This past week or so has been really crazy! Well, it felt like it was going by slowly.... but it went by quickly enough, now that I look back on how much has happened.
On Saturday, Jan. 8, I had some driving-around-in-circles time in a parking lot near my house, successfully parallel parking but still failing in perpendicular. I would like to say that I hopefully have improved. XD After, with Wiimotes and sliced banana creme loaf in hand from Foodland, I made my way over to Briana's house, and, though uncertain about where I was turning or where I was headed, arrived safely, in time to join the videogame dance party. It was a pleasant mishmash of dancing, and exercising, and acting silly, and petting dogs, and sneezing a lot. We got lunch at the shopping center (yay mahi sandwich and Jamba with immunity boost >_>) and then spent a good part of the afternoon at the Wii (monkey ball darts.... too difficult!), and danced our butts off for Phoebe to see over vidchat. It was quite hilarious, and great bonding time. But then then went off to CPK and I went home, sigh. ^^;; Exciting day, however.
Sunday, Jan. 9th was back to the dorms for the beginning of spring semester, yeah! I dragged all my stuff back, and then went on a calming adventure to Ala Moana Beach with Annie and Megan, where we only went into the water up to a little above our knees, took bunch of pictures, buried Annie's limbs in the sand, and all laid on our backs and read like the silly dorks we are. The water was nice and cool, and not that rocky, but the sun was pretty bright, so the books shielded our faces, haha. Being back on that beach reminded me of the end of summer. Good times.
We didn't know if our meal cards were working or not, so we went and ate at the Jade Dynasty newer dim sum place at Ala Moana, which was decided by the flip of a coin. Kind of not so good an idea. We did get food, but even more than that, Annie got irritated at the poor service (I mean.... it was kind of bad.), and then there was a scene in which Annie spoke to a guy in Chinese and he gave a kind of defeated/irritated look and said "Sorry I don't speak Chinese," shortly after which Megan laughed, and I kind of did as well, and it was just terrible, poor guy, but poor service. I don't know. It was an adventure, at the very least. It doesn't hurt to try...
Our start of the semester floor meeting was that evening, as well. We played a game to learn about/demonstrate knowledge about each other, which kind of involved a lot of cheating, haha. Well, my group cheated. >_> It was interesting, though, and the actual meeting part actually passed by pretty quickly.
MONDAY marked the first day of spring semester. It was a familiar situation in CHEM 273 as it was very much like last semester in 272. There was review of last semester's final exam and I felt panicky because 1) I did not remember what I put down for anything at all, and 2) I think I made all the mistakes we were supposed to try to avoid. =_= No wonder. That very first class of the semester already made me feel like cram study reviewing all over again.
PHYS 170 was SOOOOOO packed. I saw familiar faces (whom I did not sit with, though), and I found the professor funny, especially with his talk of Black Forest Cake. I'm glad that the class seemed to be like review, or rather, what we were covering should have been review.
SPAN 201 was a very small class, and we all gravitated to the edges of the room like there was a big gaping hole in the middle, and if we didn't press to the sides of the room we would fall in and die. Our professor is very bubbly and enthusiastic and I like that because it diffuses all awkwardness. Though she seems to tune into pop culture a lot. I'm glad I could understand when she switched into Spanish mode, but then when we looked through the grammar guides... I realized I lack completely in distinguishing ability between all the subjunctive, and many other tense for conjugation.
ANTH 152A: the professor is awesome. He's dorky, but awesome and enthusiastic, and culture and humanity is definitely.... a cool focus for a course, with him. This class kept me riveted and thinking.

As I finally get around to posting this, I realize that it's been forever since I last posted, and there has been so much that has passed. I'm sorry Blogger, for not taking my sweet time with you. Chem lab and Physics lab are yet to be covered in my details about college life, but for now.... I'll just list a few happenings of the past few weeks and I must then leave as I have a lot of things to.... catch up on.
- Watched the Green Hornet (loved this movie)
- nerf gun chases (painful...)
- Curry House (yum, haha)
- driving at night
- driving and going to eat shave ice
