A Day in My Life
This was my third post at
adayinmylife , and I decided to post it to my lj. It's my Tuesday, February 20, when I went to see Legally Blonde in San Francisco with some friends =)
You can't read that clock, but I promise it says 5:55 am. Ouch. Thus, I am completely unable to get a picture of myself. I have 10 pictures of various sections of my hair....yeah, I rock.
First things first. Time to finally buy my Relient K (w/ Mae and Sherwood) tickets (it's payday)! Sooo excited!
Except then I get discouraged by the price, and decide not to buy them yet (especially given the amount of money I had to shell out for the night's activities). This can also count for my bedhead pic (w/in 15 min of waking up).
Time to put a little curl in my step =P I didn't actually use both those curling irons, but I plug them both in anyhow, just to be kooky.
Then I do something I rarely do (not gonna lie): make my bed! There are different rules governing my life when I have plans to go out.
You can just see a snippet of it in my last pic. This is my lovely rasterbation. Too bad we're moving (thus selling our house), so my dad just told me I have to take it down. Laaame. That's also the 'S' in my giant "SMILE" (spelled out of puzzle pieces painted black)
All packed up and ready to go! Where to?
But then I realized that I didn't take many pictures of me getting ready (sorry! I was running late!), so here's a pic of me...almost done, and weighed down by my many bags. I don't usually dress up this much to go to class (curled hair, black slacks, and such), particularly so early in the morning. But I had a speech, and some excitement later in the night, and I wouldn't have time to change.
A breakfast to keep me going during my many classes....plain oatmeal with cinnamon, Splenda, and bananas. Delish.
Post-makeup, and clearly too happy for 7 in the morning.
By the time I get out the door, it's...
My latest favorite song (great CD btw)...
Couldn't take a pic in my first class (Speech 1), but here's the bathroom break before my 2nd class (American Cultures in Music).
A much-needed Diet Coke break.
Time check =) Yes, those are paper clips....
Music classroom! We watched a film on Jazz in New Orleans the whole time.
Midway through the film, I take one of these. It's only 0.5 mg!
My school is in "wine country" city, and we have a Viticulture program. Here are some grapes on campus, and in the background, you can kinda see a massive amount of grapevines on the hill.
Take note of my mileage. I started this day at zero.
I actually have a Geology class right now, but I'm skipping it today because the class is mostly online and I have an errand to run. Here I am enjoying some Valentine's Kissables. My favorite!
First stop...to pick up some meds.
Back at home...
I find my brother. Haha, we are both shocked to see each other. I forgot he didn't have school that day. (He's spinning on his computer chair).
I finish up some amaaaazing salad. I love it...we found the recipe at Trader Joe's one time. It's broccoli, dried blueberries, pistachios, and Oriental Chicken salad dressing...so good.
This is how I dance. I'm super awesome. Heheh...
My reason for coming home. I won't be sleeping at my house tonight.
My brother begs me to take him to 7-Eleven, and tries to bribe me by breakdancing. Actually, I think he dropped his Tech Deck under my car.
In exchange for my driving him, he buys me these to get me through class. Yay!
A lil touch up because I'm back on campus a little early.
That building in the front, right behind the cars, is where my next class is (Problems of Childhood, or Child Psyc, basically). I love it because my teacher rocks, and I had him for two psyc classes last semester.
Notes from last class. We had just started talking about the structure of the brain, which was kinda bland considering I took a whole class on Brain Psyc last semester.
This is our Science building, where I have my Geology lab. It was stressful because she didn't give us enough time to finish our test. Gah, but I still got a perfect score =D Whee...
Finally done with class for the day! I'm off to my old school (San Jose State University) to pick up my friends ;)
I swear I'm usually a great, safe driver, but I was running late. So this is what it looks like when I change shoes, fix my makeup, and snack on more Kissables while I'm in traffic (I was so stressed about the time...I stress easily, and I was fully running late).
Ew.
By the time I get to San Jose:
I just met these two people that night (friends of my best friend). We're on our way to watch Legally Blonde, the musical, in San Francisco! (It was utterly amazing, by the way. You'd think it'd be really lame, but it wasn't at all, and Laura Bell Bundy, who plays Elle Woods is wonderful. We all loved it soo much).
That girl on the left is my best friend Caitlin. I've known her since 7th grade, and I absolutely love her to pieces.
Another great friend (she was in my first DIML!). I lived with her and Caitlin last year at SJSU.
San Francisco City Hall. It's absolutely beautiful, when you can see it.
After picking up our tickets at Will Call, we needed bathrooms and food, so we walk a few blocks down Market to the San Francisco Shopping Center. It's where that red, vertical Westfield banner is.
The San Francisco Shopping Center has an awesome food court, and we spend about an hour there, waiting for the show to start.
Almost time to go back!
Katie and I both had the same thing for "dinner": a crepe with caramel, bananas, and whipped cream. Yummy.
So funny story - Caitlin bought these cookies from a market there, but they were like no cholesterol, no sugar, no...anything. So they didn't taste very good. No one wanted to eat them, and we couldn't take them into the theater, so Caitlin tried to give them away to a homeless man who was..blind and a little hard of hearing, I believe. He didn't understand her, and it turned awkward. She then tried to give them to a security guard outside, who didn't accept them. Finally, a homeless women took them, and Caitlin promises, "There's nothing wrong with them!"
Having a little too much fun in the bathroom at the Golden Gate Theater.
Waiting for the show to start. That pendant says Elle Woods. (I then get yelled at for having a camera. I won't let the man keep me down!)
My notes at intermission (I have to write a paper on it). Haha, don't judge my handwriting. I was writing in complete dark, on a random piece of paper. I forgot about my assignment until 5 minutes before the show.
After dropping those two girls off at their apartment complex, I'm back at SJSU with Katie and Caitlin. And I've driven 173 miles today. Awesome...on a sidenote, I just filled up my tank again today, and it cost $38.32. Not cool.
I seriously forget what they were trying to do. But I'm not sure they succeeded.
Haha, that's a Kissable on my tongue. Caitlin gave up chocolate for Lent, so she was eating them to get her fix in before Ash Wednesday (at midnight). Thus, I was compelled to help her. I told you - I'm super cool....
And obviously, so are they. Wow, I just noticed that they match. Yes, I do pay attention to the world around me. Sometimes.
My old home!
After a night of awesome fun, I buckle down to finish an essay due the next day. Shortly thereafter, all hell breaks loose. My old roomie's friend and boyfriend are already there when I arrive. Then two more people with whom I'm also friends come over. Then my best guy friend surprises me and comes over as well! It was a definite party (haha, in the Tuesday night, good girl sense of the word), and sadly, I didn't take pictures. So imagine the bunch of us sitting around talking about nothing, while I carry my laptop around in hopes of finishing.
After they've all gone, I get back to work, and pretty much finish. (I had to write about a character from Lord of the Flies)
And finally, I get to sleep. I couldn't take a picture because whenever I go down to SJSU, I sleep on Katie's floor, and she had already been asleep for a while, so I didn't wanna wake her with the flash (even though I woke her up when I opened the door =P).
