good nothing day

today i woke up at 4:45am to watch a soccer game. you may not think so, but it was worth it. great game. after the game ended i went back to sleep for a couple hours.

The majority of the day was spent reading for my classes. When it came around to dinner time, we couldn't decide what to eat so we rode the bus going anywhere just hoping to see something that caught our eye. we got off on fillmore and just walked blocks and blocks with no luck. Everything looked really nice and too expensive. We finally made our way all the way to in-n-out, so we were hungry enough to just settle for that.

After that Pat and his berkeley friends, doug and sam, came to the city and we hung out for a little bit.

Pat forgot his wallet i my place so i might go over tomorrow bring it to him and watch the US vs Canada hockey game.

When i look up at the moon it makes me feel like i'm not so far from everyone. It's peaceful feeling.

friends

Hey, so once again, its been a while now. I had friends come to town for a little over a week. needless to say, it was super fun. We did and ate so many things. Just to name a few things we did: a really awesome scavenger hunt type thing, GIANT pillow fight, chinese new year in china town, and plenty of new and good food. However, after all these good times we were unfortunately brought back to reality to find out during the pillow fight, someone stole angela's ID, bus pass, cellphone, and my camera (so no more pictures). It was a bummer. Someone did find angela's ID on the ground and mailed it home. So luckily we got that back, but that's all.

Also, since the past few weeks have been so action packed, i hadn't much time for school. So the past few days, i've been catching up with all the work i needed to be doing.

Another bummer is that my professor that i have for 3 classes, got sick and needed her appendix removed. She won't be back until March 15th. I'm not sure what's going to happen until then. Probably a lot of videos and a substitute. That really sucks. oh well, what am i to do?
Everything else is fine but i miss everyone!

PILLOW FIGHT SAN FRANCISCO 2010:

park

this is kinda old news now, but i've just been busy with school stuff getting ready for my friends this weekend and next week.

but on super bowl sunday i rode my bike to the park where there was a bbq. They somehow had set up a tv in the middle of the park. there was tons of chicken and plenty of beer. We played touch football and watched the game on a beautiful clear day. it was probably my best super bowl day. it was amazing. The coolest part is i didn't know any of these people, but they were friendly enough to let me partake in everything they had.

This week my friends will be up here and so i will hopefully have lots of stories and pictures to come. Later!

busy weekends

the next couple weekends are going to be busy. Next weekend is simone and pat's birthdays. Jon, Hollyn, Chelsea, Ryan, and Julia are coming up to celebrate. it should be pretty fun and i am really excited.
The weekend after that jonathan gerrard is going to try and come up. That will be super fun too. Lots to explore in this city.
the bummer part about all that is, school doesn't cater to my schedule. So, i am going to read and work my butt off this week and try and get ahead of the game that way i can enjoy the weekends and not have to worry about studying while i'm hanging out with my friends.

the list of things i want to do today seems long:
read for my classes
bike ride
shower
grocery shop
clean the house
oh, and watch the super bowl!

I think those things just sounded like a lot more in my head.

MODEL celebration

On friday, the program that i intern for, had a celebration. it was planned to thank all the mentors that volunteer with the kids. Mentors come in and work one on one with the kids for about an hour a week. I, however, supervise the REST of the kids two days a week! So, MODEL was nice enough to thank me with a certificate and a $20 gift card to the movies. It meant a lot and i truly appreciated it. There was a buffet of food and a live band. It was fun, and ofcourse free food is always awesome.

I really like all my classes, but feel the introduction-type lectures are dragging on, and i want to get deep into the material already! i feel like every psychology class, no matter what it is, covers the exact same stuff about research and the scientific method for the first few lectures.

Here is the certificate and picture they gave to us at the celebration:
