Happy Halloween!

Everyone’s getting dressed up to go out, and I feel so bummed cos I don’t have a costume. Mehhhh. I’m still probably head on to Franklin St (where the party is at!) and check out the festivities. Should be interesting. Heh heh.

I’ve slept waaay too much this weekend. I dunno; I’ve felt lethargic this entire week. I hate it; makes me feel supremely unproductive. I have a paper due on Tuesday, which I know is gonna be a major stress factor for me tomorrow. Oyyyy.

I got back my mid-term for my Western Civ class on Friday. To my pleasant surprise, I got an A-. I was like, “Whaaaaat?”. I thought I bombed cos I didn’t have enough time to write a substantial essay and what I did write I felt wasn’t good enough. But apparently the prof thought differently. Well, I’m not complaining. And I guess that studying over AIM with YKW did help me out after all. Heehee. ;)

Thanksgiving is coming up pretty soon. Need to make plans ASAP. We were thinking of going to Miami, but since air tickets are gonna be expensive, I don’t how feasible (in terms of money) that’s gonna be. Butttt… Miami! That would rock.

Still need to haul ass to Wilmy. Damnit. I can’t believe that I’ve been here 2 months and I haven’t been there! Geeez.

Umm… what else has been happening? We’ve got a K-team performance on Wednesday, which should be fun. The first of many performances. Wooo! I’m excited about that.

Oh oh, we beat MIAMI! Daaaaamn, that was good. 31-28- a field goal with like 4 sec before the end. (I’m talking about football, by the way). Miami was unbeaten yo and Carolina hasn’t beaten a Top 5 team is like… eons. So it was a sweet sweet victory. And during Homecoming, which happened to be Halloween-weekend too. Heh. It was craaazy. I shoulda gone to the game. Blaaaah. Instead I watched it on tv at the Union, where I was reading. Boring.

I can’t wait for basketball season to start.

And now, I need to find a suitably appropriate outfit to wear out. Heh.

I bought shoes (heels, actually) when Aishah and I went shopping at Southpoint last Friday. Yes, we shop a lot. It’s an effing addiction yo. LOL. I have this sick obsession with Hollister. It’s like I walk into the shop, and I wanna buy something. Daaaang. And there’s this gorgeous pair of jeans on display there… and I swear, I’m gonna try it on one of these days and if they fit good, I might just buy them.

Aishah, evil girl that she is, has gotten me addicted to the toiletries from Victoria’s Secret. I like Secret Crush. Heh. Love the scent.

Anyway. I wore the shoes today for the first time. Biiiiig mistake. Huge. Monstrous. I walked to my morning class and by the time I arrived at Wilson (the building where the lecture is held), my left heel was hurting like hell.

Hello blister! Grrrr. Put a band-aid on it to stop the friction but the damage was already done. Damnit. And then another blister formed on my right toe. (On a slightly unrelated note, YKW was late to class and he sat himself next to me. Heh.)

So, dance tonight was slightly uncomfortable at times. Especially when the band-aid on my heel decided to unstick itself. That hurt yo.

As usual, dance was good times. I’m really enjoying myself. *grin* I got on the co-ed dance that’s set to “Move Somethin’”, which I’m really excited about. I was so psyched about that. :) We learnt new choreography to “Rock Ya Body”, which is so so awesome. It is gonna be one hella hot dance when it’s all put together. Hee. It’s difficult but it looks really good.

I’m feeling so hype about our upcoming performance. (I swear, I never used to say “hype” before but I hear it all the time here!) We are gonna kick so much ass. LOL. I’m exciteeed. Our big performance is for Journey Into Asia (which is an ASA production), where all the choreography we’ve learnt will be used. It’s gonna be good.

And now, I need sleeeeep. I have to wake up at 7am. Sigh.

Damnnnn. I finally finished that damned letter at like 3.30pm just now. It was crappy yo. So I went to hand it in, and Dr. Brooks, the prof, was in his office, talking to someone. When he saw it was me, he said he wanted to have a word with me, and I was like, “Shit. What did I do?”. And then he says that he was upset I wasn’t in class today (I skipped all my classes today. Bad bad student) cos he felt that the opinion of a non-American would have been interesting. The topic was (weirdly enough) the significance of toys, in particular war toys like guns and such, and whether people perceive America as an aggressive society. And then he said that it would have been nice for me to be there and listen to the discussion, even if I didn’t have anything to contribute.

And I feel so incredibly guilty. I felt like I let him down or something. Eeek. It’s probably b’cos he let me into the class, even though enrollment was closed. Gaaaah. I feel bad. I’m gonna make en effort to participate in the next class.

The reason it took me so bloody long to write the letter (besides the fact that I really didn’t know what to write!) is those evil dance videos. Yes, they are evil. Cos they have this evil power that makes me rewatch them over and over and over again. It’s sickkkk, but I can’t help it. Hahahaha.

Anyway. After a looong time of uploading on my part, Meichan managed to download both clips and gave me her opinion on it. Heh. That was fun.

So, if anyone’s interested in seeing the Hotness that is Kamikazi (heehee), the clips are here. And, I’m the tall girl wearing white. Heh. Any guesses as to which one is YKW? ;) Heh.

Oh, and I also put up a bunch of pics a few days ago. Photos from DC, the Carolina/State football game and bowling were posted. Fun times. Heh.

So, the letter exercise that’s due tomorrow, the one on a topic of national security- I’m drawing a total blank. I have no friggin’ idea what the heck to write about. Oh damnit. This is like the most difficult 200-250 words to write. Grrrr.

I feel like skipping my morning class tomorrow. I haven’t skipped any of that class yet. Hmmm. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow morning. Heh.

Aishah passed me the video clip of the freestyle…. and ohholycrap, GUH. That’s all I have to say. He is so so damn good; it just blows my mind away. And the damned video clips are on repeat and I’ve been watching on and off alllllll night. Oy. *headdesk*

I am so completely crazy over him and these videos are just not helping at. all. OMG. This is hopeless. Hope-less. I’m such a goner.

Blaaaaaaah. I need to BS my way through 250 words. Can’t that be that difficult right? Right.

The performance at the Pit today was awesome. It was hype yo. We got a pretty good crowd. :)

Aishah hauled ass from her class (she really did, cos I usually have to wait like 10 min before she emerges. hahahah), just so she could watch the perf and video it for me. Awwww. Now that’s friendship. Hee. God bless video capabilities in digital cameras. Heh. Aishah managed to get most of the performance before my memory card ran out. Heh. And she got some of the freestyle stuff on her cam. So…. yay! Dance footage!

So now I’ve been obsessing over the video. Guh. YKW is hotness when he’s dancing. Mmmm. He is so damn effing good. I’m reminded (again) so why I was into him in the first place. Heh.

Sometimes, I dislike watching myself dance cos I get so self-critical. It’s horrible yo. I think I did alright though. :) But it was so funny that I was the only one wearing white. We were supposed to wear white/black tops, but it was like everyone got the memo to wear black except me. *facepalm* So I got to be the tall Asian chick in the middle, who was the only one wearing white. Funnnn. Heh.

Ohhhh… I have to stop watching this clip over and over and over again.

This weekend has been grrreat. Heh. And not just ‘cos of last night. And then I looked at my list of Things To Do (which is on a post-it on my bookshelf) and I realize that I have a quiz tomorrow, an assignment due on Tuesday and I need to prepare for two more assignments. Blaaaah. But I’m prepared for the quiz (wooo!), the Tuesday assignment is very short (like 200-250 words; it’s supposed to be a letter to a newspaper on an issue of national security) and there’s time to start on my coming assignments. So it’s alllll good baby.

Dance tonight was fabulous. We recapped the Janet choreography we learnt last time, which I obsessed over and thought about until I got it all. Heh. Damn, I’m tenacious about dance sometimes. Hahahah. We learnt some choreography to a co-ed piece, which looks good. It’s gonna be so hype once everything’s put together. Tryouts for that piece are next Wed- 8 guys and 8 girls- and it’s be cool if I got on it. Hmmmm. *crosses fingers*

Speaking of getting on a dance piece, I got on the Janet one! Yeah baby. I think 6 of us got on, so it’s cool. That’s gonna be good. :) I’m really pleased about that. And tomorrow, we’re dancing in the Pit (which is like this area in front of Lenoir, where everything happens. Heh). Doing the dances we learnt for tryouts, so that should be fun. It’s gonna be cold though, but I’m gonna suck it up. Heh.

