Finals have been interesting. I pretty much spent most of every weekday this week with Shiva haha.
Slept over Sunday and Thursday nights.
Social Theory final on Monday was difficult as expected. Shiva and I were almost a split-second late to the 7h30 final.
On Tuesday, I hung out with Shiva in between her finals and after. After her Psych final, we hung out in her classroom so that she could get her score for the exam (which she didn't). Talked to her Indian prof about us XP I felt kinda awkward.
On Wednesday (our free day), I was supposed to go to campus to hang out with Shiva. However, I had to stay home all day because I did something idiotic the night before. I left my key in the front door all night. Totally forgot about my keys ;-; It was bad. Wednesday morning, Mother woke up and went outside. She saw the keys and freaked out. She's been telling all her friends about it ever since -_- She got hella paranoid, thinking someone got my keys, copied them, and then returned them to the door o_o I don't know why they would do that. I'd just try to break in right then and there. But anyway, yeah, that was fun -_-
So on Wednesday, Shiva came to my house instead. At first, it was just to hang out. But Mother asked if Shiva wanted to sleep over again. So Shiva slept over :P (Hm, we did a lot of sleeping this week). We watched "Repo Men" and "3 Idiots." Fun stuff :)
Shiva and I were up early on Thursday because I had my 100W final at 9h45. Yay, light rail. Final was simple. An analysis of an argument. Also got back my research paper. A, yay. Spent the rest of the day in Shiva's room.
Friday, woke up early for 7h15 final. My PHIL 57 final was much more difficult than I thought. Two essays and two truth tables. The essays were unexpected >_> I think I forgot to mention stuff in them. Oh well. Spent the rest of the day helping Shiva clean stuff out of her room. Took some of it home for myself XP
I don't remember if we were packing and cleaning on Thursday x_x How sad.
Anyway, we went to Christmas in the Park again with Q&A. Yay, rain that slowly builds up force (sadness for Shiva not wanting to share my umbrella with me ;-;). Finally saw the QTIP tree. Walked around a bit looking at trees and stuff. Shiva and I stopped by Bank of America haha. Met up with Killol. Listened to the carolers on the stage for a bit. Then Shiva and I left the group to go back to campus. On the way back, we stopped in an expensive bakery to get an eclair and a chocolate-dipped madeleine. Tasty.
Around 19h00, D came to drive Shiva and me to the SJ airport. Rain and darkness. And some confusion. Dropped Shiva off a little ways off from her entrance because we didn't know where to stop haha. Massive hugs and "miss you's" before I got back in the car and Shiva went on her way.
Anyway, yeah, I don't really remember everything that's happened this week. But that's ok. Maybe Shiva will fill in some details XD haha.... Oh, ate at the DC quite often this week.
Oh, yesterday, or rather Friday night, I forgot my wallet was still in my jeans and threw it all into the wash ): Yesterday, Mother found it before it went in the dryer. She got mad at me and my absentmindedness. Paper stuff were all ruined. Threw out all the business cards except one or two. Brother's photo got words inked onto it from a piece of a paper I had. Mother was angry about that too; bad luck. So she prayed and then tore the picture to discard it. Luckily, there were still three more of that picture. Senior ball photo was wet but ok. Back into the wallet haha. Now, my wallet is still slightly damp but lighter :P
I feel like I'm forgetting too many things this week. Keys, wallet. Reminds me of all the times I forgot other things that couldn't be saved ): Jackets, hats, iPod, cash.. So sad.
Random: Yay for repealing DADT!
Anyway, yesterday (Saturday), I spent all day organizing some of my music files and my desk, yay. Realized I should sell my textbooks soon. Watched "Memento."
Today, I got up and started organizing my room. Spent about five hours going through my backpack and my drawers. Tossing stuff out. Putting things in different, neater places. I don't remember if I gave all my junk away, but the bag of stuff that I had wanted to give away is missing. Still need to get rid of water color markers and paint(?). Re-discovered my wristbands, bandannas, and arm warmers. Stickers and stick-on tattoos! :D All from my childhood. Got rid of some of them though. Too many tiny pieces of stickers and such. Put on like three of the tattoos XD 'cause I'm awesome like that.
Also realized how long my hair has gotten o: It's crazy. But it's gonna be cut off hopefully this next summer.
Anyway, feels so nice to have an organized room. Even if Mother will probably disorganize it after the next laundry load.
Been reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. It's pretty awesome. I wish my brain could follow and solve complex codes.
So that's all I can remember from this week up until today. Gonna watch another movie tonight, read some more, and sleep early. Wake up early tomorrow, maybe get a head start on my term paper. Oh, Mother bought a buche de noel again XD Mmmm, tasty.
Five weeks till Brother is out :O So soon. Shiva will be back in three weeks. Almost everyone who's come back from college will be leaving in two weeks, or right after New Year's D: Christmas in less than a week.
Can't think of anything else to say right now. So I'll leave it here. Oh, I should put up resolutions or something soon. I'll do that in the next entry, if I remember.
Joyeux Noel!

Yay for new shoes and underwear!
Haha....
Today, I went to Oakridge with Shiva. Around 12, Mother drove me to the Ohlone-Chynoweth light rail stop to pick up Shiva. Walked around the mall a lil bit. Looked in Target for stuff, but they didn't have much of a selection for anything. Or sizes were too big -__- Eventually, Shiva dragged me into Payless Shoes, and I bought a pair of black Cross Trekkers for about $25 + tax. Bought underwear at Nordstrom Rack :D $2.97 for one. Not too expensive, not too cheap.
Shopping mission accomplished. Time for foodstuff. Bought tiramisu gelato for nearly $5 from some place near Orange Julius and stuff. Totally didn't notice the name of the place though haha. Wouldn't have stopped there either if Shiva hadn't noticed it. Anyway, onward to Cheesecake Factory. Shiva bought strawberry cheesecake. While we were waiting for her turn, my gelato was quickly melting in my hand D: !! Sticky -_-
Sat outside the restaurant to eat our desserts. Tasty!
We were supposed to get a ride back to my house from Mother, but Mother was afraid she would be late to visit Brother. So I said we would take the light rail home. Except when we got back to the Santa Teresa stop, I realized that I hadn't brought my keys with me because I had thought Mother would drive us home, thus relieving me of the need to bring my keys. Alas, Shiva and I had a slight dilemma. At first, I decided we would go to Ross and just hang out there until my mom came home. But I thought she would get angry at me for leaving the house empty for too long. So Shiva and I turned around and headed to my place.
Skateboarding in my neighborhood is dangerous. Too many hidden bumps in the sidewalks. Shiva nearly fell a few times D:
Trees were pretty. Well, some of them were. Shiva took pictures. When we got to my house, we sat underneath the tree in front and talked. Ate snacks (Danish cookies, Skyflake crackers). Windy ): I felt bad that Shiva was in the cold because I was too stupid to bring my keys. And it seems that ants in my front yard got into her bag T-T
To stave off the chill, we listened to her iPod and danced haha. In the light in front of my garage. Mother came home and let us into the house. So warm haha.
