quickie ;)

ahahha!! its not what you think! just wanted to do a quick update/ vent sess. in between my hcore math catching up during my 4.5 hours break! so i feel super overwhelmed right now. i feel uber behind in some courses, and somewhat behind in others. my goal this year is to keep up with the suggested problems and readings right after i have a class, but its hard to do when you really have no motivation into studying, have major ADD and constantly want to blog, tweet, facebook or watch random shows online from a hooked up link from the bestie. suddenly, i also feel really busy with volunteer stuff. i only have 2 small things going on that take 1.5 and 2 hours of my time per week BUT i have to count in the travel time to get there which adds a lot (but also gives me an excuse to study on the bus rides.) the thing is that now im thinking of getting more involved in- school, especially since a few 5th years i know have been asking me to get involved in higher positions in different committees. its hard saying no to opportunities, especially because i know they will be sooo much fun and probably pretty benefitial (reminds of being an SC nerd in hs), but then i still have to count for study time, time going home and spending with the fam, or those random few hours i get to spend with the buddies if they have time. if only there were more hours in a day, or even more days in a weekend!! lets see what the next few weeks bring, and how anti social they may or may not make me!!

get over it already

so much easier said than done.

-->seems as though im just waiting for the worst situation, to open my eyes to the fact that nothing is there.

math + hard = stress = fml

studying for at least four days for a math midterm, thinking i was uber prepped, go in and i have NO clue whats going on. that was my day yesterday. totally emofied me to the point i couldnt concentrate! and how was i rewarded? by having to start and finish my chem lab prep, which took 4 hours! OUCH! yes, it was painful. i want this academic year to get better! GIVE ME POSITIVE ENERGY PEEPS..or just pray for me if you're into that!!
upside, i get to go home tonight. downside, so much studying and probably won't be able to do much of it because of post Eid stuff, which will happen ever weekend for a minimum of a month! why are the Fijian Muslims crazy like that?!


p.s. hope to see everyone (boys et sush) next week.. if Pat is successful with planning and gathering everyone (or almost everyone) together on one night next week. *crosses fingers* i miss those mofos wayy too much!! why couldn't summer '09 last forever?!

fish is gross

i love fish but i HATE the smell. fish isn't supposed to smell fishy. every foodie KNOWS that it should smell like the sea. but my place smells like that really gross, fishy smell from some sort of sea animal that's been dead for a few days (this is quoted from one of the roomies!! LAWL!!). i tried creeping the fridge to see what the culprit of the smell was, and found nothing, except for some imitation crab meat, which i THINK one of the unit mates has actually been heating up and cooking every night. i didn't know imitation crab meat was allowed to be cooked..!! but then again, its in random wannabe crab bisques and what not. anyways, the smell had disappeared yesterday but came back last night after someone did some hcore asian cooking, with that same fishy smell. i attempt to get rid of it, by opening all the windows and turning the fan on full blast, but someone ends up turning it off within 5 minutes, and at least a few wasps end up inhabiting our living room (and trying to get rid of them involves asking some random guy from 214, or Edric, to kill it!!). no win situation? i think so. i'm embarrassed to have people over, because it smells so bad! =( example being yesterday when my cousin and her boy came by, and they refused to come out of my room because the smell was so overpowering. air freshener investments in the future, most probably. i wish we could light candles here. not only are they cheaper, but they look pretty and i LOVE the smell of a candle that's just been blown out!! well, venting done. that was random!!

p.s. can someone kill me? 5 courses, a math midterm tomorrow, along with ochem and coordination chem on the urge of raping me soon. eff em elllllllll.

p.p.s. for anyone who tried commenting on my posts and it was a fail (*cough* Rachael *cough*), i didn't change the restrictions on comment posts after i made the blog! im smart..!! anywhos, comment away Sush!! ;)

HP is ruining my life!

