| Berkeley is the same as always. I think i missed the refreshing atmosphere of the bay area. The apartment is still messy, but i think this time it got dirtier..lol One of these days when my sister is gone, i think i will just clean everything..
I hung out with almost everyone during the past couple of days. It was weird to be back. Yesterday, i subbed for Eugene at the pool and got yelled at by Shirley. That lady will never change...ahahaha but i was kind of happy to be back at the pool. It was good to see everyone + the kids who never surpassed level 3. ahahah cuties. I often found myself grinning whenever the kids misbehaved and annoyed the other teachers. Kids are funny. e.g. I remember last year there was this silly level 2 kid and he would blurt out some lame jokes to piss me off. But this one time i actually laughed when i told all the kids to use their right arms to breathe and he said, "what about my wrong arm?" Hahaha THESE KIDS!
Being back up here kind of calmed me down. I sort of feel like i'm returning to my old self. Perhaps the lack of Koreans? ahaha just kidding.
P.S. i love old checks. they are like free money! | | |

-i watched a lot of movies
-i finally read J.M. Barrie's "Peter & Wendy"
-i took the driving permit test (and failed)
-i worked out a lot
-i watched almost all the seasons of "Friends"
-i drank a lot of margaritas (i blame my roommates)
-i learned how to play poker and black jack (and hwatu)
-i earned my A's
-can't remember what else...
actually, a lot more things happened this summer. they were both good and bad..
today Patty is back from missions! i can't believe a month already flew by. summer is slipping away. i wonder how my future roommate is going to be like. i wonder if i'm gonna survive next year. things are going to get busy!

| A little update:
Last Tuesday, we were driving up Storke to go to the movies and saw that there was a fire on the mountains. For the rest of the week the flames became bigger and bigger and started spreading quickly. It was an interesting week. The power went out at least once a day and we would play in the dark, jamming and eating and what not...it was so ashy outside at one point that i couldnt really open my eyes. And i think it was my first time not doing anything on 4th of July..every year I would be selling snow cones and cotton candy for YDC at the 4th of July festival in memorial park. And then at night I would go somewhere either to hang out or watch the fireworks. Good times.. haha. This year i spent the holiday watching numerous..numerous movies (too many)...and observing the fire. I wasn't sure if i should feel scared about the fire or admire it. I've never seen anything like that before..i wish i had taken pictures. The sky was divided into orange and black..it was funny how whenever the power went out we could hear everyone in isla vista yelling and complaining, then when the power came back on they would all cheer out loud,, then the power would go out again and we would be like..what the heck. But it made me realize how much we all depend on electricity on a daily basis..a little too much i think. Well since i have no internet at my place, i haven't really gone online or used the internet for unnecessary things like facebook haha. But it has benefited me because i found the time to update my journal, read, and paint. I guess i should go back to not going on line for a while like i did my senior year. .i should spend my time doing more productive things..
I hope the fire will die out soon. Besides that, summer is pretty good. haha
p.s. I am now double majoring! and now im gonna be graduating with too many units...:( stupid laney classes. haha. and stupid chemistry. ..
p.p.s. Looks like im getting a random roommate for the dorms this coming fall...:(
p.p.p.s. On a brighter note, i got an A on my midterm. hehehe

| The end of the school year.
i watched the seniors graduate. it was my first time going to a college graduation and it was a very different experience. but it still gave me that familiar feeling where i felt excited, happy, and sad all at the same time. watching the seniors walk away with their families left me with a half smile. the rest of us (non-graduates) went to chillis. hahaha
well this weekend i didnt really enjoy asking people if i could crash at their places. it made me realize that im really on my own out here. funny how i realize this now when my first year of college is already over haha. felt like such a bum carrying clothes and stuff, thinking where i should go. but im really grateful that the upperclassmen invited me to stay at their places and hung out with me a lot. i decided to stay at jen's place until i move into carriage house next thursday. her housemate has very interesting friends...at the moment i am alone in the apartment with two random guys who smell like weed..haha i should get out of here soon.
i was also looking at some of the graduation pictures from AHS. kinda wish i had made it somehow. i feel the same way about my sister's graduation. kinda wish i had made it somehow. hahaha but there was just no way...stupid chem midterm and final. stupid chemistry! didnt even have to take the course all year...ended up wasting 300$ for the books and 3 chances to take GE's. AND it overlapped with those graduations. haha im so bitter. but im sooo happy that its all over. next year is going to be so different!
overall: this year was crazy. too many things happened and it was only my first year. hopefully ill have the summer to relax and re-charge for the fall. cant wait to start on the project with scho : ) and yess i will miss the seniors a lot... : ( farewell and good luck!
this weekend i am tagging along with jen & daniel to go to CERRITOS! theyre like my mommy and daddy. HAHA i hope they dont read this. i cant wait for sb summer to begin!
