12:58pm: update like WOAH
Alright... I've originally come on this thing to share my latest completed art project.  I drew David Tennant from Doctor Who for my friend starlightmoonla for xmas cuz I have no moneys.  Which seems ok, since this was probably the best gift I could have given her.

( Here's the drawing: )

( here's the video... )

BUT

Now that I'm here...

I might as well update on other things as well.

( HOLY SHIZNITZ AN UPDATE!! )
I think that's pretty much it.  Lists work best for me, I don't want to have long rambles in my LJ right now.

Okay, well... that's it for right now... I don't feel like getting into a lot of detail just yet... maybe I'll do that later. ~_~

PEACE~!

4:10pm: Financial Aid = bane of my existence... *angry rant*

12:39pm: Happy V-Day!
... Or as you might want to call it... Happy Hallmark Holiday! =D

 

1:51pm: Man... I don't know how I manage to get NOTHING done, yet STILL have time fly by so fast.

I'm totally behind on all of my homework.  As usual.  Today I had a Japanese vocab quiz, and I didn't even know it!  Lame desu.

I just have so much reading to do, it's disgusting.  My Buddhism class was assigned four articles to read over the weekend.  FOUR!!! That's a lot!  Grr.  Argh.  Yarr...

I STILL haven't finished my fanfic.  That makes me sad.  I'm in the middle of the last chapter right now, but I don't let myself work on it.  but I do let myself waste time on the internet.

It sucks always having shit to do.  I'm also the garden manager now, and naturally I'm an overachiever.  So I'm always doing a lot of work with that too.  I feel bad that I don't talk to any of my online friends anymore.  If any of you are reading this... dude, I am SO sorry.  I'm lame.  I know.

I think overall I'm just tired.  I need to get caught up in my homework.  Then I need to get a job.  Then I need to get an RA position.  W00t yes.  So I'm going to go do that now... let's see how much reading I can get done before I have to water the garden. *smacks self*

3:25am: Earthquake... yay....
So... at around 4:45am a couple nights ago there was a 4.2 earthquake that seriously scared the daylights out of me.

It was such a unique experience, that I must write a LJ post about it...

Beryl was spending the night, and after finishing the book I was reading ('Ishmael' if you're curious at all) I went to sleep at 3:30am.

I was groggily woken up by this shaking that felt like a rolling feeling going from one palm to the other.  It was scary because I was sleeping on my back, which I never do, so I felt disconnected from the earth, like I had no control over possibly being thrown from my secure position.  I literally woke up gasping and panicking the minute it hit, and I clutched onto beryl's arm, probably sounding crazily incoherent.  She consoled me and asked what was wrong, thinking I had a bad dream, and by that point I knew it was just an earthquake.  But I was still scared for a few more minutes because my adrenaline was still pumping.

And I realized why, after I thought about it.  Feeling helpless, like a cat on its back, was only the first thing.  On top of this,  the power light from my printer was on, casting a light against the opposite wall of the room.  In front of the printer was my Siggo water bottle, causing it's shadow to be cast tall and dark against that opposite wall.  I naturally sleep with my eyes half open, so when I start to wake up, or if I'm not completely asleep, I notice my surroundings before I'm even really coherent.  This sort of thing has happened before.  Also, when this happens, my perspective gets warped and I see objects and closer than they appear.  This happened once a long time ago when my mom came in one morning to get my laundry basket (or something along those lines) and I jumped awake in my bed, because from my view I saw her as hovering over the side of my bed.  She had just reached inside the doorway, and was actually nowhere NEAR my bed yet.  So that shows how warped my vision/senses can get.  So I'm sure that when the earthquake started, I saw this long dark shadow on the wall, and with the combination of the earthquake, it felt as if some dark nameless, faceless figure had somehow crept into my room and was viciously pushing the foot of my bed up and down causing it to shake.

