...and the verdict on this last day of my summer vacation is that it was spent productively but as any self-respecting perfectionist would feel, i think it still felt wasted.
i didn't find a job but it wasn't really my aim to find one so that went according to plan. i religiously stuck to my workout schedule for the entire vacation and i'm in the best shape i've ever been in so that's always a good thing. i never slacked off on my martial arts classes and i've made it so that my schedule still includes the classes six or seven times a week so that feels like it was mega-productive, i mean, it literally became my life at some points, i have to admit it can get very obsessive. i cut my hair which was counter-productive because i have to spend three or four months after cutting it to grow it back; long hair is so much easier to manage but then again so is shaving it all off, i'd look so bad with a shaved head. i took a vacation, to hawaii, there's no way in hell that could be a waste. but hey, it's vacation, why am i caring whether or not it was a waste? at my age, vacation is synonymous with fun and frivolities.i finished putting together all the supplies i need to start school yesterday and cleaned my car from top to bottom. i went shopping for new clothes today but it's not like it will matter. it's a new school, no one will know me enough to realize that i'm wearing the same clothes as always but i still won't do it. Xp. i paid all my fees yesterday, i just need to pick up my receipt and parking permit tomorrow morning before i go to my first class. i still need to buy my books and withdraw my scholarship money from my government account but those can wait. tomorrow, i'll go to my first day of college and take my first class, show up to petition another class and see if i can get in on it, go to my second class and petition another one. i don't really care if i don't get in so i've got nothing to lose there. this is it, i'm ready.i spent the day in the alhambra/montery park and brea/rowland heights/diamond bar areas today. my mom, my brother, my great-aunt and i all drove up to alhambra to spend the day with my cousin linda and my aunt. we went to noodle cafe to eat and i was reminded that i have to go to regent cafe and savoy to eat sometime. then my mom, aunt, and great-aunt took off to chinatown alone and linda and i ended up leaving my brother at home to go to the brea mall. i've never been to the rowland heights/diamond bar area but i always heard it was a nice place to hang out and that there were lots of cute girls there. there were but the place was packed, but what do you expect on a sunday afternoon. so we went and linda bought me two shirts and a pair of pants. she tricked me because she told me she would pay for my clothes because i didn't have money on me and when later refused to take my money. plus all the food she bought me, family are awesome aren't they?
omg, i've never heard of hollister co before! the nearest place to me is the one we went to and it takes a while to get there. it's just like abercrombie & fitch but more affordable and that whole discrimination thing towards asians has always made me not want to shop at A&F plus it's right next door to A&F so you can tell they're really trying to be a major competitor and it seems as though hollister is winning. it's my new fav next to express men, ugh, it still feels weird to call it express men instead of structure. speaking of express men, they had a sweater i wanted but i didn't have my express card on me which saves me 15% on all purchases so i'm just going to go to the one close to my house tomorrow after i get a haircut. i want new timberland boots, those look good with khaki pants and a black sweater (express), sigh, i shop like a woman.i just noticed i have so much to say, in other words i talk too much, when i blog. weird because in real contact i'm quite softspoken. so the people who haven't met me, i don't talk as much as i do when i write, for the people who do know me and think i talk a lot anyways, shut the fuck up.
