First week of school

So! I have survived my first week back to school.  Granted, it's PCC and not grad school just yet... it was still a bit nerve wracking. I feel pretty old in my class, but today I was partnered up with a lady who's at least 30, so I don't feel too bad. Besides school, I've just been going to the gym and watching LOTS of TV. My life is pathetically boring and my bank account is in dire need of a paycheck.  I've already applied to like 10 jobs and have no heard ANYTHING from anyone just yet. Jerks. I didn't even get a TELLER job at WaMu. I'm in trouble. I feel like the biggest loser ever... bleh.

Last weekend I went to SF to visit Ellen for five days. That was fun fun fun!

Thursday, 2/14 - drove up, had take out, watched Law & Order SVU

Friday, 2/15 - Google lunch with Melissa, dinner with Emily and Melissa, Lone Palm bar with Emily, Melissa, Ellen, and Phill

Saturday, 2/16 - dim sum with Ellen, Phill, and Peter, Union Square, dinner at The Spot (weird Korean food) with the ladies (Ellen, Bo, Oranuj, Jen, Olivia plus Emily & Aaron), karaoke

Sunday, 2/17 - brunch with Emily, Melissa, Ellen, park picnic with Bo, Oranuj, Jen, Olivia, Ed, coffee, Nordstrom Rack, dinner at OSHA Thai with Ellen, Bo, and Olivia, met up with all the ladies again for drinks in the Mission

Monday, 2/18 - McD's breakfast with Ellen, drove home... got back to Arcadia around 4 pm.

Very very fun filled weekend in SF.  Hopefully I'll be able to get back up there in late March or early April and visit Ellen in her new apt.  But first, I hope I can get a job. Yeesh. I'm dying without income. I wish I had saved more when I was actually working. *sigh

Happy Valentine's Day!

So I just got to SF a few hours ago... the drive was long and boring as usual but thankfully traffic-free (until I hit the bay bridge of course).  I'm going to have a romantic evening hanging out with Ellen... it will include take-out and some lovey-dovey TV (Law & Order: SVU). Hilarious.

Here's a fabulous parody of Heidi Montag's Higher video... so funny. Enjoy!

Yay Happy Chinese New Year!  I wore red today to celebrate :) Not like it matters because we don't celebrate it at home. For dinner, instead of a yummy Chinese feast, I made spaghetti. Not very exciting. Hehe, hopefully tomorrow we can eat Chinese food. So nothing new for me to report... just hanging out in Arcadia, dwindling my savings, kind of looking for a job but being hella picky, sleeping, and going to the gym. I saw my trainer today for the second time and I'm embarrassed to report that I almost blacked out. Yikes. We did some abs stuff, inner thigh side squat things, and yeah I just lost it during my last set of side squats. I got super light headed and started seeing the tell-tale spots so I had to sit down and rest for a few minutes. So weak. I think I just need to eat something like 45 minutes before I hit the gym instead of eating like 3 hours before. Hmm. I'll eat next time and see if that helps?  I'm pretty proud of myself for going to the gym so often though. I went last week on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Weeee.

Anyway, what else have I been doing? I've been playing poker with my old high school guy friends one night a week and I've been hanging out with Susie whenever she has time off from work.  Tomorrow I'm dropping off my grad application to CSUN *YIKES* I'm excited and scared... I hope my essay is OK. I finished it last night and I think it's acceptable... not super great or anything, but decent I hope. Hm. After that I guess I'll get a pedicure (I have a gift certificate... weee) and hang out at home or hang out with Susie.  My life is pretttty boring. For now... but next week I'm driving up to SF to hang out with Ellen, Melissa, Emily, Cheech, and company before my classes start. Yay! Very exciting... ok. I'm bored with my update like I'm bored with my life.
