c'est difficile.

J'ai pense que tu ne le veux pas, mais naturellement je n'ai pas voulu croire que c'est vraiment la verite. Quand tu le me dis, finalement j'ai du admettre a moi. Oui, c'est la verite... est elle n'est pas jolie. Comment est-ce que tu peux dire que tu m'aime, quand nous ne pouvons pas parler ensemble? Cette semaine, j'ai voulu beaucoup parler a toi. Je t'ai dit que je suis tres triste quand tu n'ai pas me telephone pour deux jours, parce que normalement nous parlons toujours en telephone. Un jour apres, tu n'as pas telephone. Pourquoi?

Oui, je suis ... heureuse que tu me la dit. C'est la verite, n'est-ce pas? Alors, qu'est-ce que tu veux que je fais? Qu'est-ce que tu faisait? C'est normalement... nous n'avons pas la meme ecole. Mais j'ai espere que tu veux me parler toujours, parce que nous ne pouvons pas nous voir comme la derniere annee. Alors, tu ne pense pas que c'est triste que tu n'aime pas parler avec moi en la portable?

Tu m'as dit que tu veux me voir et sortir ensemble....mais comment est-ce que nous pouvons continuer si nous n'avons pas de communication reguliere?

"...with lid"

just...why??????????

choices

I had an amusante jour avec Curtis today. no details :P No pics either, I didn't have my camera. :(

Anyway, on the way back from SC, I was thinking about what I should major/minor in! I mean, of course I'm going to major in graphic design, but then what about double majoring? Or double minoring? I'd love to work for a magazine!! Either writing or designing is fine. But then I'd also love to do work for a design firm. Or work in the sociology field. Or as a teacher. SO MANY OPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Majors/minors I'm considering:

1. Graphic Design, BA or BFA
2. Mass Communications/Journalism
3. Sociology
4. Psychology
5. And teacher's credentials...dunno what specifications

SO MANY CHOICES!!!!! Sucks!!!! Maybe I can be a super-super-super senior. I don't mind not graduating with my class. Well, I don't mind now; I might mind later. lol.

Anyway, PEOPLE (COUGH) have been pressuring me to get a new racket, like the armortec or the whatever new one is called. Arcsaber? Sounds very.... uh... Inuyasha. Supposedly my old racket doesn't let me smash hard enough.

I don't know. I mean, of course I want to do better in badminton.. and smash harder! No one wants to play lower than their potential. But I've had my current silver racket for so long. It's been with me through the tough times: league finals, ccs, three years of varsity :( I even kiss it!!!! And paint it with nail polish after it's been painfully chipped. How can I give it up for a newer, shinier, more famous, worshipped, powerful, cliched-name racket?

This reminds me of Harry Potter! He was entitled to the most powerful and sought-after wand, but he chose his trusty and faithful old wand over that one.

But then again, change is good, right?

I don't know!!!

My Spring 2009 SJSU schedule.... click for enlargement

SJSU Transfer Information Program/Orientation

Sunday, November 9, 2008
1:33 AM

I signed up for the mandatory SJSU TIP, which is basically this program for Spring 2009 entrants for transfer/frosh students. I guess I'd be considered a lower-division transfer student, which is kind of weird. But hey, at least I get to transfer my credits!

Let's see, I can transfer....

1) Psychology 01

2) Elementary Stats

3) Bio 21 (I think?)

4) Critical Thinking (YEAH!!! THANK GOD!)

5) Any of the random credits I have right now...spanish...P.E...?

The orientation was kind of boring. The presentation took place at 9am, and unfortunately I took a seat behind a tall dude.

^ lol... his big head

Then near the end of the presentation an hour later, the speaker told the frosh/lower-division transfer students to go outside w/ a guide, and added that they are the ones with the printed nametags. I however had a handwritten nametag because the people at the registration desk had told me to make one, so I was unsure whether or not to go with them. Then the speaker said, "Everyone with printed nametags, go outside" so I doubtfully decided to stay. The rest of us (I unknowingly was now with the upper-division transfer kids) left to go off on our own to some of the different presentations at different locations, so I decided to take the campus tour. Luckily I did because that's what the frosh/lower-division students did the whole time until I met up with them at 11:30.

^ A new memorial. Pretty, no?


^ Campus

^ Where I met up with my designated group...

Anyway, I met this lost guy, so we decided to walk around and try to look for his group. I found out that he used to play #1-2 guys doubles in badminton for Mt. Pleasant! Cool. And then I saw a guy from my badmin/karate classes in SJCC, which was cool too.

Then at 1:15 my group went to the computer lab, where we looked up our classes and planned our schedules. When we left, we received:

^ I'm not exactly sure why they gave us books.

^ Free stuff!

oh well. I have no idea what I want to do in terms of GE's! Most of the choices look pretty interesting. I want to do Intro to Sociology, but I already filled that GE with my psych class! Darn!! So I decided to go for Child Development, which fulfills another category. Geez, didn't think there'd be so many categories to fulfill.

So far, I decided on my classes, but i still need to enroll in them once the enrollment date comes rolling around. I'm gonna enroll in them ASAP. Competition for classes are gonna be tight, I hear. VERY tight.

I've decided on 1) Intro to Art/Design, 2) Color, 3) 3-D concepts, 4) Art History Renaissance-Modern, 5) Child Development (GE), and 6) Intro to Creative Writing (GE). Yes, I still want to take Creative Writing even though SJCC's sucked like crazy!

