A lazy Sunday which really shouldn't be that lazy

Current Fav Study Jams:
Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness" and "Make Her Say"
Wang Lee Hom's "Hua Tian Cuo" and "Wei Yi"
Miike Snow's "Animal," "Black and Blue," and "In Search Of"

Okay, here's the thing, I was supposed to study all weekend and get as much Health Law and Medical Systems information into my head as possible. That hasn't happened. Instead... I am applying to go to Malawi for a year, made a new friend, and found some great new jams. I am in serious trouble. But I am not that worried. I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not going to care about grades as much this semester. It is what it is. I need to enjoy life along with school and if that means not getting straight A's... I think I'll live.

Extreme dislike: people who can't understand that girls and boys can just be friends without any desire for anything more. Just because you're of the opposite sex, it doesn't mean you guys are going to go at it like rabbits automatically. Friendship- there is such a thing between girls and guys.

PS Texts from last night- great reading for procrastination. And makes you laugh uncontrollably.

Asian Sensation

I am trying to come fully into my Asian-ness. And you're wondering how I am going about this? I am embracing Chinese pop music aka C-pop. AND I find one of them rather attractive. His name is Wang Lee Hom. And yes, I find him rather attractive. It's a first. Yes, it's okay. Breathe, pick your jaw up off the floor. He's a popstar. It's like thinking Justin Timberlake is cute. So I've been studying and jamming out to my C-pop. Embracing the Asian-ness. Before you know it, I'll be a real Asian.

I'm also thinking about spending Chinese New Year in Taiwan next year. That would be a culminating Asian experience, filled with family fun and great food! We'll see if it pans out.

Tea. All about my tea. It is the best way to start off a morning. Harney & Sons Paris tea. Great black tea that makes my morning so much easier to wake up to. Along with some Jessica's Pan Rustica. Yes, there is bread named after me. Or I was named after bread. But it's so delicious. Some people like it with butter. I still don't like butter, so I like it plain. Plain toast with my tea. So great!

I would just like to share that I just tried to open a screw top wine with a cork screw... I am so brilliant. Tehehe.

Fake boobs: How do we feel? I feel you should do what makes you happy. It's your body. Do what you want.

Africa- here I come. At least I think so. Application for country by South Africa = Done. Plans for other countries if I don't get it = in motion. If I go to China rather than Africa, I'd be okay with that too. But let's keep our fingers crossed for Africa. The other side of the Atlantic Ocean sounds so appealing right now. Someone, please take me! (I'd like a little money help too... that'd help out a poor grad student...)

Anyone want to go with me to Australia? There are beaches and sun, I promise. I need a vacation. Midterms make me want to subject myself to Chinese Needle Torture... (not quite at the level as the Breast Ripper...)

Good night!

Just a late night thought

Good friends are hard to come by and amazing when you find them. Hard to keep, but if you can, they are worth it. Worth more than all the therapy in the world can buy. I love the ones I have and cherish them more than they'll ever know.

xoxo

That's no good.

Thought 1 for the early morning:
I can't cook. It's true. This means I will never make a good wife. Ever. Also means I'm not a good catch. See this would be okay if I wanted to be a nun and live my days out devoted to God. Not that cool when I can't woo someone with my cooking skills.

Thought 2:
Why can't I sleep? Oh who knows. I have a problem...

Thought 3:
Will we go to war with China? Interesting... that'd be no good. Plus I'd prefer not to be put into an internment camp like back in WWII... I'm just saying. I don't like the idea.

Thought 4:
I like being Asian these days. I'm trying to embrace it. Note: trying. Practicing my Chinese, looking for ways to cook (even though I can't), etc

Thought 5:
What does dating look like? I have no idea anymore.

Light My Sapphire

Yes, please. Light My Sapphire!!!

Don't have a dirty mind. It is the color of the nail polish I'm currently wearing. My manicure has me showing different colors this week. It's a super dark blue, almost close to black. I've never worn such dark polish, but it makes me feel bad a$$! Now all I need is a streak of lightning blue in my hair... one can only dream.

Now really, I spent all of Saturday puking my brains and insides out. Oh classic hangover... my abs hurt so much from it. My body also just hurts. It started off as a great Friday night though. Drinks all around. Happiness in the air. Oh, I may have hung out a bit with the Asian Posse and had fun!! I am trying to embrace my inner Asian... I'm trying. Maybe one day you'll see me and I'll be a true Asian. tehehe.

I have tons of work to do this week, but I just can't get over how awesome my nails look. Looooooove!

I also love the name of the polish.

All-nighter

There is nothing like sitting up at 3:30am and writing a disaster of a paper on a humanitarian disaster. I'm so screwed for finishing this paper... I have about 5.5 hours left before I need to turn it in and right now I just need a mental break to type things not pertaining to my paper. Thus the blogging. I haven't pulled this late of a night in a few years. It's pretty mind-blowing. I'm not actually that tired- more worried about the grade I'm going to get on this paper. Tomorrow I will worry about sleep. I probably won't be able to function properly. Oh wait, by tomorrow, I mean today. When the sun comes up.

At one point in time, I had all these witty things to say on the blog. Thoughts I wanted to share. And as of right now, my mind is mud. NO idea what I was planning on writing. At least my sentences are mostly real sentences... nouns, verbs, etc. I haven't completely failed out of the English language quite yet. Soon though. Probably in another 12 hours, I will turn into a comatose thing. Yes a thing... there should be a better word to put after "comatose" but I can't think of one right now. My iTunes has cycled through some of the most random songs... for example: Avril is singing right now. Haven't heard her in a while.

One thought... oh wait, I lost it. Never mind. Brain officially fried. Mmmmkay... I guess I should go back to writing. See? This semester is keeeeeeelllllllling me. Maybe if I hadn't worked all weekend, I would have been able to find time to write this freaking paper.

What tastes good at 3:30 in the morning?

A Sound Bite

Yesterday I saw a guy who looked exactly like Russell Brand. Except this guy was Asian. So just picture Russell Brand and make him Asian. And there you have it! It was uncanny and amazing at the same time.

Well, I haven't had a day off work since I got back last Sunday. So I'm a little exhausted. Already behind in school- I'm 1 week in. It's going to be a long semester. A life-draining, soul-sucking, energy-depleting semester of work and school. I pray that it's worth it and that I'm alive in May.

I really have nothing new to say other than that... so I think I will now do homework