Shiva ate more spring rolls (two) and took (four) more home. I ate a Viet sandwich :P Mother ate a sandwich too. Had conversation about food and graduation stuff. Mother and Shiva talked through me mostly; sometimes they talked to each other directly haha. Oh, language barriers.
After food, Shiva and I went to bed for a little bit. Then D called, asking for the list of movies that I wanted to watch. I gave him the list (thirty-five movies haha). Back to bed. Until 19h30.
Off to picking up D and dropping Shiva off at campus. Fun.
I'm sure I forgot stuff. I'm sure Shiva will fill in some details haha.
Oh, almost forgot... When we were heading back to my house, there was some guy at the Ohlone-Chynoweth station who kept watching us. I didn't look at him, but I could feel his stare/glare. Shiva said he gave her/us a dirty(?) look. I dunno. But yeah. Anyway...
This weekend is gonna be fun. Gender Bender Dance Lesson tomorrow night at 18h00. Studying for Social Theory. Possibly helping Shiva study for other finals. Watching a movie or two. Food breaks and other breaks hopefully.
Anyway, yeah, that's all. How fun, eh?

Last Day of Fall 2010
It was a chill day.
Learned stuff and watched a video about Stuart Hall in Social Theory. After class ended, Tina gave Shiva and me goodie bags haha. There are a pink 2011 planner (I'll probably give it away. Who knows? I might use it if someone doesn't take it), a clementine, a fortune cookie, and chocolates that I don't recognize (but Shiva does).
In philosophy, listened to the last few people talk about their research papers. Prof Giddings asked if my hat was a San Jose Sharks hat. "No, it's just teeth" haha. Somehow that led to talking about YouKu.com. Then the class found out that there will not be a final. I had guessed that she wouldn't. Her reason: she had given us "a lot of papers" to write this semester, so that we wouldn't need to do a final. Hmm, five papers ranging 2-4 pages and a 7-page research paper. Yeah, I guess that was quite a bit for her class. Class ended early. Turned in research papers, and that was that.
Then I met up with Shiva, Michelle P, and Karishma at Lee's Sandwiches. Met one of their friends, Chris(?). Sat, talked, and ate a little bit before going to Shiva's SOCI 116 class. Ran into Tina and another classmate, Yolanda, in the hallway. Talked a bit about finals and studying for finals. Then went to Cox's 116 class. Watched a video about dictatorship in Chile. Angering >_< Last words from Prof Cox. Then out.
Shiva and I went to the Sport Club because she had a meeting there with the Group Fitness coordinator person. I stood awkwardly to the side. Apparently, my cute awkwardness is the only reason Shiva likes me ;-;
Back to her place, we ate pb&j sandwiches for lunch. Made sesame and taro buns for Q&A. Were about fifteen minutes late for the meeting, I think.
Oh, when Shiva and I were walking past CVC toward the BB Building, there was a group of guys sitting on the ledge thing. When we were walking just in front of them, she and I gave each other a kiss, and one of the guys yelled out, "NOO!" At first, I wasn't sure if that was for us or for something else. She and I kissed again, and again we heard "NOOO!" I didn't turn around to see who was yelling. One more kiss; "NOOOO!" At the door of the BB Building, I decided to see if it was really for us. Move in for kiss; "NOOOOO!" Shiva and I burst out laughing, not finishing the kiss and moving into the building. That was strange >_> and a lil awkward. I don't know why some stranger was yelling out "NO!" at us. I think it was either in disbelief or in jest. Either way, still weird O_O
Anyway, the potluck for Q&A was fun. Not as much food as the previous potluck, but still good stuff. Karishma gave Shiva and me little jingle bell things as Christmas gifts. Four people there that I did not recognize. A girl and three guys. I was thinking that the guys may have been school athletes who happened to be nearby and wanted to check out the meeting. Anyway, after some food, Shiva and I left. Went to her 16h30 class. Kisses goodbye. Her Indian prof, Rattan, happened to get to class at that time and saw. And I think she said we looked cute <_< and "I wish I had a camera so I could take a snapshot." I think I blushed a lot or something; it was embarrassing ^_^;
Anyway, the light rail ride home was ok. Some lady was yelling at an older lady about something for a little while. I dunno what happened, but yeah.
Classes are over, and I have three finals to go to. One hard one, and two easy ones. Monday, Thursday, Friday. I wish I had them all early in the week though, just to get them over with. Oh well.
Schedule for the next week or so:

Nearing the end of Fall 2010
Tomorrow's my last day of classes. Then three days of finals next week: Monday, Thursday, and Friday. That's gonna be fun. At least my hardest final will be out of the way on Monday.
This week has been ok so far. Haven't done too much.
Turned in my term paper for 100W today. Oh, one of my classmates, Kenya, had to do a presentation (the last one), and she was just having a lot of trouble with stuff. Stuff was falling out of her backpack, her laptop was dying, the projector wouldn't connect to her laptop, emailing her powerpoint to another classmate took the longest time, and Kenya was just really frustrated and stuff. I felt bad, but I didn't know how to help ):
Mm, tomorrow, I have Social Theory and Philosophy of Religion, yay. Will probably get the take-home final for Philosophy.
I'm so happy I don't have any homework to worry about tonight. I'll start worrying about finals this weekend XD
Gender Bender Dance thingy this Saturday, yay! Though, I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy it if my headache and back ache don't go away D:
Ahh, I feel like Winter Break is gonna go by just as fast as this past semester has. At the least, I hope I feel well-rested when school starts at the end of January.
Anyway, Christmas is getting closer. Do I have a wish list this year? No, not really. I need shoes and underwear. Then I'll be set for the new year haha.
Today, I found out that my shoes, particularly my left, are worn at the heel and ball of the foot. It was raining today. I avoided the puddles, but I could feel the bottom of the toes of my foot and my sock getting wet really quickly -_- With no puddles around, I'd take a few steps, and my sock would get wet in the same spot. So this Friday, Shiva and I are planning to go to the mall, so that I can buy new shoes. These Fallen shoes have only lasted about a year and a half :O Not that long, even though I usually get new shoes every year.
But seriously, I don't wanna ask for anything this year. I dunno what to ask for either. I am quite happy with what (and whom) I have now. I'm relatively happy, especially at this time of the year, even if Brother isn't home to celebrate holidays and birthdays with.
Anyway, I guess, for Christmas this year, I want... to be happy, to not be so stressed out about school, family, and life. If I could have that for Christmas Day, I think I'll be okay.
2011 coming soon... in about three weeks :O So soon. Ahhh... crazy. I wonder if I'll partake in any New Year's festivities. If I do, I'm sure I won't drink alcohol at all.
Resolutions? Probably none. Or one or two. I remember I said that I would probably try to stay away from making a list of resolutions. Though, I still have my 2010 list in my wallet. I think I've actually accomplished more than half of them :) Yay.
If I decide to make a resolution or two, what should I try to accomplish by the start of 2012? Not gonna say "get a girlfriend" XD haha 'cause I already got an amazing and beautiful girl :3 Maybe I should try "find a job" again haha. "Go to Anime Expo 2011" XD "Apply for graduation. Make plans for post-grad." "Read more books," though it seems I'm gonna have plenty to read next semester x_x Oh, I know a good resolution: "Make Shiva happy." :) That sounds like a good one, doesn't it? I think so.
