i seem to be getting headaches on thurdays...i would think i would get them on tuesdays when im at school for 9 hours, with no real break to eat a meal....but no instead i get them on thursdays when im only at school for 6 hours....maybe im just too excited cuz i know the weekend is coming up....and what a weekend!! full of studying yay fun!!

this weekend is joe's 18th birthday....i cant believe hes already 18! and hes choosing uci for school!! im sooo excited for him! but i know alot of people were telling him to go to cal poly for engineering....i guess he said he couldnt see himself there...so he wanted to go to uci...=) i hope he likes it there gosh am i feeling old!! kim just graduated last yr and now joe is starting college??!

so i started getting scared when i was studying for my environmental health principles class....they were talking about child birth risks...and then i got to the part where it was saying that women up to age 30, have an 89% chance of giving birth to a healthy baby, and every yr after that the percentage lowers like 3.5% per yr ...dang thats soo soon!! and i feel like im no where near that point in my life....i mean i always figured that we still had so much time left, but 30?? thats 3 yrs away! and i guess i should be having my first child by 31?? and esp if i wanted to have 2 kids...and i have friends that are starting their families right now too, so i feel late but yet i feel so young and that i have soooo much time!! and i figured women these days are having babies later and later, and especially with all the technology these days....there are ways to help with those scary risk percentages...i just know ill be soo paranoid about keeping the baby healthy, when i am ready to start a family...

so it was hard to try to study last week, cuz len was visiting....it was our anniversary weekend~ on friday we stayed at home reading for the afternoon....i was studying and he was reading davinci code...then i wanted to take him to paradise cove in malibu, and also see the sunset...it was soo pretty and there was hardly anyone on the beach...we went to paradise cove and it was sooo crowded! i got a reservation online and we were early so i figured we had to wait anyways cuz our reservation wasnt until 8:15 and he said the wait was only 30 mins....so we waited and when 30 min passed i asked how much longer and the guy said 30 mins again....on then i started to get mad...i was like 'even if u have a reservation?'(cuz it was already 8:15) and all he could say was 'ya we're really backed up'....so i waited til he left and when i saw the lady that i thought was one of the owners...i asked her how long the wait was if u had a reservation and she went and found us a booth...dude that other guy?? what the heck...does he not get the concept of a reservation??....anyways we ate dinner and the fish i had was pretty good..len was sick so he couldnt really taste what he was eating....and i saw the cute guy kim and i saw before.....later before we left i asked for one of the postcards and he went to get one, but the owner lady found some and so, the cute guy goes "thanks mom!" so now we know hes part of the owner-family...gotta tell kim=) and on the way home, we sang and listened to the wicked soundtrack

on saturday it was a day full of studying, and then on sunday we went to church and went to huntington library after....it was almost closing but we were able to walk around for more than an hour....its so pretty over there! i love the japanese tea garden! then we got lunch/dinner at il fornaio....we wanted to go to cheesecake but the line looked so long! we were walking towards gordon biersch and saw il fornaio...since weve already eaten at gordon...we decided to try il fornaio...it was good there...the dishes we got were great! but i thought the selection was going to be alot more for some reason.... then that night, more studying ! it was alot easier to study cuz len had something to read too...it motivated me to study cuz he was motivated to finish the book....cuz if he was just lounging i probably wouldnt have gotten any studying done cuz i would have been too lazy hehe

midterms! gotta love the quarter system! cant wait til my bday cuz by then the quarter will be over...it sucks cuz i have an 8am final on my bday for an 11:40am class....so i have to wake up like at 5??? school is ok...getting used to the campus, gotta find more places to park tho, but its been ok parking at the spot i go to all the time...been meeting really nice people at school and its nice to know im not the only one commuting from afar....today's lab was bad got fuschia dye all over my lab coat! and if i didnt have gloves id have fuschia hands too! lab is ok, it sucks having it twice a week tho.... the other classes are pretty interesting too=)

i forgot to write about the luau kim brought me to 2 weekends ago...it was so fun! we went to the usc hawaii club luau...it was nice weather and the food was great! from bruddah's....and the entertainment was awesome! then there was a show with natural vibrations...they were great!! its such a good vibe to listen to hawaiian music live! it was sooo chill and everyone was just dancing n stuff! then after i went to ate marianne's bday party and saw a few old coworkers, which was really nice...feels like ive been gone from work for so long already! but its only been about a month

this weekend is easter...ill be studying! hopefully i finish my paper tomorrow so i can devote the weekend to the midterm on tuesday...hehe its been so long since ive written a paper...hope it doesnt take me too much longer to write it! also have to go to church tomorrow too for Good Friday...today is the first time in a while that ive gone to st. gens for church..i just feel weird seeing people i know there... i know im weird..ill usually hold off til people seem to recognize me and wait for them to say hi first and then ill say hi,...so if i dont do anything first, i hope that doesnt make me seem like a snob...lol im shy!, ya thats it

its pouring outside! i hope its not like that during my drive to school tomorrow...so far tues suck driving to school cuz its been raining...the other days didnt seem to take as long...school is ok...weird trying to get used to a new campus again....then i think back to my first day at uci......we already went on campus to find our classes the day before school started so we wouldnt be walking around with a map....still got lost and took some looooonnnnng ass route to get to somewhere that was right near us....i forgot wat building it was but i walked far!!!....so the hardest part at csula was driving around to the lots to see wat lot i can park in with my permit....so i didnt want to take a chance so im always going to the lot that i know i can park at, even tho my class is far....but the campus is very walkable even if i do park there all the time...doesnt have the hills uci has

so just 2 more days of school this week....its going so fast! freaking quarter system i think my midterms are next week already...hehe and i dont even have my books for my other classes yet cuz the stupid bookstore didnt have enough....

been looking online trying to look for a place where i can see some cherry blossoms...ive found festivals, which i do want to go to also, but i want to be around the trees too...the rose bowl one prob wont have them there?

also trying to think of ideas for my 5th yr anniversary with len...i cant believe its been that long already! time totally flew by...new york was our anniversary trip, but of course i still want to do something cool on our anniversary weekend...maybe go to the huntington library or the descanso gardens

listening to the some wicked songs right now....i hope we get to see it again..=)
gotta sleep now o^:^o
