Winter Break!

HOLA HOLA
Its winter break finally! Hope everyone had a good christmas.
Anyways, So i finally decided on a dental school... and i chose...
UCSF! very excited. They offered my regents as well = )
So next year i get to see views like this:


Only probably better bec. this was taken from a parking garage. oh well
anyways, it'll be fun.
This is an aerial view...



I'm leaving in one week ... that means i really should start packing = )

I'll miss this:



I hope to blog more once I'm in London ...

Finals and the END of Undergrad

This last week is kinda bittersweet... i'm spending it studying for finals...potentially hard finals, yet I'm trying to "enjoy" my last week here in stockton. I'm kind of happy to leave to be honest, bec this school of irritating esp. with teachers such as Moore ... but it will be sad to leave some of these bitches I'll never go to school again with.
In other news, choosing a dental school is becoming a very DIFFICULT choice. Seriously theres jsut so many factors to consider that I don't even know. I guess i can rest assured that any of the schools I pick is a "good" school.
I leave for london in less than a month! so freaking excited... but too bad cross cultural kidn of made me more paranoid.. i'm scared of getting culture shock! HAHA and i have anxiety.
Speaking of which I finally got my classes! the ones i know for sure are dental materials and ecology... lol
and i'm tryign to get SPANISH LMAO and like some geography class... hoping to study as little as possible.

kthxbi

= )

Interviewed at UCSF today, but i am far too tired to post dat.

k bye.

Dental School at UCLA Rocked by Controversy

On Tuesday, officials at the UCLA School of Dentistry acknowledged that the American Dental Association is investigating UCLA students for cheating on a licensing exam, while the campus newspaper published an investigation into preferential admissions to a prestigious residency program at the dental school, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Licensing Exam

At least a dozen UCLA students are under investigation by the ADA for allegedly cheating on an exam that is required to practice dentistry. The students are believed to have shared compact discs with improperly obtained questions from ADA's National Board Dental Examinations, according to dental school officials speaking anonymously to the Times.

Students at USC, Loma Linda University and New York University also are under investigation.

Admissions

The Daily Bruin on Tuesday published an investigation alleging that relatives of large donors to the dental school were given preferential treatment to its orthodontics residency program. There are only six spaces in the program each year.

The investigation and an independent audit earlier this year have incited changes in dental school admissions policies, according to UCLA officials (Sahagun, Los Angeles Times, 11/14).

party like a rockstar...

I haven't done so much partying since like freshman year when I would drink on wed. night and go to biolab hungover. =)
but now i see why i didnt do it for a while
its funny how the most random issues come up. and the most random people i end up talking to.

this week seeems promising, only class on m and tues. plus dinner and fun on mon! yay!

too bad i gots 2 tests after t-givs break.

I want a new camera - cannon sd 850is = )

I had an epiphany today. (like in the dubliners! ahhh!)
I gotta enjoy the last weeks I have here bec. i know i'll miss it. even if the majority of the time is spent studying

i just ate carrot that tasted like dirt

OOOOH THIS IS AN SOS
Next time i see you im giving you a hi FIVE cuz hugs are overrated fyi
HA HA

I like how i got a Pepero box that said: PENIS!!! CUMMING!

woot for another potential all-nighter x_____X

Evo = Satan

I hate my evo book. It has things liek THIS:
"The allele frequency describes a random walk, analogous to a New Year's Eve reveler staggering along a very long train platform with a railroad track on either side: if he is so drunk that he doesn't compensate steps toward one side with steps toward the other, he will eventually fall off the edge of the platform onto one of the two tracks, if the platform is long enough."
riiiiiiiiiight.

WTF

Pacific Interview

It was pretty much what I expected. VERY LONG DAY. The last segment was SO PAINFUL bec some man just sat there for an hour making us ask him questions. We had no questions. awkwardddddd.
Pros:
I liked the clinic and the sim lab... they are big lol
I like the fact that since they DONT have those specialties you get to DO the interesting cases and they aren't shipped off to the specialty clinics
People are very friendly and i think for hte most part... get along with each other ; )
The location is cool = )
I'd already know a lot my classmates!
Facilities are pretty new
clinical skills highly stressed

Cons:
3 year schedule seems really hard. unecessarily hard.
My interviewer was really boring... like no enthusiasm at all. comapred to penn man who was so excited about his school
"elevators"
Living expenses is hella
hellza expensive and financial aid talk was redic
Bascially no flexibility in the program

we'll see...

Interview at Upenn

WELL I just got back yesterday from Philadelphia. I had my interview on Friday and I thought it was a pretty good experience.
I got there on Thursday and just like explored a little... got used to SEPTA .. saw liberty bell...got a phillycheesesteak sandwhich ;)
Um and then i just spent the rest of the night stressing about my interview because it was my first one and I was very nervous.
So too bad that morning I set like 3 alarms on my phone and one on the alarm clock in my room. I wake up to the one in my room because my PHONE was SET BACK an HOUR so if I had relied on that i would probably been late! Stupid verizon set it to liek CENTRAL TIME in the middle of the night. I do NOT understand. Unacceptable.
SO anyways, I was still in a really big hurry because I had to check out of my hotel as well and make them hold my bags. So i took the subway to school and arrived on time blahbalbhlabhlabh
Had a presentation on the school , plus financial aid talk
Then got a tour of the school by a student
Then Had a small meeting with the admissions woman
Had lunch with some students
Had "free time" to explore the campus
Then finally I had my interview in the LAST SLOT

