3 more days until new year's...

wow.

so christmas came before it even felt like christmas and now new year's is going to come before i realize the year is ending. dang.
christmas was nice. it was so lazy. me and my parents watched 2 hours of tv then me and my mom started watching the Golden Girls season 1 dvd. we finished one disc that night and now we're on the 3rd disc. then, on to season 2! haha i love that show. later we had dinner, watched Up and that was pretty much it.

i went to disneyland with lily and lauren on the 23rd and had a good time. we laughed a lot and in the car ride home, oh god, me and lauren were dying at lily's expense again. felt like highschool. after lauren went home, me and lily went to dipiazzas to see a highschool friend and his band play. they're like, punk ska i guess. that's what lily said. i can't tell genres to save my life unless it's super obvious. they were pretty good. they're called Chase Long Beach and there are 7 ppl in the band. singer, guitar, bass, 2 trumpet, trombone, drummer. i think they've changed a couple of their members since the leader [i'm assuming] said it was their 7th year together. that's a long time. but they've been touring all of america, europe, it's crazy.

tonight they're playing at HOB in anaheim, opening for Reel Big Fish so me and george are going since i always drag him to my concerts.

new year's eve i'm going to disneyland with a few people. i hope we have fun.

i am super tired right now. i only had about 2 - 2 1/2 hours of sleep. and i'm going to a concert tonight, eep! xD

I AM FINISHED!

the semester is finally over. THANK GOD.

and you'd think i'd be in a happier mood. well, i'm not. i am exhausted. can stress build up on you without you even knowing it? i'm sure it's possible. like, you don't think about being stressed but when you finish whatever it is, that stress that was quietly building decides to release itself and you are just pooped.

i WISH i could've gone home after school and taken a nap because trust me, i would've slept like a log for a good couple hours. but noooo, i had to go to work. so the whole time i'm just slouched at my computer, not giving a shit how tired i look or sound. i'm not gonna pretend to be perky and answer anyone in a happy voice. they will get what they see.

*sigh* i'm also hungry. i haven't eaten anything all day except a little piece of bread cake in the morning, a slice of pizza at noon, and a little japanese snack cake about an hour ago. my stomach isn't making noises but because i'm so tired, i need more food. but at the same time, i'm too tired to eat.

tomorrow me and my mom are ditching work and going to disneyland for the day. she wants to see the christmas stuff and the last time we went together was in january for her birthday when she got in for free. then saturday is the disney movie marathon at kelly's house.

and for now, that is all.

almost done with school

just two more finals next week and i will be free!

i won't be taking fencing anymore =[ that would have only got me 11 units and you need 12 to be considered full time. so i swapped that with a women's studies course. so no fun class next semester. now i have a total of 13 units. hopefully i'll be able to handle it. geol110 +lab, anthro120, japn350, w/st...something. i forgot the number.

but yeah. christmas is almost here! then it'll be new years- hopefully at disneyland, then ala.

today, i don't know what i'm doing. default, my mom gets on me to clean parts of the house and my dad bothers me to get wipers for my car.
i'd rather call up cathy and bake something xD which i'll hopefully be able to do later.

i guess that's it. nothing big. bye~

feeling...liberated?

i guess that's the word. a weight lifted off my shoulders? breathing a sigh of relief? something like that.

my last post i was totally depressed, but the next morning, driving to school, i realized something. i can change my major to asian american studies. i knew i could've changed my major before, but i didn't know to what. i don't know why i didn't think that far before, but i could major in asam and just get a certificate in japanese.

after looking up the requirements for the certificate, i think i'm almost done with the upper-division courses. if what i've taken is good, then i don't have to retake 302 & 312 or take 451. HALLELUJAH!!! i just have to take a few electives which aren't taught in japanese anyway. SO happy.

also, i'm thinking of taking sabre fencing next semester. i read that the teacher gives crazy hard tests for just a 1 unit course, but i'm thinking of taking it cr/nc anyway. i just need to find two more classes since i'm not taking japanese anymore.

but yeah, i hope i can do that. i'll have to look into changing my major asap. i wonder if you can do it at the end of a semester.

happy december

it is finally december and it feels like november flew by like nothing.

as of this entry, i changed my design. it's a pretty light blue with snowflakes. the green and red were a little too strong. i think it's good for winter and not just christmas.

anyways. finals are in two weeks, i have a project presentation tomorrow, and i feel like i have a bunch of other things to do. again, i build it up in my head and make it seem like it's more than it really is. i have to get letters of recommendation from my two japanese teachers, get on the application for japan, and just try and survive the next two weeks.

