Johnathan (aka "sexy legs") went on a shooting today. He found a disposable camera laying around and decided to shoot everyone. It was quite exciting. ---The highlight of my day. So yes, maybe I should fill you in about my life here at Cal. I haven't really been inspired to write anything. Notice how everything that inspired me before was sad/depressing?...
Living at school is like being at camp all the time. I think it's the bunk beds.
Maybe you have heard about the strike that is going on since yesterday (until tomorrow). Well, my Math discussion was cancelled yesterday and today my Math lecture and Theater class were cancelled as well because of it. In a way it's good because I have more relaxing time. --- In a way it's bad because I could have slept in if I knew sooner. Oh well... So the classes that I have had so far are my Chem lecture and lab and my Plant & Microbial Biology class. Both of which I find somewhat interesting. But, OMGulay....there is so much reading. I guess I must get used to it. Eesh...
Good news: our other roommate arrived last night. She's really nice. Maivi now has phone competition. lol...=>
Now about this weather....I SO thought that it was always cold up here. Apparently it's not. It gets quite hot at times. And I thought SoCal weather was weird.
That's all for now. I hope you all are having a fab time...

genius boy nelson is confused. who is i5n1tw31rd? who is babi3ange7? the nelson may never know.
haha. our suite all got the ethernet/airport working. thus, we are staying online forever!!!! MUHAHAHAH!!! well, not really, but close enough. so back to my nelson story...he lives next door and maivi and i are messing with his head. it's sad. but anyway...today we hiked up to the big C. wuhu! "on our rugged eastern foothills, stand our symbol clear and bold. big C means to fight and strive and win for blue and gold. golden bear is ever watching. day by day he prowls. and when he hears the thread of lowly stanford red, from his lair he fiercely growls! grr-rr-rah, gr-rr-rah, gr-r, r-r-r, r-r-rah." yes, we shouted this from the mountain tops. haha....this was a death hike! (only without luggage!...heehee).
i bought my books today. another death "hike." we had to lug a mess of books up. eesh! we were so tired. i ate so much for dinner--needed the strength. =P
so yes...back to my mini-midnight adventure of torturing nelson....=P g'night ya'll.

you know i'd walk a thousand miles if i could just see you tonight....hmmmm...i've walked the thousand miles...where are you? hmmm???!?!?!
i live in foothill (a residence hall) in the hillside part. it's exactly that....a hill. a very steep hill. it's far from everything. everything being all human life forms. jjust kidding! (haha...omg!--i typed 2 js....haha...anyway-) it's away from the shops and the bart stop and all that goodness. o, and did i mention it's on a really steep hill? =P
but maivi and i have come up with positive aspects of living in foothill:
1. we (hopefully) won't gain the frosh 15. we'll probably loose it. we're gonna be so buff!-in our legs.
2. everything is hella far so we won't want to go out to go somewhere often. thus, we will stay inside and study more.
3. the "gordo" guy from lizzie mcguire lives in foothill-hillside! (well...that's not one of our reasons, but someone told me that and i thought that was cool =>)
raney wants me to write about him...so...um....yay! raney! he's cool. yea....lol. =>
so yea...wireless internet rocks! go airport/ethernet! i actually haven't got my user id yet...i'm using someone elses. so this is really exciting! => our neighbors came over to use my comp a while ago....heehee.

i'm here! OMG---this is crazy. i live AT school! haha....
the room wasn't what we expected it to be...what the virtual tour online "told" us it would be like, but it's liveable. (hey...if i spelled that wrong....blame it on 1410) there's a bunk-maivi n i share it-and a loft...that's jessica's, our other roomie. (she's not here yet, but she seems really nice. her boyfriend was sent here and he dropped off some snacks for us from her. =>) there's lots of closet/drawer space...good stuff!
let's see...actually moving in...we're on the fourth floor...with no elevator...and big, heavy boxes. you can imagine the fun. it wasn't too bad. well, maybe not for me. maybe for my dad. poor daddy, he had to carry my boxes up 3 flights of stairs-twice. =P
the bathroom is decent...one shower, one toilet, and two sinks for 3 girls...pretty nice. hopefully the people from the other half of the suite won't come over and use it. => oh...and there's lots of hot wawa! WUHU!
haha....maivi got scared....there are people outside of our room...we have a balcony! it's coolies! nice windows. oh!-and body length mirrors....that had nothing to do with windows...but um....yea. =>
k well...i'm tired...long day...plus it isn't that interesting. it's really cool to me though. hopefully you all can visit me soon! =>...oh!-and send me snail mail so i feel special! heehee....

something positive happened today: today was amazing...i found a 20 in an envelope...i opened a credit card/checking account...i got paid...and more importantly: i was able to spend time with some of my favorite people! awww...it was great. and i can't help but post this on my blog:
Ermangarde [11:58 PM]: erin, i dont exactly know what to say to you before you leave... i think i'll follow shaz's thing and just say "see you later" in addition to all this mushy stuff i'm about to say: i love you tons, you always found something to laugh about when things were yucky-- you and i laughed a lot, we made a good laughing team... you're so SMRT and so neat o that everything will be ok, you have nothing to worry about this year... i want you to enjoy yourself, ok? don't be blue, just like i said... muah
sorry, katy, if i am exposing you to the public. but it was sweet...and i just had to. muah to you too!
hmmm...maybe i'll "be" asian and do some shout outs...=>
to the other me...the frack that completes the frick...AHHHH---no one will ever you replace your frackness up north. i'll miss you this much!
to my one n only...you know...i told you this before...but i'll say it again...hugs n kisses for 3 months!
to the ng: "if we fail, we fail together"...so....don't any of you fail your classes so i won't either! haha......i love you guys...err....girls!!
to everyone: "see you later"...heehee....much mahal!