I'm really tired right now,so I"ll just briefly say my impressions
I really liked the school. I wasn't expecting much to be honest because I for some reason thought that upenn was all hyped up just because it was an ivy and had a good name.But it acutally impressed me. It has all its own staff so you don't have to liek SHARE with the med school and so your classes are all taught by dental professionals ... blah so you classes are more catered to dentistry. Their view on dentistry is really neat and something I REALLY like. They view dentistry as having far reaching effects in someone's health. hence their name Penn School of Dental Medicine. Just the fact that they've been around for 125 years says A LOT and that they've worked to like rejuvenate their curriculum as well. I like how there are so many clinics (3 general, 1 endo, 1 ortho, 1 perio, 1 pedo, 1 emergency/oral surgery). Of those, 2 of them are new, 1 is remodeling right now, and the main clinic will be done in 2 years. I think this lets their patients receive a broader sense of care ... and also gives the studnets a chance to learn more. The clinics themselves were pretty routine.. not too fancy but not like run down or anything. In general though I just get the feeling that they may not be as technologicall yadvanced as say pacific.
As far as the 1st and 2nd year stuff... we saw the dent-sim lab. Its actually a really cool program. Its basically this mannequin that you have with teeth but you also have a computer monitor that digitalizes the teeth you are drilling on in the mannequin. So if you do somethign wrong, like sit wrong, hold something wrong, it makes you stop. and as my interviewer man said ... gives you a "golden standard" that you can live up to ... you can measure things up to the micrometer and it sa VERY FAIR grading system because its not up to the whim of a professor. its a computer program. But basically all the stuff for 1st year sand 2nd year is in the BASEMENT and its kind creepy .. but whatever. The lecture halls are pretty normal ... student lab work areas are a little run down and not as nice as at pacific.
In general the students we talked to were like pretty happy where they were. My studnet tour guide was acutally from santa clara univ. but moved to new york. He said there is a great sense of competitiveness but to a point. I'm a little ambivalent about phillybut the campus itself is pretty cool. and its nice that the dnetal school is so connected to the rest of the graduate programs and undergrad campus .. so you can use all those facilities like the gym and whatnot.
The program itself seemed decent. When you start clinical, they split you up into teams with designated staff for each group so you get used to working with them. In addition you get to serve the same patients. What i thought was really cool about thier curriculum was the hospital externship... which is a required 4 week thing at a hospital either locally, or pretty much wherever. Everyone says they love it a lot.
I think about 30 studnets decide to specialize from each class (out of 115 ish), 40 ish go into private practice, 40 go int o general dentistry residency , and the rest go into army/air force or whatever. I think thats a really high percentage of specialize students... = ) but of course its split between all of the specialities. But still .. one year 9 people went into oral surgery!
My interview person was an Alum that also taught at the school part time. He owned his own practice in pennsylvania.. he was really nice and easy going. The interview was Really laid back... He asked me like 3 questions and then the rest of the time (liek 20 minutes) was me asking him questions. And basically my questions were answered with him saying how wonderful penn is. hahaha But he showed me that it IS importnat that the school has a strong alumni relationship. It is the alumni who are helping the dental school raise funds to build the new clinic...
But anyways ... It was a lot of fun.. i wish we could have met more students and it might have been cool to also have a studnet interview.. but they are all busy.

So i'll see how it compares to my other interviews!

Got so much work now!!! day light savings time <3!

Interview at Upenn

"If it weren't for Christians I would be Christian" - Gandhi

Ummm its monday but it feels like friday because i had no weekend! I just took stupid biochem midterm and it made me want to cry.
I have a freaking interview this week and i have def. not prepared for it so i'm rather scared.

Frustration

Just came back from sectionals in Berkeley! The workshops and stuff were lame... but roll call was hella good. It was the first time we had SO many peopel form our chapter and we outcheered like almost everyone and our roll call was pretty well prepared and unpredicatble. hahahaha i'm proud!
Angry part of post:
One of the things I hate about this school is just the fact that there are SO many pre-dents here who are just too cocky. You aren't the best. There are millions of people who are better than you. Also, I hate it when people come to the pre-dent program just becasue they don't know what they want to do with theirs lives but think medicine is 'TOO HARD" it makes us all look bad and its not true. If you dont want to help people, if you CANT LIVE to acutally BE A GENERAL DENTIST, GO AWAY. Specializing is important, but shit, its not everything. Dont join some organization just to make yourself "look better" it doesn't change who you are. (another reason why i get irritated every semester by certain pledges). makes me SO angry.
I am on thin end right now. I've got 4 weeks of pure hell coming. Interviews, exams, trying to remain sane....

january now please!!!


A . A. X. I. alpha alpha xi =)

2 AM Post...

Because thats how i do.
I have a midterm tomorrow in evo. i'm sitting here memorzing geologic eras, epochs, periods, the evolution of random ass things, etc. Over the past few days, my classmates and I have come up with 3 things:
1. Moore is a whore, but we like her sense of fashion (some of us more than others). sorry that was sarcastic if you couldn't catch that....
2. Evolution is stupid.
3. We are going to cause one of the biggest extinctions in the past 4.6 billion years.
This book is so retarded.

