Thanksgiving BREAK!

It is finally break. Bolt bus is no longer the best. I'm currently on a greyhound updating this post. Yes greyhound has wifi.

1. I'm going black friday shopping tomorrow at midnight. WOOOOOO.

2. I'm Sigma Phi Epsilon's new Vice President of Membership Development. This means I'm third in line for the presidency. Muhahahaha

3. ITS FREAKING BREAK. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanksgiving BREAK!

plasians, home, and bdays

1. soobs: tried to order toast... at a bar.
frat: "i wish... i could remember how those fries tasted"
- this defines our friday night. and we (team plasians) played family feud.
* please note: plasians=plex (a dorm on campus often inhabited by asians where frat and j live) + asian. j is a plex-asian, but not a plasian. i am a mc-asian. frat is a wexy plite (foster walker white). and a is a white sorority girl who speaks some chinese.
2. 5 days to home! actually only 4 now...
3. it was my fave (and only) roomie's bday tuesday! which began with bday shots and our local bar with fuzzy memories and other bodily fluids and also included 2 chocolate cakes and an excess of junk food in our room. both a blessing and a curse.

SLEEEEP

1. i love sleep but unfortunately im basically an insomniac...so yesterday when i realized i'd be 10 min late to my 20 person class i decided it'd be better to just sleep through it. then i decided my other two classes weren't worth getting up for either...finally i was woken up around 3pm by a fire drill. so i grabbed some clothes and ran to butler to do work that i should have started on friday...yeah, productive day. and when i looked to dwang for some moral support because i was embarrassed to be seen in public still half asleep, he laughed at me and asked for a picture. thanks.

2. on saturday i went to a peaches concert!! ok so i don't really know peaches that well, but my sister and her roommate are obsessed and managed to convince the rest of us to get tickets too. it was tons of fun (peaches is def dancing music) and also really interesting...peaches is kinda crazy to say the least haha. oh and we went with some people that went to lhs and were also in class of '08...and who i never knew existed. weird. then one of then got a bag of like 30 bagels for free in some random store...still not sure how that happened.

3. I BOUGHT MY TICKETS FOR GUATEMALA!!!!!!!!!!!! SOO EXCITED :)

this past week

this week was actually maybe the best week ever for me... and on an unrelated note, i'm pretty that i just used up my life's supply of luck:

1. last thursday, bill gates talked to me when i just happened to be in the right place at the right time. then warren buffet came over and started talking to bill gates right in front of me... it was awesome.
2. last saturday, i was in the audience of snl... everyone should do this before they die.
3. last thursday, i got free bubble tea. this was especially incredible :)

right now it seems sooo close to thanksgiving break, and it cant come fast enough...

november adventures

1. i went out the night before a paper that i hadn't started was due and still managed to turn it in on time, not to mention i think i rocked it.

 2. i played baseball with some friends yesterday. in the last inning my team was one point away from tying the game but we had two outs already when i got up to bat, and i finally made my first hit of the game and got to second base. then my friend (who was a baseball star in high school) hit the ball right to the pitcher and got out. but no worries, the game was fun anyways.

3. on friday i learned how to pop, lock, house and breakdance! or at least i tried. me and my friend went to a workshop with a breakdance group on campus where they taught us how to do stuff like moonwalk, the wave, and do freezes. my friend and i decide we were going to come back every week so we could make cool breakdancing friends. we'll see how that works out.

this week i've...

-passed (key word: passed) a bio midterm... i had to use calculus.
-realized frat gave me soooo many good songs today
-survived a shopping trip w/ our good friend who is like a shopaholic
- haven't had a roommate for 2 weekends in a row :(
- had a nightmare about having a cut which ended up under my ear and getting stitches and i could feel the needle piercing my ear and then digging through my skin
- finally bought party in the usa
- and definitely exceeded the requisite 3 points. and probably could keep going.

cant.do.work.

1. i think its time for another break already...i couldn't get myself to do any work this weekend, even though i have 2 midterms and 2 psets coming up. in my procrastination though, i managed to do my laundry and wash my dishes...so i was kinda productive?

2. i got brunch with laya and some of her nyu friends and it was so fun and soo delicious! (cafe lalo - the cafe from you've got mail!!!!!!) the desserts looked especially delicious...i think we spent a lot of time just staring at the all the pies and cakes and fruit tarts....they must have had like 50 choices or something. too bad i had to leave early and missed out on getting dessert. i did get a huge cream puff earlier this weekend though. so yummy.

