Just sitting at the airport...

It's ironic that I'm blogging right now, just a tad funny I suppose since I'm about to embark on another adventure without updating about my last adventures...

In any case, I'm about to board a plane to Vegas. Thats right Baby, vivaaaaa las vegassss. My first but hopefully not my last trip here. As I'm getting used to traveling, I feel that I become less and less anxious... Packing doesn't take me as long and anxiety doesn't hurt me as much.... But then again im only talking about traveling domestically. No amount of domestic traveling can possible prepare me for traveling to Paris, Seoul, or Kathmandu.

Speaking of anxiety, I took my French final today. A few weeks ago I decided to take the class pass no pass (meaning I had to have a 75% or greater for a pass, I believe) and although I doubted my decision, I sure didn't today. I've been studying for this exam several hours a day and yet I still could not come to grips with it and FEEL prepared. I've been nauseous and had to force myself to eat at least one meal per day, things just wouldn't go down and refused to stay down. All in all, it's been a bad week for my health. Not sure if my scale is broken, but if it isn't, I lost 5 pounds in one week, which is all bad.

Side note, my flight was supposed to leave at 740 but I will be waiting until 840.... This is the 6th time in a 24-hour period that southwest has changed its mind about this flight. Where is the transparency???? What's going on????


T-minus 9 days now..... Before i must put my French skills to the test.... So what will I do in the interim you ask?
August 10-13 Vegas
August 13-15 Los Angeles
August 15 Catching a flight back to Oakland and pack and grab dinner
August 16 Moving out of the summer sublet
August 16-18 Prepare to leave
August 19 It's D-day!!!

By the way, if you are interested in sending me off, let me know! I would love the tearful and joyful goodbye :)


Another side note/ question: why is so easy to talk to strangers but so difficult to talk to people you actually know? The conundrums of life indeed.

Shoutout to Janice

Oh Janice, young child with almond eyes, why do you look like a nut, when you smile? Your round head and pale skin, I think you look like a fresh peanut. Your "mama hang" whine is fresh and refreshing But your smell is not. Why oh why, does Janice smile with almond eyes?

Minor Update While Studying

As I'm currently in the middle of midterms (two midterm papers due in approx. 1.5 days), I don't really have an opportunity to sit and type, but just a minor update. Among my long list of things-to-do (which is still currently sitting in the draft section of my blog and is continually updated but yet to be posted), I've added the goal to be able to successfully sing(/rap...) one of Tablo's songs by the end of the semester. Epik High (the group of which Tablo is a rapper and leader of) was one of the first Korean artists that I was exposed to as a young 6th grader. It was love at first sound... I remember back in the days... Tablo is one of those completely talented, genius type folks that make me go "WOW". Anyways, I digress. He recently released his CD (pt 1, which I am buying asap along with part 2 probably) after a 2-year hiatus and it's just gorgeous. The meanings of the lyrics, the beat, the sounds... everything flows so beautifully. Especiall...

Obtainable Goals: Conquering the RSF & Food Finds & Forever21 order

I've decided to switch back or rather add some more easily obtainable goals. One of which is to try every single Group-X exercise class offered by the RSF (the campus gym) at least once by the end of the semester or at the very least, this summer -- although I must say, the caveat might be the aqua classes given I don't have swimwear here and classes in Hearst Gym.... In the past, I have tried: Bollywood -- quite fun but the steps can get complicated Cardio Kickboxing -- whew, what a work out, I couldn't even make it through the whole session Some yoga class but I can't remember which one -- it was so slow, I almost fell asleep This semester, I have tried: Nia -- quite fun, the instructor was super nice and it was a lot about grounding yourself and finding yourself Toning Express -- quite intense and quick too, only 30 minutes! This week alone, I have tried: Power Yoga -- Not bad, not too rigorous either -- there was a focus on aligning your breath with you...
