This Is Only Week Two?
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.

This Was When I Walked
In the last two days, I have walked around so much. On Tuesday, I met a girl while waiting in line to get my (legit) bus pass. I noticed that she was new (the map gave it away), so I offered to hang out with her so she could get to know the city a bit. She called me later that day and suggest we hang out on Wednesday.
I met up with her, MJ, and then we went to San Francisco to go shopping. She was planning to go today, but she would’ve gone alone and I don’t think it’s that much fun. It’s fine to go shopping once you know the place and are comfortable enough to walk around like so, but if not, then it’s better to go with someone, right? Anyway, we walked around so much! We went through all four floors of the shopping mall (there are eight, but the last four are for one department store). I bought quite a few things since almost all of the stores are having a sale right now. I bought shoes! I know, I know, I have a lot, but these are different, I swear! I met up with her at noon and after we were done with everything, I finally got back to my apartment at 10pm! I know, that was a lot of shopping in one day!
Today, I met up with her again and my other friend, JYL, to get a manicure and pedicure. It was a good experience. I really like the salon that I go. They’re very nice and very friendly. The woman who does my nails does a really good job. I also like that she cuts a lot of my extra skin. MJ wanted to go and get other stuff done, so after that, we split. JYL and I went down another street to do some window and grocery shopping. There was a nice windbreaker that I found, but I don’t know if I want to pay for it. It’s really nice and it would be perfect for these chilly summer nights, no? Well, I know where it is and where I can find it if I want to go back.
Tomorrow is Friday and I don’t know what I’m doing yet besides work and seeing my doctor. He wants me to look into getting school insurance since my dad’s insurance is going to run out soon (they only cover 45 sessions a calender year and I’m almost done with them all). I did look into it and the school insurance would cover 80% of the cost ($110), but I don’t know if it’s worth the money. I mean, sure, I’d save a lot of money still since the insurance is about $640 for the semester, but I don’t really know. It’s a lot of money to spend still and since insurance isn’t going to cover any tuition fees next year, I don’t want my dad to pay for it, you know?
Anyway, I should go. I want to upload the new theme on my main site.
