WHAT A TERRIBLE DAY because i'm sick, i decided to only go to my important classes today: my first class (10:10-12:20) and my last class (6-6:55).

in my first class, we had a period of time where we were to read essays to ourselves...silently. it was then where my body decided to take revenge on me. suddenly, i started coughing uncontrollably. it wasn't one of those "baby coughs"...it was one of those man-ly, phlegmy coughs. i drank water...but it didn't do much. i popped some cough drops in my mouth and it only soothed it for a couple of seconds.

this lasted for about...ehh..10 mins...but it felt like an hour.

soo i went home after that...and my coughing got to the point where i was feeling nauseous i started throwing up water. ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! yuck.

my last class was at 6...so i decided to go back. there again, i started coughing. thank god that class only lasted for 45 mins.

my trashcan is overflowing. damn tissues.

ps. i miss my jonathan.

    FIRST OF MY COLLEGE so today was my first day. i won't bore anyone with all the little details. but here are some:

    -went to school around 8:45am. hit a LOT of TRAFFIC. damn 280.
    -found parking like that...all the way in the back of the parking lot with reasonable length walk
    -1st class with DIO...writing
    -2nd class astronomy...2 hour and 10 mins class that finished in 30 mins
    -LJ was at de anza with friend john..chilled with them for an hour or more
    -3rd class into to busines...came kinda late...don't like the atmosphere...2 hour and 10 min class that finished in 25 mins-went to target..reparked car closer to class
    -4th..writing lab. LOVE THE CLASS..separated into 9 rooms with 8 people and a teacher...favorite class...too bad it's only once a week and for 55 mins. boo! teacher looks like he's 50; missing a tooth, but has a "surfer dude" accent. YEAH!!!

    soo i had a LOT of break time..and i was soo pooped.

    from 10:10am-7pm, i was at school. ahh. thursday i get out at 5:55. yay.

    right after school i headed to cotillion practice at justine's house. got home around 10pm. ahhhhhhh!! i don't like this.

    i'm soooooooo tireeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddddddd!!!!!


    10:51 PM . 


    MY FINAL DAY so today, or i should say yesterday, was my final day of freedom. i have school tomorrow. hopefully i can get a job to help out my mom.

    everyone at my mom's work got cut hours. my mom works about 4/5 days a week (6 if she's lucky)...opposed to working abut 2 weeks straight. my mom's car isn't good..she doesn't want to drive it. i've been driving and picking her up from work for the past...ehh..2 weeks. sooo many bills...not enough income..i want to help her sooo bad.

    i want to work FULL time and go to school PART time. the primary reason is so i can pay for at least some of my bills (car, braces, etc)..but i didn't tell her my reason. my mom said no. she wants me to go to school full time.

    right now, transferring in 2 years isn't even my top priority. my mom's been working her ASS off for me and my dad. and i want to give back to her.

    it hurts me so much to see her cry...

    SO... yesterday night, i was graced with the presence of LJ. he said he was in the area, and asked he and his cousin could stop by. when he came, we chilled outside...and he couldn't stop talking about this girl. my goshhhhhhh. every minute or so, her name would pop up. haha. i'm happy for him.

    then he offered to come to school early on thursdays to keep me company during one of my long breaks. ahh, what a friend. =] LJ is koooooool.

    TODAY, is a rare day for me and my boyfriend. we finally get to spend time together, just the two of us that is. I PRACTICALLY SPENT THE WHOLE DAY WITH JD. THE BEST PART: WE DIDN'T SPEND A DIME. He came over around 2ish. From then on, we just chilled in my room, watching tv and talking. We barely get to spend time together- just the two of us, that is. With that in mind, today was great. i love his presence, even though he can make me cry at times. He ate a whole lot of my mom's "homemade salsa" and he's farting like crazy. we had a big fight last night...and now we're ok.

    we watched "MISS AMERICA" together. the only girl that caught our eye was MISS HAWAII. oh my gosh....she was sooooo stunning and beautiful. and what a singer!! ahhh! that smile, that beautiful face, that body. man. she should have won!! so you see, i'm one of the bitter viewers that feel that the judges made a big mistake. at least she got 1st runner up. that's still good for her.

    as you can see, we took webcam pictures. haha, this is a first. we barellllllllly take webcam pics...with an exception of the pics of me, rach, and jd. bu yeah, off i go!!! WORLD PASTRY CONTEST is on FOOd NETWORK RIGHT NOW!!! AHHH!!!!! DESSERTS!!!!!

    me and justine went to deanza to pay off fees, buy books, and get our id card. *sigh* 300 bucks. hey, it's not that bad. justine couldn't pay off her stuff. she has to go back there again tomorrow because of her scholarship money. bummer.

    i'm done with all my deanza stuff. now, school on tuesday. ahhhhhh. school. hey, at least i'm going to school only twice a week.

    BOREDOM now that some people started school..i find myself at home more (although it's still summer vacation for me). but my dad is happy...cause he doesn't have to deal with me coming 2 hours later than what i told him earlier.

    oh yeah, lately i've been watching the FOOD NETWORK more often. i've noticed i've put on a few pounds. *sigh* it comes with the passsion.

    justine's starting cotillion practice tomorrow. i haven't seen most of my ohan since AUGUST 22 (crystal's cotillion) AHHHHHHHH! that's wayyyyyyyyyy to long compared to how often i've seen them over the summer. i miss my buddies.
