Class has gone rather well and life is good.
Kait was home for a bit, that made me so happy.
Babysitting was nice and chill, then Josh came over, then Kait came over. Luke hadn't gone to the bathroom for many hours but he said he didn't want to go...at one point Kait was tickling him on the floor and the rest of us (except Josh) thought he may have hit his head on the floor but apparently he had peed on the floor by accident from all the tickling. Luke was so embarrassed and upset that he was crying...then he went to Josh to get picked up and be comforted. That was just tooo cute. Then Luke started throwing airplanes at Kait again and she would pretend to get injured a lot which made Luke very happy so he felt better about having had an accident. I have the best friends lol.
Went to Jenn,V, and some girls 21st bday party for a bit last night but it was more like making an appearance than anything as it was too crowded. Afterwards we played Apples to Apples and played with Sparta. I've had nice chill evenings even with random visitors in the room randomly and staying over the past couple of weeks, lol.

Interesting first day.
Sunday night: puked my guts out into the morning. Josh took care of me. I was a total mess.
walked back to campus with Josh.
forced myself to take a shower and nearly passed out.
tried to drink more liquids.
threw that up.
barely made it to my seminar class.
Jonesy began to walk me to the health center as well as her friend...then we bumped into Brit. Then Jonesy and Brit carried me for a bit...then Jonesy gave me a piggy back all the way to the health center. I was seriously about to either throw up or pass out as it was.
The doctor was nice and gave me a prescription for nausea. I forget what this is called but it's like stomach-flu. Brit then took me to Kroger to fill the prescription and get me some food that I may be able to eat. I haven't been able to keep anything down but I think today is much better...I've slept all afternoon and night...
I've just e-mailed my professors for today informing them that I may not be in class today. Even if I don't throw up I may pass out from not eating for so long. Gah.
I have the best friends in the world.

Who needs pay-per-view?
Yesterday was a very good day. I didn't get much sleep and woke up rather early to finish packing. Then I went over to Josh's to pick him up to help me move in. He had apparently thought I had already finished moving in...yeah, that wasn't gonna happen. It was a rather slow morning (at least I was very slow) but I am very excited that Iori lives in this building too! Hopefully I'll get to see him relatively frequently as a result. Carrie made quite a first impression on him, sharing how her little brother got swine flu.
We had lunch with Fei and Seth at the Oxford Diner which is actually a cute little place with good food. Fei and Seth didn't eat but they enjoyed themselves anyway...
"Who needs pay-per-view when you can have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Feier and Josh!"
Josh and I just really enjoy eating good food, it cannot be helped :).
Afterwards we had an adventure to the Outlet Mall. "Josh, do I turn right at CVS?" "Sure"...yeah, that wasn't right. we went very far out of the way until I was like..."I don't think we're supposed to be in fairfield" after my confusion of "why are we on dixie highway?" to which I got "Route 4 goes through a lot of different roads"
Josh is good at a lot of things...but navigating on highways/roads for longer distances is not one of them :). It's all good though because it was fun, even though Fei has a bit of a temper on the road with her lack of patience (she is totally aware of this and I must love her for it).
The mall itself was alright, it was as expected because there wasn't anything new from last time. I am very excited that I got a raincoat from Columbia though! for like 26$ or something. It is pretty nice...and green. I don't need to do any major shopping right now anyway because I still have 2 dresses and 1 shirt I have not worn yet. I need to get through those, but when??? they are very pretty though, especially the newest dress <3.
Then we had dinner at Golden Dragon but I wasn't particularly hungry at this point, just exhausted. The others most definitely enjoyed their food to the point that they were overly-full, especially Fei who totally couldn't walk very fast.
Um...then we explored the Dollar store, or whatever it was called next to it and that was an adventure in itself.
To end the night we just chilled at Fei's, watching bits of Planet earth, playing with kitty, and talking.
It was a good day/night.
Then Josh took me back to Bishop and not long afterwards Carrie and her friend Al came. They are rather entertaining. I didn't fall asleep til late though.
Now I've been awake for like an hour and I can't seem to fall back asleep. That's the trouble with sleeping somewhere new...I can't sleep very well for a while.
EEEH, today will probably be a busy day too! I need to get my textbooks, and go to wal-mart...having lunch with Edwina though...and I'll figure the rest out. Hm...I should also put away these books and stuff in my room!
PS
1) i love AC
2) convocation went alright with discussion
yay