3. rlu and i made it downtown for free yoga and it was sooo good. but yoga is also actually really hard, despite what you might think, so now i'm sore everywhere (or mostly just like all of my core muscles so i cant laugh), but it was a perfect start to the weekend :) oh and i went to the gym but lost a pair of earrings there (fell out of my bag?) so im mad and dont want to go back for awhile. the gym sucks. yoga is way better anyway.

Trip to Lehigh

So bobby and i went to visit nick at lehigh.

1) We played this game which was full contact pong. This means when the ball hits the floor it's still fair game. I saw bobby wreck a kid. Quite excellent.

2) We did an hourglass which is 228 cup pong. So the two triangles touch at the tips and it looks like an hourglass. I would've died that night, but before we ate three 16" pizzas so all the bread must have saved my life.

3) Drank until 7am which culminated in waking up at 4:30pm and missing the daylight all together.

I hate beer.

this week i...

1. got on a bike for the first time in several years! i made it a whole three inches before i fell on the ground. win.

2. enjoyed the beautiful weather that kawang talked about. it was in the 70's practically all day so i made it my goal to be outside for as long as possible. we went shopping at old orchard (which is mostly outdoors and looks nothing like the "old orchard" they go to in mean girls), went running outside by the lake with kawangatang and have been walking up and down campus all day. another win.

3.  walked into a glass door at the mall. yup, like the birds in the windex commercial that smash into door because it's so clear. it didn't help that the day before i tried to reach in to a glass case. fail.

oh what a beautiful morrrrrrninggggggg

1. it is GORGEOUS outside. after like forever that's been cloudy/rainy/basically gross and cold it's SUNNY and in the 60s! it's almost ridiculous but i have to get my butt outside soon.
2. today's biology day. aka hardcore time to learn lots of bio/write up a lab. but i yet again passed orgo.
3. halloween=hilarious mess. and now i'm soooo excited for thanksgiving/xmas break and going home and seeing everyone! and the food... my roomie and i watched eloise at christmastime monday night and it was the cutest thing ever. and had a 54 day countdown going. and are planning on putting up xmas lights soon!

andd part 4. nu football beat iowa (who was undefeated)!!! weeee go cats!

not a good start, thanks november

1. tufts' dining's idea of chicken tika masala is pitiful, and should be made illegal. at first i was like oOoOo that looks delicious, but upon tasting i was outraged. be warned.

2. getting sick on college campuses is so easy. and then it kicks your ass because class goes on, you being ill or not.

3. asian pacific heritage month is in may, but since tufts doesn't really have classes in may, they moved it to november. so when i saw the flyer, i was terribly confuzzed

on the theme of fall break...

1. i survived a weekend with my mother. barely. just kidding... kinda. anyway, got some new running clothes and moccasins and all of miranda's twizzlers, so it was a wild success of a weekend in terms of stuff. in terms of work, not so much.
2. i saw the michael jackson movie, and it was wicked good. i wasnt a fanatic or anything before, but the guy can sing and dance like no one else. everyone should see it asap.
3. i'm trying megabus tomorrow for the first time. people say fung wah must be bad b/c it only costs $15, but megabus only costs 1$ if you type hotdeal at checkout, so i wonder what im getting myself into with a 1$ bus ticket...

laterade.

Fall Break

1. It's fall break = worry free time. I'm sitting in my room having just come back from the gym with my best friends listening to all the covers of Here Comes the Sun. We're about to watch Enchanted in our home theater. Life does not get any better right now.

2. Taylor Swift came out with a Platinum Version of Fearless featuring 6 new songs (well 5 for me since I got one of the songs 6 months ago through my Taylor stalking). We're about to listen to that.

3. The rugby team is creating a naked calender to help fundraise money for our tour in Italy and France this spring break. I posed for August this weekend. Quite an experience. Let me know if you would like to buy one. It's for a good cause.

goodbye october

halfway through the semester- can't believe it but at the same time i am so over my classes.

1. i had tapas for the first time tonight! solea in waltham. really good food but expensive. delicious.

2. halloween was great. i was peter griffin, and i must say dancing in that costume was a blast.

3. i enrolled in the 160 meal plan this semester, which averages to about 10 meals/week. 2 days ago i was supposed to be at the 80 meal mark, but i am still at 101 today. how does one use all their meals when they are faced with the land of gross? we are also forced to get this 160 meal plan if we live in university housing that doesn't have a kitchen.

happy midterms!
