This Is The Day Before The Paper
Yes, I have a paper due tomorrow. It’s a wonderfully nice paper that I must get an A on or else I will pretty much not pass the class. Luckily, I changed the grading option to Pass/Not Pass, but still… having a “Not Pass” isn’t a good thing to carry on a transcript.
Friday was pretty busy. I woke up at 4am, showered, and then went shopping at Macy’s at 5am. Yes, that early. There are usually quite a bit of women there ravaging the sale racks. I was actually shoved to the side as a woman tried to get to the Coach purses. Crazy shit. I finished getting most of the things I needed to buy for myself and for others. The last thing that I still want is a pair of ankle boots. I was looking for them, but I found a good pair of knee-high boots instead that I love and can’t wait to wear soon. I later met up with a friend, DP and helped him shop for the rest of the day. He’s a friend I met at VSA and we’ll both be on Cabinet next semester. I was done shopping around 11 when I met up with him and then spent the next four hours walking around the mall again.
Afterward, I went home to rest for a few minutes before getting ready for my date (yes, date) with CC. I was really dreading it because I was dead tired from shopping and because I didn’t want him to get the wrong idea. Although it was a little uncomfortable at times, I had an enjoyable time. He took me to a fondue place where we had three different “courses.” First was the cheese fondue. It was alright; not something that I particularly liked a whole lot. The second course was a whole crapload of meat that we needed to cook ourselves. We chose duck, scallops, chicken, venison, shrimp, and calamari. Those were yummy. The last, and my favorite course, was the chocolate fondue. It was delicious.
Saturday was filled with more festivities. I met up with NZ, CZ, and MP for some good bowl of pho (Vietnamese noodle soup). After lunch, CZ and NZ left for a bit while I went to go pick up JYL and her sister. All four of us, JYL, JYL’s sister, MP and I drove around for a bit before returning back to my house while we waited for NZ to come back. Then all five of us went to Downtown San Jose for some good ol’ ice skating. I hadn’t ice skated in a long time, so it was fun. We then had dinner at The Loft. I ordered a piece of chicken, but it was so ridiculously huge that I had a hard time finishing it. JYL and her sister ended up finishing it for me.
NN was supposed to meet up with us afterward, but she bailed. Everybody went their own ways after dinner except for MP and I. We hit up a few bars until her sister picked us up so we could get MP’s car (we were stranded since NZ drove us there). Then we picked up another friend and hit up some more bars. I’m glad I went out so often because I was able to order a few cocktails for us. I like our last bar because there was a small dance floor and by then, I was pretty buzzed. I spotted a relatively cute guy and I guess he got the hint and/or was drunk and horny, so he started to dance with me. It was very short since the bar was going to close soon. I was a little turned off by him because he right away asked me if he could kiss me, asked me for my number, and told me his “high class” profession (financial director) all before he asked me my name. Oh, he also asked for a lunch date for the very next day. I thought that he was reeking of desperation, but since I thought he was a little cute, I gave him my number anyway.
After a long, but very fun day, I passed out.
Today, I got a ride back to Berkeley from DP’s parents. They seem very nice. DP and I went to mass together, had student dinner, and parted ways. Now, I am here. Haven’t restarted on my paper yet, but I don’t plan on sleeping tonight anyway.
———————————————-
Is it weird that I kept talking about EC all last night? I didn’t mean to, but he just kept coming up and throughout the whole holiday break, I kept thinking about him, even when I shouldn’t have been thinking about him. I know that there’s nothing I can do now and that I know that if I start anything with him again, he needs to show me that he’s actually going to make an effort to be with me and not keep it “casual.” But, he’s not. So I need to stop thinking about him or else I’ll do something that I shouldn’t do.
I do miss him though. He may have lacked in a few departments, but overall, I saw myself being comfortable with him.
Maybe in another lifetime.

This Is The Thanks Day
Still on a bit of a rollercoaster, but it’s somewhat manageable now.
I’m at my parents’ for the weekend. I heard back from my mother and she will be coming back tomorrow. I’m happy that she’ll be coming back, but I am still hurt to know that she left in the first place without mentioning anything.
I did very little today. My family doesn’t really celebrate the American holidays too well, so no big feast for us. It was pretty much another day, except a bunch of stores were closed.
Tomorrow morning I plan on venturing out on my traditional Black Friday morning purse shopping at Macy’s. Just need to make sure that I park near the right door in order to get to the good purses right away…
… and I just found out that Macy’s is opening at 5 am this year instead of 6 am like they normally do. FUCK.
Last night… was interesting. Protected coming soon-ish maybe. But it was pretty effin’ fun. I met up with CC and we both just got hella high. It was my first time hitting something like that so hard. Shit was crazy.
I should be working on my paper since I’m gonna have to head to bed soon in order to wake up in time for the damn shopping. Fuck. I was going to assume that they’d open at 6 like they normally do. Good thing I checked or else I would’ve lost one hour of good shopping time. The other bitches would’ve grabbed all the good stuff by then.
