Life Update: With pictures! Valentine's Day and such
Ah.. Valentine's Day. Also known to some as Single's Awareness Day. That bit didn't hit me until the day was nearly over, after I had just seen a cute romantic comedy with friends. :0
Anyway, update on life. Scheduling classes for next quarter, did something cute for V-day, and ... got my haircut! Like... serious haircut!
My sister made me sadfaced because she said I looked old.
It's a teaser picture.. since 1) I want to wait until I can either see you in person (although that's hard for quite a few of you) and 2) a lot of them are ugly pictures :( It is also now much more vital for me to have a scarf since my neck is now bare...
For another one of my food-blog type entries:
Strawberry cupcakes and dark chocolate frosting hearts!
These three were specially for my housemates [me included!] :) If you can read the note, the "RAAK" refers to the names of our people... Rebecca, Amanda, and Anna Kate (to differentiate the other A).
I got this random idea probably days before Valentine's Day, but unfortunately I had no muffin pan. I could have waited, since I was going to get one from home this weekend, but a slice of cake isn't as cute as a cupcake. Therefore.. I just went out to Vons Thursday morning to get the pan and a few odds and ends.
Some of the hearts ended up reminding me of Mickey Mouse ears.
Close up of the pink cupcakes.
I went all out with decorating the wrapping... oh why...
They look so 3-D! Hm... why is there glue in the background?
I already woke up later than I had wanted, and I had to swatch for my costume design class. The playhouse opened at 8, and it was going to close at 4, so going after all my classes was a big "no."
The other downer was the rain. Holding an umbrella and the two pans of cupcakes was actually quite uncomfortable. I was also getting kind of sad because even by 5pm, I had only passed out 2 cupcakes. :( I didn't really have a list of people to give them to, but yeah...
I was glad though that by the end of the day I only had 2 left, and I gave them to my mom and my sister when I got home.
Besides the cupcake thing, I didn't have anything planned. I knew I was going to go home with Daphne early the next morning, so I didn't have anything to work on. But when I went to Angela's apartment to give her her cupcake, she invited me to her dinner & movie with the others :) It was last-minute, but I was really glad I was able to go. We went to Sipz, a vegan restaurant that Vidhi recommended to us.
There was something intangible about the dinner that I really enjoyed. Perhaps it was just the company and the atmosphere, or that we could all just be together.. I don't know. I'm such a sentimental person. LOL
Afterwards we went to see Definitely, Maybe, with good old Ryan Reynolds and some other people I know lol. It was cute... and even though all the other movies I've seen him in were pretty idiotic, this one was nice. On a tangent, I kinda feel sad that he and Alanis Morissette ended their engagement. As opposite I thought they were of each other, they seemed cute together. But anyway, after that movie, I felt the bitter sting of being a "singleton," as Bridget Jones lovingly called it.
Wednesday night, I had dinner with Sara to catch up :) I hadn't really talked with her for a good year... Probably not since living with her in first year. How sad. We've gone to school together since 3rd grade! I hope we can hang out a lot more often now. Our chat mostly was about living situations and oh-so-fun high school memories. LOL
A couple weeks ago, Dante and I had our familiy social. (Seriously.. why did ours have so many people?!) We went to his place to watch She's the Man, and lots of Friends XD Too much pizza. but our dessert was homemade pizookies! :D
The children.... LOL! This was supposed to be our serious/nice picture, but for some reason I'm already eating. HAHA
And for the funny one... apparently I dripped and was laughing so it came out weird.
My day to register for classes is Tuesday. I don't really know what I'm taking. I'm feeling a bit conflicted too. I've got 4 classes lined up, and an extra one just in case, but right now my schedule will end up looking just like this quarter: sucky. Having 3 back-to-back classes on T/Th is not fun. And yet, I want to take all of them. I need two more upper division classes in the social sciences for my PofC, and I wanted to fulfill those with Psych classes. I want to take behavioral psych for my own interests, and socio psych to get the GE out of the way while also taking it with Vidhi & some other people; I have to take Japanese, and there's a particular history class being offered for my major that looks interesting (most likely only taught once a year). With that schedule, I'll have 3 back-to-back, like I said.. and then 4pm classes MWF. Eww? I'm feeling quite conflicted, but I still have a couple days to think about it.
