woo blogger was acting all

woo blogger was acting all slow yesterday. i happy that it’s much faster today. so today was a superlong day. i went to eat lunch with grace and tania at…yep winner’s! the korean restaurant. i got chop chae. it was so good. grace got the same thing as me, but she said it was bad! i don’t care i like it. hehe. after lunch i went to organizational behavior. we had another guest speaker, our ta. i could not keep my eyes opened. the lecture was sooo boring. then our professor did his lecture. man it was killer! we have our last quiz on thursday. ugh. i need to go read the textbook. so after class i went to work at the library. i didn’t do anything really. i just stayed at the front desk the whole time. it’s soo boring. oh well at least i get paid to check email. after work was over at around 5 pm, i went to my microecon ta’s office hours. he had told me yesterday to come at 5. i get there and his tiny office is already full! also, the professor was having his office hours, and there were like 10 people in the hall. i finally left at around 6:20 pm. i still don’t understand one part in question 2, but oh well. i went to the library and did the homework because i didn’t want to forget anything marco taught me. i finished the hw as well as i could and stapled it together. i headed back to moreword at around 7:15. I bought dinner at the underground and ate in my room. i watched some tv, then went to my computer. i received all these ims from my friends. blahblah. it was kind of annoying. i then began my 3rd section of the strategic plan. it was sooo bad, but i don’t care. the president of my company decided to call my cell at around 9:15, thanks to caller id, i declined her call. haha. i don’t care. i didn’t want to deal with her. i finally finished my 3 parts at around 10:30. i sent it to her. yay i’m done. i hate biz comm! now i’m watching food network. woohool. ok that’s it. sorry for no paragraphs, i don’t feel like using them.

hello. so today is monday.

hello. so today is monday. what a fun day. i decided to go to micro even though i don’t understand my professor’s thick italian accent and his chicken scratch on the chalkboard. since this is the last week of classes, i decided i might as well attend. so i signed up for an earlier micro final, may 9th. originally i was going to take it on may 13 which is right before my regression final on may 14. i might have the dates backwards, but you guys get what i mean. so now i can study for 1 final per week. haha. nice huh? i was going to meet my micro ta today for extra help, but he said he had no time today. we will meet tomorrow at five. i don’t want to work tomorrow. i’m so lazy. i just want to go home and chill, but i need money to pay for my lost contact. so after another exciting regression lecture, i went home and started laundry. as usual, there were so many broken washers. i came back at at 4 pm since all the working washers were taken at 3:30. i picked a working dryer today. i’m so lucky! usually i pick the broken dryer that barely dries your clothes. i’m so cheap so i’ll just hang dry my clothes. after laundry i went to the uc to eat dinner with erin. i got a caesar wrap. yum. i only ate half though. then i came home and tania and grace wanted to order pizza hut. so that was the rest of my dinner.

now i’m in the process of writing my three parts of the strategic plan for yes you guessed it. BIZ COMM. oh how i love this class so much. i <3 my president. as i complained in my previous blog, my president wants us to send us our drafts by tuesday morning. what does she think we are? working pigs? whatever. i will have two sections done at most. if that’s not good enough. tough luck sista! ok well back to writing my justification segment. boohoo.

so all i’ve been doing

so all i’ve been doing is regression homework. i’m done with that so guess what i’m doing? i’m playin word whomp thanks to merlin! haha. it’s so addicting, but i’m stopping now. i’m going to go do micro homework. so the president of my company for biz comm wants my part of the strategic plan by tuesday. actually she said monday, but i said i was busy. haha. she sucks so much. she only has to write two easy parts. she thinks that since she’s the designated proofreader (she assigned that job to herself of course), she is doing a lot of work. her english is poor. i’m not saying my english is perfect. in fact my writing is far from perfect, but it is so much better than my president’s. since this is the last project, i don’t really care about what happens with our strategic plan. if she wants to butcher it. then she can. who cares. ok well, time for micro. peace!

hi, i was having problems

hi, i was having problems with blogger last night. =( let’s see if i can paste my blog from last night. time for work!

hello! ) today i went to downtown pittsburgh to help julyan find a dress for formal. we did dress shopping for like 40 minutes. it was amazing. we only went to kaufmann’s and lord & taylor. she found her 69 dollar dress at lord & taylor? isn’t that a pretty good deal? ) i didn’t really do anything today. i came home and took a nap. i reformatted my computer yesterday due to my ocd tendencies. i do not feel like discussing the reason for my decision to reformat. all i have to say is that i hate computers and they hate me. that is final. tomorrow i have work at noon. boo. i need to do regression hw. double boo! ugh. i watched half of “a beautiful mind” tonight. did you know john nash attended cmu for undergraduate school? they never mentioned it once because undergraduate doesn’t even count! no wonder john nash went crazy. haha. it was because of his 4 years at cmu! ) ok later <3

hello. i had my meeting

hello. i had my meeting today. i am writing three parts of the strategic plan. joy to the world! =( ok back to “charmed”. gnite!