i now have to use the uber old desktop because my HP laptop is having issues AGAIN. its being sent back, although they JUST replaced a few things three weeks ago. so, for anyone who tries messaging me on facebook, because this desktop is super old, i really can't reply to them for some reason (probably because it needs a bunch of updates, which i don't have the time or the patience to download). as for now, this honking computer is used for school more than anything, takes up almost all the space on my desk, and is pretty loud. i'm hoping i get my laptop back soon, especially because i need it for some lectures where the prof talks super fast and doesn't post his power points online!! to communicate with the fro, 1)call me, 2)text me, 3)msn me. my msn probably looks a bit weird, but it's because (again) im using the older version of it, the one people used back in like grade 8!! but hey, story of my life right now. how super..


(p.s. Eid was so tiring yesterday. had to wake up uber early to help my mum/get dressed, was out alllll day going to fam bam's homes for food, and now have TONS of catching up to do. oh well, at least i got some fam time AND random monies from people! woot!)


[EDIT: FB messages are FINALLY working!! so you can use that form of communication as well!! =D]

EID MUBARAK

time for all those crazy Muslims (including my dad) to get fat after a month of fasting!!

EID MUBARAK PEEPS!

venting to no one post?

wells, i have a bunch of randoms on my mind, so i decided to have a venting session via blog. everyone who knows me knows of the huge, black bag/ sac thing i carry around EVERYWHERE, yes? well today i decided to FINALLY give it a good washing. ive had it over a year, maybe more, i cant remember, yet to this day (and it probably sounds extremely dizzgusting) ive never washed it. i decided to do so right now, only because my mum keeps harping about it, and ive been dropping lots of random crap on it lately, that it DESERVED to be washed. i was uber scurred, only because i did NOT want to know what the colour of the water that washed it would be. yes, it was a gross, dark grey-ish colour, and yes after rinsing it a second time, it was still a grey colour. soooooo gross. i hoped that it was from the original colour of the bag, and not the filth on it..but i doubt that!!

what else was there..oh im already uber behind in my class readings and problem sets. taking 5 courses each term, and all of them being worth at least 3 credits each, was dumb on my part. oh well, gotta be anti social, and just STUDY like a mofo.

Eid is apparently coming up (i didnt realize that a month has gone by so damn quickly!!), and im sorta excited, i think. i dont know. it takes away from my study time (eff, im so turning into the typical UBC nerd), and ill probably have to visit a bunch of people i only really see once a year due to Eid, but i guess getting tons of yummy free food, and the random cash from those few people who still think im 13, is pretty awesome!

today was a gross day though. 2 classes, and 2 three hour labs (the story of my life every other friday..yay..). luckily it only involved the 2 one hour lectures, and each lab only being about an hour to an hour and a half long, because it was orientation/check in week. the fail of the day was working my schedule around a meeting with the biochemistry advisor, running around like a mofo an hour before it, eating lunch and buying a poster from the SUB (which i had allll week to do, yet i left it to the VERY last minute, on the last day of the sale, and at the last moment i could go to it because it closed at 5pm, and my lab was supposed end at 5.) so, 5 minutes before the appointment, im still in line buying a poster, RUN to the Copp Building right after, and (being 5 minutes late and super flustered because i couldn't find the building OR the office) get to his door, to see a sign saying he had left. fml hcore. having only 45 minutes left before my next class, which is not enough time to go back to my place and back to Chem on time, i wondered around aimlessly, which AGAIN i couldve used for studying. such a fail! why must advisors do such mean things?!

well, that was a waste of 20 minutes of math time. oh well, a bit of venting to a few of creepers reading this always feels good!! ;)

AHHHH!

why the fuck did i choose being in a chemistry major? ima get raped or killed this year, if not this term. fml? i think so.

