D'aww puppy is just TOO cute!!! I came out of the bathroom after I showered and he was in my housemate's bedroom. I went downstairs and he followed me and jumped up onto the couch to attack my freshly showered self and newly laundered PJs. Well, now he's sleeping on the couch next to me and I really should go back upstairs to make my bed since I just washed my sheets, but I don't wanna wake him up lol argh. Doggies really do make one happy after a not so great day. Speaking of which, today was a not-so-great- sort of day. My teacher won't allow me to turn in one of my play critiques late, even though the play that we were supposed to critique is still playing this weekend but she wants it on Thursday! And the play is ONLY on the weekends and I could not make it to any of the showings the past 2 weeks. Rawr. There aren't any decently timed shifts for work next quarter so I think I'm going to be unemployed soon. I'm still sick...I didn't eat anything from 10 to 5 which is torture for me lol so I ended up bingeing. Although my day wasn't so great, I don't have any hw or quizzes for tomorrow so I've been relaxing all this time haha and playing with the puppy<3 Okay puppy is awake...now I can retreat upstairs!

The long weekend is finally over *sigh* and why is it already past 1:30 AM? x_x perhaps I won't go to class tomorrow morning lol because I need to study kanji finish writing a sakubun and finish another script for playwriting. I didn't do anything productive this weekend because of Thanksgiving and it was my mother's birthday today. My family and I went to Sonoma and stayed there for a night. Ate a really good dinner and uh that's about it lol. I definitely need to go on a diet for the next 3 weeks. Too much food and pies and cakes and stuff. I tried the complimentary bottle of wine that was in our hotel room and it was disgusting :p Oh and I got a little cold or something. I only have dry/sore-ish throat though so it's ok.

Two more week of torture and then I'm free! Luckily my roommate brought her puppy to live with us for the time being. He is SOO cute. Just really friendly and adorable. I took a few pictures of him HAHA. So here, look at this cuteness.
( look at the cute puppy!!!<3 )

ROLF I love Arashi!!! *is high* Well lately I've been having a crush on Sho because I had a dream about Arashi the other night. The dream was weird...Arashi was holding a concert at this big pool, kinda like those things at Sea World or whatever where they dolphins put on a show, but it was smaller. And they were on roller skates like Kisumai haha. It was the end of the concert, or they were practicing or something so no one else was around. I went down the stairs and got really close to the pool and Ohno came towards me while he was practicing roller skating and so I waved to him and he looked at me and waved back :) And then Sho came over and I waved and he looked up and smiled *melts* and then I fell into the pool somehow and Matsujun helped me up out of the pool :DDD heheh so why do I have a crush on Sho when all he did was smile in the dream? Who knows LOL. Ok enough of that, so I decided to watch the latest Shukudai-kun just now because I heard it was funny although I didn't know why. Yeah I watched it and it was hilarious!! They have GOT to do this segment again. Especially the gaijin part LOL loved their accents and SHO SPEAKING ENGLISH sorta. hahahaha oh man. Gotta love those boys.

*Ahem* Anyway, my classes tomorrow are cancelled so my weekend has begun! Very excited for Thanksgiving and seeing the family. And then Black Friday! I've never done it before, but my friends want me to come shopping with them. I have a little dilemma though. My college friends, who I'm not super duper close with, are going to be shopping VERY close to my home (like 5 minutes away) and invited me to come along with. But my very good high school friend asked me if I want to go to the mall at 12 midnight to go shopping at the outlets which are like an hour and a half away from my house. I think her bf is going too so I don't wanna be the third wheel HAHA. Well either way if I go, hopefully I won't get trampled.

Oral test for Japanese tomorrow x_x I hate those!! At least we have partners this time so I won't be as nervous but I'm still really bad at speaking. And remembering random vocab that we learned in the past chapter such as hyouryuusha (meaning a person who drifted ashore or something like that...when am I ever going to use that word in a daily conversation?! o.o) and keigo!!! I know we're gonna have to do some type of job interview thing and I suck at honorifics. *shrugs* I will wake up early, not go to class and study instead. And thenn I have to write another script for Playwriting due Thursday. She gave us another difficult topic. We have to make up some type of ritual. And then I must meet up with my partner to work on our Japanese presentation rough draft which is due on Friday.