hello everyone. i’m trying to

hello everyone. i’m trying to blog everyday from now on. so…today was an ok day until around 10:30 p.m. tonight. i will get to that later. so i had my three classes today: microeconomics, biz comm, and regression. micro and regression were very boring. in biz comm we read sample strategic plans. they are so intimidating. they’re like 10 pages long (not double-spaced). grr. the professor then said that we should assign someone as the proofreader of the group. this person will be responsible for reading everyone’s part and make sure the plan flows continuously. i bet my president will volunteer to take this position. the thing is her english sucks more than mine, so i’m a little nervous about her doing it. on the other hand, this is the last project of the semester, so i don’t really care. if she wants to do the extra work, that’s fine with me. after boring regression, julyan and i went to see marco our micro ta. he explained (gave us the answers) questions from the homework. so now i know p=mc. woo. ) microeconomics class is getting really confusing because suddenly our professor decided to stop using powerpoint and write on the board! his handwriting is illegible and i can’t read his messy graphs. ugh.

after our ta meeting, julyan and i went to the sife elections. this asian girl brought like her whole crew so they could vote for her. that is so wrong. none of them were members of sife. i never saw them at any of our events. that’s just dumb. erin told me that they aren’t going to allow this kind of conduct to occur again next year. woo. so sife elections took like an hour. it was sooo boring. after the meeting erin and i ate dinner. she’s going to study in london for an entire year. doesn’t that rock? i’d love to get out of cmu for a year. that would be awesome. i’m really jealous of her. hehe. she’s so smart too!

after our delicious dinner at the underground, i came back to my room and started my micro hw. before i knew it, it was already 9 pm, which we all know is felicity time! wow. i wish my life was like felicity’s. everything seems to turn out fine for her. too bad my life sucks. after finishing my micro hw at around 10:30 pm, i went to brush my teeth. as i was washing my contact, the worse thing that could happen happened. my contact fell right into the hole of evil darkness. ugh. i have the worse luck. now i’m going to pay for the new contact with my own money because i lost it just a month ago (same way too). i’m definitely going to be very careful when i take out my contacts now. i’m going to buy a strainer thingy, so my contact won’t fall in there. ugh. so that is my stupid day. thanks for tuning in for another crappy teresa day. :/

ok so my friend dave

ok so my friend dave told me that reading my daily blogs is the 4th thrill of his day. so here i am, blogging for him! ) monday was a long day. we have yet another project thing in biz comm, but it’s a written strategic plan. our professor gave out sample plans, and they were like 30 pages long. so intimidating. it’s too bad that my group’s english and grammar sucks a lot. :/ we’re going to do sucky on this project, not that i care anymore. i refuse to pull anymore 10 hour meetings. yesterday i did laundry and picked out my classes for next semester. i tried to do some micro hw, but it was too hard. ugh. i’m going to the ta tomorrow (wednesday). i hope he will be able to help me. hmm. what else. today i registered for classes, and i got into all my classes. i’m taking: finance, marketing, management information systems, production, and social psychology. i even got into the laster section of finance (9:30). woo. the real world 3 episode marathon will be starting shortly. i need to catch up with it, since i haven’t watched any of the last 3 episodes. i hope this will make dave happy. i will make sure i blog everyday. D

hi everyone. so carnival is

hi everyone. so carnival is officially over. boohoo. hmm what to babble about. on friday grace, tania, and me went to the reel big fish concert at the gym. the opening band was weird. they were a little too rockish for me. finally, reel big fish cam on stage, and like the crowd went wild. all the local kids squeezed together. people started to body surf. i kept getting pushed around. i was in the second row. i tried to protect erin from the crazy people since she was in front of me. reel big fish was pretty cool minus the crazy crowd. i liked the trumpet player. he was cute, plus i had a great view of him. ) i did realize that i probably can never go to a nin concert because i’d probably get trampled on.