i registered for classes today and i think this was the first time since i've started at csulb that i've had a smooth registration. usually i'm constantly worrying about whether or not i'll make the class if i'm on waitlist or i'm just trying to decide which classes to take. really, i only get to choose two since the other two are defaulted with japanese.
...which i'm really, REALLY, not looking forward to. i don't know if it's all the stress of this semester building up, but times like this, i wish i didn't have to take those classes. i wonder why my major is still japanese if i don't enjoy it in the classroom. i know life isn't supposed to be easy, i get that and i hear it all the time. but can't life be fun? not fun and games, just fun. can't i enjoy what i'm doing? can't i do things i enjoy?

i don't know if going to japan is for me. i can't imagine myself over there by myself for a whole year. i can't even afford it. $26,000. i wonder how long i'd have to work to earn that much money, because that is A LOT of money. and since i'm feeling like this, it seems like too much work.

i'm just going to stop.

PMX review...sorta

PMX was a lot of fun. i didn't think it was going to be so eventful, but i did a lot.
first night was the NOIZ concert and that was so cool. a little bit into it, they announced they were having a second concert the next day. THAT was cool of them to do that. they played alot of songs i didn't recognize and a few older ones that had me and kelly jumping.
after that was george's surprise birthday thing. jun and jeremy were nice enough to set up while we were at the concert, decorating the room and getting pizza and stuff. i think george liked it. we had yummy pizza and pumpkin pie. and had streamers all over the room. it looked cool xD
the second day was the NOIZ panel. we missed the first half of it but eh,they were just answering fan questions.
after the panel they were having an autograph session! the schedule only said panel so me and kelly were surprised and happy. when we were lining up for the autographs, they said first they were going to take pictures and everyone was allowed one picture with the whole band.

UchuuSentai NOIZ

THAT was what i was waiting for since i knew they were coming back. last time they came i took a pic with them after asking them to stick their tongues out. and i did it again!
after the pictures, we got back in line to get their autographs. i bought a cd on friday so i had them sign the cover [the inside still had the old members]. i think we went to carl's jr after that while amanda and kelly went to the press panel. then later we got ready for the 2nd concert and that was pretty cool as well. completely new setlist and kelly was down in front taking pictures.
then...i don't remember exactly what we did. but i know we took alot of purikura that day. at night we went to the dance. that was fun too. jesse was there and he danced with us. dj ouji [i forgot his real name] had more of a hiphop sound and played "sexy bitch" and i started spazzing. that's one of my favorite songs to turn up in my car right now and the fact i could hear it at a ridiculous volume and dance to it was amazing. i was singing and jumping like crazy. but i wish i had someone else who liked the song as well. we left maybe toward the end of tweek's set. we were getting tired xD
so i guess it's sunday at this point. amanda was going to shower and sleep when krista, rachel, and andy came into our room. there was drama going on and yeah. needless to say, amanda didn't shower right away and later on we went on bathroom adventures. we went to sleep around 6am.
we were pretty lazy the next morning. packed and ready, we were just watching tv until we absolutely had to leave the room...at around 2pm xD
me and kelly went to the deco room and if you bought something of their''s, you could use their supplies and decorate the shit out of something. so kelly bought something to decorate her phone. i wanted to decorate something but didn't have anything...so i decided on blingin up my camera. it's pink and sparkly now. i wish i had brought a mirror or something to i could decorate that. but eh. i like it =] i still have to get used to it. everytime i look at it, i'm still surprised xD.
anyways. that was my weekend. at the end, some of us went to disneyland to watch the Remember fireworks that they brought back for that weekend.

quick update

since i haven't done anything in about a month @_@

i can't remember/don't have the time right now to go back over stuff that happened since my last update. i know i went to disneyland a few times, party at kelly's house and amber's house, stuff at school, I GOT A B ON MY PAPER!!! :D and that's all i can get off the top of my head right now.

i'm at work and i'm only gonna be here until 12 or so since I'M GOING TO PMX!!! woo~ hehe capslock happy. anyways yeah. gotta still pack and that means over packing since i never know exactly what i'm going to wear. i figure if i bring enough, i can pick and choose when i'm there depending on event and mood. OH! and there's a purikura machine this year. SO COOL. i hope it doesn't break down halfway through con. but it seems legit so i think it'll be fine. AND! it's open 24hours of the con! now that's cool. we can have at it at 1am when hopefully it's not as crowded.
there's also a concert i wanna go to tonight. three hours and FOUR acts. FOUR! what? are two of them only getting 30mins then the other two get an hour? 45mins? UchuuSentai NOIZ is here again since 3 years ago when they first came. i hope we can take a picture with them again. that was really cool.

anyways. i guess that's it for now. bye~