So for the past 5 hours I've been in bed HAHA it's cold. And I had to work an extra hour and a half today so when I came home I went straight to the shower and then bed! I took a nap at like 7 haha I was kinda dead. Mmhmm...uh I'm kinda getting worried about my FC applications. Why are they taking so longggg :(

Yayyyy I finished my paper last night at 12:30 am!! So happy...considering that fact that I stayed up until like 5 last time to finish my first paper haha. I was worried cause I went home for the weekend and didn't start until Sunday night. I also had my Japanese unit test today which went well!! :D The past week has been really busy but I got everything done and I didn't die. Now I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving and then the school quarter will be over really soon!! Excited!!! Ahhh. Ok *ahem* tonight is the meteor shower! I'm not sure if I really wanna go since I'm kinda sleepy and it's really cold outside haha but a bunch of people are going and they're trying to convince me to go...I mean it comes around every year right? And supposedly only a few will be visible every hour. But then again it's my last year here at my uni...*sigh* What to do?? Mah, I just cleaned my room and now it's so beautiful that I don't wanna leave lol! *continues dusting*

edit at 2:40 AM: Failure. Ended up going. But it really wasn't a failure lol I had fun. We only stayed out for about an hour but I saw between 5-10 shooting stars yay! Looks like I'll not be going to class tomorrow morning hehe.

Japantown outing today with the housemates!! We took so many purikura lol and ate and walked around, showing our one out-of-state housemate around since she's never been there before. Lots of fun! I bought Anan!!! *spazzing over 1 page* lol So right after that my parents met me up and we went to go have dinner for my Grandma's 95th birthday. Yay Chinese food. After dinner my cousin and I went next door cause he wanted a freaking crepe even though we just had a huge dinner AND cake lol. I found out that he actually likes an Arashi song O.O Last year he was like "Why do you like Asian boy bands??" And now he's all trying to get into Asian music so he asked me what Japanese music I listen to, so I asked him if he knew who Arashi is. He said he liked one song of theirs but couldn't remember the name but he was like..."It has an orchestra in the background." and immediately I was like, "Is it Truth?" And yes it was LOL. And then he asked if they were gay. Stupid cousin. Ah I am tired now. been up since 8 AM and it's 2:30 AM. Just finished watching the first ep of Liar Game 2. *bitter over the recapping of season 1* lol Gonna sleep now!

So instead of going to class I went to the mall! I exchanged my foundation for the uh 4th time. They FINALLY had the right color I was looking for and I was so happy cause I got a 20% off coupon thing. While we were in Abercrombie my roommate tried on this t-shirt with a necktie printed on it but it wasn't really her style so I was like I'll try it on! My housemates convinced me to get it cause it was "so me" and I somehow made it look Japanese LOL. Anyway, it's cute and it was on sale! After shopping I had to go straight to my Japanese class and was right on time! We had a quiz that was easier than I expected. But during the quiz I had to go pee REALLY bad and we hadn't even done the listening part of the test yet. The TA announced that she'd start the listening part in 5 minutes and I was already dying haha. When that was finished I like ran to the bathroom haha. Today's supposed to be an unlucky day, right (Friday the 13th)? But I actually had a good day! I got my make up, found a cute shirt, did fine on the quiz and didn't pee in my pants! I was also supposed to go home tonight, but my housemates all wanted to go into the city tomorrow anyway so after we all take purikura and hang out in Japantown, my parents will just pick me up from there. My mom sounded so happy that they didn't have to drive 2 hours to pick me up here haha. And staying here at school means that I can read tonight!! No distractions from my sister haha yay. Okay so I need to go shopping again HAHA I still need black boots. And I also want a navy blue cardigan. More jackets, a new bag...*sigh* I need more!!!

Yay I turned in my application! So when I went to the office, I put my papers on the counter and accidentally knocked over a sign, which then knocked over the bell/ringer thing on the desk which all came tumbling down to the floor x_x oops lol soo I'm going to put off reading until tonight. I have to leave in half an hour anyway to go to work. But first I must eat and watch some TV :) I'm feeling a lot better now that my application is out of the way.

