Today was a long azz day for me. It's my busy day at school. Why, oh, why did I pile all my classes (or the bulk of 'em) in one day? And not only that- why am I taking what I'm taking? Sheesh. I'll be glad when it's all over.

Anyway, so I come home, flip on the TV. And what's this I see? All this September 11th crap. Sorry- not interested. So, I turned to Telefutura. There, they were showing a Venezuelan game show called "Aprieta y Gana". That's what I'm talking about. Although I didn't actually watch it. And then Mexican soccer came on. And I'm no sports fan, but it was better than listening to Bush.

But I went into the kitchen to fix me some eatins'. Wanted to use up some o' my food before it went bad. (Won't even tell you what those ingredients were! lol) I made some soup. Wasn't very good, but still edible. But man- what a difference a little cilantro and green onions can make! I made some fake pho. Okay, so it was nothing like pho. I didn't even have half the stuff you need for it. But whatever.

I went to a museum with JP and Jeannie this weekend. It was modern art and sculptures. It was alright. This one exhibit they had was freaky! Some sculptures on loan from the Australian museum had these life-like figures. Creepy stuff... And it was a beautiful day. We've been having some pretty great weather these days. Then soon it'll be autumn and all the leaves will fall. It'll be cold and windy. And sometimes rainy. But that means winter is coming and I can get my tail the hell out of this country! Yay! But I'm getting ahead of myself. Heh...

So, anyway... after the museum, I showed JP how to get to this one Vietnamese spot. We ate at this one restaurant then went next door to get some bubble tea. Well, I didn't have any. I was pretty full from the restaurant. I was thinking as we were arriving at this Vietnamese plaza, "it would be funny if I saw Tammy here." And sure enough, while we were at the bubble tea place, a girl enters the store and we're all staring and squinting at each other. She goes, "Sheena?" I go, "Tammy?" hehe.. Then it was a hug and a buncha giggles and what not...

I also went out with some grad students Friday night. We went to the harbor and it was nice. Still the pleasant weather, lots of people. I saw some people from my undergrad. I got the attention of one and started talking to him. Funny how I'll talk to people I never talked to before just because I encounter them in a new and separate setting.

Speaking of talking to people you never talked to before... Today, after one of my classes, one of my classmates approaches me. When I first saw him the first day, I thought he looked familiar, but I simply could not place his face. I later resolved that he was in one of my classes from one of the two previous semesters. Turns out, he went to my alma mater and that's where I had a class with him! He had recognized me. Funny, we both give credit to the one professor we both had for getting us into our grad school programs.

I was hatin' on one of my friends last week. I was talkin' to Nadine last week, reminding her that Enrique Iglesias would be in town. Do you know this girl told me how this one guy (that one of our classmates tried to hook her up with) called her up and was like, I've got an extra ticket to the Enrique concert if you wanna go... WHAT?!?! Why didn't he call me up? And what the hell is a guy doin' goin' to an Enrique concert? Geez... Anyway, I'm over it. I got my own Spaniard anyhow... Syke.

Okay... what should I do? I'm gonna try to be more productive with my school work. I don't wanna go through the panic phases right before my mid-terms or whatever. Wow. This is gonna be, like, the first time I actually have mid-terms. I had mostly papers last school year.

I think I'll work on some Arabic right now while I watch TV or listen to some music. Until next time...