It was a bizarre feeling to actually feel that sudden surge of panic.  There's no warning, it's totally instant.  I can't even really describe it.  I think words FAIL to describe it BECAUSE it's so instant.  Words are meant to be read slowly and logically, and this had not a single trace of either of those.  I've been able to scare myself before... my imagination will wander into creepy thought land, reflecting on scary movie scenes or something along those lines.  But that's a gradual fear, and that's getting 'creeped out' versus actually feeling terrified.  It's instant, it consumes you, and thank god beryl was there for me to latch onto with a deathgrip, because it helped me stay grounded to reality.  I don't know how i would have reacted otherwise.

I've been in earthquakes before, and they've never been a problem for me.  I actually used to find them kind of fun.  This is the first time this has happened, so it's definitely a new experience.  I wonder if it'll affect my view on earthquakes from now on...?  Anyway, yeah.  That's it.  I just needed to get that off my chest and out of my head. ~.~

12:16am: I'M NOT DEAD.... I promise. Wait. I've already had this for a title...
Finally... I can breathe.

10:44am: Dreams
I had a couple of dreams last night...

The first one was where I had signed up for a research position. I went to the place, asked some general questions, and they wanted to give it to me on the spot. So out of my surprise I started filling out the paperwork for it. But then afterwards I realized that I couldn't, because it demanded my attention fulltime and I am in school. So I had to go back and cancel on them.

The second one was where I went home to visit my family, and my cat didn't recognize me anymore. :(

Conclusion: I think I'm stressed. I also think I'm ready for spring break so I can go home for a few days to visit my family and friends in LA.


That's it for now... I've been crazy busy with papers and reading left and right. I'll try to update more often but I don't gaurantee anything. >>'

3:34pm: okay so this entry is a few days later than I said it would be...
So... I said I'd update on tuesday, and it's now friday. So sue me. XD

What's up with me? Nothing horrendously amazing... I've gone to all of my classes (except for a couple of psych discussions). I think I'm liking my Social Psych class and my English class the most. I've slowly started to talk to people in these classes... hopefully I'll get some regular friends that I can sit next to and study with. I talked to this one guy in my english class, and there's couple girls from my co-op in that class too. So it's a start. And in the Social psych class, one girl recognized me from the CalSo orientation... I think my major problem is that I'm shy when I first meet people, so the witty conversation I imagine myself having with another person never quite comes out that way.

I have discovered so far that Psychology is NOT the jackpot for cute guys. At least not that I've seen so far. The REAL jackpot is english, apparently. Because my english class is loaded with them. It's like testosterone overdose. I love it. (Can you tell I've been working around women for far too long..???) I should change majors just for the scenery... no I'm joking! *cradles Psychology major lovingly*

I'm thinking of applying to a child daycare center for the workstudy... but I dunno if they're even hiring. Their hiring posts were last year, so I highly doubt it... but it's worth a shot I suppose. Otherwise I dunno what I'm gonna do. I need a job to start saving right away for the Abroad Program for Japan that I plan to do. Good news is I've paid off all of my credit card debt in one swoop. Yay!

Nothing else really... I get along w/ everyone at the co-op so that's good (yay!) I'm craving for a strong social life since I've been a hermit for so long due to work and crap. I just want to be around people. All the time. lol hopefully I'll get to go to a few parties soon and then all this excess energy will mellow down.

Until then I'm going to go practice my guitar and abuse the power of the ellipses in everything that I type =D

10:42pm: hallelujah!!!
I'm in berkeley (finally)!!

And I have internet!!! *dances*

So NOW I can actually update this stupid thing.

It's been freezing the past couple of nights... like... around 27 degrees here... which is hella cold... a couple nights ago I kept waking up every couple of hours because my feet hurt from the cold. SO... last night, I went to bed dressed as follows: flannel nightgown, thermal underpants, and TWO pairs of socks (regular AND fuzzy). This morning when I got up I added my slippers and my robe. Yes, I was the epitomy of sexy...

