This Is Only Week Two?
July 1, 2008 @ 2:02 am GMT-8
I shouldn’t be typing right now and should instead be getting ready for my long day tomorrow. But I fear that if I don’t post, then I’ll forget and the one after this one will be really long, which can’t happen. Well, it can, but I’d rather it not.
So last you heard from me was Thursday. Nothing too particularly interesting on Thursday. I went to class, then work. I was supposed to meet up with Asian Dude after work, but he had to work on a lab with a partner, so he couldn’t bail out. I know, if he were doing it alone, then he’d be all mine, but since there was someone else, he couldn’t leave.
Friday night, MJ, XG (MJ’s friend), SS, SS’s friend, and I went to a club. It was a Pink and White ball, except about a third of the guests really dressed for the occasion. The club usually hosts a 21+ night, but because of the ball, they made an exception. We got there as soon as it opened for about twenty minutes, the floor was pretty empty as they were checking people in. Eventually the club got full and the music got to pumping and we were just dancing it off. At one point, XG and I ended up dancing on top of a block, above everyone else. It wasn’t high enough to be on a different floor; just a block. At one point, another chick wanted to join us, but since only two were allowed, XG stepped to the side. Before the end of our “dance,” the chick ended up asking me if I liked girls. I told her that I could, but I figured my reaction answered her question. I gotta admit, that was pretty cool as my first lesbian experience. Near the end of the night, I was getting pretty tired. My feet were hurting, the selection of boys/men was devastation (all the cute ones were either not there or taken!), and since people were drunk, it was hard to be in the same place as everyone else. XG and I stepped out early, thinking that it would only go on for another half hour, but it was extended for a full hour. Luckily, we got some food while we waited.
Saturday, I packed my suitcase to go home for the night. My aunt from Vietnam came to visit and I’ve never met her, so I thought I’d come home. I didn’t even know that there was a dinner until my mother called me on Thursday night. My aunt and her husband were pretty alright. I think it was more of a grown-up meeting than a kids meeting. It’s okay though, that’s how it goes with the grown-ups, no? It’s just amusing to me that even though most of us, the cousins that is, are over 18, we’re still seated at the “kids” table. It’s usually because there’s no room at the “grown-up” table and if there is, it’s reserved for the really older kids.
I slept most of Sunday before heading back to town. I just hated the fact that back at home, which is an hour away, it’s nice and warm, but heading back to the college town was completely different. There were smoke and fog everywhere and it was cold too! Stupid weather. I just wish California would stop burning.
Today (Monday for me still), was pretty crappy. Well, the day began kind of okay. I had turned off my first alarm so when the second one went off, the one that would play really loud music, I knew I had to get up. I wasn’t even liking the dream anyway; something about a boyfriend being stupid and me having to console my friend afterward. Everything was fine and dandy until I had to drop off a prescription to the pharmacy before heading into class. I got a call as soon as I reach my hall with the pharmacist telling me that my insurance company was not covering my pills. As soon as I heard that, I tried frantically to remedy the issue. I wasn’t sure of what the real problem was, but anyone I talked to on the insurance side seemed pretty incompetent. I later had to call a different line which provided me with much more service than the insurance side did, so it made my day slightly better. I was still pretty upset though and then I stayed upset at myself for being so upset.
I’m just sleepy now. I ended up spending a few hours with Asian Dude tonight and it was pretty fun. We talked a bit about this and that, comparing our high schools… well, more like having him prove to me that his school was a lot poorer than mine. I didn’t realize that there was such a disparity, but I guess there is.
Tomorrow is a pretty full day for me. I’ve got my PE class, then another class right after. I’ve a small hour break or so, but then I have to show up for a toric lens study (contact lens for those with astigmatism) and that’s going to take about an hour and half, just in time for me to head in straight to work. Basically, I’m going to be gone for about 16 hours tomorrow. Hip hip hooray.



Ooh some other chic tried to take my Maria? Not allowed! I hate that, always getting stuck at the kids table. It sucks when there’s not enough room to sit with the “grown ups”. Wow, good luck with your busy schedule hon! Dooode though so what ended up happening with the insurance? Cause insurance companies are quite incompetent and try to deny coverage when you’re really covered.

Well, there are two different companies that I have to contact. The first was the actual insurance company. They said that the pills needed to be authorized, which is done by another company. After getting frustrated with the first call, I called the authorization line to make sure that I was properly authorized. It turns out that for that particular dosage, I had the authorization set as a one-time only (stupid, I know). After they cleared that up, I called the pharmacy and said it should all be good. However, I needed 33 pills to last until my doctor returns, but the insurance will only cover 30. Luckily, I guess, I skipped a few days and have some here to last. Still though, the whole process really peeves me.