Also,
there is an "animal" named hallucegenia, but we like to call it spiky stick.
and GONDWANALAND is a very very very funny word.

I'm goign to the 909 on Friday - Amtrak. hopefully i don't get raped. WOOT. soon dubu, ten ren, PINKBERRY, SUDS party! LOL!

Lastly, I feel a little bad... but I laugh at this semester's aphio exec board because now you know how much FUN it is. ; )

Interviews and Such

I'm so excited/scared because... i got my interview at Pacific! yayyyyyy
Pacific is Nov. 8th
Penn is Nov. 2nd - flying out the 1st and flying back the 2nd at night = )

Biochem pwned everyone... that was fun .

Study Abroad

Dear Mr. Bishop,
I am delighted to be able to tell you that your application for a place on the Study Abroad Programme at Queen Mary, University of London, has been successful and I am pleased to make you an offer of a place. My colleagues and I look forward to welcoming you to the College and ensuring that your studies and life at Queen Mary are enjoyable and fulfilling.

SO excited! esp bec Amy got in too... just waiting for liz = )
And Housing is co-ed flats with sepparate rooms and bathrooms...so we won't be isolated hahaha
Too b ad I have to be there Jan. 3rd. that is obscenely early. but oh well! LONDON, bitch!

Um, so I really shouldn't be doing this... i really should be studying BIOCHEM which is currently KICKING MY ASS harder than any class has ever before. I feel like an IDIOT. but it's all good. Friday will be joyous.

Also, I got my Penn letter thing for interview and it did NOT impress me. interview seems really short and theres like all this "free time" shouldn't they have sessions about financial aid.. you mom, etc? that is dumb. but i still want to go for an interview bec its away form stockton

I really would like an interview at pacific soon...

I'm so scared for interviews. = 0 !!!
So anyways, I gotta get onto studying freakinggggggggggggg hemoglobin

Yayyy!

I got my first interview ... at UPenn! I dunno the date yet because it got mailed to my house... but i'm excited to go! =)

Baby, where'd you get your body from?

I got it from my mama!

I just had my first two midterms in evo and physics and I seriously felt like i was studying for finals. NOT acceptable. I stayed up till 4:30!
I made japanese curry and it was sooo good!
And the secondary for ucsf is a major bitch! Who wants to READ like 6 extra essays anyways!?

Jackfruit is SO GROSS looking.

Skool

That's where i live. Its kinda pretty from the outside! And the sky is deceivingly nice...but really its just hot. It's been nice lately though and i'm getting used to walking really far to go to classes. Classes are so blehhh- i acutally have to read the book in evo? ummm... sadly this is the first class that that has occured HAHA
Next few weeks are goign to be doom... two midterms next week, plus hella shit for mentor (autobiography! wtf!) and biochem, random rush events... ehhhhhh
I hate people in the library who COUGH or CLEAR their throat REALLY LOUD VERY OFTEN. UGH that boy needs to shut himself ... or not sit by me. Also its weird.. the library is being taken over by sophomores! hahahaha last year it was all us as sophomore too. I must say .. tis not as amusing as it was last year. But maybe that will motivate me to do more work while i'm there = )
OH yeah, i hate mentor. It brings back bad memories of TOK .. where there is this unecessary drive to contribute something useless to the discussion. The teacher in my opinion is VERY BAD at facilitating discussion. he says peopel are wrong, he doesn't try and like guide the discussion in any direction and cuts it off when it starts to get interesting. He made us read these like "ETHICAL WILLS" we had to write which was basically like advice you'd leave behind after you DIE. its like .. UM that is PERSONAL why the fuck would i want to share that with RANDOM people. ALSO he wanted us to share these like funeral eulogies that people would say about us at OUR FUNERAL. so awkward. He would call on people and they would be like HIDING THIER FACE bec they DID NOT WANT TO READ. YET HE STILL CONTINUED ASKING PEOPLE TO READ THEIRS. BITCH!
I hate it so much because i've done it all. I've analyzed stupid literature to no end, i've ALREADY discussed all of this shit in high school.. why do i gotta do ti again in college with arrogant people who think they know everything! People contribute useless shit to the discussion. We have to write our autobiography .. 10-15 freaking pages OMGGGG why is that necessary. we have only lived for like 20 years.. and its not liek we can accurately remermber half of it! Then we get to read a biography and "explore" their moral development. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!! I CARE WHY? Basically i think i hate this class the most because I don't know anyone in it.. and theyre all like people who major in touchy-feely shit. i don't do that and never will I HAVE to do that again. I'm a bitch, i know.
I hate ethics. yeah yeah it can help me live a better life, but being graded on how well I "learn" ethics, moral development, etc is bullshit.

That is all.

This article makes me laugh

Pacific Ranked among Nation’s Top Schools for Campus Activities

(August 23, 2007) -

University of the Pacific ranks among the top 20 colleges in the country for having the most to do on campus, according to the latest rankings of The Princeton Review, which were released Monday.

