Update Time Again

Well nothing much has happened in the last month.  I'm still an unemployed bum, I still sleep way later than a 25 year old should, and I'm as boring as ever.  Hmm let's see what's happened since my last update...

No additional dates have occurred with the guy I went out with last month.  He was really sweet and funny... but I just wasn't that into him.  I think I have a mental block and am just scared to meet new people. Or well, I'm not scared to MEET new people, but to DATE new people is scary.  Also, I haven't spoken to him in over a month. So he's probably not interested in me either. No foul, no harm. Other than that guy, there aren't any other prospects.  I think I just need to stop trying/caring and just enjoy my singledom.

I'm still unemployed but will be working at good ol' Nordy's this upcoming weekend to help out during the sale! I'm pretty excited to reprise my role as shoe cashier and hope that I don't spend more money than I make. That would be totally counter-productive.  No new job prospects either. I've applied to a few local admin type stupid jobs around my house, but unfortunately no one wants to talk/interview/hire me. Lame. Oh well, I'd just like to enjoy my summer before school starts. 

Since my last post, I traveled to Pismo once again with Susie and Chris for a 3-day-middle-of-the-week random trip to eat Jocko's, eat Splash, and watch tv at the condo. Awesome. Susie and I did shop
 a bit at the Pismo Outlets but were greatly disappointed and only bought some big pouffy house slippers (they were like $3... sweeeet).  On the way home we did stop at the Camarillo Outlets and were much luckier! Well, lucky as in we found lots of great things to buy... unlucky because I'm draining my already dry bank account.  I found a really really cute cotton v-neck navy dress from J.Crew, some cute navy shorts, and I think that's it. Susie got a cute dress and top too! Yay shopping!

I also visited San Diego with my family this last weekend. It was a totally fun and wholesome family weekend trip.  We stayed at the Embassy Suites (my mom won two free nights at any Embassy Suites/Hilton in CA), visited my mom's relatives, went to Sea World (which was freaking awesome since I haven't been there since I was like 9 or 10), and hung out at the hotel room.  Embassy Suites probably has the best breakfast at a hotel EVER.  It's just like Google breakfast.  Made-to-order omelette bar, all you can eat bacon, sausage, panclocks, french toast, toast, fruit, oatmeal bar, etc etc etc. Wow, I'm getting a little bit hungry just thinking about it. Hm. Anyway, the trip was pretty awesome.  My aunt and little cousin joined us and it was a great trip overall.  I'll post a few random pics from the trip...
Cutest little penguin ever! I should have bought it...
Jumping picture... FAIL.
Jumping picture... success!

Me looking up a statue's skirt... dirty girl!
Shamu!
Scary sharks... the one on the bottom does NOT look happy.
Dolphin! My favorite animal I think... so smart and cute.
Seals!
Posing for penguin pics!
Walrus pushing his face up on the glass
Family portrait minus my older sister
Making funny faces


So overall... quite a good trip! I love Sea World. They have a ticket deal right now that if you buy a day pass, you can come back ANOTHER day for FREE anytime before the end of 2008. Hopefully I can finagle someone to come with me again. I love animals! Next stop... Magic Mountain or Disneyland or some other theme park perhaps. I forgot how much fun theme parks are.

Oh! I also registered for my classes, got my ID card, and am all set for school! Yay. I'm pretty excited. I hope it's not super duper hard... it's okay if it's kind of hard as long as it's interesting. Wish me luck.

Over and out!

Requested Update

Cheech requested an update... so here we go!  Very quickly though because it's almost 4 am.

1. I passed my Stats class!
2. Which means I have the green light for grad school just as soon as they send me my damn registration time/date... I haven't gotten it yet, even though it seems everyone else has, so a frantic phone call will be made on Monday.
3. I am currently hanging out in Pismo with Ellen! We ate Splash clam chowdah and Jocko's amazing steak.
4. I went on two dates in the last two weeks. Same guy. He's nice I guess but no sparks for me unfortunately.
5. I am now unemployed. I decided I can't stand my bosses and the job was not worth a crappy $9 an hour.
6. I am also now 25. Scary. Quarter life crisis is upon (most of) us.
7. I just saw the Sex and the City movie... it was OK I guess.... Iron Man and Kung Fu Panda were better I think.
8. I can't wait for Get Smart and Wall-E!

The end! Short and sweet.

Quick Update

It's been awhile since I've updated on my personal life... minus the purchase and then untimely death of Herbie Hancock... SO! Here is an update for my three or so readers:

School has been the same. I'm not doing SUPER great in Stats anymore, but I just want a B- or better so whatever.   My online class has finished, thank goodness, because it was mostly just a waste of time.  Somewhat interesting but not so much in an online class setting.  Work is shitty. I really am not enjoying the management and I'm getting tired of dealing with their crap.  One day I'm supposed to do this, and another day it's different, and ultimately the number of responsibilities are going up.  They now want me to always update the website whenever they have changes.  Lame. I'm getting paid almost nothing and the owner still treats me like crap. It's terrible.  I've applied for about 7 jobs today online so hopefully I'll get some kind of word back soon.  If not, well... I'm just going to quit anyway by mid June. Suck on that bitches!

Besides that, nothing else is new.  It was Susie's birthday on Saturday! Susie, Chris, and I had a nice mediterranean dinner at Casablanca in downtown Claremont, then it was a walk-around 24 Hour Walmart (as usual), and then yummy red velvet cake at Chris's house.  On Sunday, Susie, Kat, Kathy, and I had a tea party in celebration of Susie's birthday (YAY for birthday WEEKENDS!) and walked around The Huntington.  Unfortch it was 100+ degrees and we were all pretty much melting.  After the tea party, we got pedicures and just relaxed.  I ended up falling asleep, then going swimming for about 20 minutes, and after I just ran errands with my little sister.  My life is boring and my job sucks.  I feel like my life is in a constant lull.  Nothing really exciting or interesting really happens... it's just very boring.

Oh well. Something vaguely exciting is that I ordered a cute swimsuit from Victoria's Secret. What is vaguely depressing is that no matter how hard I exercise I'll never look like Gisele. Fuck it. I love food. I researched all these cool special discount codes online for VS and found a code for $10 off $50 purchase, $10 off a Very Sexy bra, and free cotton underpants.  Pretty freaking awesome.  So I got a bikini, bra (the Very Sexy wireless is probably the most comfy bra EVER) for only $20, AND underpants for $60 with tax and shipping.  Pretty awesome.  The pics below are of my bikini... yay! Hopefully it'll arrive before or near my birthday so it can be a birthday gift to myself.  I got the peachy color.

I swear...

German people are the shit.  I seriously felt like I was on drugs watching this video... crack or maybe acid. Bizarre.

RIP Herbie Hancock

 I just killed my fish after having him for three days. How sad.