I'll put up my resolution(s) by New Year's Eve. Probably.
Anyway, I should go to bed soon. Should sleep early-ish for once haha...

Sleepover, yay!
Friday night, Shiva slept over at my house :O First friend to ever really sleep over at my house. It was awesome/awkward.
She came over after 14h00. Mother had left to go visit Brother. I biked out to the light rail station and met up with Shiva. I biked back, while Shiva was on her skateboard. Showed her around my house a bit. When Mother came home, she gave us Viet vegetarian food to eat for dinner. Two plates of spring rolls and two egg rolls. We ate one plate of tasty spring rolls. Before and after dinner, we had been working on homework stuff. Around midnight, we brushed our teeth and went to bed. Watched "Imagine Me & You" :3 My mom had woken up while we were watching the movie and saw the light coming from my room. She didn't know what Shiva and I were doing haha.
You know, I am very surprised that my mom was the one who said Shiva could sleep over. I mean, I had asked if Shiva could come to our house. My mom said yes and then added the sleepover part. Very surprising.
Anyway, Saturday morning, Shiva and I got up, got ready, and took the light rail to school so that she could go to a Club Sports event in the bowling alley. I sat outside, trying to work on a paper. Didn't get anywhere. Tummy-ache was bothersome. I went back to Shiva's room without her to sleep off the ache. When she came back, we both fell asleep through the afternoon haha (Sorry!). Woke up to a eat a lil. Then we were supposed to get up and do work, but I was so comfy that Shiva passed out. Then I got out of bed for a bit. When I came back, she was out cold, so I left her alone and did my work. Though, when she woke up later, she was sad that I didn't wake her up ): I wanted her to get more rest -nods-
Sunday was a short day. I had to leave earlier than usual ): At home, I ate two whole crabs, minus their shells, of course o_o One of the shells sliced open my finger though -_- Such a deep slice. It still kinda hurts. Today, Shiva poured hydrogen peroxide on it T-T
Today was an off day. First class was canceled. A few people showed up, but no prof. So people left. I stayed for a while to use the Internet. Then I went to another building for my next class. Shiva came and sat with me. Then I went to class to watch people's presentations. Then to Shiva's, where Shiva and I remained for most of the afternoon. Then I did some stupid thing ): Then we went to the Student Union to help Tina (a classmate from Social Theory in Shiva's group) with group presentation stuff. Then Tina bought us a drink (chai iced tea) from the cafeteria. Then Shiva joined me on the light rail home. Then Mother and I waited in the car until Shiva's light rail left back to school. Finally, I'm now home. Already ate dinner, which I'm sure was tasty but I don't remember the taste.
Working on my papers that are due Wednesday and Thursday. I hope I don't have to stay up too late to finish them.
Anyway, I don't know what else to say. I've got stuff on my mind. And I should get back to my papers. Good night, y'all.

Before and after dinner, we had been working on homework stuff. Around midnight, we brushed our teeth and went to bed. Watched "Imagine Me & You" :3 My mom had woken up while we were watching the movie and saw the light coming from my room. She didn't know what Shiva and I were doing haha.
You know, I am very surprised that my mom was the one who said Shiva could sleep over. I mean, I had asked if Shiva could come to our house. My mom said yes and then added the sleepover part. Very surprising.
Anyway, Saturday morning, Shiva and I got up, got ready, and took the light rail to school so that she could go to a Club Sports event in the bowling alley. I sat outside, trying to work on a paper. Didn't get anywhere. Tummy-ache was bothersome. I went back to Shiva's room without her to sleep off the ache. When she came back, we both fell asleep through the afternoon haha (Sorry!). Woke up to a eat a lil. Then we were supposed to get up and do work, but I was so comfy that Shiva passed out. Then I got out of bed for a bit. When I came back, she was out cold, so I left her alone and did my work. Though, when she woke up later, she was sad that I didn't wake her up ): I wanted her to get more rest -nods-
Sunday was a short day. I had to leave earlier than usual ): At home, I ate two whole crabs, minus their shells, of course o_o One of the shells sliced open my finger though -_- Such a deep slice. It still kinda hurts. Today, Shiva poured hydrogen peroxide on it T-T
Today was an off day. First class was canceled. A few people showed up, but no prof. So people left. I stayed for a while to use the Internet. Then I went to another building for my next class. Shiva came and sat with me. Then I went to class to watch people's presentations. Then to Shiva's, where Shiva and I remained for most of the afternoon. Then I did some stupid thing ): Then we went to the Student Union to help Tina (a classmate from Social Theory in Shiva's group) with group presentation stuff. Then Tina bought us a drink (chai iced tea) from the cafeteria. Then Shiva joined me on the light rail home. Then Mother and I waited in the car until Shiva's light rail left back to school. Finally, I'm now home. Already ate dinner, which I'm sure was tasty but I don't remember the taste.
Working on my papers that are due Wednesday and Thursday. I hope I don't have to stay up too late to finish them.
Anyway, I don't know what else to say. I've got stuff on my mind. And I should get back to my papers. Good night, y'all.

It is now December o_o
This past Thanksgiving weekend was all right. Spent all four days at home. Did not set one foot outside the door. No Shiva to go to ): But she was down in So Cal with friends and family, so that was good.
Mm, Mother, D, and I had big meals over the the four days. Some typical Viet foods on Thanksgiving, boiled crabs on Friday, steak on Saturday, and something-that-I've-since-forgotten on Sunday haha. The crabs were amazingly good, mmmm.... Mine was the largest of the three though @_@ So big. The steak was ok. I had mine rare. So much red left in it haha. A1 sauce isn't that tasty, kinda too sour. Never liked bbq sauces nor steak really. But I ate one whole steak 'cause Mother keeps worrying about my iron level. Mother and D had split the other steak D: I felt weird having such a big piece while they didn't.
Let's see. I spent Friday night/early Saturday morning working on my research paper for 100W. Wanted to get most of it done. Accomplished, yay. Tried to do the same thing for my philosophy research paper, but I majorly lacked motivation the next two days D:
Coming back to school this week was difficult. I was so lazy. Didn't wanna go to any of my classes. But I had to. Presentations and stuff. Shiva sat in on my 100W presentation on Monday >_< I forgot a couple of things, I think. But oh well, two of my classmates asked questions, made me happy to know people were actually paying attention :D My Tuesday "presentation" for PHIL 109 wasn't really a presentation. Just a overview of what my topic was, what research I've done so far, and basically going over the beginnings of the research paper. I'm glad I volunteered to go first XD Because the people presenting on the last day actually have to talk about the finished paper.
Wednesday, I watched presentations in 100W. Wrote evaluations on them. Also asked a question :D Then the class had to do an instructor evaluation.
I've skipped PHIL 57 both days this week :O Just don't feel like going to class :/ But next week, I'll show up to both classes, since they'll be the last days of class anyway.