Pacific is also listed on The Princeton Review’s Best 366 Colleges and is one of the 123 colleges named on the Best Western College list. The New York-based company did not rank the colleges on those lists, only listing the schools alphabetically. The lists can be found at www.princetonreview.com.

Pacific ranked number 20 among schools on the More to Do on Campus list. Other schools on the list include Duke University, University of Notre Dame and Tuskegee University. The rankings, which include a variety of top 20 categories, were based on a survey of 120,000 students.

“Pacific provides a wealth of opportunities outside of the classroom, from leadership training to Greek Life, ethnic clubs, social justice organizations, intramural sports, movie nights and volunteer efforts in a great community environment,” said Provost Phil Gilbertson. “These stem from our core values: learner-focused, whole person education. It is not only our goal to provide a superior education, but also to create an environment that is rich with activities that contribute to an outstanding student-centered learning experience.”

The Princeton Review, which provides test preparation, education and college admission services, features Pacific in a two-page profile in the 2008 edition of its annual book, along with the rest of the 366 schools. Only about 15 percent of the country’s four-year colleges – along with two Canadian colleges - were chosen for the book.

The schools were picked primarily for their outstanding academics. Other factors included institutional data, feedback from students, school visits and opinions of independent college counselors, students, and parents.

Back in the 209

I'm sad that this zipcode isn't symmetrical like 707 or 909. maybe thats why its sucks so much.

So... its really hot here. like the hottest I can remember.
Yesterday -106
Today - 104
Tomorrow - 105
basically over 100 until saturday (and maybe beyond)
walking to class is painful bec it actually takes me 15 min in the HOTT. it is hot at 930am. that is unacceptable. thank god for AC.

But anyways, my stove/oven doesn't work in my apt yet... so thats kind of retarded.
And class is gay and strenuous already. Since when have i ever gotten homework the first day? lectures are SOOOOOOOO LONG (2 hours) and lectureers are so bad. physics is like torture. he talks so slow and tells u how to enter numbers in your calculator.

Well that is all for now.

HARRY POTTER!!!

Hi, i finally finished DEATHY HALLOWS. =) (surprisingly it was NOT spoiled for me beforehand!)
am i the only one that expected MUCH WORSE and thought the end was a bit redic... i kind of expected them ALL to die and then live together in some special death land HAHAHA but maybe ... i'm just gruesome like that. I didn't really like how so much of the book was just liek RANDOM ass luck that harry lived. It seemed like he got lucky one too many times. Also, I thought that one chapter where he is with dumblodore in some place inbetween death was disturbing. I still dont like snape and i don't like how harry named all his childrens after dead people. ALBUS SEVERUS? thats just wrong. LASTLY, i don't think its right how harry uses UNFORGIVABLE curses against his enemies... its just contradictory! at least he never used the DEATH one. why i'm thinkign about these things... i do not know. I think its the literary criticism inside of me put there by ib english ^___^

went to sac yesterday to see aunt... had dinner at lemon grass = ) and then went to see a play at the music circus... basically it was weird bec everyone there was either REALLY OLD, or really young... AWK. It was hello dolly ... kind of amusing actually. But this was canceled out by the fact that i waited for an elevator for 20 minutes. not acceptable.

Today i washed two cars... i wanted to die. tomorrow i have to wax dat shit UGHHH Also the windwos inside are really dirty... but even though i clean it... it is like weirdly dirty no matter what i do. its liek OILY or osmething. i don't like dat. I have a feeling i'm going to have to "learn how to change oil" form padre sometime this week... that'll be "fun." gross. I'm scared that car is goign to b reak down in the middle of highway 12 where i get not cell reception. = \

I kinda want to go back to school... well not so much SCHOOL SCHOOL just AWAY form home. padres are irritating and they get angry so easily. I need my own room where i am not distrubed all the time to eat tomatoes... pick fruit...wash cars...vacuum floors... etc.

Another Trip to SF

Diane and I took another trip to SF ... this time to visit kush and to go to GIANT ROBOT!!!
I love that store.. it has so many toys that are SO random and amusing. but i was sad that they didn't have anymore anatomy capsules... bec i only have clear ones and i want the COLOR ones. bitches. But i bought some other amusing toys ... its just kind of expensive. I want to go back! and to the one in LA! lol.
Had lunch at this thai place and i had really good crispy chicken! i was pleasantly surprised.
We do not do well with public transportation... we went the wrong way.... we had to stand in very crowded buses that made VERY abrupt stops and ran into several people. Lots of chinese people came on with groceries that blocked where I could stand and i was NOT pleased. I think we spent more time on the bus then at the acutal places we wanted to go to -___-
We visited kushhhh in his new apartment .. very nice very nice = )
He showed us around the dental school... his cadaver ... etc. it was cool bec I'd never gotten a chance to actually go inside -____- made me kind of excited .. but not really bec they all want to die from all the work they have to do.. so uh.. yeah. not looking forward to that. It was such a nice day! saw the golden gate from the sim lab =)
Anyways, I got new glasses! and ... I gotta do some more applications so i don't have to do them once school starts = (
Moving in on the 25th probably. tata!

Juvenile melee closes section of North Texas

By: Audrey Wong

FAIRFIELD - Ilka Valencia rocked like a pendulum Tuesday afternoon as she wailed, knowing her 15-year-old son was lying in an ambulance.