The co-op is okay... everyone is pretty nice overall so that's good... My roommate left the day I came so I haven't gotten to know her yet. But she's back today so hopefully we'll get along XD

I had to go to a mandatory co-op meeting for beginners (joy). The good news is that there was A) free pizza and B) a couple of hot guys. Granted these hot guys are from Clyone (the biggest co-op house), but oh well.. it was just nice to be surrounded by some testosterone (makes me sad about being in an all girl's house though...) I realize that I've been missing testosterone long before I came here though, because I worked full time at a women's clothing store... yeah. I hope there will be a healthy amount of guys in my classes this semester. I'm sure there will be since not a single class of mine has less than 145 students...

Also I have walked around the campus and found out where my classes are and stuff... so that's a plus too. Of course naturally tuesdays and thursdays I'm either gonna have to run or just be a few minutes late... but oh well. cest la vie... XD

That's pretty much it for right now. I've finished some artwork of mine on the computer (with my new tablet of awesomeness) so I'll be posting that on devart soon... and as soon as I can figure out how to post images on livejournal, I'll do that too. (I tried photobucket and it hates me.. but I guess I'll try it again... *is scared*)

I dunno when I'm gonna update again. Probably tuesday cuz I'm finding life so exciting now that I'm at berkeley... and class starts on tuesday. It'll be MCB 61: brain, cognition, and behavior. A class that has 714 seats. And.. *checks* 567 students enrolled so far. Scary. I've never had a class with over 50 students...

3:27am: ouch...
wow... this is scary how accurate this is....

**EDIT**

I took it one more time, and got more true and harsher results... this is seriously intriguing...

2:35am: holy crap
So... I'm up late (even though I shouldn't be) and I'm watching one of those pointless TV shows called roomraiders. And guess what??

The girls that are getting their rooms raided are total anime geeks!!! I LOVE IT!!!! The first girl that's getting her room raided has all sorts of cosplay stuff and she even has a picture of miyavi on the wall!!! OMG I WISH SOMEONE WAS AWAKE SO I COULD SHARE THIS WITH THEM!!!!!! TToTT

4:58am: A change of plans


And now... I give you....


aaand that's all. ^___^

4:20am:





W00t... that was a total waste of time ^__^

7:15am: omg I just posted...
yet here I am posting again.

But I have stuff on my mind that I want to get rid of, so that I can think clearly.






I think that's everything.  if I need to add any more, then I'll just edit this entry. :-P

6:40am: okay.... so... not-so-cool news....

Tomizuka-sensei won't be available during December 29th, so I can't take my placement exam when I'm up there with my friends.

Shit.

And what if it'd be too late to take it by the time I move up there during welcome week???

CRAP.

I hope I can do it. I hope I hope. *crosses fingers*

And she STILL hasn't replied to the email where I asked her a question about Lesson 6.

I bet she's tired of me. I bet I've been bugging her too much.

I sent her back an email asking her when would be a good time for me to take the test. I hope she responds.

8:28pm:

8:00pm: I'm a K... =D
So... 
W00t! I finished! That was harder than I thought... >>  Now I kinda wish my letter was 'C'... it's amazing how many things I thought up that had the 'K' sound, but started w/ C instead... ;_;

And on that note... i'm going to post a separate entry about what's been going on w/ me lately. =D

10:32am: Should I quit?

It's long, and it's emo. What's new?

10:29am: Feeling Nostalgic...

4:22am: So... a needle pulling thread...
that is a stupid title... XD oh well. Whatever. haha... moving on. ^_^




Wow.. so... yeah.  That's EVERYTHING.  which is why it's so DAMN LONG.  @_@  At least I got it all out of my system *sigh*  And at least people will know I'm not dead.  I just... have no life. TT_TT  It's hard knowing how long this will look, because in this stupid dialogue box that we have to type these things in, it looks like a freakin' novel.  Oh well. whatever.  Okay, I need to eat my potpie, watch the most recent episode of Heroes on Youtube, and then finish Lesson for of my Japanese.  I don't even want to THINK about the fact that I've missed all of season 3 of Lost so far  (it just makes me want to CRY I tell you!  CRY!!!!)

Ok... oyasumi nasai everyone. <3

8:36am: This was so much fun... XD Thanx Malys!



P.S.: I got back from my UCB orientation today... I'll talk about it more later in a separate entry. ^_^
