at the security checkpoint they just about strip you.

just happy that my underwire didn't set anything off...that would have been interesting.

are they even made of metal anymore? i've never seen an underwire.

tired.

Woke up to cows mooing. Am clearly not in Irvine.

okay that is all.

M: (about her childhood in Vietnam) We'd get a cricket...and tie a strand of a girl's hair around it--you know because girls have long hair. And then we'd spin it around and around so when you let it go it's all confused...and that's how you make them fight.

S: I had a gameboy.

Midterm in about an hour and a half. Then come back here to finish packing. Then the very lovely April will taxi me to the airport like the dear roommate she is. Then I will be flying on a jet plane to someplace other than here.

Have a good Memorial Day weekend folks. I know I will.

because aaron wanted me to...

don't ask why ;P

Saw the same stairway where, about six months ago, I spent an hour or two crying my stupid eyes out like the girl that I am.

Sometimes I wonder what I'm so afraid of and sometimes I wonder what it is that I really need and sometimes I'm afraid that I'm going to (I hate this word) jinx myself by becoming an optimist.

But sometimes I really can be one sentimental sucker. Like the girl that I am.

on an unrelated note, this is going to be one helluva long week. absolutely cannot wait until friday after my midterm.

For the first time ever I finally got the opportunity to walk around campus, and on graduation day to boot. Even when I went up to help get my brother moved in to his dorm I didn't get a chance to see the actual school.

It's a beautiful campus with lots of libraries and no big ugly green buildings in sight.

going up north to move the brother out on friday. been spending a lot of time up there this past year (as in the past 12 months). this is a record for me.

My grandfather died ten years ago today. Maybe at around this time too. I don't really remember, all I know is that I found out at the hospital sometime at night.

Weird to think that was nearly half my life ago. Time has been passing at a ridiculous pace.

Oh, and as it turns out my accent is "not bad" when I "speak" Vietnamese. Many, many dead sesame seeds later I finally got something right thanks to a Lefty and a Lame Dit ;) Hay qua!

Culture night and Sin City. Both were good. I have a few CCN photos (and VCN photos as well now that I mention it) that I'll post when I find time.

Breakfast and lunch today were good. It's too bad they came one right after the other. I didn't have much for lunch but I was still crazy stuffed. Never. Again.

it went towards my credit card bill (:()

and the rest will go towards plane tickets (:))

inane post. i is a little hungry. software documentation is a biatch.

yes i'm a little late (well not really) but that seems to be the way of things.

kinoo watashi no sairi hajimata

i don't know if i said that right (someone non-japanese taught it to me years ago) and it's a bit redundant but i had to say it because i kind of know how. and the only reason i know how to romanize sairi is because someone wrote it in my yearbook my freshman year HA.

;P

My eloquence is not quite what it used to be. Yes, I am an ordinary girl.

If you know (off the top of your head) what I'm referencing I will love you forever.

Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work
Practice is when something works, but you don't know why
Programmers combine theory and practice:
nothing works and they don't know why.

@#$%*!!!

Me: Did you get my voicemail?

Mommy: Yes.

Me: Oh. Did you try calling me back?

Mommy: No.

;P

Superexhausted. Trying to go over a prelab but my mind keeps wandering. Want to get coffee and a croissant before work so I need to head out soon. Lee's is HAY QUA.