I’m a little bummed about missing out on the State Fair though. That would have been an interesting/fun thing to do. Oh well.

I’m watching Kate & Leopold. Such a cute cute movie. And Hugh Jackman is sooooo dreamy. *sigh*

The past few days, my screenname on MSN has been “picture us dancing real close in a dark dark corner of a basement party”, which is a line from Beyonce’s “Baby Boy”. And people have been asking me why it was so. Heehee. And I said that I wanted to dance with *cough* someone.

And tonight, I finally did. *silly grin*

It’s alllll behind the cut yo. Oh God, this is gonna be an insanely girly-gushing post. Heehee. I’m not gonna subject everyone to my insane gushing. Hahaha.

(more…)

I watch CSI. I’m not a major fan, but I enjoy it. It’s the one show that makes me wish I was a Science nerd. Alas, I am nowhere near Science nerdish.

I like CSI. And David Anders on CSI? Eeeeee!. Greg used to be my favourite Science geek but now he’s trying to be a CSI and somehow just not as interesting anymore. Hmmmph.

Anyway. I squealed when David’s scenes were on. And Alex was like, “So that’s why you’re watching CSI!”. LOL.

He is the most adorable thing. Lovelovelove him. I love and miss Sark (le sigh) but it’s good to see David, even in a non-Sark role. I wish he had more lines though. ScienceGeek!David is hot yo. And I like his normal accent. Something about the tone of his voice is just… hot. Heh.

Watching CSI is gonna be sooooo much fun now. Heehee.

Okay, I have no idea what the hell is going on in One Tree Hill, but ohholyCRAP, Chad is one effing HOT mofo. Seriously, he is so gorgeous, it is insane. Daaaamn. OTH is just major Chad eye candy. I’m so so tempted to haul ass to Wilmy this weekend for the celebrity football game (thanks for the info, Soo Ling!), but the peeps on Kamikazi are hanging out on Saturday and I don’t wanna miss that either. Gaaaah. What a quandary. Plus, there’s the problem of getting a ride to Wilmy. Hmmm.

I can’t wait for next week’s Gilmore Girls. Chris is back! Wooo! And Logan! I am loving Logan. Matt Czuchry is one good-looking dude. Mmm. And Rory/Logan! OMG, they are gonna be one rockin’ couple. Can’t wait for something to happen. They have fabulous banter and they look fabulous together too. The promo pics of them are hot yo. Dang, I haven’t been this excited about GG since Tristan. Sigh. I have love for Logan, but Tristan is still numero uno.

And Thursday! David Anders’ debut on CSI! I’m excited about it. I’ve noted it down in my planner so that I won’t forget. Heh.

I did reaaaally well for my political theory mid-term: I got an A! Hell yeah! I feel pleased about that. I handed in my film paper on time too, so I’m glad that’s out of the way. So, this week is pretty much free and easy, except for all the studying I need to start for coming mid-terms. But at least the pressure is off. Until next week at least. Heh.

Am now watching what will probably be a hilarious as hell new reality tv show on TBS, He’s A Lady, where men have to dress like a lady and compete for prize money. Fun times. LOL. Should be amusing.

I am slaving over my paper. I’m like half-way done (did it last night) but I need another 2 pages. And I kinda know what to say, but the right words just aren’t coming to me.

Okay, fine. The truth is that I don’t feel like writing this paper. Pooey.

I got back my first film evaluation today; got a A/A- which is good. The bad part is that I got a C+/B- for the mid-term which is not so good. I’m not surprised though, given that I knew I wasn’t gonna do well. Not enough time and not enough studying. Oh well. It’s 15% of my grade and I still have 3 papers to turn in so I can still theoreotically bring up my grade. Thank goodness I did well for the film evaluation.