Well, the past 2 days I finished most of what I planned on doing. Yesterday I went to a bar for the first time :o didn't drink though. We just played darts and I suck at it haha. It's fun though. Today was hw day, sort of. I got my script done and all I need for my study abroad application is 3 photocopies of my passport which I will receive tomorrow morning (via email thanks to my mom) and will print out and then will submit! Thank God my housemates have a scanner and paper clips haha those saved me. I'm glad I'll be done with that...oh yea but I still need for the 2 classes that I'm gonna take there to be approved to count toward my major. And I have that 5 page econ paper due on Monday...I guess I'm gonna have to work on it at home over the weekend after all! I just can't wait till Thanksgiving...then Winter break will be upon us soon!!! :D

Oh yea, yesterday my housemates and I went out and bought Christmasy decorations for our house. My roommate and I covered our door with pretty silver wrapping paper with blue snowflakes and it says "Let it Snow" like a million times on it haha. We also put 4 red Christmas bows on our stair banner, one to represent each of us. My other housemate cut out "Happy Holidays" using green wrapping paper with candy canes on it. And well...that's pretty much it for our decorations so far lol! Today was my housemate's birthday and we went out for dinner...I ate even though I was full from eating a huge lunch like 3 hours before haha. A few friends also came over with a strawberry tart so I'm so full now x_x but it was enjoyable still. GAH I've been kinda stressed this week so I'm breaking out. Big pimple on chin now! The one on my nose disappeared in 2 days though, so yay. Tomorrow...running around campus...work...watching play...hw....x_x Die pimples dieee.

Wednesday is my housemate's birthday. Last week was 2 of my friends' birthdays. Oh and this weekend is also my other friend's birthday....seriously most of my friends or people that I know are born at around this time lol! Scorpios love me :3 I happen to be my grandma's favorite in the family. My mom's friend who is also a Scorpio does not get along with my sister at all but she likes me and says that I'm a good girl hahaha. My past roommate and my current have Scorpio moons too. ANYWAY...just an observation haha.

My roommate showed me Koe wo Kikasete by Big Bang. I LOVE IT! I keep on replaying My Girl, Tokei Jikake no Umbrella, Super Fresh and Koe wo Kikasete lol. When I first heard Tokei...I thought it sounded ugly haha but then I actually listened to the chorus and it's sooo catchy. Jeebus I am in love with these 4 songs right now. I have to go to bed soon since tomorrow will be a long day :( Ganbarimasu. Oh wait, let me end this blog entry on a good note! I got cheesecake today. Um...that's it lol.

Or thank you to whoever decides what is performed on Shokura!! TSong1~Can Try~ is the most AMAZING thing I've ever seen. I almost cried. Actually, I did want to but my housemates were around and I didn't want them to see me cry. The dancing...the EVERYTHING. I love<3 T_T The close up of Taisuke's butt during Hair totally ruined the moment though HAHA I couldn't help but lol :x

edit: Note to self....DON'T CRYYYYYY!!! *holds back tears*
Oh and I absolutely LOVE all 3 songs on Arashi's new single too :D

Why oh why. I have a pimple on my nose. A LARGE one and it hurtsss! See, karma is real. I laugh at Tama's pimple during Msute and I get one in return LOL. Dang I just looked in the mirror and it is HUGE!!! *cries* Ok change of subject. Today I didn't study for my kanji quiz so I had to cheat :( I've been really sleepy in class recently cause of daylight savings. I automatically wake up an hour early and can't go back to sleep rawr. So now I'm at home and it's cold and I hopefully I can get lotsss of sleep tonight! I'm watching last week's Shokura right now. I LOOOVE Tama's grey and black outfit with the vest :E Have I said that? Oh well, tamaranai!! Grey is like my favorite color for clothes. Oh and speaking of Tama...in Anan he said that he loves shopping but his mom gets mad at him for wasting money. But recently he bought his parents clothes as present lol. See this is why I like Japanese guys. THEY LIKE SHOPPING. Unlike American guys who absolutely dread it. I seriously don't know ANY guy that actually enjoys shopping for clothes. :/ Anyway...CHINENN! *sees him on my TV* He's so cute :)

Holy alsfjlsjdk. Even though the preview pics on yahoo auctions are kinda small the photoshoot looks GOOD! Tama is wearing a hat *amused* and there's also a shot of him with his mouth wide open, laughing lol. Straight hair. Looking hawt. *thumbs up* Oh yeah and Senga is featured in Anan too! I'm going home this weekend so hopefully Kinokuniya will get a copy of it through air mail. ANDD I absolutely can't wait until this Sunday's Shokura. Can't wait til this weekend!!