Anyway, Shiva and I went to QTIP to go to Christmas in the Park. Got to the meeting at 18h30, but didn't really leave until almost 19h00 T-T
At the park, there were two or four people standing to the side with a sign that said "FEAR JESUS" and shouting stuff about Jesus, God, fear, hell, damnation, etc. Same people who stand at the light rail stops. Same people who shout in front of the Event Center. I would listen to them, except they're yelling at people and telling them they're all sinners going to hell. Way to spread the joys of the season -___- Shiva and I jokingly considered kissing in front of them, but you know we might have gotten shot for that XP
Anyway, QTIP group pictures in front of the giant Christmas tree. My awkward lonely poses. Fake snow. Coin-racing booth for charity. $3 churro x_x Attempt to find the QTIP Christmas tree, unaccomplished ):
Brian L was supposed to come join us. He got out of class at 19h15. I had to leave at 20h00. Somehow, the three of us ended up meeting at the light rail stop haha.
Mm, oh, random: when Shiva was about to come back up to SJ, her mom bought a 12-inch pumpkin pie O_O for Shiva and me to share hahaha. SO BIG. I took like a quarter of the pie home on Monday. Just finished it tonight. We've also been slowly eating the pie since Monday. I think we've got a little more than a quarter left.
And ooh, I got a new bed O_O Like an actual bed haha. Not like the air mattress that I've been sleeping on for I-don't-even-remember-how-long. It's a Diamond Mattress--I've never heard of this brand. A full-sized pillow top mattress. So soft, not firm. It's so weird now that I'm going to be sleeping way above the floor in my room XD It also takes up quite a bit of space. Mother will only be able to vacuum a few feet in a straight line, and that's it. My floor's gonna get dusty -_-
I also learned that Brother might not take his dresser with him when he gets out of jail and moves into a new place -_- My bedroom will remain cramped for years to come. Nooo. He better take it with him T-T I want my room to myself. I want space, even though I guess it doesn't really when I'm barely in my room anymore.
Hm, wow, it's already been three months. Two more months, and Brother's out. A whole school semester passing by so quickly. A new year to come in less than a month. Obama's been in office for almost two years now. Shiva's Spring graduation coming after another semester together (three classes together XD). My graduation another semester closer. My "future" is that much closer. My unpreparedness is showing more and more. But I'll prepare myself eventually. I've got the help of a lovely Shiva :3 haha. Yeah, days, weeks, and months are passing quick, but it just means we're getting somewhere.....
Not much else to report haha. After tomorrow, I have a week of classes left and a week of finals. My hopefully hardest final will be on Monday, December 13, at 7h15 @_@ Easy finals on Thursday the 16th at 9h45 and Friday the 17th at 7h15. Hopefully easy take-home final due that Friday at probably noon.
Sad that Shiva's gonna be far away for at least four weeks >: How will I survive? D:
Oh, and this break, I have quite a bit I want to do: write the term paper for SOCI 116; read at least the two books that Shiva let me borrow and maybe Le petit prince; talk to Shiva when I can; watch a bunch of movies from my To Watch list; download a bunch of music (It's been quite a few months since I've downloaded music. It's crazy); catch up on rest; catch up with past friends; maybe do something active (We'll see).
That's all. Good night :P

Thanksgiving weekend coming up...
Today, I went to my first class (PHIL 57) at 9 for about twenty minutes and then left. Not much happening in that class now. Went to Shiva's place to be with her for a lil while before she had to leave for So Cal.
We went to the school bookstore because there was a 25%-off sale. Very few sweaters that we liked the design of. And most of them were still really expensive. So we ended up not buying anything. Probably will buy something at the end of the semester.
Anyway, light rail to the airport. Shared a few bits of chocolate on the way. Hm, different terminal this time. I got confused XD Airport line was short when we got there and gradually got longer. We said our goodbyes at the entrance to the line.
I was sad ): A weekend without Shiva. How unfamiliar D:
Anyway, I left. Took the light rail straight home. I had planned to go back to campus, but I decided against it. Mother was surprised that I went home so early XP Then she asked me if I had escorted Shiva to the airport. I said yes, and she just replied with "Geez, you two friends are just so nice and loyal to each other." Not sure how I feel about how she said that. I don't know what she might have been implying, if she was implying anything at all.
Been home all day since. Did some reading. Watched "My Soul to Take" (not very entertaining) and "Leaves of Grass" (very entertaining in the hillbilly/Edward Norton kinda way haha).
Just found out that I got into a class that I was waitlisting for. So I have a complete schedule for Spring 2011 :)
Monday/Wednesday
1030-1145 SOCI 163: Social Change (M Rokni)
Tuesday/Thursday
0900-1015 SOCI 105: Qualitative Research Methods (A Leisenring)
1030-1145 SOCI 104: Quantitative Research Methods (C Garcia)
Online
PHIL 134: Computers, Ethics and Society (E Sonnier)
Plan to Add
Tuesday/Thursday
1330-1445 SOCI 116: Global Society (C Cox)
My schedule's gonna be kinda weird next semester. Everything's mostly crammed into Tuesday and Thursday. Especially once I add SOCI 116 on the second day of classes, a Thursday. That's gonna be five classes. I'm hoping I'll be able to handle it because one's an online class and I'm thinking of writing my term paper for SOCI 116 over Winter Break.
Mm, so I'm gonna have three classes (104, 105 & 163) with Shiva XD She's gonna get sick and tired of me XP hahaha jk. How could she? I'm too awesome. But really, this reminds me of high school when people shared the majority of their classes with a few friends.
Anyway, I hope my/our schedule works out for the best. Especially with QTIP and Q&A.
Mm, so much work to do this weekend. Need to finish reading stuff. Write two papers and prepare for two presentations T-T ahhh..
Tomorrow's Thanksgiving. Yay, food. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving with your families or whomever.
Good night!

Twelfth Night... Steampunk-style...
So this past Saturday evening, Shiva, Brian, Marian, and I went to the University Theatre to watch the play Twelfth Night, steampunk-style :O
We, excluding Brian, walked in the pouring rain across campus XP I stepped in a deep puddle. Wet socks T-T Came a few minutes before the start of the show, but managed to get seats in the third row :D because a girl generously moved over for the four of us.
The play was entertaining. Though, much more physically vulgar than I'd like. A lot of pelvic thrusting and stuff. One of the things I like about Shakespearean plays is that the crude jokes remain crude jokes, not necessarily to be acted out. The way I see it is if you get the dirtiness of the joke, then you get it. If not, then oh well. I don't want physical gestures to tell me what I already understand -__-
Anyway, the acting was good. I liked Festes :P He was silly. He rapped and sang XD And all the characters danced. There were some scenes in which some characters walked or danced silently o_o I wasn't sure what to make of those. Interpretive dance? -shrug-
The scene where Olivia and Cesario/Viola kiss was not unexpected, yet it was. I thought the actresses would pretend to kiss, but they actually kissed :O
Um, what else did I think? Oh, Orsino looked gross >_> I think it was the combination of his messy hair and bristly beard. Did not look attractive to me. His posse, however, was cool haha. They were a bunch of female thugs (or well, one or two were playing guys).
Hm, since this was the last show, the actors and actresses seemed to have all their lines down. Didn't notice any moments where someone got stuck at a line. I think at one point someone almost rolled off the stage :O Instead, they managed to just kick a skull or something off the stage.