Gonna get back my mid-term for my political theory class as well. I hope I get a decent grade on it.

I dunno if it’s just me (and being numbed by the cold I experienced in DC) but the weather here today isn’t that cold. I’m kinda weirded out by it; not that I’m complaining, mind you. Usually it’s pretty chilly in the mornings but today was good. Hmmm.

Alright. I need to get back to my paper. I have another 2 hours before my next class and I want it done by then.

[/end procrastinating]

Back from DC. The trip was craaaazy. I feel so damn tired. And I have to get back into the swing of school and the pile of work waiting for me.

It’s good to be back in Chapel Hill. It didn’t hit me how much I’ve adapted to C. Hill and to life here, until I went to DC. Like all my creature comforts are here; it’s almost like home.

And now, I have to write yet another film evaluation for my Peace & War class. I had to drag myself to the library to watch one of the assigned movies just now. Argh. I’m so not in the mood to write a paper but it has to be done.

Details of the trip to DC are behind the cut.

(more…)

FALL BREAK!

Hell yeah, baby. I love being in school here, but these next few days are gonna be awesome. DC! If I weren’t feeling so tired/sleepy, I’d be more excited. Heh. So many places to see, things to do. Hopefully it’ll be a really great trip. :)

Had a mid-term today for my History of Western Civilization class. I was up studying til like 3am; that’s what I get for a) not completely paying attention in class and b) not doing my reading like I was supposed to. So last night was a major overload of information. The mid-term wasn’t that bad; I should be able to get a decent grade, I hope. And damnit, 50 minutes is not enough to do 5 IDs and one essay. Argh. My fingers were cramping really bad and my handwriting was atrocious.

Something good came out of the mid-term though. Heehee. That class is the one that I have with YKW and last night we were like studying together over AIM. Heh. We were quizzing each other on the IDs and helping each other out with stuff we didn’t know. That was fun. :) Kinda amusing if I think about it (the whole studying over the internet thing), but it did help me to hash things out with someone else.

Aishah was like, “Uh huh, you two were studying.” But we were! LOL. And now whenever I’m on AIM chatting to someone, she goes, “Are you talking to him?”.

So, yeah. Heh. It’s kinda funny how we’ve spoken more over AIM than we have in person. Hmmm. That’s what you get when you put two quiet people together. Heh.

I need to catch up on sleep. I need to pack. I need to clean my room a little. Oooh, presidential debate tonight. Dang it, things to do… only so much time. That’s like the story of my life. Heh.

This weekend has been loveeeely. I’ve done absolutely nothing, which is a novelty after the past two weeks of studying and being productive. I slept a lot (”"), watched some tv and just let my brain rot. Heh.

I went to a football game on Saturday, my first one. Carolina vs. NC State: we won 30-24! It was a good game. And you gotta love a game where the favourite cheer is, “Go to hell State!”. Heh heh. That was so classic. Loved the school spirit! That was a fun night. :) We got all decked out in baby blue and waved our little pom-poms in the air. Funnnn. Heh. Photos will be posted as soon as I get off my lazy ass. After the game, we hung out a little in Danny’s room and waited the the traffic to die down a little before getting some take-out from Hardee’s. I ate waaaay too damn much. But it felt good cos I was so damn hungry. Heh. (And I went to sleep once I got back to my room too, which is so baaaad.)

The night out on Thursday was a bit of a dud. We (Aishah, Alex & I) went to a party hosted by the senior class at this place called Spice Street. The place looked really good but it wasn’t a good night. The music was kinda bad; they played a lot of early/late 90s bad music. Oyyyyy. So, there was no dancing allll night, unfortunately. No cute guys either. LOL.

Plans for DC have finally been settled. We’ll be there on Thursday and fly back early Monday morning. So that’s something to look forward to. Now all I need to do is to make a list of the places we wanna go, things we wanna do and all the directions and stuff like that. Frommers.com, here I come!

Unfortunately, I have one last mid-term on Wednesday. Gaaaah. I’m gonna have to start studying for that one tomorrow. *headdesk* The studying just never really ends, does it? No, it doesn’t, unfortunately.