"No, my son, my son," Valencia sobbed.

Her son was stabbed, then apparently retaliated by stabbing his alleged attacker, police said. Valencia wandered under the crime scene tape and begged Fairfield police for word about her wounded son. Her other, younger son sat in a patrol car.

Valencia swung between sorrow and rage as she wondered why officers had detained her younger son and his two friends. One of the friends - a slight boy with long, dirty blond hair - was led away in handcuffs.

Firefighters and police closed off the 1700 block of North Texas Street so two helicopters could land on the road. The two stabbing victims were transported to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek.

Both injured boys suffered non-life threatening wounds, said Fairfield police Lt. Al Bagos.

The melee stemmed from a quarrel at the Jack-in-the-Box on North Texas Street. The 15-year-old, two 14-year-old boys and an 11-year-old boy were at the restaurant, police said. A 12-year-old boy walked in and argued with the 15-year-old over the soda machine.

When the 15-year-old and his three companions left, the 12-year-old followed on his bicycle, Bagos said. After catching the four, the 12-year-old tussled with the 15-year-old - allegedly stabbing the teen in the neck and back.

The 12-year-old then fled, with the 15-year-old and the other three boys in pursuit. They caught the 12-year-old in front of Kuk Sool Korean Martial Arts around 4 p.m., Bagos said, and one boy handed the 15-year-old a knife. The teen allegedly stabbed the 12-year-old in the head and torso, Bagos said.

Larry White was inside his martial arts studio when he said he saw four boys surround a fifth one, who was getting stabbed. White snatched the fifth boy and dragged him inside. After the other four boys threatened White, he went outside to confront them with a heavy staff.

White said one boy pointed at him and said, "'I'm going to kill him, he stabbed my brother, then I'm going to kill you,' " White said.

"I was about to kill him," White said. "He was a kid, but I had no choice, he had a knife and he was coming at me. He wanted to come into the school and finish the job."

A woman then wrapped her arms around the boy threatening White and convinced him to leave, White said. The 15-year-old walked away and sat on a curb. As police arrived, the other three boys followed the teen.

"I don't care what (the 12-year-old) did," White said as he scrubbed blood from the floor. "I was not going to stand there and watch these kids kill this boy."

All juveniles will face charges of assault with a deadly weapon, Bagos said. The second stabbing doesn't appear to be in self-defense because the 12-year-old was running away and not actively assaulting anyone when he was stabbed, Bagos said.

Valencia said her son was taken from the hospital and booked into Solano County Juvenile Hall.

The 11-year-old is also a suspect in the attempted robbery of a family Sunday on the Linear Trail, Bagos said.


WHY DO I LIVE HERE!?!?!? SO EFFING GHETTO.
little childrens stabbing each other!? WTF
ALSO, i hate audrey wong.

I'm finally done with DAT's ... took them today at 9am! it went surprisingly well. happy with my scores... mostly just relieved i wont have to take them again and so.. as long as i get accepted at the study abroad program i get to study abroad in london in the spring!

Person killed on Caltrain tracks in San Mateo

-- A train taking Caltrain passengers on their southbound commute struck and killed a person on the tracks in San Mateo at around 5:45 p.m. tonight, creating long delays on the rail system.

The person hit was a "trespasser" and "a probable suicide," said Caltrain spokesman Jonah Weinberg.

The incident, which happened near 25th Avenue in San Mateo, forced the temporary closure of both tracks, Weinberg said. Passengers in the affected train were finally transferred to another train at approximately 6:45 p.m., when one track was reopened.

S U P E R BAKA13: i was on that train.

S U P E R BAKA13: in the car that struck the person

My Classmates

This is a post about my special classmates both at Solano and Kaplan.

Solano:
There used to be a boy that sat behind me named aristotle sacramento. he was special and then he dropped and i was a little sad inside
Then there is the boy to the right corner of me. He wears rubber bands on his pants for no reason. Initially i had thought it was because he biked to school, but no. Today i saw him emerging from his CAR. WHY do you need to wear rubber bands around your pants otherwise? This perplexes me all throughout class. Also he has long hair and it annoys me when he talks to his friend with an annoying accent.
The man that sat next to me transferred out, but he always wore like undershirts and it was gross because his pot belly would hang out from it. He had a zip up binder like a 4th grader and he never took notes which perplexed me.
Then the boy who sits to the left corner of me. He comes in everyday with headphones partly on and i'm not sure if anything is playing. but during class he randomly undulates as if he's listening to his music. He periodically looks at his orange phone but never gets any messages and looks very angry during class. one time he looked at me because i was going to point out a mistake she made and then i was intimidated. I was sitting at the math lab and he randomly came to sit with me for no reason and stared at me. He also wears really weird white pants with like girly fringe on the bottom.
The boy next to that boy is his friend. today he yelled at the teacher because this little string with a ball at the end was blocking something on the board. I would pee my pants if i was the teacher but she just made some nervous joke about how math majors are anal retentive. and then asked 'DO YOU KNOW WHAT ANAL MEANS?" i was amused.
Then theres the brownies in the back
OH and there is the girl that tries to hard to be polite. She wears slutty clothes and always drinks tea with a straw in different tumblers (she has like 10!) She asks complicated questions that end up being stupid and i laff.
And finally there is the boy that sits in the front row that i don't think the teacher likes. He asks questions a lot and in an annoying way.
OH and lastly the girl that sits in front of me ... the girl who wears a headwrap thing and asked the teacher if she could put the quadratic equation in her calculator.