Oh haha, I recognized one or two of the actors from about two years ago, I think :P The guy who played Sebastian had played the role of a son in Death of a Salesman.
Anyway, that was fun. The four of us walked back across campus. Shiva tried to pull me into giant puddles. The Seventh Street Plaza had like three huge puddles. Ponds. Mini lakes XP I tricked Shiva into stepping into one XD Shiva and Brian play-fought, ran around and stuff.
Shiva, Marian, and I went to 7-11 to rent some movies. Went back to Shiva's. Made DiGiorno pizza and breadsticks. Breadsticks, awesome; pizza, meh, could have been better. Watched "Jonah Hex." I thought it was going to be a good movie 'cause I had read good things about it. But it was not that amazing -_- Waste of a dollar. Sorry. Thought it was gonna be about a guy on a bounty-hunting mission. It technically was, I guess, I dunno, but it wasn't exciting.
Went to sleep. The next day, Sunday, Shiva and I went to a queer-dance committee meeting. Ironed out some details. Date set for February 24 at 8PM. Anyone 18 and over can attend. Theme: Red/White/Black or suits of playing cards :)
After that, Shiva and I watched "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." It was entertaining, gross, exciting, and not as good as we had expected. But it was still worth the dollar haha. We plan to watch the second and third movie -nodnod- I think we'll learn more about the main character in the second movie. Also, she looks pretty cool XP Her character is troubled but likable. Though, a few of the things she does is blehhh -_- But Shiva and I agree that we both like the part where she tattoos a guy -nodnodnod- :P
So that was the weekend. Today was ok. Not much happened, except I found out that I don't have 100W on Wednesday, which means I can escort Shiva on the light rail to the airport :P Should probably not bring much stuff to school on Wednesday.
Have quite a bit of work to do this weekend. Two papers and lots of reading, it seems. Have to do the papers this weekend even though they're both due on the last two days of school. Why? Because I signed up to present on my papers next Monday and Tuesday to get them out of the way. Also, signing up early should encourage me to finish my papers early -nodnodnod- I hope so XD It would be sad if I didn't finish my papers this weekend.
Anything else? Anyone coming home to SJ this weekend? Though, I'm not sure how free I will be to hang out. I will try. Not going Black Friday shopping, sorry. Don't ask me to go to that. I don't want to buy anything nor risk my life for materialism XP haha. Hope no one dies on Friday >_>
Oh, just found out an ST student died yesterday. A junior cheerleader named Jordan. Alcohol was involved. Five students (two ST cheerleaders, three OG boys) crammed into a RAV4. The other four were injured (broken bones and such). I dunno what's gonna happen to the other cheerleader or how she's gonna deal with this because she was the one driving. Anyway, RIP Jordan. Even though I never met you, I know you'll be greatly missed.
People, don't drink and drive. Or rather, drink responsibly please.
Well, that's all I've got to say. Later!

My first formal-ish date....
So on Friday, I went to campus to hang out with Shiva. I went with her to our friends Killol and Phil's place. She had been hanging out with them, eating dinner with their friends. Killol kept offering food. I would have eaten them if Mother hadn't been stuffing me with food all day that day. A Double-Double with a strawberry shake and fries. And Mother made me eat her fries too. Then she made me eat porridge. Just way too much food for one day @_@
After hanging out Killol's and Phil's place, Maggie came by to pick Shiva and me up. And we hung out in Shiva's room, talking and catching up. It was good :) Learned a bit about what's been going on with some people, like Autumn. Ariane wanted to hang out a bit, but she was busy and Maggie had to go home ): And we didn't get to hang out yesterday.
Anyway, Shiva and I spent Friday night/Saturday morning watching "The Illusionist." That was a good movie. Quite a twist. I like Edward Norton, such a good actor. I wasn't expecting accents though o_o haha.
Saturday, Shiva and I just slept and talked for most of the day. Had an off moment in the afternoon ): Completely my fault.
Then we got up to get ready to go to dinner. I wore a dress shirt, slacks, a tie, and a jacket. Shiva wore a dress just for me :) She looked beautiful. We walked to PF Chang's. Shiva had made reservations for a booth at 7pm, but there were no booths available when we arrived. So we waited. As we waited, one of Shiva's former classmates, who was working there, stopped and talked to us about school and stuff.
Dinner itself was tasty. Vegetarian lettuce wraps, tea (something with peach and apricot), brown rice, coconut curry vegetables, and wok-seared lamb. Service was slow. Apparently, it took an hour and fifteen minutes for us to get our dessert and our check.
Dessert was a birthday chocolate cake in a shot glass that wasn't that bad. That was free. The other two desserts Shiva and I got were tiramisu and a cheesecake in shot glasses. Tasty tiramisu. Two dollars for such a small thing though @_@
Ahaha, when we were eating or waiting (I don't remember), Shiva's classmate passed by, tapped our table, and said, "You two are just so cute!" haha XD At first, I thought, "Wth? Did a stranger just say that to us?" but then I realized it was the friend who was working haha.
Oh, so when I was blowing out the candle on the chocolate cake in a shot glass, Shiva sneakily placed a gift on the table. So I opened it (with a bit of Shiva's help haha). Guess what she got me? XD It's pretty damn awesome. Wrapped in dark green tissue paper and a white ribbon, with a dried rose on top, was -trumpet music- Le Petit Prince! :D I loooove that book. I can't believe she remembered haha. Shiva's amazing :3 When I saw the book, apparently I looked shocked or surprised haha. I was! Ahh, I wanted to get the book so badly after I read it in Madame's class. Ahh, have I mentioned that Shiva is amazing? If I haven't, well, SHIVA IS AMAZING! :O
Anyway, lots of food. We had to take them home because we were stuffed.
Back at Shiva's, Sabrina (roommate) took a few pictures of us. We took a few more before we decided to go to bed.
Oh oh, also, when I walked into Shiva's room, I didn't notice anything. Until Shiva went to go open the window to let some air in. On the window, the words "HAPPY BIRTHDAY THUY" were written. Sabrina told us that Marian had come by and written it. And on Shiva's desk was a note and a gift. She had made Shiva and me a pair of I-don't-actually-know-what-you-call-them (keychain-like thingy?). And I don't know how to describe them. Maybe Shiva will comment to describe them for us haha. But they're images of me and her (though, the one of her doesn't really look like her because apparently Marian had to erase some lines, making the face look rounder). The one of me for her and the one of her for me. They're pretty awesome.
Mm, Shiva and I turned in early (midnight). Kinda wanted to watch a movie, but were too full and exhausted XD
Woke up early today. Didn't really get up until noon though. Strange morning -_- Exciting but depressing dream. Bicycles that fly higher as you pedal faster. Losing people. Or people dying or disappearing. An evil bathroom (like a room where you feel something malevolent in the air). Anyway, yeah, morning was kinda off. But Shiva and I got up and went outside. There was supposed to be a meeting for Shiva to go to, but it wasn't where it was supposed to be. So we went to 7-11 to rent "The Book of Eli." Watched that.