wow! i haven't blogged in a while. i guess there hasn't been much inspiration. but then i was reading my friend's blog and how he commented on how it[his blog] was getting "sadder and sadder" and that he hoped "something positive would happen tomorrow." maybe this, too, is my mindset. maybe nothing "positive" has happened and thus i have nothing to write about. maybe i am at my ultimate low. but that doesn't make sense! i've been hanging out with friends all week and it's been nothing but joyous! then again, perhaps i have come to the realization that all 1, 850, 291 NG(&co) moments (and counting) have to come to somewhat of a halt...that all the "quality time" i spend with justin will be restricted to just online and, occassionally, phone conversations...that my parents won't be there if i need them-like when i'm in dying need of some good homecooked filipino food...that i'll be so lost without my youth group at the umc up north...maybe something positive will happen tomorrow.

sand where it's not suppose to be: a day at the beach.
what could be more fun than burying joey in the sand? or making seaweed anklets? or pretending that the lifeguards are on baywatch when they run?...
i realize today how much i will truly miss my friends when i'm off at college. i almost cried in the car. i have so much fun when i'm with them. i feel so relaxed...and if we're stressed, we calm each other down. that, or freak out together. -cause we're nerd girls..."if we (blank), we (blank) together"...-i guess this is what we will soon call "the good ol' days" =>

WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....please?
posted by erin on 9:50:00 PM
so i'm cleaning/packing/sorting things in my room. it seems that i'm packing too much. but i don't want to be naked at school. i guess it would be normal though....berkeley....lol. i learned how to import songs into my ibook today. i was so excited. i don't have to bring a boxload of cds with me now. => as i was doing this i came across a vanessa carlton song i hadn't heard in a while called "pretty baby"....it's kinda sad...but it has a cute line...it goes "pretty baby don't you leave me...i have been saving smiles for you"...isn't it great? and then it made me think about justin.....but then again.....everything reminds me of him....but anyway....then i started thinking about what jazz said last night...so it made me want to talk to him...so i did. i felt way better afterwards. i know he probably gets annoyed when i "complain" to him...or maybe he doesn't...whatever...all i know is that it feels good to get it out of my head and into his. he's so understanding...lisa was right...i snagged myself a winner...even though she meant that sarcastically. =>

yesterday was my last day of work. exciting ain't it? i'm so relieved. ---even though i didn't do much. i actually realized the importance of my project/work though...it only took me 7 weeks to finally get it. but hey...at least i got it.
yesterday i also realized that i am a very confused individual...but it's ok...cause i'll always have jazz! =D yes...we were born connected at the brain...so we live each others lives. => heehee...good night/morning.

so with that "learning thing"......i feel accomplished.....i learned to make a comments section on this blog. thanks katy!

oooh...ahhh....my blogger got fixed. now you all think i'm weirder than normal. well....it's my last day of work and i think i'm done with everything...but i dunno. i'm just sitting here waiting for my supervisor to come back from harvesting (a nicer way of saying "killing") mice. we're going out to lunch after....but BOO---i don't like being the only "youngin" at lunch and stuff. oh well....so yea....that nobel prize winner guy yesterday....:::yawn:::...i mean...he was kinda interesting.-emphasis on 'kinda'... i totally respect him for being so hella smart, but then after while i got lost in all the big words. i mean....he was talking about fruit flies....drosophila? (katy? shaz?) how interesting can that get?
posted by erin on 11:54:00 AM
fudgers!...as jazzy would say. why did my blog entry post twice? .....maybe the bloggerworld's people felt that it was a very important entry...=>anywho...i'm off to listen to a past nobel prize winner give a talk....how exciting!!!!

today i realized that i have so much to learn in life. i wish i had paid more attention in my classes in high school and not just try to retain information for tests. i have realized i have "wasted" 4 years of my life. i know that i have had great life experiences during those four years and i wouldn't give them back for anything...but i think i could have done much more...learned much more. like physics...THAT was a complete waste of my time....but then it did give me more time to be active with leadership. so i guess it had it's good side. i guess what i'm trying to say is that in college i want to actually LEARN and RETAIN information. even if it seems pointless...like math equations or whatever...it's knowledge!--and it shouldn't be just something I just learn for tests and then forget. what am i suppose to tell my kids (yes, i did say "MY" kids) when they're going to school?-that their mom was a lazy at-money-money? yea...maybe i'm "overly thinking"...again...but as I was looking at the poster presentation at work today and saw how students could retain so much information on their project and explain it to people, i found that to be one of the most brilliant things ever. I want to be able to do that....to be able to teach someone how to do something if they don't know...or even just to share with them if they don't necessarily want to know. ok...so maybe now it sounds like i want to be a teacher...I THINK NOT. not professionally at least. ...i'm getting off topic...so yea....i want to know stuff...just to know it. maybe i can be on jeopardy or something one day. hmmm...so...note to self: pay attention.

let's see...today wasn't really productive. i went to church and sat in a meeting. it was really boring, but my presence was appreciated, so i guess that was kinda good. when i got home i onlined the day away. i'm SO hooked on spider solitaire....thanks justin! => i guess i should write my paper for work now. (yay.) hey!---this is my last week of work! WUHU!!!!
posted by erin on 8:01:00 PM
WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!---i'm soooo still on a rollercoaster. i'm dizzy. haha....six flags kicked at-money-money. i went with the summer students from work. it was crazy.....i hadn't been there in 4 years so everything was practically new to me. DEJAVU rocks.......highly recommend it.....heehee...OMG----and Joooooon----you're so right. THE best funnel cakes! -with tons of powdered sugar! mmmm.....delish! so yea...that was my day.