Kaplan
This class consists of 75% fobs that can barely speak english. It scares me.
Theres the boy who accts like a boy from the 1950s and reads like a proper WHORE and i watn to slap him. He always asks qetsuions that the instructor can't answer.
Theres the weird girl with the half mullet. her hair is like half chopped off in the back but then theres other hair thats long. its basically retarded. she is fob and she always asks dumb questions. Today we were doing some reading comp shit and she said a keyword that was hella dumb or said something and i swear someone exhaled REALLY loud in frustration.
People have weird names and i get confused as to the gender of the person that responds sometimes. (eg lynn = boy?)

I think i noticed so much of this because i don't pay attention / i don't have friends. HAHAHA
that is all.

Harry Potter OOTP

I saw it today with "keeks" HAHAHA
Liked: lovegood girl with her knargles and pudding. she was so amusing!, "it was darker" and Sybill trewlawny, and snape's awkwardness!
Hated: harry's representation of emo, random awkward dialogue, sirius' death = ( , the way voldemort looks,harry's KISS - GROSS.

Still must see ratatouileeeeeeee and maybe at some point transformers...

31 Days until DAT

>___<

POO in a handbasket

I'm SO tired when i wake up at 7:07am to my BANANA pancakes alarm to go to calc i want to pee my pants. Today i got stuck behind a tractor on my way to school and they are widening a bridge in the farm lands so i have to take detours LOL.

HARRY POTTER this month. so excited! i saw losers waiting outside the movie theather in davis today. it made me laugh... bec if i didn't have class tomorrow i sooo would do it too LOL. althoug hthe movies are kinda lame. but the booooook = ). Also i think dan radcliffe or wahtever is really scary. he poses with leather vests and it frightens me. and that hermione bitch is probably a bitch in real life LOL. and rupert is just weird looking. (diane probalby thinks he's hot)

Also, my app finally got mailed today! = )
AND i'm eating buffalo tonight
that is all.

Clazziquai Project

I love this group - they're Korean and they blend different types of music ... CLAssical, jAZZ, and groove apparently ? Anyways I liked them because they sang for the OST for kim sam soon but the rest of their music is like randomly tranquil and upbeat and it amuses me how they interchange english and korean (even if sometimes it doesn't make sense) I think they're really popular in random asian countries as well... probably japan and like taiwan i think. I'm so happy they just came out with a new album = )



I think this is one of their best songs - choom / dance. Its from an older album.

The New 7 Wonders of the World

Um. so i remember i voted for these like way long ago and i'm NOT pleased by the 7 winners. LAME SAUCE.


So, i guess i understand this one. it was built out of "love." But the hagia sophia looks so much cooler.

I don't even know.... Petra, Jordan. wtf

Ehh boring.

SO COOL. I WANT TO GO!!!

^___^ its so amazing when you're on it. I wish i tobogganed down it. LOL

some random ass statue of jesus. simply put, NO.

Theres so many more interesting places than this temple that makes me think of human sacrifice.

why didn't the pyramids win.

i've been to 2 !

Visiting Amy / SF shopping

Went to SF today to visit Amy bec. she is interning at the Fed.
After midterm in calc went to concord, took BART and met amy + diane. yay
Ate in this really cool food court that has water that falls form the roof like rain. =)
Parted with amy and went shopping for a very long time.
Diane met another shirt twin
I TOUCHED the iphone. so cool. too bad i'll have one lol. my aunt got one tho and i get to see it tormorrow! I love mac stores.
Random stores are scary - Ruehl esp. and the overly eager salesman at martin + osa. scary.
Took numerous pictures with these hearts that are apparently everywhere in sf.
I got to play with RAT from Ratatouille. =)
And i got beard papa... the green tea isn't that good but maybe thats because I ate it like 4 hours after i bought it. whatever. I want to eat at out the door when i go back.
Anyways. i took bart back and I had to sit next to this really gross, smelly, STRANGE man who took recycling with him on bart. i was like wtf... u choose to sit next to ME when there are other open seats. GO AWAY YOU STINK. In my head... i'm like ok well he's probably going to oakland. so only a few stops. but no. he falls asleep and it is nearing my stop and i can't get out of my seat wihtout like crawling all over him. UMMMMMMm distrubed. so i like say EXCUSE ME and try to wake him up/ get OUT and then he is like "HOLD ON CALLLLLLLM DOWN" UGHHHHHHHHH I"LL CALM DOWN WHEN I DON"T MISS MY STOP BITCH! that is all.
Other than that... my dad is redo-ing our floor to wood so its annoying moving large pieces of furniture that my parents "don't even like." They always say they don't like these stupid furnitures that are TOO LARGE for their room that they ACCEPTED From my aunt after being used for like 10 years. We had to take this HUGE UHAUL and carry that shit up the stairs. If they didn't WANT IT in the first place why the EF did i have to carry that shit and move that in the first place. There is this gross rubber material from under the carpet everywhere and i hate stepping on it.
I realllllllllly need to study DAT. i'm going to cry. not being able to use a calculator for it makes me sad too. I'm trying to do gas law things and i can't even use the equation with R ... bec its too hard to hand multiply. basically i forgot how to multiply and divide by hand. (wtf 273/312 ... how do you do that fast enough!)
Happy fourth everyone!