Now about RL. Boba milk tea is love. I need to start thinking of a topic  to discuss in front of my class for my Japanese group project. It can be about anything. And my friend is letting me choose the topic cause he really doesn't care LOL. *tries to incorporate Johnny's in some way* I have to wake up early tomorrow for a meeting with my college advisor. I'm planning on only taking 2 classes for the next 2 quarters :D and then she needs to sign some papers for my studying abroad application. Now I need to wash dishes and then sleep x_x

I'm so sleepy~ yet hungry. So that lobster that I had...I made pasta outta it. Since it came drenched in garlic butter sauce I just shredded the meat and poured the sauce over spaghetti noodles. I really wanna eat some right now :/ Actually I think I will lol.

Oh I got my midterm back. 85!! :D The professor said that an 85-95 is roughly an A. Happiness! *outta nowhere* GYA my friend just emailed me that the Arashi FC members will get their autographed present today!!! Or so she heard lol but anyway...OH I stayed up watching the most recent Himitsu no Arashi-chan and OMGGG what lucky people that went to that karaoke place!!! I was like dying inside thinking about what if that happened to me. Okay back to RL...something very awkward happened. As I got off of the bus on my way home I hear someone call my name. I turn around and it's this guy that went to the same high school as me. In fact we were in the same homeroom for 4 years and sat at the same table lol so I was like...O.O cause I've never seen him around here until now. So he tells me that he just transfered....and started small talk as I was waiting at the curb for the streetlight to change cause my house was RIGHT across the street and I could've just jaywalked cause there were no cars at all but he just kept on asking questions like who I still talk to from high school and blah blah blah....it was just really awkward....standing there on the sidewalk like randomly. ANYWAY I think I need to go to sleep now. I don't wanna go to class tomorrow :(

My eating habits are really weird now. And I'm wasting so much money on random stuff. Breakfast was Boba Milk Tea. Then for lunch I ordered a whole lobster for myself LOL which was expensive!! I didn't realize it would cost me so much haha but it was yummeh. I only ate the tail and 1 claw so far though. I bought a penguin stuffed animal. What's weird though was that we found him on a random shelf and I just decided to hold him until we found where the rest of the penguins were so I could choose a prettier looking one. We walked all around the store and couldn't find them so we asked one of the workers where they were. She said they haven't even been taken out yet and they're still in the back in boxes. My housemates believe that he's alive and escaped into the store lol so I just ended up buying him<3  And then I went to the mall again to exchange my foundation and concealer which turned out to be too dark for me. By now I should know that I'm always the lightest or second to lightest shade in face makeup but I try to believe that I'm not that pale :( ...Instead of reading and memorizing my dialogue for Japanese I watched Arashi in 3D. I didn't think we had 3D glasses in this house but I randomly asked my housemate and we actually have a DVD that comes with 3D glasses so that was SO COOL. They should've made it last longer though :( or they should do it again sometime...SOON. *ahem* Anyway, oh yea also watched Shokura. Tama fell on his butt :( but recovered really nicely!! :D And well....I see that he never studied much...like me LOL. I think I have senioritis.

See it's only 12:30 (when I started writing this entry haha) and I'm at home already lol. I went to a party for like...2 hours and then left. This guy whom I don't really like was Hard Gay. And I wasn't really surprised lol. I had the least sexy costume outta all the girls of course, except one of my friends who didn't even have a costume...we were abiut the same haha. There were lots of random people that I didn't know and therefore I just decided to leave with my housemate who is sick :( Well, earlier today I had a video chat with my friend. We tried to do it last week but for some reason it wouldn't work D: I should've just gone home and celebrated Halloween with her and my other high school friends. SIGH. Well, I try to be friendly to everyone at my university but they're just not the same as my high school friends lol you know? Anyway, I ate candy all day, watched TV and stared at my laptop. Speaking of my laptop, my housemate looked at my desktop background and pointed and said..."He HELLA looks like you...even the hair color is the same!" ...lol my hair is not that light though!! o.O My hair is just brown and he has blonde streaks yo. Anyway, hmm I'm hungry. I ate a banana, neapolitan, candy, yogurt, candy, a TINY bit of soup just to taste my roommate's cooking lol, candy, a piece of bread with cheese, and candy lol. Yup, I will attempt to eat normally tomorrow.