One step closer and it has been a good day!
Yayyy!
Lazed around/packed/played with Luke for the first half of the day.
Then I picked up Josh and moved majority of my stuff to my new dorm (3rd floor) where I met my new roomie (Carrie) and her parents :). They're pretty cool as far as I can tell! and we have matching bedding. I'm hoping for a good year with her.
Afterwards, Josh and I went to movie gallery and rented ... I forget what it is called and I am too lazy to go downstairs and get it. I am pooped. Wait, I looked it up online, it's called Musa the Warrior. Good movie. It was REALLY long though and halfway through Luke got antsy and wanted to play. So we had this game goin on (we play this a lot at home) and introduced it to Josh (who enjoyed it). Essentially Luke is upstairs (usually by himself, or with somebody else) and the person at the bottom of the stairs throws up these balls up there and he chucks them back. Tonight was more like war because the boys ganged up on me and they'd scheme ways to pelt me with them. I did get Luke with them a few times, not fully intentionally...I was hoping he'd attempt to catch them. It was entertaining, especially when Josh would sneak up on him and do silly things. Then we finished the movie after persuading Luke that everybody is tired and we should finish it. Luke watched practically the whole movie! and it was like 136 minutes long. All complicated, bloody, detailed, and...awesome.
Took Josh home and now I'm here.
Note: Luke has been good ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT. And he keeps on following me around everywhere because he knows I've been packing and he knows I'll be leaving. Aw, he is the Cutest.
It's been an awesome day and I am very happy :)
I should sleep soon...tomorrow I have a meeting in the morning...and it's freshman move in day so I'd like to TRY and find a parking spot. whoaaa.

Overbearing
Responses to Attention: Overbearing Asian Parents && Attention: Overbearing Asian Parents.
A few key tidbits.
Traditional Asian Parenting Style:
Traditional Asian parenting style dictates that children should be blindly obedient and unflinchingly respectful to their parents. For these parents, any amount of expressed dissent is tantamount to intolerable disrespect. It seems to me that depriving kids of the opportunity to express their feelings in a comfortable environment is a great detriment to their chances of thriving as adults in a competitive world where they need to speak up at times without fear of reprisal.
...
Overwhelming parental pressure to excel academically, combined with a culture that discourages open communication about one's feelings, leads to kids bottling up their pent-up frustrations and resenting their parents.
...
great. I am not going to get into the details of my day in regards to the article. It was not fun and I am now worn out with not as much productivity to show for it as I'd have liked.
It's not always bad, but there are times when I just can't take it anymore. Sigh.
Essentially the day went like this:
~Work was gross (cleaned out the trailer at the ERC which had like dead things in it and mouse poop)...and we inhaled a lot of cleaner as a result. But, then work got better because it was relatively social!
~Sara came with me to Wal-Mart which was somewhat entertaining.
~Then I picked up Allie H. and Laura met us up at the Princess to watch The Time Traveller's Wife (which wasn't particularly good...more confusing than anything else).
~It got a little tense at times in regards to the people dynamics but it is not appropriate to go into it here.
~I am tired and sad that I just don't have the time this week. People probably think I'm deliberately avoiding them but I honestly do not have the time this week and I'm overwhelmed enough as it is with other things preoccupying my mind.
I repeat: I have no interest in going to a Reds game in the near future. I haven't the last couple of times this summer and my decision has not changed nor do I even have the time. As it is I'm already getting nagged about how I'm not being more useful at home as if I just sit around and do nothing because I'm just THAT "lazy." OMG.
Feier is tired of being stressed and pulled around. I need to get stuff done, fine. Now, I'd like room to breathe.
For now though...I've decided I'll take it easy because I can no longer concentrate. I'll get stuff done soon though...I sure hope so...because there is less and less time the more things keep on getting in the way and causing more stress and wasting more time.
Goodnight :)
P.S.
I am very excited about my new flat iron and redken spray stuff. It's pretty quick "casual" curls, not crunchy at all, and a lot of fun :). Looking forward to more hair-fun this school year...I mean, I should with all the random hairstyling equipment I have at this point...geeeez. Playing with my hair is one way I calm myself when I am really stressed out...that and cleaning or being productive (but that is not always a sure pick-me-up).

Cocaine and strippers
So I'm at work and we are discussing the traces of cocaine on money. so...like 90% of US bills have traces of cocaine, and nearly all of the bills in major cities have traces. Also, we discussed how the 5,10,20 dollar bills would be more likely to have traces (given the expensive nature of it)...then Sara pointed out something... "Well, the one dollar bills have been down strippers pants"...
Yeah...
haha.
Yeah...
haha.

Work was good...not particularly productive due to the circumstances of everybody in the lab talking a lot as a lot was going on. We have a new grad students so I spent some time to get to know her and she's pretty cool! It'll be nice to have a bit of a change in the room, liven the dynamics up a bit. It's just been a good day so far really.

Me: I can't handle myself. Hyper.
Josh: Be a little teacup, they have handles.
I must say I was very amused...it might have been due to the caffeine+sugar that super-saturates the Mountain Dew I ingested.
After work I finally returned the library books of the constellations and went to Wal-Mart to do school shopping. yay. I feel so ready! apart from the actually packing part...which I probably won't actually do until I move some stuff Wednesday I'm not even sure how much I want to work Wednesday and Thursday. Hm... Oh well. I've nearly finished my to-do list for tonight so that makes me happy. I love being productive, or at least feeling so.
Countdown: 5 days til official Move-In day and the WEEKEND!
P.S. This is CUUTE:
Zonkey? "Heep-Heep-Hawwww" ???
And Zorse exists too (Zebra+Horse): "Ney-Hey-Eep!"???
hehe(textsfromlastnight.com)
(813): i woke up with someone drivers licenses in my wallet this am...he said i don't have a business card so just take my drivers license