Anjelah Johnson: Nail Salon

The Blastopore forms the Anus

This is something I need to know for the DAT and it makes me laugh. anus. HA. Today i almost laughed when my instructor said penis and when this girl said vagina. And then this fob couldn't pronounce ejaculatory duct and i almost peed my pants. i'm so immature. oh well.

Anyways, solano ... is solano

LOL!!!!!!!!
Kaplan is demanding

and I'm taking herbal medicine that tastes like shit. and looks like this. in a bag. with random deers on it. and seals apparently. i dont' like dat


I rediscovered alice's morning show and it makes me happy. I remember listening to it before zero period senior year. =)

My dad is REdoing the floor in my house so now all i hear is VERY loud banging, nailing, cries of frustration, sawing, and "I need your help......" It actually amuses me, until the day when I have to move all of the furniture out of my parents room. They are large. like 2 of me.

anyways, sf next week! woot. maybe i'll get a tour of the fed ;)

I miss seeing people other than my parents daily, the library at pacific esp the computer section (harhar), yelling obscenities at random and singing songs like BUY U A DRANK!!!!!!, and late night food runs, and
Lastly,

muahahahahha i miss this most of all!

Things that have happened

Wednesday - I made dinner for my parentals. AHAHA it wasn't a failure, it was actually really good. = )
Thursday - Started Kaplan, sickness consumed me. traffic makes me want to cry. my theory that I am late to every first day of class is confirmed.
Friday - Bitches came to visit. Stupid jelly belly wasn't in operation. Thanks for coming! = )
Saturday - Studied -___-
Sunday - Studied, made the best biscuits ever (lemon ricotta biscuits! MMM)
Today - my birfday = )

Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes! (however long ago they were *cough cough* in april ;)

So anyways, I have many frustrations with dental shit.
1st of all - I apply to take my dat and i SWEAR i picked 5 schools to submit my scores to. then i get this stupid letter and it says my app is accepted etc, and then the number of schools i selected was 0. UGHHHHHHH So I called them like 5 million times and they kept transferring me to various people named nina and keith. Then after MANY frustrating phone calls, this meat tells me to fax or send in a letter saying what happened because its happened before. So i send in a fax that day (which was like 2-3 weeks ago). Still haven't gotten anything back. So now i need to call those bitches AGAIN. Too bad when i call this time, my situation explaining my problem will be VERY weird. And the telephone answerers are really uneducated sounding.
2nd of all - I think because i put my AP scores on my dental app under like that sepparate section HS ap credit they are expecting a transcript. So i emailed them ... and hopefully they get back to me. Actually I called, but they were like busy. bitches. SO my freaking GPA has not been verified yet even though all my transcripts have been in for awhile now. OTHER PEOPLE have had theirs verified so much earlier it gives me anxiety!
that is all.

Female Richard and other things...

This picture kind of explains female richard. We get this receipt the first time we go here and we its liek host: richard. we were confused after having looked at our real "host".
suddenly, i want more. HAHAHA thats such a fobby line they use. We spent about an hour in there tryign to take good pictures of richard, especially when she was handling the machine with a stick that she lieks to move up and down to move around the drinks. LOL It was really hard not lookin suspicious because there were many workers. In the mean time we sucked rods and balls and ate chicken wings with sauce and watched this little girl who was obviously training to be a slut/ho/whore when she grows up eating her churro stick and bending over provocatively. Notice how the importnat things are highlighted in that receipt: VALLEJO (GHETTO) and 707, bitches. also, you are being recorded... which is ironic, because really THEy were being recorded.
These are other attempts:

Richard with her stick.

"LET ME TAKE A PICTURE OF YOU." - richard in background being negligent and talking on her phone. tsk tsk

mmmm not so successful this time.

Random pictures that i found on my phone and have yet to share...

diane touches paul: "this is weird." Notice: natural light lamp in background = retarded.

copy my head during finals. or something like that.

i like dat.

Human "tetris" game

Just in case you haven't seen this... AMUSES I wish i could play

Solano "College"

My "applied calculus" class started at solano. These are my annoyances/amusements
- i leave my house at 7:40, anticipating getting there early, but it takes me 30 effing minutes to get there because there is STUPID traffic on the backroads/farmroads. everyone and their MOM is there. I have to listen to morning talk shows, meanwhile, I am late.
- i get there and she spends freaking 45 minutes taking role/attendence
- I have to buy freakign engineering paper to do my homework on
- she is a scary prof and spends random amounts of time talking about: ellipses, how zero looks like theta, phi, null, and o. I was not amused.
- all we covered was inequalities and exponents. I wrote in my notes: a < b - a is to the left of b on the number line. cry.
- we randomly get a 20 minute break...
- i have to go to the MATH ACTIVITES CENTER for 16 HOURS to do "homework"

Basically, being back at solano makes me appreciate going to a real university. Honestly, I just dont see how these creidts compare to any sort of credits people get at UCs or other universities/colleges these people transfer to. I will thank solano for giving me random amounts of credits that transfered to pacific so I didn't have to waste time and got priority reg. and housing woot.
6 more weeks.... i am DEFINETELY sitting in the back tomorrow.

ps. fantastic four is gay. the ghetto audience of stockton however, is quality entertainment. why must they make so many sequels of things!
pps. I saw the MR. at office max. im pretty sure. I ran away and hid in an aisle and spied. HAHA oh chuck. he built a house out of sticks and arrested tupac.
ppps. female richard and "ho/slut in the training licking her churro" was quality entertainment. who knew tapex could be so amusing. more on this later...

