weee!

gonna meet elvina at queen st tomorrow. went around toronto with my brother, looked at some notable architecture (was for his project), saw the incredibles, wanted to get cologne for my brother, but ended up getting perfume for myself (dkny be delicious, mmmm)

the dems win

i haven't updated for a long time.
this weekend's homecoming and it's been great fun so far. i went to a dance party last night and pam and i talked about boys until 6 this morning, lol, we're such bimbos.
speaking of being a bimbo, i fucked up my stats exams this week. i'm really furious at how lately i've been unable to focus on my work. i guess it's the combined indifference, some exhaustion from a full year of school, but probably it's because of this internship search. it's so time-consuming. i have an interview on wednesday for this firm in ny. i hope it goes well, i'm nervous as the interview's supposed to be an hour and a half long!!
and i'm supposed to be going to dc after that to interview at another firm. if i don't get either of these internships (and the chance of that happening is high), i've already secured something that's actually here in hanover. well, more like norwich, vt, but really, what's the difference?
my family's going ok. my mom called me 2 days ago asking me if i wanted to go to thailand with her for december break. HELL YEAH! hopefully it'll work out, my family's always concocting these awesome vacation ideas, but they usually don't pull through.
on another note, i want to go to montreal badly.
at any rate, operating on very little sleep. i'm going to take a nap after this shift is over.

was fantastic...but i was inconsiderate to my roomies and friends. that was bad.
plus i have to get my shit together. i still have to find an internship for the winter!!!

everything's going just great. i'm back in my old room with my old roommates. seeing my friends again. now it's just a matter of getting an internship/job for the winter. it's been a headache. and very time-consuming.

has been taken over by resumes and cover letters.

AND IT'S FUCKING FANTASTIC!!!!
udpates to come later (i actually kept a journal throughout the trip)
to be with my family again and sleeping in my bed and waking up to this beautiful day!
I'M HOME!!

i came back home yesterday and now, i'm packing for china. i leave tomorrow morning. this is insane. i hope i don't get sick from exhaustion. i haven't gotten much sleep lately. packing was absolutely horrible. this sounds pretty moronic, but i had no idea it would take so friggin long. instead of leaving at 7 am like we intended, we left at 5 pm, this factors in the time i spent on my paper (sigh, i HATE papers, this was only a 5-page paper, but it was excruciating. i think i'm becoming progressively stupid). surprisingly, i'm not feeling very emotional. perhaps it's b/c i'm tired or b/c i know i'll be seeing my friends in the fall again. i'm actually feeling sad about leaving my home and my family. when my dad finally drove into the garage (this was 2:30 in the morning), i got out and looked outside. the neighborhood looked so romantic, with all the trees and flowers in bloom and the night being so quiet, the streetlights were dim. i just wanted to walk around. i'll do that tonight before i leave.

my relationship with him has progressed. although we both had papers due (granted, his workload was a lot worse than mine, 20 pg paper!) and we were in for a late night, we still hung out for a long time. i had dinner with krystal last night, and she was telling me the importance of "chicks over dicks". and that made me feel bad. i said bye to ma 2 boys, but i didn't say bye to 2 of my girlfriends...i sent emails to them apologizing...but of course that doesn't relieve the guilt i feel.

i can't believe i'm going to be in beijing. i'm incredibly unprepared for it. my zhongwen sucks, i'll have to review my characters and grammer on the plane. and i haven't done any research on the city.

is unreal. this girl who moved to california YEARS ago from the private girls school i went to before high school actually found me. i haven't talked with her for...6 years? amazing...and i wonder how she knew it was me. well, probably my screenname (tdotsam). but still, i have a picture of a guy's ass on my profile. she definitely could not have recognized me from that!
... right?

was great. i hung out with him for a long time.
what else did i do? this week was busy. i got back with a friend; i had to take her to the college's health centre...depression (i felt really bad, i haven't been a good friend to her lately, she's sick now so we haven't hung out since then).

i had lunch with an inspiring unaids/unicef official. she's seventy and still working hard.

watched the big lebowski (fascinating movie, definitely woke me up. very far out)

miss my family.

it's a beautiful day, but i'm obligated to catch up with my work :(

i miss home. my toronto. roaming around the city. i think that's a major reason why i'm so emotional and lazy to do academic work.

went to this law school admissions sessions with allison (i know i know, too early!). but i'm glad i went, it scared the shit out of me. it's really all about the gpa and lsat score. sigh, and here i am writing a 10-page paper at the last minute AGAIN. i've really gotta work on my time management.
can't believe i'll be in beijing in a couple wks. and then i'll be a sophomore!

why do you have to make this so hard? are you just stringing me along? when i saw you with another girl, you made me so sad. and i see you everywhere.

i'm reading the national geographic!
i haven't looked through one for ages. i used to pore over them as a little kid, especially this one article abouit toronto.
really, i could spend the entire day just reading the economist, atlantic monthly, and the nat'l geographic

Baby, baby, baby from the day I saw you
I really, really wanted to catch your eye
There's something special 'bout you
I must really like you
'Cause not a lot of guys are worth my time
Ooh baby, baby, baby
It's getting kinda crazy
'Cause you are taking over my mind

seeing him this wkend :D

but totally not motivated

came back from a joyride. it was AMAZING. we nearly got ourselves killed. and we got pulled over (!). but everybody's alive and we still have clean records. omg, that was hilarious!!!

do you think about me as much as i think about you?

was so great. i spent nearly 8 hours with him and i learned so much about him. so considerate, mature, and calm. and he can cook, asian food at that. sigh, now if only i could date him.

cooking with a cutie tomorrow night. gonna be a nice dinner
