Massive Update #2

Wednesday 5/21/08: I had a massive midterm due that was very misleading at first. It was for my international studies course and it was two essay prompts that were only 3-4 pages each, but so full of content that it was hard to contain within 3-4 pages. o_O. It took me until 6AM. Definitely not enjoyable. Later that night, I went to GRaIN meeting which was great because I haven't been able to make them on Tuesdays. After THAT, I went to see Indiana Jones with Kat, Cassie, Linda, Charlene, Ronnie and Eric. I almost fell asleep during the previews because I was so tired. But I thought it was entertaining overall; I think they knew that they couldn't make Indiana Jones as good as the older ones and kind of made fun of itself. I thought it was well done!

Thursday 5/22/08: I don't remember...but I do remember that I spent all morning on the phone with my credit card company. I am officially a victim of identity theft! How??? =(

Friday 5/23/08: Work Lunch and Alpha Kappa Psi Formal Banquet
Today was really nice because my FA's took me and Jeff (the other intern) out for a lunch at Venice, this Italian restaurant downstairs of our building. It was kind of sad to leave but really nice to know how great my experience with them have been:

And the obligatory group photo at lunch.

AKPsi's banquet was tonight and I was kind of scrambling for a dress because I forgot there was a black/white theme but I ended up wearing this white dress I bought like...a year ago and just never wore because I look like...a fairy.
Some of my favorites, up above. =]

Saturday 5/24/08: Delta Sigma Pi's Formal Banquet (@ the San Diego Zoo!)
DSP's banquet was the next night...man, having fun get tiring, lol. Of course I ran into the lack-of-dress problem again and ended up borrowing Janice's dress. I liked the color soo much. It's cheesy, but I like wearing green with leafy earrings to the zoo *teehee*. ^_^v

Anyways, not to knock on AKPsi's banquet, but having it at the zoo was pretty awesome. We got to go around and look at all the animals for a couple hours before going to banquet (open bar, too).
We waited for a while for this guy! Some people at the front of the line spent like, 5 whole minutes taking a video of this dude just eating bamboo. We were like, DUDE, there's a line back here! Mannn...talk about impatience.

Our prom picture...I forgot to put my heels on for this, hah. I actually wore white heels that put like 3 foot pads in...EACH! They were pretty killer.

Mmm giiiirl(s)! Randi and Kristel. <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cosmicbuddha.com/kris/uploaded_images/n3302955_38329994_5098-749847.jpg">And of course, the roomie picture! Freakin' Irvin had to stand in the middle of course. I like how we're symmetrical though, haha. Not planned!

There was a certain drink that because of me, was the drink of the night! It was the bartender's favorite drink (I asked him what it was) and it was a ______________ Sour. I forget the first part of the name. =( But it was really good! Some kind of Italian Liquor. Let me know if anyone remembers.

Anyways, it was fun though me and Irvin called it an early night...still tired from the night before. I'm getting old, I can't stay up past 1AM these days!

Sunday 5/25/08: Day of Rest and library attempt
Yes, basically, we were going to be ambitious and do Sea World, but we were too tired. So we slept in and went to the library later in the afternoon/evening. I checked out 19 books for my research paper! T_T

Me and Irvin were so hungry after the library, but we wanted home cooked food. We made a run to 99 Ranch for the first time in..."forever" and ended up buying random mixes and foods. We went home and I made chicken-katsu! Mmm, I have to admit, it was really good. It was chicken-katsu, steamed okra, mabo tofu, and rice. Mom would have been proud! Kat, Pei, Connie and Bobby even came over to share. Food is always so much better with good company!

Monday 5/26/08: Sea World
Yay, so finally we went to Sea World today and spent a whopping 4 hours there. I was really excited to see the shows and ride the rides, but midway got really tired (again). I was pretty satisfied will seeing the main dophin show and Shamu show. They ARE pretty amazing animals!

As you can tell, Irvin is very excited to go to Seaworld as well. =]

Yay, real dolphins (as opposed to UTC dophins)!

Did I ever mention how I loved seeing flamingos when I was a kid? I don't know why, maybe I was just giddy at how pink they are. In reality, they kind of smell... =/

And the star of the show: Bubbles! They said that she was 37 years old! Crazy, huh?

*Note: I was also going to try and attend this party in LA at Houdini's Mansion, but it was too far and tiring to do so..."next time."

Tuesday 5/27/08: Baking and Cooking with Adam
After my long day, Adam came over and we baked two sets of cookies, a package of brownies and even made green curry for dinner! Very ambitous for me to cook...and twice within one week!

Here's Adam, the Muffin Man.

Green Curry, my favorite!

Thanks, BFF! And being the good associate I am, I went to GBM and brought some curry and cookies there. ::pat on the back::

Wednesday 5/28/08: Sunbathing Wednesdays!
Again, Wednesdays are fun because of my girls. We just hung around and chatted with random people, AKPsi people, etc. Laying on the lawn was sooo relaxing...wish I didn't have to go to class.


INTL 190 was actually kind of exciting today because a woman who's been living in Burma came to speak to our class. She showed some really tragic photos of what's going on over there, like decaying bodies that have been left out for weeks because there's just not enough resources to even move them. I'm hoping that GRaIN will be interested in getting involved. I have high hopes!

Thursday 5/29/08: TODAY
Today was actually pretty chill! I woke up and realized that I had to type up something for Acting, so I did that in a rush while studying for my Photography midterm. Took the midterm, ended early and had Acting canceled for the day. I went to Smith Barney and dropped off cookies that I had baked with Adam (the brownies turned ROCK HARD!) and just chatted for a little bit. I'm kind of sad that I won't be able to visit as much because I'm so much more comfortable now, but hopefully I'll be able to keep in touch. Afterwards, I went to lunch with Cassie (Croutons, mm) and Yogurtworld with Bobby.

Unfortunately, I lost my phone...again. =( I had that phone for a while, I feel like! Sigh...

I didn't plan for it, but I ended up going to PB with Kevin and Irvin...who were twins for the night:

I DDed of course, lol. Freakin' Kevin was running on empty, I was afraid that his car wouldn't make it back home! Anyways, moral of the story is: I'm a good friend...I could have totally hidden his car somewhere and locked him out of his apartment and I didn't.
