wow it's been a while since I last blogged (after a reminder from fia!)...and since then lots has been happening.. which isn't really important now. exams are starting and i'm not studying hard enough....with the weather just so gorgeous outside, how is ever possible to do some real hardcore studying?? It's just beckoning for me to go out and run around!

Saw the abercrombie mag today when i had lunch with the girls...liked some stuff in there! too bad i'm too broke to actually order anything tho...heard that it was coming up??!! but i think once it does..it wouldn't be the same...just like AE..it loses its ..."specialness" b/c then everybody would be able to get the clothes...

I'm excited for what's to come AFTER exams:
- working=$$=shopping
- florida trip!!
- bikini shopping!!
- trip to states?!?!
- trip down Mexico????
- summer with the kids!!! (planning in the works already!!! YEAH!)
- "loo trip to visit the girls

and much much more....just got to get through the next 3 weeks!

You can't completly understand a person's life from reading their blogs - nor can you from seeing picture of them from online photoalbums. But isn't it strange people try and decipher what's going on in someone's life through those two different ways?

I'll admit, I read blogs of different people everyday...I don't claim to understand what they are going through nor do I claim to be their best friend...but I think it becomes a little "sad" in a sense....I mean you have to read a blog to find out what's going on in a long lost friend's life verus maybe even calling them up? or sending them an email....have we just gotten lazy?

Today - taking a break from studying - Eric and I decided to go do some food shopping. Now you think after doing my groceries for 2 years I'd know how to do my food shopping - but it seems there are still lots I have to learn.

Problem: How to pick out good potatoes.

If anyone can shed some light on this area - I'm ready to listen

Scenrio: So I decided to buy some potatoes to make mashed potatoes. The last time I went shopping with a friend, she wanted some potatoes too however both of us were perplexed on how to choose "good" ones. A man comes over and helps us out, telling us "the more the potato smells like the dirt the better it is!" So I start picking up potatoes and putting them to my nose. I take real good sniffs of them and put them down. I'm doing this for - a good 2 or 3 minutes...until I suddenly see someone in the corner of my eye pointing to me. I look to see him laughing hysterically at me. I grab the first 4 potatoes I see and run sheepishly away.

Now to some, that scene might look hiliarious - but I was only told to do this!!!

Problem: How to pick out good oranges

Scenrio: So usually when I pick up fruits that are difficult to tell if they are good, I go when there is someone else there too. So this time I was picking out my fruit with a mom and her little boy. Whatever oranges she puts down, I never pick up. I notice what she's thinks and bad and try and steer clear of them. Someone once told me the best oranges are always near the bottom cuz no one will ever go to the trouble of sifting all the way to the bottom for it. I start to pick the oranges from the same pile as the women only to find the whole group of oranges come TUMBLING down. (This occurred while the mom's back was turned) I was so embarassed so i ran - only it was the little boy that got in trouble for the tumbling oranges and not me. lol...suffice it to say...i never brought any oranges home.

I think I could tell more stupid stories of me grocery shopping...but I think I got my point across. I think someone would make A LOT OF money if they made a manual on how to buy good fresh food and sell it to university students - they would make a lot of money. heck I'd write it if I knew what to say *lol*....

So following inthe footteps of my brother's blog, i have a picture to describe my experience in my seminar class today



Legend:
red lines = the students gaze on the teacher
purple/blue dots = all the students
T = professor
me= *duh* me

So in seminar classes, we sit in a box shaped to generate better discussions - so technically you can see your other classmates easier and discuss things better. Usually history seminars have about 20 students in total.

SOOOOO today I end up being late for my class, and the ONLY seat left was the one beside the prof. "dang...i didn't do ANY of my readings and he'll know cuz my book is not highlighted or i have no notes"...- but soon that was the LEAST of my worries
Throughout the class I had the WORST runny nose ever with NO tissue - what to do in dilemma??
a) rub my nose with my shirt? - ewwwww and get my sweater all dirty
b) run to the bathroom incessantly ? yup..that's what i ended up doing

eventually i brought wads and wads of tissues back with me to my seat...but my nose wouldn't stop running and I felt all eyes on me each time i was blowing my nose - mainly bcause then the rest of the class wouldn't be able to hear what other students were talking about or what the prof was saying. There was this one time where I was blowing my nose so loud that the prof moved his chair farther away from me. I felt so embarassed...

I hate it personally when people keep "sucking" up their runny noses...just blow it all out..but I never brought enough tissue with me (and you think the many trips I made to the bathroom I would think to bring more tissue with me) cuz there's nothing more annoying in classes then hearing people "snork" their nose every 2 seconds

so arter 30 min inthe class I decided to just honked it all out...figuring after a while my nose would acutally Stop running....lol...JUST my luck..it never did. =( and NOW as I"m posting my blog it decides to stop. great timing eh?