What a twist of an ending. Did not see that coming at all XD Made me want to watch the movie again haha. Maybe I'll watch it again sometime in the future. With what I know now, I would watch the movie with a different mindset. During the movie, I thought the action sequences were good, and the storyline ok. But the ending really WOW-ed me :D or rather us haha. We totally didn't predict the ending.
Anyway, yeah, this weekend was fun, thanks to Shiva :) What an amazing person I have in my life.... I'm sorry I ruined the weekend a lil with my stupidity >_< I'll make it up to you. And I'm also sad that I didn't get to do amazing things for you for your birthday T-T I will though -nodnodnod-
After hanging out Killol's and Phil's place, Maggie came by to pick Shiva and me up. And we hung out in Shiva's room, talking and catching up. It was good :) Learned a bit about what's been going on with some people, like Autumn. Ariane wanted to hang out a bit, but she was busy and Maggie had to go home ): And we didn't get to hang out yesterday.
Anyway, Shiva and I spent Friday night/Saturday morning watching "The Illusionist." That was a good movie. Quite a twist. I like Edward Norton, such a good actor. I wasn't expecting accents though o_o haha.
Saturday, Shiva and I just slept and talked for most of the day. Had an off moment in the afternoon ): Completely my fault.
Then we got up to get ready to go to dinner. I wore a dress shirt, slacks, a tie, and a jacket. Shiva wore a dress just for me :) She looked beautiful. We walked to PF Chang's. Shiva had made reservations for a booth at 7pm, but there were no booths available when we arrived. So we waited. As we waited, one of Shiva's former classmates, who was working there, stopped and talked to us about school and stuff.

"Firework"
by Katy Perry... I'm totally loving this song. I like the music video that goes with it too, though I guess fireworks (or even sparklers) shooting from your chest is kinda strange/scary. What if you catch on fire? :O
Anyway, it has been a relatively good week. Been trying to get some work done early so that this weekend would be relatively free for fun stuff. Four-day weekends, yay!
Except yesterday, I had to stay home ): because my mom wanted me to rest and stuff. I wasn't feeling all that great. So I spent the day trying to watch movies online, but either the movies stopped working or I plan to watch them at a later time with Shiva :) I watched half of "The Book of Eli" before I decided I wanted to watch it with her. Lots of movies I wanna watch with her :P
So instead of that movie, I watched "Across the Universe" with her (I streamed it online, while she watched the movie file that she has on her drive). It was interesting. I thought I would like it more 'cause I've heard so many good things about it, but I just thought it was ok. I like the song covers haha (Yay, Beatles!).
Hmm, been watching a lot of music videos on YouTube. Don't know what else to do at home other than do homework. But my motivation is still steadily dwindling.
Oh, so this morning, I went to another doctor's appointment to talk to him about my blood test, which I had last Friday. Iron deficiency, I think. In viet, he just told my mom and me that I "lack metal" (literal translation). So yeah, it's safe to assume he means I'm low on iron. So now, my mom's gonna make me eat more red meat XP Meh. Apparently, I haven't been eating that much meat in the past couple of months, which probably explains why I have a slight iron deficiency now.
Hm, so now I have to take an iron supplement twice a day for the next two months. Then I have to get my blood tested again to see if my iron gets back to a normal level. Hope so.
So I'm feeling slightly less than average. But I don't think it's the deficiency. Just not feeling happy with my mom. I know she cares, and I don't even care that she says it's my fault I'm unhealthy because it's true. It's the tone of voice that makes me feel sick. How she raises her voice too. Angry and all. She doesn't need to be angry. Blah...
Oh and homework doesn't help either -_-
Anyway, so tonight and tomorrow, I'ma hopefully spend time with Shiva :3 Well, tonight, I might be hanging out with Maggie :) whom I haven't seen since the summerrrr. So yay. If not tonight, then tomorrow afternoon. And if not tonight, apparently, Shiva and I will eat sushi? And tomorrow night, dinner date for my birthday, yaayyy! ^_^ I haven't been on a date like that before haha.
Also need to write a letter to Brother x_x I've been forgetting. My mom had told him that I already sent him a letter when she visited him on Thursday -_- Now, I feel bad because he's gonna be waiting for my letter T-T I'll write him his letter tonight or tomorrow and send it as soon as possible.
I can't believe it's already been more than two months since he's been in jail. So fast. He's got three more months, hmm. Wonder how things will go when he gets out. He's gonna have to pay his debt to the state and stuff. I hope it works out.
What else? I dunno. Stuff. And stuff. I've been thinking and not thinking about things lately haha. Some deep future-thinking and planning. It's crazy to think that I'll be graduating in about one and a half years.
Registration's opening for next semester. I get to sign up on Wednesday at 18h00. I hope all the classes I want will still be open. I really want them. Five classes. Well, four, but I know I can add one later for sure. Four sociology courses, one philosophy. Might switch out a sociology course for a linguistics course. But I'm really trying to get three sociology classes with Shiva haha. We'd see each other sooo often XP
-crosses fingers- I want those classes....
Oh, and damn, I can't believe tuition's gonna go up to $4884 next Fall. It's going up 5% for Spring 2011, and another 10% for Fall 2011. It's friggin' nuts! I'm lucky I get financial aid, but seriously what the hell? I don't know how tuition raises help much. They're just making it harder for students to get into college and stay in college. I wonder how much of a salary cut the bourgeois administrators have to get XP
Bleh. Anyway, four more weeks of classes and a week of finals, yay. Six-ish weeks of winter break. Can't wait for this semester to be over. It's been fun with Shiva and friends. But school has not been that fun. But I guess I've learned a great deal in my Social Theory class :) It's taken over my life haha.
Anyway, that's all for now. Hope all is well with you.

First week of November 2010
So this week has been ok.
Shiva told people to sing Happy Birthday to me o_o; On Tuesday, she and Cathy sang to me hahaha. How awkward. On Wednesday, she got whoever came to QTIP to sing to me XP
On Wednesday, in QTIP, people played a game with a cereal box that had the top cut off. A player is supposed to try to pick up the box with his or her mouth without touching the ground with his or her arms or knees. Then Billy like surprised all of us with his amazing picking-up-cereal-box skills hahaha. There was like less than half an inch left. And he got it O_O Then Shiva cut it so that there was like less than a quarter inch or something, and he still got it. Amazing! haha.
Yesterday, in Q&A, Shiva led the meeting and explained Diwali. I helped demonstrate a dance <_< the garba... That was interesting XP There were sweets. Oh, Shiva taught people a simple version of the dance. That was chaotic but funny haha.
Mm, so yesterday morning, Shiva and I took the Social Theory midterm #2. She seems to be confident about her exam. I was and am not. Though, I guess I'm a lil bit more confident now, thanks to Shiva. But yesterday morning, after we left the classroom, I freaked out a bit on the inside. I so wasn't able to go to my next class T-T
Oh, anyway, earlier this week, I talked to Prof Cox (Shiva's SOCI 116 prof) about taking his course next semester. He said he would definitely add me if I wasn't able to enroll in the course. And damn, I totally should have talked to him at the beginning of the semester and be like "Can I do all the work this semester and get credit for it next semester?" haha XD That could have worked. Oh well.
Anyway, this weekend, I'm gonna try to get a bunch of work done. Like three papers. Maybe not XP More like a short paper due on Tuesday. And hopefully get a lot of my two research papers done.
Sometime next weekend, I will try to hang out with Maggie (weekend? We gotta celebrate your birthday). And also with Tuan and Josh (Saw 7!). And with Shiva. She wants to celebrate my birthday :3
OMG, why is it already November? :O And why is it hot in November? Wth? -_- Where are my favorite cold and rainy days?

Halloween fun....
What do I remember from the past week?
...
Last Monday and Tuesday are totally gone from memory.
Wednesday the 27th, I had a midterm in PHIL 57. It was more challenging than I expected XP I forgot something about truth tables and had to go back to fix it. I had thought I would be out after thirty minutes at most, but I ended up spending almost all the class time fixing truth tables -_- How sad.
For QTIP, there was supposed to be a movie (Hocus Pocus) and a potluck. I brought biscotti haha. And a can of Monster, which was Brother's. Mother had wanted to throw it out, but I thought it was a waste. So I brought it to give to someone. Gave it to Rahul. Spent the next fifteen minutes trying to open the can after the tab broke off. Used a pencil, a fork, a paintbrush, and other things. It wouldn't open. How strange. Eventually, Rahul and Shiva pounded a nail into the top of the can twice. White stuff came out o_o Then another guy finally realized that the can didn't have liquid in it; it was a Monster can that was converted into a cannister -_- I thought it was odd that I didn't hear any sloshing. I hadn't really heard of this, so the thought never crossed my mind. But anyway, we destroyed the can, trying to open it haha. Everyone wanted to open it up to see if anything was in there. At first, I refused because it was Brother's. But then I thought it was his fault for leaving the can in the fridge without telling me what it really was. We got it open, and it was empty, except for remnants of weed apparently. Threw away the can and stuff. Went back to the movie. Sadly, I only watched about the first ten minutes of it before I had to leave. Used to love that movie; I'll watch it again sometime on my own -nods-
On Thursday, hmm, my Philosophy of Religion class was talking about reincarnation. When I spoke, I mentioned that one of the writers, who was disputing the Christian notion of resurrection, made me think that her argument could support the higher probability of the existence of zombies than the possibility of Christian resurrection. hahaha zombies XD I can't believe I said that; I can't believe my prof liked my idea and noted it down in her book XD
In Q&A, we had a mummy contest/pageant. That was strange. Though we recycled all the toilet paper, I still think it was a waste. But it was fun, I guess XP Next meeting (this Thursday), Diwali meeting. Festival of Lights? Yeah, it will be interesting...
Mm, Friday morning, I went to the doctor for a check-up. It seems I may have thalassemia o_o Have to get my blood tested sometime this week, probably Friday. Fun.
Anyway, afterward, I went to campus to help Shiva make pumpkin pies for her party. That was fun. Making pumpkin pies is somewhat blargh because you want your food to be good and you don't really know if it will be good.
We also went to BevMo with Marian to buy Buttershot Scnhapps to make butterbeer. Shiva also bought a Japanese beer, Blood, and a mini Bailey's. Back to Shiva's place to finish the pies and prepare for the party.
People who showed up: Marian; Ly and Keith (They left way early); Jay and Veronica (They left early too but later than Ly and Keith); Crystal and Karishma (They left after Jay and Veronica, I think); Craig M; Alisa; Harrison; Jenn; JD (showed up for a lil while, but left to care for a friend at another party); Hannah, Craig R (a guy I hadn't met before), and Luis (They came late, coming off from a shift at Halloween Haunt). I think that was all of us.
I didn't drink much. Some butterbeer (It wasn't as good as last year's probably because the butterscotch schnapps was a different brand); some Bailey's mixed with vanilla extract or something; some Pina Colada that Jenn made. Also tried a bit of Craig M's Blackthorn (fermented apple cider?). That's about it. I didn't drink enough to even get tipsy. Why? Because I realize I do not enjoy alcohol all that much. So I meant when I said I won't drink much if at all at parties from now on. It's just better that way. Besides, even a lil bit of alcohol makes me sleepy XD
Hmm, Craig M had brought his iTouch. Listened to music, some dance and some rock/metal. Interesting mix on Pandora haha. Especially while playing Apples to Apples. So fun XD
Haha at one point, Craig M knocked over all my Skittles XP So sad. Helped him collect Skittles off the carpet. Drinks weren't spilled until the last hour or so of the party XD Well, actually, I guess Sabrina, Shiva's roommate, knocked over her cup of milk or tea or something on the couch before the party started :P But anyway, yeah, sticky.
It was raining outside at 5 in the morning when the last couple of people left. Harrison and Alisa escorted Jenn home because she had to walk over a block. Not safe in downtown, especially at that time -nodnod- Apparently, Harrison ended up sleeping in his SUV for the night XP because he promised Alisa he wouldn't drive home.
Shiva and I wiped down all the surfaces before we went to bed. We were sooo tired x_x
Saturday, some more cleaning. Went to Target with Marian and Sabrina. Back to Shiva's. Didn't really do much. Didn't have the motivation -_- Somehow, we went to bed at 2 in the morning. Sunday morning, I didn't want to get up, even though Shiva was telling me to get up, so that we could study. Got up too late. Mother called around noon, saying she was gonna stop by campus to pick me up /: No studying done this past weekend. My fault, sorry.
Today was all right. Went to PHIL 57 to see if the prof finished grading the midterms, but he hadn't. So I stayed in class, looking up classes I might want for next semester. I get to enroll on November 17, nine days after registration opens :O So early. Must be my prospective senior status. Sweet.
When I went to Shiva's place, we kinda compared classes we wanted. We're probably gonna take our research methods classes together. Maybe Criminology, but the choice of instructors and times suck -_- We'll see what will happen with that. I'm probably gonna take Global Society next semester, since Prof Cox will be teaching all three sections that are offered; well, hopefully, the Sociology department doesn't switch profs around -_-
Oh, and it seems that the majority of Sociology courses offered next semester will be Tuesday/Thursday classes D: So far the three classes I know I want to take for sure are Tuesday/Thursday; two of which are back-to-back. If I decide to take Criminology on TTh, then I'll have four classes back-to-back two days a week, and two free days. Could I survive that kind of schedule? I have no idea. Probably not. That's like six hours of classes with three fifteen-minute breaks in between.
I'm also planning to take an online Philosophy course about computers XD That would be awesome. I wanted to take that this semester, but the class filled up really quickly before I got a chance to sign up. It seems that the prof for the online course is much much better (more helpful) than the other prof who teaches in a classroom.
Also may take an elective instead of Criminology, which I need for my major. Elective for SJSU Studies (The Phil course about computers fulfills one of the electives here). Either Human Sexuality or Sound & Communication.
Or I could take another Sociology course for my major. Quite a list I have: Social Change, LGBT Studies, Socialization & Identity, Sexualities...
So, yeah, four or five classes next semester. If I feel crazy enough, I might go for six. But for now, I'm aiming for five. Can't wait to choose and enroll. Hope I get my first choices.