rant I

so, its been a week of living on campus, and its not as bad as it was the first day or two. i've somewhat gotten used to the environment, but obviously miss home all the time. the crying has cut down to once a day, sometimes just getting slightly tear-y eyed when talking to the fam bam, but that's all. now why did i decide to name this rant I? because i am UBER annoyed lately by some of the unit mates (2 out of the 3 of them!). my mum is an HCORE neat freak (for everyone who knows her, they understand where i'm coming from) and i never realized i had those characteristics as well until i moved in. the unit is becoming a disaster each day. the floor seems to get dirtier, the washroom seems to be full of more and more hair, the hallway now has a HUGE spillage of uncooked rice, and the culprite doesn't seem to want ot take the initative to clean it, the kitchen floor is dizzgusting (when you can feel stuff under your feet AND you're wearing socks, i feel extremely gross.), un-washed pots are sitting on the now dirty stove thats full of cooked food that has now dried on the stove top, and the counters seem to get filthy as soon as i clean them (pet peeve, dirty counter space, because all food prep is done on it.), and i don't know what to do. today i decided to take the inititive and wrote a note for everyone to read, basically saying we ALL need to meet up tonight to: 1) figure out a cleaning schedule (which the RA for our floor told everyone in floor 2 to do) and 2) to get some cleaning DONE! as of now, everyone is down minus the new unit mate, but i'm hoping she comes mainly because since she's moved in, the unit has become disgusting. coincidence? not sure right now. gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, why did my mum raise me this way?! i hate filth!

..

you know you live on res when..

you go to on campus events JUST to take advantage of the free, HEALTHY food!! im guilty of that!! went to tooo many events this week, just because I'm too lazy to go to the Save-on or Safeway to pick up some fruits and veggies!! =$

lets start over

soooo, yeah, i started a new one. i guess i wanted a brand new blog, for a brand new school year, mainly because my life now will probably be quite different compared to last year. i'm officially settled into my new pad! my room is uber small and the unit is very boring and dreery. i want to add some liveliness to it, put up some posters and what not, but i've got to find the time to go out and buy stuff! the roomies have changed a LOT since i first met them. i have a Japanese exchange student from Rits, and a coop student from Penticton (the last chick is still MIA!). i like the Japanese student, because shes uber cute, asian, and nice! but both have opened up quite a bit since the first move in day. the fro has opened up some more tres shy peeps, especially the student from Penticton! she herself admitted to being very anti social, but after one night with the crazy UBC buddies in 214, along with our hilarious wannabe karaoke night using you- tube, she's opened up a lots! the classes seem as though they will rape me within the next couple weeks. why i chose to take 33 credits in one year, i do not freakin know! i've been having random crying sessions a lot lately, at least one a day. its so stupid, because it literally comes out of no where. the first day of move in was HORRIBLE! sitting in my empty unit, because no had moved it. i had no laptop to occupy my mind, all the UBC buddies were in New West (where i would've been, but i was waiting for my parents to drop off last minute things), and no one was texting my back! =( so what did i do? cry!! LOL!! the loneliness factor kicked in, because no one was around! i was soooo happy to see the fam bam when they arrived. they were very confused to see a half bawling, half laughing daughter running and hugging them!! other factors that cause the crying: school (just thinking about the hell of what this year will be), life decisions (WTF AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE!? should i even be in chemistry? whats my future career? all initated by the parents, along with other family members asking what career path i've decided on, because i go to UBC and they think uni kids know EXACTLY what they're doing in the future!), and i guess just being away from home in general, and the life style change here. it feels weird talking to my parents on the phone and being updated on the many things happening there, that i didn't even know were going on. (brother going to high school, how everyones doing, etc, etc.) and this is only the first WEEK of living here!! that's the funny part! also, not having a TV in my room is weird. i never was into watching TV a lot, but not having easy access to one is something to get used to! im hoping that it'll all work out, i'll get adjusted sooner than later, and that student advisors can guide me in a sense with my "life decisions." so much to think about, and i dislike it. just gots to breathe, focus, and limit the crying to twice a week!! =P new blog..lets hope its not as emo as the previous!!
