging on the wall...and its not some wimpy one...its pretty bad ass...i guess she likes purple too...cuz everything was purple...but yeah...she seems like a nice girls...white obviously...red hair...something like a biomedicial/mechanical engineer major...haha...insane...and shes a senior too...but she must be fuckin smart to have gotten this far...

waived my insurance and paid my tuition...<grumble>...went to 84 and got a jamba juice...got some free bbq food from cardinal...chilled at pauls...went to the whale...wow...haha...its back to being in LA...heehee...

home again now...family is leaving for japan tomorrow without me...boo! they suck...oh well...

oh! im addicted to the oc and in love with nip/tuck...still think nip/tuck is a horrible name...but its a fantastic show...if you havent watched it...theyre having a marathon next week on fx starting from the first episode...10pm nightly...watch watch watch...=)

alright...im done...

its funny how some things happen when you least expect them to happen...and then it happens and it changes everything and makes you realize this and that and what you should be doing and clears everything up...and you know exactly what you should do when it happens...but then...its really up to you if you want to change things or not...or let what happened effect you...its up to you to take what you learned and apply it...

obviously theres something distressing me...and i dont really know how to go about the situation...in my mind i know what i should do and what would be the ideal thing to do...but im just having a hard to doing it...i guess that's life...but this time i really shouldnt just sit around and see what happens...cuz its just not going to work...awoighwoeihg bleh bleh bleh blah blah blah...

havent had one of these blog entires in awhile...im pissed that my archives arent working again...oh well...going to go watch a movie or something...move in is tomorrow...bye bye