 *drumroll* I'm going to be...a PUMPKIN~ woot! That's right. My housemate bought a headband with a pumpkin on it but she decided not to wear it so she's letting me have it! And I bought an orange T-shirt today for like $4 lol. I've always wanted to be something cheesy like that. I was going to be a ghost by just putting a sheet over me, but then no one would even know who I am lol. Also, yesterday I bought 2 bags of candy. For myself. *sneaks into the pantry for the 8th piece today* Ah and I can't wait to try my new mineral foundation. I am way too addicted to make up...now I have all 3 types of foundation. Cream, liquid and powder LOL how sad. And very expensive. But ah yes, life is good. (except for the cramps)

Yes I should be in class right now but I'm just relaxing at home~ although I have to leave for work in less than an hour. Anyway, so Tama-chan is going to appear in AnAn again on 11/4! *applause* ...Okay I'm going to eat lunch now lol

Bad habit, I know but I am using this an excuse to release whatever I have to say so that I can sleep well tonight lol. So the jacket that I bought, my housemate and I bought the exact same one. Until we brought them out in better lighting and realized they were different colors!! *shock* We thought that they were both olive green, but her's was actually grey lol! So I looked at it and said...hey I like your's better. And of course it turns out that she liked mine better. So today after I got off of work and she got off of class, we went to the mall to exchange them. I am very very happy with my purchase now :) Also since I already have a green jacket, I really wanted the grey one instead. It's got faux fur lining on the inside and also a faux fur collar <3 it's soo warm (and pretty) I can't wait for winter! Oh and now I REALLY need black boots.

And there was a happening yesterday. My housemate fused out our lights upstairs so we didn't have any electricity in our rooms OR in our bathroom! I had no choice but to take a shower in the dark lol Well, I had to leave the door open with the hallway light on, which was the only lights that worked upstairs. But we got that fixed a few hours ago so everything's fine! Although I took a shower like right before the sun set today just in case we didn't get that fixed lol. So I began studying today at around....7 PM lol *fail* But I'm not stressing out too much cause I did start studying yesterday and the professor is super straight forward. Around 16 multiple choice coming from the summaries at the end of each chapter, meaning about 2 questions per chapter. Then 5 or 6 short answer questions which are included in the study review sheet she gave us. She even went over 5 of the questions in class, most likely hinting that those ones are going to be on the exam lol. On Monday she also told us that she hadn't even made up the exam yet so that just shows that she's a bit...lazy. As many people who have taken her class have said in the past lol. Mmhmm I will be going to bed in about an hour now. Pllllease let the exam be easy AND LET ME ACTUALLY REMEMBER WHAT I'M READING (cause I never really can grasp what the book is actually saying lol) I wanna go to bed now -.-

edit: Oh and also, karma. While I was sneaking out of class right after signing in, I got out the doors, grabbed my iPod and started unravelling my earphones. But then I noticed that one of the little rubber thingies that help keep the earbud in your ear, fell off. Probably when I first got into class and shoved my iPod into my bag, it fell on the floor. I walked back to the door searching the ground hoping that it had fallen off outside...and I was debating whether I should go back in lol but I didn't wanna be seen going in and out so I just left. Now I'm stuck with my old, sucky American earphones. The bass is terrible D: Good thing I have another set of those rubber thingies at home. But I still have to use my old ones for the time being...

Econ why must you be so evil to me. Or rather, why must I despise you so much lol. I got a freaking 70 on my paper (well, I only started it the night before lol) so as of now I am not passing the class due to my lack of participation points as well. This Wednesday is the midterm which, of course, I'm not looking forward to. She gives us 20 sample short answer questions but then she's only going to put 5 or 6 of them on the actual exam. WHY so many sample questions x_x My hand hurts! And I'm only on #12. Plus I haven't read yet...ahem so as usual I am screwed. This results in an explosion on my face (exaggerating) and a couple of pimples have emerged. I also predict that within 2 weeks my monthly visitor will be coming. OH and Halloween is this weekend and of course there will be parties. Not quite as excited as most people lol but I still can't wait for this week to be over.
