TODAY = MOVE-IN DAY.....
minor drawback... move-in day = TENTATIVE. =( still packin though. got most of my stuff packed. what do do with my bed and desk? can't leave it in my room cuz my roommate's new roommate will be moving in tonite and this weekend. and i will be gone this weeked to UCSD APSA Officer Retreat out in Julian (1.5 hrs east of sd). =/ freakin mother bitch. if the guy who was handlling all our paperwork for the townhouse rental wasn't such a cock, life would be much easier... *sigh*

MOVE-IN DAY: FRIDAY AUG. 31
conveniently, i will be living practically right next door to my outreach co-coodinator Steph Aguon. =) so why don't i just use this as an opportunity to advertise. =) Please help out with UCSD APSA High SChool Conference on Sat. Nov. 17!!! we need facilitators, floaters (ppl doing random stuff), security and parking ppl... know any hook-ups for catering or entertainment or speakers? my door is always open. please help. =) thank u!!!

oh yes, tuesday i began my ELP (English Language Program) job, which is every Tues/Thurs morning. i've done this last year as well, so it's fun as usual. =) i'm an assistant teacher for Korean businessmen from LG (Lucky Goldstar) and they're all really nice. =) and also quite interested in my life as a korean-american. it's also a great opportunity for me to learn more about korea.

well... got lotsa packing to do. can't wait til i'm all moved in. =) wheee~ living with my lovable brothers. i know i'll really enjoy living with them =) crazy kids.

lady: ohh.. ok thank you (after finally getting the hint)

yo mama.

i bought a baseball glove yesterday and it's all jason's fault. and today i bought a new fluffy pillow cuz the one i have is so old and it's just flat and hurts my neck. =P i went on a mad shopping spree today, but it was all stuff that i needed. i still need to buy a duvet, now that i know what it is thanx to davy (hehee). anyhoo, lotsa food i bought. but i need to buy more stuff like storage bins and containers and whatnot. FIRST... i need to find a freakin PLACE TO LIVE!!!! aaggghhhhh....

so tomorrow is my 3rd class session of my boring ass SOC 109 class: Analysis of Sociological Data. O_O yeah. same here. i have homework due on thursday which i should start to get crackin on. and after class i get to go help with the leadership component of Summerbridge! yay~ =) helpful janet~ plus i get to see old friends again.

i also love the feeling of new fluffy sweaters. =) and then after u wash them they don't feel so fluffy anymore. =(

'TIS ALL OVER NOW...
well, Upward Bound Math & Science is officially over and all the craziness has finally subsided... *deep breath* what a build-up of stress as the program slowly came to an end. and the sad part? i'm already starting to miss my students.... and, all the hours i put into making the video, with music and EVERYTHINg.... nothing to show for it. well, it's on my comp, but ugh. *sniff* i'm ok.... at least now i know how to do digital video editing. wheee~!!! now to make adobe premiere work... the program i used was kinda.. basic. i'm ready to get down n dirty..

and so i move on. what next? continue taking summer school, continue tutoring lil dale again, find another part-time job, and i'm looking into volunteering at the local Braille Institute. also need to get real serious about trying to find a place to live. i hope my roomies come back soon... this is not fun. =P poopie. but on a happier note, jason and i toook the CBEST test this past saturday!!! i didn't study for it but i think i did pretty well! =) yayyy.. can't wait to find out my scores..... *twiddle twiddle* i was afraid we were gonna be late cuz he thought the test was at UCSD, not USD. understandable, cuz we have a Warren Lecture Hall, while the CBEST test site was at USD's Warren Hall. damn that warren.

check this site out pplz... =) www.sinfest.com pretty funny stuff...

one of the things i love is the feeling of carrying a bundle of toasty warm clothes fresh out of the dryer. =)

STATUS
EXTREMELY BURNT OUT.... i have so much to do, yet so little time. =P Upward Bound Math & Science ends this week, and i've already printed and made the invitations for our banquet, almost done with the programs, almost done with the certificates, i've been taking pictures for our yearbook, been videotaping throughout the summer, and now i installed Firewire and upgraded my Windows 98, and with only 2 days left i get to figure out how to digitally edit the video. exciting or what? i feel soooooo overloaded and stressed, i'm completely exhausted, very frustrated with computers... yet i can't believe i'm doing all of this. OH! and to top it off, i started summer school today (tues.) *sigh* when this week is over, i'll be utterly relieved. but then again, i'll miss my students terribly..... =/ oy~ the MADNESS!!!