Yes yes yes, I know the classes are at crazy 8am about every day! How am I going to do it? :( Oh well, being a morning person is good. Too bad I suck at it (re: high school). Maybe I can force myself into it and go to sleep at midnight-1am like a good girl. lol. yeah right... I left plenty of time in the afternoon so I can study/do homework. I'm really determined to do well. Also, I want to attend PHHS badminton practices and games. LOL!!! I was thinking of being assistant coach, or at the very least actively supporting the team...but I do know studies come first. I'll see what I can do. I want to support the team as much as I can while doing well in my studies.

On another tangent...I was too lazy to bring my big old statistics textbook home. So I just took pics of the chapter pages I had to review. Saved me the shoulder pain from a heavy bookbag.

I love this camera!!

I have homework so I'm not even going to write out a full blog. lol. I'll just post up the pics I took over this past week. :D



1) Brand-new, plush, SPARKLING bus seat vs. peed-on, gum-blackened, sagging bus seat

Ah... a sight for sore eyes (and butts) A beautiful new seat, only sat on twice! (estimating...)

And now the sad bus seat:

I almost sat down on this seat. The pee stain is a whole lot more obvious IRL. Probably sat on over 1000 times. Time for a replacement

2) Karate hands

My hand 9 hours after class, during which we practiced punching pads. Broken blood vessels!

Danielle's crazy Halloween nails... that must have taken a LONG time to do o_o

3) Random campus pics

In the library... lol. No one even follows this rule *ahem*


A pleasantly cool and crisp fall day

4) Old messy Spanish cuaderno vs. NEW!! freshly done notes!!!

Before...

After!!

11am. That tired me out -_- two more chapters to rewrite! but it's fun...unusually so...

5) um.... no category?

wow, gas is getting a lot cheaper. That's crazy!!!

9pm. Tired in the morning, tired at night... pathetic. Whatever happened to energized high-school days with 5-6 hours of sleep??? I get 7 now and i'm more tired.

Omg, I get my Word book after only two months of waiting. -_-

looking forward to the weekend :)

Yesterday marks a celebrated day in history! I thought McCain gave a very gracious speech. For a second I wished I had voted for him instead because he was so nice in his speech. LOL. for a second.

dry socks + my first day on the job!

Halloween was really fun! Better than last year's, heehee. I had stayed home and done homework and passed out candy to (mostly) rude little kids. This year Ricky and I visited UCSC and visited Curtis, Victor, and Jenny. Jenny took the bus home with me and Ricky. While Ricky slept, Jenny and I chatted the ride away. haha. Then trick-or-treating in the rain, sorting the candy, pigging out to scary movies, and everyone falling asleep during the second movie. Love!!!
Not much time for gossip, but there's always next time, right?

School was unusually fun today. In badmin, Trevor was uncharacteristically understanding about my mistakes. lol. Maybe it was the ugly lion he had on his shirt.

EWW!!!! A bright yellow lion with bulging muscles in a tiny wrestling suit...

Ashamed to be seen modeling this shirt

(the coach is in the background)

I spent my hour and a half between badmin and English editing my essay and finishing up my Spanish hw. It cost 30 cents to print out the three pages of my essay, but whatever. I was pretty darn proud of it :) Too bad I couldn't staple it bc the LRC didn't have a stapler, so it looked pretty ugly in the stack of prettily-stapled essays. I hope I get a good grade on it. My last essay grade sucked.

Anyway, we had a timed in-class essay in English. My brain was just mush after staring at my take-home essay, so I basically gave the in-class essay a B-C effort. Sucked. I'm ashamed of it. I hope my prof reads it after she reads a more incompetent one :) hehehehehe. So bad.

Spanish was actually....fun. Time passed by super quickly. I think it was because we were learning verbs and things that I really wanted to learn so I could actually use Spanish in everyday terms, like YO ...eh...nvm. I need to go study it. LOL. anyway, at the end of the class, the prof called everyone outside individually to tell them their grade. I went outside when she called me and I glanced quickly at the grade slip she held in her hand. OMG I thought I saw an F next to my name. I was about to freak out, but then she said that I have an A-. Whew. I thought I had a B because of my first hw packet (yes, I did it but I forgot to correct it and add accents and all that jazz, so I got 75/100. argh). I want at least an A.

Then after Spanish, I walked out and it was raining. I love the rain... when it's pretty, I have my umbrella, and my socks don't get wet. I was wearing my cheapie uncomfortable flats today WHICH I had regretted buying, but now I'm really glad I bought them because they really are waterproof! AND warm. Too bad they're flats, so my socks still get wet... but only from the top :D

When I stepped out, I just had to drop my stuff into the wet puddles and snap a photo.

Left: Learning Resource Center on the 1st floor, and Cesar Chavez library on the 2nd-3rd floors. Off to the right leads to the Student Center and parking lots.

Poor Pikachu was all soaked.

Then my mom insisted on driving me to my first day of tutoring Photoshop at someone's house. She drove me over and sat in the car (:D) while I went inside at 6:45 and came back out at 7:45. It was pretty fun/easy...except for the beginning when I completely forgot how to use an Apple. UGHHHH. I was clicking around trying to remember what to do. How incompetent. Luckily I got the hang of it after five-ten mins....but geez, how embarrassing! I'm being paid to know this. -_- I basically taught her stuff like attaching photos, copy+paste, etc. to e-mails, and cropping + resizing pics in Photoshop. basic stuff. She's eager to learn, so of course I want to teach her the functions of Photoshop. Teaching is fun! I was nervous today but I stuttered a lot, but it's only the first day. yay :D