And whoa, I can't believe there's only about five weeks of classes left and then finals week. So faaast :O Still need to do two research papers and stuff. I mean, my philosophy of religion paper is due the week of Thanksgiving, and two weeks after, it's the last week of classes. Ahhh, I hope next semester doesn't go this fast because I wanna enjoy and savor (haha) Shiva's last semester at SJSU -nodnodnodnod- Happy and sad.....
Mm, oh so there's gonna be two long weekends this month, yay! Veterans' Day weekend and Thanksgiving weekend. Woot woot! haha just thought I'd let you know. Though, I guess I'll have a lot of work to do during Veterans' Day weekend /: But Thanksgiving weekend should be free of most work; I hope so.
Anyway, that's all for now. I'm tired, falling asleep. Should go to bed soon. Hope people vote tomorrow XP Ok, good night!

I hadn't really heard of this, so the thought never crossed my mind. But anyway, we destroyed the can, trying to open it haha. Everyone wanted to open it up to see if anything was in there. At first, I refused because it was Brother's. But then I thought it was his fault for leaving the can in the fridge without telling me what it really was. We got it open, and it was empty, except for remnants of weed apparently. Threw away the can and stuff. Went back to the movie. Sadly, I only watched about the first ten minutes of it before I had to leave. Used to love that movie; I'll watch it again sometime on my own -nods-
On Thursday, hmm, my Philosophy of Religion class was talking about reincarnation. When I spoke, I mentioned that one of the writers, who was disputing the Christian notion of resurrection, made me think that her argument could support the higher probability of the existence of zombies than the possibility of Christian resurrection. hahaha zombies XD I can't believe I said that; I can't believe my prof liked my idea and noted it down in her book XD
In Q&A, we had a mummy contest/pageant. That was strange. Though we recycled all the toilet paper, I still think it was a waste. But it was fun, I guess XP Next meeting (this Thursday), Diwali meeting. Festival of Lights? Yeah, it will be interesting...
Mm, Friday morning, I went to the doctor for a check-up. It seems I may have thalassemia o_o Have to get my blood tested sometime this week, probably Friday. Fun.
Anyway, afterward, I went to campus to help Shiva make pumpkin pies for her party. That was fun. Making pumpkin pies is somewhat blargh because you want your food to be good and you don't really know if it will be good.
We also went to BevMo with Marian to buy Buttershot Scnhapps to make butterbeer. Shiva also bought a Japanese beer, Blood, and a mini Bailey's. Back to Shiva's place to finish the pies and prepare for the party.
People who showed up: Marian; Ly and Keith (They left way early); Jay and Veronica (They left early too but later than Ly and Keith); Crystal and Karishma (They left after Jay and Veronica, I think); Craig M; Alisa; Harrison; Jenn; JD (showed up for a lil while, but left to care for a friend at another party); Hannah, Craig R (a guy I hadn't met before), and Luis (They came late, coming off from a shift at Halloween Haunt). I think that was all of us.
I didn't drink much. Some butterbeer (It wasn't as good as last year's probably because the butterscotch schnapps was a different brand); some Bailey's mixed with vanilla extract or something; some Pina Colada that Jenn made. Also tried a bit of Craig M's Blackthorn (fermented apple cider?). That's about it. I didn't drink enough to even get tipsy. Why? Because I realize I do not enjoy alcohol all that much. So I meant when I said I won't drink much if at all at parties from now on. It's just better that way. Besides, even a lil bit of alcohol makes me sleepy XD
Hmm, Craig M had brought his iTouch. Listened to music, some dance and some rock/metal. Interesting mix on Pandora haha. Especially while playing Apples to Apples. So fun XD
Haha at one point, Craig M knocked over all my Skittles XP So sad. Helped him collect Skittles off the carpet. Drinks weren't spilled until the last hour or so of the party XD Well, actually, I guess Sabrina, Shiva's roommate, knocked over her cup of milk or tea or something on the couch before the party started :P But anyway, yeah, sticky.
It was raining outside at 5 in the morning when the last couple of people left. Harrison and Alisa escorted Jenn home because she had to walk over a block. Not safe in downtown, especially at that time -nodnod- Apparently, Harrison ended up sleeping in his SUV for the night XP because he promised Alisa he wouldn't drive home.
Shiva and I wiped down all the surfaces before we went to bed. We were sooo tired x_x
Saturday, some more cleaning. Went to Target with Marian and Sabrina. Back to Shiva's. Didn't really do much. Didn't have the motivation -_- Somehow, we went to bed at 2 in the morning. Sunday morning, I didn't want to get up, even though Shiva was telling me to get up, so that we could study. Got up too late. Mother called around noon, saying she was gonna stop by campus to pick me up /: No studying done this past weekend. My fault, sorry.
Today was all right. Went to PHIL 57 to see if the prof finished grading the midterms, but he hadn't. So I stayed in class, looking up classes I might want for next semester. I get to enroll on November 17, nine days after registration opens :O So early. Must be my prospective senior status. Sweet.
When I went to Shiva's place, we kinda compared classes we wanted. We're probably gonna take our research methods classes together. Maybe Criminology, but the choice of instructors and times suck -_- We'll see what will happen with that. I'm probably gonna take Global Society next semester, since Prof Cox will be teaching all three sections that are offered; well, hopefully, the Sociology department doesn't switch profs around -_-
Oh, and it seems that the majority of Sociology courses offered next semester will be Tuesday/Thursday classes D: So far the three classes I know I want to take for sure are Tuesday/Thursday; two of which are back-to-back. If I decide to take Criminology on TTh, then I'll have four classes back-to-back two days a week, and two free days. Could I survive that kind of schedule? I have no idea. Probably not. That's like six hours of classes with three fifteen-minute breaks in between.
I'm also planning to take an online Philosophy course about computers XD That would be awesome. I wanted to take that this semester, but the class filled up really quickly before I got a chance to sign up. It seems that the prof for the online course is much much better (more helpful) than the other prof who teaches in a classroom.
Also may take an elective instead of Criminology, which I need for my major. Elective for SJSU Studies (The Phil course about computers fulfills one of the electives here). Either Human Sexuality or Sound & Communication.
Or I could take another Sociology course for my major. Quite a list I have: Social Change, LGBT Studies, Socialization & Identity, Sexualities...
So, yeah, four or five classes next semester. If I feel crazy enough, I might go for six. But for now, I'm aiming for five. Can't wait to choose and enroll. Hope I get my first choices.
And whoa, I can't believe there's only about five weeks of classes left and then finals week. So faaast :O Still need to do two research papers and stuff. I mean, my philosophy of religion paper is due the week of Thanksgiving, and two weeks after, it's the last week of classes. Ahhh, I hope next semester doesn't go this fast because I wanna enjoy and savor (haha) Shiva's last semester at SJSU -nodnodnodnod- Happy and sad.....
Mm, oh so there's gonna be two long weekends this month, yay! Veterans' Day weekend and Thanksgiving weekend. Woot woot! haha just thought I'd let you know. Though, I guess I'll have a lot of work to do during Veterans' Day weekend /: But Thanksgiving weekend should be free of most work; I hope so.
Anyway, that's all for now. I'm tired, falling asleep. Should go to bed soon. Hope people vote tomorrow XP Ok, good night!
