ok...i lied. up-date post-poned!
mega update on hold. final exam in neuro monday 9am. must study non-stop to succeed.
quick-picks: orange for cliff-notes
i bought a new car two weeks ago, today. silve, 4dr, auto, hyundai elantra. i love it. it's bubbly, it's quirky, it's peppy, it's...me.
i failed my first exam, and failed hard. had a major anxiety attack minutes before, which usually subsides after i do some breathing stuff and close my eyes but this was a 19 minute-timed, hands-on practical examination. there was no time for breathing. i have to get to take it over. joy. but this time, with a professor. yeah, that will help my anxiety issues...luckily, my grade on my midterm showed my professor i wasn't an airhead so he's being quite generous. let me just say my final score was half of my midterm. yikes!
i got a book called, "stress control: for peace of mind". hope it works.
and some aromatherapy.
newest craze= adding one more 'pump' of chai to my lattes. yes, still madly addicted to starbucks. i've gone elsewhere but starbucks just perks my taste-buds to a T. and, it's cheaper.
i got a package in the mail from my cousin which made my day- included was my first-ever charm bracelet which i've secretly always wanted and never had. and, now i do. it has an angel charm.
my classmate, brian (who, like our brian, dyslexic naming is suiting: aka, calling him "brain"), moved in upstairs because my roommate moved to new jersey (which was odd because she has only been in the united states for 5 months, and never east of pomona,ca). it's nice having a classmate, let alone a semi-social roommate. although, when i study i cave-dwell anyway so there isn't much social chit-chat time.
i tried to plan a secret trip to berkeley for my friend anne's birthday and graduation, and was all set... flight and all! but, with me failing my exam and having to retake it... i can no longer afford the time. that still saddens me. luckily, i didn't tell her i would be coming so it's only my heart that aches. i miss anne a lot. hopefully she'll make it down to so cal soon.
so much for quick picks, right?
last one... new 'plan' for summer= screw hawaii... i'm too poor and it's too expensive. brett and i are going to road-trip up the western coast instead... it's actually much cheaper. maybe a lil' 101 up to nor cal, then to mt. shasta, through medford up into portland...visit the fam then head on up to seattle to see helen and brett's bf will. perhaps, since it's so close and i haven't been... we'll drive to canadia. i like canadia. and, i prefer saying canadia over canada. it sounds more appealing to me.
ok. one lecture left!! which, for me... is astonishing (and wonderful)! then, i can start studying rather than catching up. i have listened/watched 22 lectures in less than two days. i don't mess around when there's no time.
ok. the end.
if this is my version of a 'quick-pick' you might need an eye exam after the mega! hehe
ps- san diego time wednesday may 9th :O)
can i keep you?
