push.

GAHHH. I know it's just the beginning of the week, but honestly, I am so ready for it to be the weekend already... because:

• Aimmee back in town! <333 style="font-style: italic;">Definitely, Maybe. Looks absolutely adorable. The fact that it's from the same people that made Love Actually makes me even more excited.
• Aimz in town means one thing- more hanging out with Dar. I hope I get to see his new dog. cuute.
  
• Finally my AMC Movie Watcher card came in the mail. Yay for points.
• NBA All-Star Weekend. Well, not that I'm COMPLETELY excited about that, it gives me something to do.
• Honestly, I know this is bad, but no work. YAY. Work's not bad, it's just that I'm still in the beginning- I will adjust.
  
• My cousin is giving me Pokemon. Sweeet.
  
• Oh, Becoming Jane is out on DVD tomorrow. Can't help that both James McAvoy and Anne Hathaway are in it. Very interested to hear her British accent.
• Splurging on DVDs that are on sale for Valentine's Day. Yess. More romantic comedies and the like.
• And actually, I hope I can actually get SOMETHING done this weekend. But, looking at the above things... Yeah. Right.

Time

[song: Jon McLaughlin- So Close]

I find myself in the Horn Center, waiting for class to start, and just loitering here in the computer lab, checking my mail, going on facebook, reading sports articles, articles on the election, etc. Wow. Hard to believe that I've essentially been sitting here, wasting time, while I could be doing something worthwhile, like study. Then again, I may not have to study. Here's the thing. I hear there's a new section opening for a class and I want it. Now, taking the class means I will have to drop two classes- economics and psychology. Not exactly classes I find entirely important. I mean, they are important for grad school, but not so much for the right now. Plus, I may be getting a job. Key word: maybe. I am still figuring out scheduling, and it's not so easy, plus I may not be the right person for it. I am seriously hoping this pans out. I just need to hear from my teacher, and I may have a decent shot at this. Time will tell.

winning championships

[music: CSS- Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex]

As some people know, on Friday night,a trade rocked the Western Conference of the NBA. Pau Gasol of the Memphis Grizzlies was traded to the LA Lakers. To most people, and when I mean most people, I mean sane people, it was a steal. To think, the Lakers got Pau for Kwame Brown (always loses the ball), and Javaris Crittenton (a rookie with good potential, but some sacrifices have to be made), along with 2 first round draft picks. WHAT?! Yes. Yes. Now, I hear a lot of sports analysts out there saying that the country should prepare itself for the '80s reinvented- that is, a Boston-Lakers matchup. Now, now, let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Today, the Lakers majorly kicked the Washington Wizards' butts on their home floor, but Pau didn't suit up, but he did shoot in the shoot around, as he didn't have a jersey, nor did he have time to practice with the team. Pau has yet to play a full game, but look at the starting lineup of the Lakers once Andrew Bynum gets healthy:

PG- Derek Fisher
SG- Kobe Bryant
SF- Lamar Odom
PF- Pau Gasol
C- Andrew Bynum

Holy crap. I don't know, but I know the rest of the Western Conference is probably worried. As a Los Angeles local, I am very much looking forward to the Laker game on Tuesday, as Pau will most likely play. Let's see how it goes. Is a championship on the horizon? Not necessarily for this year, but the future looks really bright.

On another note, congrats to the New England Patriots on their Perfect Season! w00t NEW YORK GIANTS!!!! Congrats on kicking the Patriots' butts. Amazing. I can't believe it. I hate the Patriots, for acting so arrogant, and I can't get over their cheating allegation. And frankly, I'm tired of them. Ok. No more hate. In any case, I thought there would be some crazy party I would be at, but honestly, I enjoyed myself a lot better with just my family eating pizza and drinking soda, and it helped that we all cheered for the same team. Duude. Fourth quarter. Normally, the Super Bowl is like a major blowout, but not this one! I really was so panicky in the fourth quarter, and I was freaking out that the Patriots were gonna win. I seriously felt my heart racing. Geez. I don't think I've ever been this worked up over the football game. Oh man.

iPods

I'm typing away at such a late time (well to me at least), because I seriously cannot believe how crazy this is. Well, lately, my iPod has been... well, acting up lately, and it's annoying the crap out of me. So finally, my iPod just gave out. Froze. Great. I wanted it fixed right away, so I was planning on going to Best Buy to check out my warranty and such. Last time, they weren't so helpful. So, I tried everything... like banging it against a stack of paper. Niice. I thought to myself, why should I be purposely destroying something that cost a lot of money. Ok fine. Paper isn't hard. It's not like I'm dropping on wood flooring.

