well, things have been pretty eventful for me. i finally got my first job last tuesday at rainforest cafe. totally awesome, considering i thought that i was not going to get it (I was 20 minutes late). but they hired me on the spot.

i went to orientation on friday, then the football game. the game was being broadcasted on FOX Sports, but we sucked that game. so many interceptions and missed passes... just really depressing. two guys drove by me and jess (we were walking to her house b/c i parked my car there), and they stopped by and asked us "do you wanna fuck?" jeez, so immature.

i went to dana point intertidal yesterday for biology. i went with jose and nick since it probably wasnt smart for me to drive. afterwards, hung out with them for awhile. it was pretty relaxing and i got to learn a little more about them.

today, slept really late and am currently trying to do all my math homework so i can turn it in tomorrow (4 assignments, i'm still on my first one). this week was not the week for me to have been sleeping in class...i'm so lost. hopefully, i'll land on my feet.

well, gotta go now. update later.

School's been getting a little harder. Math and biology, especially. I need to keep on studying for the two midterms we have this week. And I also have a reaction paper due on Friday. So I need to work my butt off this week...

This weekend, I learned how to put flowers on my toenails, so I can officially now give myself my own pedicures! Yay!

I went shopping this weekend. It was nice. Got a couple of new things. There's this Volcom brown polo 3/4 length shirt that I think is totally cute, maybe a little tomboyish, but hey, that's me. I got a cute shirt from Hollister that says "Freedom to live, freedom to surf." But my sister is telling me that I  have to many t-shirts from there and that with the $20 I used on that shirt, I can pitch in another $20 to buy a  sweatshirt there. So yea, I'm gonna go tomorrow before lecture to exchange it. Sweetness.

I was talking to Nick yesterday, and we were on the topic of traveling. Europe sounded like a great place to spend a summer. You know, the dome where Michaelangelo painted the roof, the arena where they used to hold the Olympics, the statue of David (if it's in Europe), you know, admire the architecture and the art. Sounds like a good way to spend a summer. And maybe during spring break, Mexico. Relaxing on the beach with a pina colada and non-stop partying all night. It sounds like something I really need, and soon.

So yep, gotta get to finishing homework. Talk to you later.

School's been really busy. I'm adjusting, and I don't think Cory is getting on my nerves too much anymore. The Zzyzx trip was fun. It was so different from when I was younger. The rules are more lenient. Like, they said that girls sleep in a separate section, but they didn't assign people to our dorms. And they didn't give us a curfew. So I ended up staying in Jose and Nick's dorms. So lucky. The guys had two beds per room, while the girls had like, 5 bunkbeds per room. It was a lot of work weekend, but it was a learning experience.

School's been getting harder. Lots of exams and stuff. I'm constantly studying now. Not that it's helping much. But still, I'm sto determined to do well my first semester in college. I've been looking into classes for next semester. I already know I'm taking bio 172, hist 110B, english 101, and math 150A. I think I want to take advanced volleyball. It's only two days a week, and one unit. So I think all those classes together are about 16-17 units, I'm not too sure. I just need to figure out when to sign up for classes. I want to do it as soon as possible, just so I get the times I want. I think I'll talk to Jose, Nick and Angela so we can figure out what times to take our classes together. And if not, at least we'll have lecture together. So that should be fun.

I think I'll call Rainforest Cafe next week, so I can ask them about the hostess job. They told me to call them back when my schedule opens up. And since we're out longer than UC's, I think my chances should be better at getting it. So I'm crossing my fingers.

So yea, I've been sick this weekend, and this rain is killing me. I haven't been able to go to sleep yet. So I have to try to get some sleep so I can wake up early and finish my math assignments tomorrow (There's 5! Good grief). Goodnight. Or should I say good-morning? Iono.

I've been pretty busy with school and exams and everything. Tomorrow, I'll get to go the Mojave Desert to the Zzyzx Desert Center till Saturday, to study and stuff. Good stuff. I'm going with these guys in my bio lab class, Jose, Nick (both in my lab group), and Catalin (a guy). Either Jose is driving, or me. I hope it's him, because you guys know how I am, azn driver and all. And three hours. I don't know if I'll fall asleep at the wheel or just kinda zone out, which is not a good thing to be doing while you're driving. But it should be fun. When I signed up for this date, I originally was going to be going with Ellen and Cory. Now I feel bad leaving Ellen alone with Cory for 3 hours. But she's pretty tolerant. I think she can handle it.

I'm sooo depressed that I won't be going to the El Dorado game tomorrow night (because of the trip). I'm so....not homesick because I'm already at home, but I-miss-the-people-I-used-to-go-to-high-school-with, sick. I miss all the graduates, I miss all the non-graduates, I just miss everybody. I wish I was like Stephanie or Nate who enjoys being off at college. Not fair.

I did alright on my first math exam. The highest score was a 94, but I got a 87. Damn. It was over stupid stuff, too. Like, I put a 2 instead of a 4 in the quadratic equation, but he only docked off 2 points out of the total 14. But still, that could have changed my grade to an ALMOST A. But he give us extra credit at the end of the class, anyways (30 points, baby!). So with my homework and my one quiz right now, I have an A, most likely.

Bio on the other hand, I made the stupidest mistakes, and now I'm paying for it. I'm on the borderline of a B and C. Jeez. I need to pick it up. Like, I'll think the right answers, but I'll write down the wrong one. ARGH!!!

Wow, I haven't been writing in this thing for so long... I don't know why. I tend to like my livejournal so much better. It's just so much simpler. But that's okay. I'll still update this every now and then. School's been pretty busy. It's a big adjustment still. The one guy who I became friends with now never leaves me alone. When I first met him, it was like, "Hey, Kim, I'll hang out with you since we have break and class together." "Sure" I say, thinking it'd only be for that day. It's everyday. No problem. Cory was a nice guy. But dude, now, I realize I like my solitude and my silences. I don't want someone who feels obligated or just awkward where he has to fill in the silence gaps when I don't feel like it.  I think he's starting to get the picture, but that doesn't keep me from feeling bad about it. But now, it's sad. When I look at him, I just want to punch him in the nose. ARGH. I'm such a mean person. I wish I was tolerant of everybody. I think it's the whole, I see him too often thing. Or something. Weird.