I never knew if I was just paranoid thinking everyone was staring at me becaue i was blowing my nose...or just staring at the prof...either way I felt so embarassed throughout the 3 hour class ...mostly because at the end of the class the area above my upper lip was like TOMATO red

Which brings me to one of the things I think we should all learn to do - don't be THAT DISGUSTEd about people being sick...I mean you need to perform good etiquette when u're sick of course like
a) cover your mouth when you're coughing and cough AWAY from people verus AT THEM
b) blowing your nose (and NOT piling them the tissues next to you - cuz me sitting in the space next to you will honestly just be disgusted)....
c) tell people in advance that u are sick - so if they dont' want to get sick, opt out of events...
d) wash your hands before touching people...i hate it when i see people cough and then start touching other people...ie. give them hugs or shake their hands...GERMS PEOPLE GERMS!!!

anyhoo...dindin time...bf has big exam tonight so i'm on cooking duty!!

I can't work!! I have another paper due Tuesday and I find so difficult to write. I know I'm going to regret it tomorrow when i am rushing to get it done..but yet again, that doesn't seem to motivate me.

Yesterday was anni with bf. Wow 1.5 already! We ate at home - because initally I was supposed to work but they called and cancelled. While I took a nap, Er made dinner - yummy! I can't remember what it is called but it was yummy in my tummy! Afterwards we went to Chien Noir, which is a bistro type restaurant in Kingston, for desserts and drinks. I love the atmosphere there, very dim lights, candles, jazzy music. ALthough we both didn't like our drinks (bad bar tender there)our desserts were amazing. Eric got a honey pumpkin cheesecake while I got a "duo" creme brulee -original and mocha!! mMmMmM We ended the night off watching "in good company" - only because that was the last good movie playing.

Friday Eric's parents came up and we went shopping at Costco. Some lady thought I was 14!!! I went up to get a tastetester , and she looked at me and said
"where's your mommy?"...
(me)"uh..she's not here",
(he points to eric's mom)"is that her?"
(me) no, that's my bf's mom
(her) OH {insert shocked expression}your boyfriend?? how old are you?
(me) 21?
(her) OH! I"m sorry I thought you were ....like...14
(me)mmmm that's okay...

I told Eric and his dad and they started laughing at me. Er's dad pointed out that I was wearing my Queen's jacket which she could have read and realized that I was in university....oh well...I'm used to people thinking i'm young..but..come on...14?? that's just too much

Went to dance class -which i'm really scared about cuz..well I suck since I missed 2 classes.. *sigh* but that's another story. On my way back home, I ran into a SWARM of chinese people at A&P - they were all waiting for a bus to go to the Asian Semi. Big crowds of Asian people freak me out - yes I'm Asian..but I don't know...just kinda scary cuz you're going through teh crowd of nicely dressed people and I"m like in sweats and my hair all messed up. *lol* I dont' know..I don't find it particulary fun going to those events anymore. Don't get me wrong, I think going out having fun with your friends is GREAT...but I think I'm more of a homebody. I think I equate these events with clubbing - and for anyone who likes it that's great for you - i have nothign against you. but for me...it really isn't for me. I don't particulary love to dance with people or get drunk with people either. People tell me they like to go and have fun with their friends there - but is drinking the night away really that much fun??? And is creating drunk memories or memories where you reject other guys or for that matter, tempt other guys REALLY that much fun? How are those memories really going to enhance one's friendship with another? Every time I go, all I see is people being or trying to be cool - I mean sometimes it seems as if it's a popularity contest..to see how many people you can know in the club? How many drinks you can get people to buy you? Or how many drinks you can drink before you get drunk? Or how many guys you can get to pick you up? You are really there to see (what's out there if u're single) or to be seen.


I think for if I was to hang out with my friends, and develop my friendships with them, I'd rather go with you to some coffee shop and talk! Get to know YOU...not the "you" you are trying to be - all dressed up, nice and cool.... Plus you won't be super tired the next day, or broke.

I'm sorry if I offend anyone with my povs....I know there are some of my friends who really enjoying going out just for the pure fact of dancing...and that I totally don't mind...but I don't believe that EVERYONE out there does it for those reasons solely.

so life has been so overwhelming the past few days - yesterday I hit a high point. I was opening up my cupboard to get some brown sugar and when i did something fell down right into by bowl of cereal making it fly into the air with all the little darn pieces too. I was soooo upset at that point and didn't know what to do. I think I would have totally blown up if bf wasn't there to comfort me. It's not really the cereal incident that really threw me off, it was more like just the tip of the iceberg (I'm STILL finding pieces of cereal today *sigh*)...so I decided to take a night off and just RELAX. Although the next couple of weeks of school are tough tough tough...I know if I don't take the time to breath I'm going to end up in overdrive and mentally and physically overexhaust myself.