saturday i really didn’t do anything. i got a free lunch at this picnic. it was pretty decent. i can’t believe the alumni has to pay 10 bucks for the food. haha. sucks for them. i went to see fireworks with my friends. they were pretty ghetto, but it was still exciting. then julyan and i decided to ride the “skydiver” at the carnival. it was the most painful ride ever. we spent the whole time screaming from pain. we were like “let us out!”. haha. after we walked to ji’s apartment at fairfax and watched “bandits”. it was a pretty good movie, but it was a little too long in the middle. that girl cate blanchett played was a little too hoeish for me. i won’t give away anything else. )

today was another uneventful day. grace, lynne, and i went to oakland and finally tried this korean restaurant that everyone has been talking about. my meal was only 5.25. it rocked. i got beef dumpling with rice cakes. i also got a bowl of rice and salad with it. yummy! ok well, i’m off to do some homework. go look at carnival pics. )

woo! i went to my

woo! i went to my friend’s apartment for dinner. we had korean food (home made). it was good. i haven’t had rice for such a long time. then julyan and i came back to get ready for the tsa & sasa party. we went to the foundary at the strip. we got there at like 10:30. no one was there! it kinda sucked, but we only had to pay 5 bucks. hmm. we had a pretty good time. the girls we went with were pretty funny. hehe. we tried to go to dtd when we got back, but they wouldn’t let us in. this brother told us that it was really full and dirty, so it’s good that we didn’t get in. hehe. mean dtd! oh well tomorrow we will party again. woohoo. carnival rocks. du’s booth is amazing. hehe. i haven’t gone in any of the others yet. i guess i’ll do that tomorrow! i’m out. <3

carnival!!!!!!! woo. i can’t wait

carnival!!!!!!! woo. i can’t wait to party. ) it’s still freaking hot!

the past three days have

the past three days have been unbearable in pittsburgh. it’s only been like 85 degrees, but my room is like 100+. i just took a cold shower. it felt marvelous. i went to the gym today because i decided that since i’m always sweating in my oven room, i might as well be sweating at the gym for a good cause! hehe. well carnival is in a day. woohoo! party party! ) today there’s felicity on the wb at 9. everyone tune in! hehe. i’ll blog later or something. i’m out. <3

woo i’m past 100,000. party

woo i’m past 100,000. party party! haha. woohoo. )

saturday was a pretty ok

saturday was a pretty ok day. i had work from 12:00-3:00, but i could not find my umbrella so i ended up going to work 20 minutes late. there were like at most 10 people at the library. it was a very boring day. i just sat there checking my email. haha. hmm. my biz comm group was supposed to have a meeting at 3:00, but i found out that it got moved to 4 pm. the president of my group decided to call my cell, and since i didn’t pick it up, she decided to call my dorm and ask my roomie where i was. she was then informed that i was working, and then looked up my work number and actually called me to inform me of the changes. later i checked my email and i found out that she also had sent an email. she’s psycho. i told her that i was still leaving at 7 because i had to go to the spirit fashion show. at 7 i headed to the uc to eat dinner with grace and tania. it was nice. then we went to get seats for the fashion show. wow the spirit fashion show was very scandalous. it was not like this last year. it was pretty entertaining. ) i didn’t do anything saturday night even though grace teased me about going to rock jungle. i decided i might as well do my laundry since sunday i would be busy with doing biz comm the entire day. of course i picked one bad dryer, so one of my loads ended up damp. onto sunday…

i ended up going to my biz comm meeting about 10 minutes late, which is not a big deal since we never get anything done. i then find out that our other group member had yet to arrive. our president, sharon, called him (louis), and he was not picking up his phone. about an hour later, he calls us and said he just woke up. he doesn’t show up until 4 pm or so. ugh. what a waste of time. on saturday, sharon had told us that we would go straight to kinko’s on sunday to get our brochures printed out. of course that did not happen. joy. we eneded up going to kinko’s at 7 pm and we arrived there at 7:30. after printing out a sample copy of our brochures, we found mistakes, and then sharon spent 30 minutes talking to her boyfriend. she had to tell him what to change. he then emailed us the new documents. it turns out that we were not able to get our brochures printed since kinko’s closes at 9 pm. so sharon said she’d pick them up today at 8 am. whatever. the only reason i went with her to kinko’s was because i wanted to get my 2 apple pies for 1 dollar. it was nice. i even brought my psycho president a diet coke. we get back to cmu at around 9:30. we get all our stuff together and arrive at gsia at around 10 pm. we practice our presentation multiple times in our classroom. we leave at around 12:15. so that means i spent more than 10 hours with my group. what a long day.

today we practiced a couple more times. i basically knew what i had to say. i must say we did a lot better this time around. i hope we get a better grade. i’m so glad this is over. now i have to start my long regression homework. joy. ok everyone can wake up now. oh yeah, as you guys see, my site will be reaching and surpassing 100,000 hits shortly. woohoo. i guess i should have a party or something, right? carnival in 3 days. woohoo! party party!