Gunther new video - SUNTRIP

BAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Ice Cream for Lunch!

Miche and I felt like being fat and had ice cream for lunch at FENTON's CREAMery in vacaville. it has a fun cow. and it was randomly busy. We got some banana split sundae and it was OBSCENELY large. Here is the progression of our meal. massive!




"i have a headache"
I'm going to cry eating this.


FINALLY.
We got many stares and we decided it was because we weren't large. we can't come back here for another 5 years. we both had major sugar highs.... and then lows. "i fell asleep sitting up!"
But it was really hot today and it is still 96 degrees at 744. I don't approve.
That is all.

Back in the 707

So, i'm finally back from LA today. I guess it didn't feel THAT long but it was really annoying because I had to clean, move, and unpack. and i was sick for part of it. When I left here it was only like 80's ... now its like high 90's. BITCH weather. it is SO HOT esp bec. my parent don't believe in air con and my car doesn't have it anymore. Except I think we are goign to PUMP FREON into it tomake it work. I randomly went to a "junkyard" - which is really just a used car parts store to buy new things for my car that BROKE. (me: "i wish i had a cupholder" amy:"when thats what you wish for in your car, that is really sad. seriously) Anyways, bitch car. I am ALSO VERY irritated bec. I bought this ipod dock and it didn't have my nano second gen slot for it so I could order it for free form belkin. TOO BAD the two times i requested it (AND I SWEAR I CLICKED THE RIGHT ONE) they sent me something totally RANDOM. Like today i get back and i get TWO inserts for the 30 and 60gb video. WTF? So i give up. I hate belkin and my ihome too. HAHA

So, now that i'm finally home - school starts on monday, DAT classes starts thursday (UGHHH) and inbetween that time I want to go to stockton , go to the ice cream place with the cow, and I have to go to oakland to get HERBAL MEDICINE. i do NOT like that.
But at least while i was away I got to try pinkberry ... and kiwiberry = ) Why is stupid norcal so slow.

WHY IS MY INTERNET SO STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today Should Have Been my Birthday

It really should have been. hahaha
Going to LA tomorrow! yAY . finally out of fairfield for a little.
When i get back only about a week left before classes and shit starts = (

"Uh... You're not 21"

Yesterday was interesting...
First, went to mt. view, bought an awesome picture snowglobe for betty's birthday (ALL HAIL CHAIRMAN WANG). Went to the stupid mall and then got verde with nikki! mmmm shaved ice and mango. = )
Then we were off to SF in amy's aunts niiiice mercedes. Went to dinner at villa romana on irving for betty's b-day. It was good, except the aggressive waitress and the VERY cozy situation ; ). I like how we saw vicky on the street on the way there and we were all like "hey... we know her..." and then we kept driving. TOO BAD she took the muni the wrong way and had problems and was super late.
Went to mel's sister's apt, which by the way is SUPER NICE. = ) watched imai get her hair straightened like a little bitch! and prepartied - "here, finish this..."
UMM then we went to this club space 550 - we were all very scared the underage bitches wouldn't be able to get in because of some complicated situation. We waited for like an hour, all the while I was in a drunken stupor. Thanks to "mikey" we finally got in. HOWEVER, first, we thought we could go in with the 21 over kids but I was the first one to go and the bouncer guy looks at my ID and is like "UMM, you're not 21..." so then i had to go back, walk of shame, and i was scared he would eat me. Basically I had to be patted down twice. I didnt' appreciate. And one of the "patter down" people was a lesbian for the women - doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose? hahahaha. finally we get in some how.. i don't really know. I think i drank some of everyone's drinks and um. yeah. that was special. but uh, luckily no hangover. = )
Made it back safely! thanks for driving amyyyyyy.
Now... back to fairfield. -________-

Step 1 - DONE!

Submitted my dental school app today = )
To Do still:
- wait for AADSAS to process all that shit
- Send in supplemental fees
- Do all the crappy supplemental apps > (
- Take the DAT - kind of a big one = (
- Make sure all my bitches wrote my letters
FUN.

Fun weekend in sj/sf planned! yay.

UMm

Applying to dental school gives me anxiety. I feel like i have this need to get into some other school other than Pacific just so that I can prove to myself that I am able to get in somewhere for real without the program. is that weird? probably.
the best episode of How i met you mother is the episode where they discover robin was a popstar in canada. it is awesome. "LETS GO TO THE MALL!!! TODAY!" They seem to bash on canadians a lot and from learning their "history" in high school I don't blame the writers = )
k, bye
