I MISSED THE INTERNET
well, the last time i was online was my last post, at jennelle's house.

after practice, i picked up jd from work and we went to HOME DEPOT to get my painting supplies. thank hun.

after, we went to GREAT MALL, since it was just a few feet away. we both were hungry, so we headed to the food court. there we saw melissa, kevin, and wendole.kinda surprised to see them since they live in hayward.

went to FOREVER 21 and BOUGHT clothes! haha. i barely go shopping(it's a choice), so this was a first leaving the mall with something besides a full stomach.

literally all day tuesday i spent taking everything out of my room(besides heavy furniture) and painted. jd got dropped off when i was 3/4th done with my room, and helped me finish.

after, we went to valley fair to see if he could upgrade his phone. he can't and has to wait till september. esh! they said he'll have 100 bucks worth, so at least he doesn't have to pay.

TODAY
today, i moved in all my furniture. i rearranged everything except my tv stand. i like it!! yeah!!!!

me and justine went to de anza to pay for classes/buy books. we saw DEO and THERESA! haha..so funny. last quarter, we saw them at the bookstore too. haha. after, we ate at CHIPOTLE. Mmm!

i missed american idol yesterday, but i'm glad camille was safe tonight.

bye whoever reads this.

SPRING BREAK 2004
so it's the first day of spring break, and i'm at stank's house. cotillion practice.

oh yeah. it's the 29th. happy anniversary jd. hhahah...1.8. not so shabby.

i decided to paint my room and rearrange my furniture. i wish i had a TWIN size bed. my FULL size takes up so much space in my room...potential space for EXERCISING. oh well, hopefully my rearranging will maximize my exercise space.

after practice, me and jd are gonna go to HOME DEPOT to look for stuff i need to paint my room. spackle, putty knife, tape, paint, etc.

rachel says hi. =]

my boyfriend's birthday is on friday..and i don't know what i'm gonna get him....ahhhhh.

I'M SCARED
i got my last final at 11:30am: HUMANITIES: Arts, Ideas, and Values. i've been doing good in that class. i got perfect scores on everything i've turned it, since the teacher is a lenient grader.

anyways, on the class website, she posted topics for the short essays. i think i'm gonna bomb this final. i'm trying hard now to cram in some reading time, since i fell asleep last night.

i have to do a lot of bull-shitting in those essays. fuckkkkkkkkkk

oh yeah. i'm sick. i think it's from monday. my mom caught the cold from me. esh!

finals week. pretty much chill. my last final is tomorrow, and i'm a bit etchy on that.

i've made my plans for spring break: EXERCISE, ORGANIZE MY CLOSET AND DRAWERS, AND CLEAN. =]

GRANT'S BDAY today's grant's bday...happy bday grant..even though i know you're not gonna see this.

as i was exiting from the highway and approaching a right turn, i see a group of people hundled together. a few adults, some kids that just came from school, and a police officer. i looked more..and saw that there were a pair of legs at the bottom of the huddle.

a man was lying on the street...not moving. i'm not sure if he was hit, or collasped, or what..i didn't see his face..but i'm assuming he was in his 50s.

after seeing that, i cried. i didn't know what happened to him, or what was going to happen. i prayed for him today..


ANYWAYSSSSS
, everyone went to grant's house for a little party. jennelle told me good news:
-she has a BF!! haha..she's back with BJ, a boyfriend she had like, 3 years ago..
-she got accepted into SDSU. i'm soo happy for her, but it's happening..she's leaving. =\ BUT I'M HAPPPPY FOR HER!

RIP TRUNG. so rachel told me today that someone from silver creek died. i asked who..and she replied with "trung tran".

i knew a trung that went to silver creek, and like she described, he's a senior. we were friends my junior year, so i knew him a bit, and talked to him. we aren't close now, but i'd like to consider us friends a few years ago...always talked online together...talked on the phone a few times..but never kicked it together. i'd call him "trungy" and he'd call me "kareny". it's wasn't anything romantic, don't get me wrong. he was just a cool guy..

i thought his last name was tran, but i wasn't sure. when i got home, i checked my yearbook. TRUNG TRAN..

it was a hit and run. he was walking last at night, a car hit him really hard, and he died.

i don't know how to feel. =\

AFTER CLASS... ...i walked to my car. As i was approaching it, i was shocked at how DIRTY it was. yea, i KNEW may car was dirty, but it didn't dawn on me till today.

so i decided, "YUP..this afternoon i'll wash my car."

i got out of class early, so i went straight home and rested...

it turned 5pm..the sun was going down..PERFECt time to wash the car..but LAZYYYY me said, "ehhhhh..i can always do it later"

i then realized..."shit..i'm going out tomorrow"...so i washed my car. it'll be kinda embarasing coming out of a FILTHY car.

so i washed my car and even vaccumed. i'm glad i did...i saw my icecream man friend and bought icecream from him...man..it amazes me how long we've known each other...

an 18 year old STILL buying icecream from an icecream man..haha..gotta love it.


6:43 PM . 



THURSDAY MORNING i woke up around my usual time..7am..even though i had no alarm clocks set. the sun was shining through my window...it looked so pretty. then i realized--damn, i have school today.

yesterday i had a date with my mom. haha. we went to watch the passion. yeah, we brought tissues, but i was the one that ended up using them. yep..that movie's VERYY powerful..at least to me.

the end of the quarter is here. i don't know what i'm taking next quarterrrr!!!!! ahhhh!!!!!!!!! so far, i have 1 class for sure..but all the others..I DON'T KNOW!!!

i'm SOOOO happy the weekend is here.

I'M DISTURBED for human sexuality, we were separated into groups where we were to do a paper/presentation on a topic. ours is sexual coercion.

each of us took a subtopic from that. i chose INCEST. our presentation/paper is due in a 2 weeks, so i decided to start on it.

right now, i'm researching for information. kinda hard since i can only use credible sites..

okok...i'll get to my point. while searching, i found basically INCEST PORN SITES. there are multiple sites..and oh boy, i'm very disturbed. i'll admit, i opened the link to see if it was real or not...and it was. at the top, i also saw a bunch of links to other sites.

DISTURBED...digusted...gosh, people are really gross. it's your FREAKIN FLESH AND BLOOD! AHholjbsdfojbsdljfbsdjb!!!!!!


6:30 PM . 



PREGNANCY in our human sex class, we've been going over pregnancy. we watched a video, and it showed 3 ways of giving birth. Surprisingly, the class was more grossed out about this video rather than the female genital mutilation with little girls screaming. Go figure.

As for me, I'm used to it. I like watching TLC (television learning channel) and watching those operations. So watching the woman giving birth was OK.

for the most part...I'M TERRIFIED of giving birth. the epidural (anesthesia where they give you a shot in your back, between the spinal bones...LONGG NEEDLE, and you CANNOT MOVE AT ALL), the cutting of the perrenium (so you won't tear..) sticking a tube up your urethra to empty your bladder...ALL THOSE SHOTS!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!

man...talk about PAIN!