it’s friday night. i just

it’s friday night. i just got back from seeing “lord of the rings” for the second time. ok i do admit the movie was pretty good, but it certainly wasn’t worth it the second time even though it was only a dollar. i almost fell asleep in the movie. it was sooo long. grace told me that she hated the movie. oh well, i guess it’s only suitable to those who appreciate fantasy books. the worse thing about the movie was that some guy who looked like wolverine (from x-men) on crack. his hair was longer than mine! he was soooo stinky too. he is a perfect example of a true cmu geek. he and his two other geek friends were talking during the movie. i wanted to smack them. grr. i think i’m going to go take a shower because i sat next to this dirty guy. oh yeah. today was another beautiful day. grace, tania, and i went to joe mama’s for dinner. i had pasta e fagiole (i’m not sure about the spelling). it was pretty decent. after, guess where we went? just remember it was a warm and sunny day. yep that’s right, we went to dave and andy’s for ice cream. when the weather’s this good, it’s really hard to resist getting ice cream. mmm. it was so delicious. ) i love the waffle cones. they smell sooo good. hehe. well i’m off to hit the shower. i’ll be blogging later if i’m bored. i think i’ll just stay home and watch “iron chef”. i think it’s on today. =)

woo today was a semi-good

woo today was a semi-good day. it didn’t start off that well. apparently i printed out the wrong lecture for microeconomics so i had to take good notes. our class ended early only because we were going to participate in some kind of experiment. because of that experiment. our class got out late, and therefore i got to the uc late. the person ahead of me on the deli line got the last swiss cheese, so i had to go with provolone. boohoo. then i was going to deposit my check into the atm, but the woman ahead of me told me the atm would not be working after her. after she left, i looked and it said that the atm was being serviced. grrr! here’s the good part. in biz comm, our professor came back from being sick and told us that he was going to redo the presentation schedule. we lucked out and are now going on monday! rock on. i feel bad for the two groups who were supposed to go on monday and wednesday; they’re now going on friday. suckers! after regression, julyan and i went to squirrel hill to do some food shopping. i was able to deposit my check at the bank. woohoo. i will have money! it turns out that there is a snapple sale at giant eagle. 69 cents a bottle! woo that’s like half the price i pay in new york. so i loaded up on snapples. this time i brought my backpack so i kind of went crazy. i bought skim milk, yogurt, oranges, pretzels, goldfish, and bread. that’s a lot for me! hehe. hmm. anyway, i came back and had a sandwich. then i went to the gym and worked out. i came back showered and watched dawson’s creek and felicity. i can’t believe felicity is ending this season. :/ so sad. i won’t give you guys a synopsis of what happened, since i know you guys hate teen shows, so i’ll be signing off now. <3

yesterday i wrote an email

yesterday i wrote an email to in-n-out. i asked them if they were planning on expanding to the east coast. they responded today! here it is:

Dear Teresa:

Thank you for your e-mail and for your interest.

In-N-Out Burger® is a privately held, family operated business which first opened in Baldwin Park, California, in 1948. As we continue to expand, we are always careful not to open a new location until we can guarantee the same quality food and service as we provide in our existing locations.

While we have no immediate plans to expand as far as East Coast, we are happy to share your interest with our Real Estate Department to be considered as we establish our future location goals.

Thank you again for contacting us.

oh in-n-out, please expand to ny and make my life! i love their cheeseburgers!

i’m back from spring break!

i’m back from spring break! what a week. california was not as warm and sunny as we all hoped it to be. in fact, it was only sunny on thursday and saturday. it’s ok, we still made the best of it. on sunday we went to venice beach and bought cheap sunglasses for 5 dollars. on monday we went to melrose avenue to do some shopping. that was very tiring. we came back and went to the beach. it was very cold! at least we got to see where “baywatch” was filmed at. after the beach we ate dinner and went to see “panic room” at the promenade. it was a good movie. i was surprised that it was funny. ) on tuesday we went to disneyland. i got to sit in the trunk and i was welcomed by a daddy long legs spider. i fear spiders, so i had a small heart attack. i was able to fling it somewhere into a hole and then i covered the hole. we went on all the rides in disneyland except indiana jones because there was a 120 minute wait for that. on wednesday we dropped ashley at the airport and then we went to in-n-out. it was sooo good and cheap. we also went to ross dress for less where i purchased my first real belt. then we went food shopping at an incredibly expensive supermarket so we could make mac n cheese for dinner. we ended up making mac n cheese, salad, and bbq chicken. woohoo. we are master chefs. watch out iron chef! ) on thursday we went to chinatown and had some noodles and bought some snacks. then julyan and i hit the promenade and i went a little crazy at gap. i love that store! i don’t care if all my friends don’t agree with me. hehe. grace and steph went to lie at the beach. tania stayed home and greeted her parents since they were coming home. on friday we went to universal studios and this time we made our own lunches so we wouldn’t get ripped off like we did in disneyland. we saved a lot of money. on saturday we went home. well that was the cliff notes version to my spring break. i wouldn’t want to bore strangers about my trip. i took a lot of pictures. if you feel like looking at 60 pictures, click here. back to school (