LO AND BEHOLD. It worked. No way. But seriously. It worked. I can't believe it. My iPod is functional again. YAY.

bleh

I realize I've been pretty horrible this week. Not just in feeling horrible, but being horrible. Can't exactly say it's been my best week at all. Not even close. So, if I've been horrendous and irritable, I hope it looks up. I suppose it has a lot to do with just being so piled up with things, since next week is ridiculously busy. Preparing for all of that is to mentally tiring. The mind can only hold so much. Not to mention, I feel like I've been neglecting a lot of things I ought to be caring about. Yes, I know I have two midterms to worry about. I just find it so hard to choose one. Choose as in, decide which one I ought to be paying attention to. Still, paying attention in chem is getting harder and harder. I always feel like my professor doesn't really know what's going on sometimes. Without her PowerPoint slides, sometimes I doubt if she really knows what she's talking about. It definitely doesn't help me understand the material any better!

Aside from feeling horrid, I missed my mandatory community service! Really bad if you need it to stay in some programs at school. A very good and helpful one at that. So now I'm freaking out because I don't know what the consequences are. I mean, I waited for a long time, and the person never showed up. Similarly, I think the person I was supposed to be waiting for thought I never showed up. I waited where I was supposed to, and so I hope that will make a difference. I don't want people to think I'm THAT irresponsible about that. I really need my counselor to call me and talk about it. She said she'd call today, but I feel like every second is an hour, and I can't seem to relax. Not at all. I'm getting jittery, so while I wait, I can't study. So here I am, typing away, hoping to get my mind off things. GAHH. I realize my posts make less and less sense, or it seems to be just a random rant, so unimportant. Yay.

Sense? This post doesn't make any sense

bleh I have the flu. For once, it actually came early this year. Normally, I'm sick around Halloween. Now that I think about it, it's good I'm not sick around that time. Not like I go extreme partying or anything, but who's going to pass out the candy to the children? Yess. That is my Halloween job. Fairly exciting. I was on the phone with my friend earlier, and she was at Party City, and I laughed so hard when she told me they were selling Gabriella costumes for High School Musical. Curious, I asked her what the costume actually was. I mean, was it the lab coat outfit she wore from the Scholastic Decathlon, or what, because I couldn't think of anything else that seemed "costumey" and she told me, that essentially, the costume was of a red dress and heels. Oh. Like from "We're All in This Together". Hmmm. I really don't think people will notice what you are dressed up as though. Then again, if your guy friend dresses up like Troy in his basketball jersey or your other friend goes as an East High cheerleader, then well. there you go. wow this post does not make very much sense. I think it's because I'm sorta just writing this as a way to pass the time, waiting for the movie to load. It's called "Beast and the Beauty". It's about this couple, and the girl is blind. The guy is not attractive, and he tells her that he's an attractive guy, that looks like someone he knows. She ends up getting an eye transplant (how common, exactly is that?) and she thinks her boyfriend looks entirely different! Hilarity ensues. I hope. I haven't seen this movie yet, but the premise seems fairly interesting. Who knows.

school? what's that?!

Sad to say... that has been my thoughts lately. I've finished the Slam Dunk manga. I've finished Spring Waltz. I've picked up new shows to watch for the Fall Season. And I suppose that's the problem. I really need to stop relaxing and just hanging around all the time. Seriously. Seriously. I took a chem test on Friday, and I can't really say I feel confident about it at all. I think this may be the first time I MAJORLY fail a test. That's reallly bad. I just didn't feel like chem was important, or worth my time. I suppose that's the problem. I think Bio is 10000x more important because it's the first class that REALLY counts. I mean, it's the one class you need to take before doing anything else. So yeah, it is ridiculously frustrating. I can't lax up on that anymore. Curse me and my need to be caught up with pop culture and Korean Dramas. It really is a drug. I suppose I should just come home late now and do some studying to do some good in my life.
