happy thanksgiving!
Nov 27th
wow, my family and i went out for dinner yesterday. we ate soo much. our waiter was so impressed. he asked us how we stayed so thin. haha. it was kind of embarrassing because after all our dishes were taken away, i’m like okay now i want to order dessert. he came back with their dessert menu. i ordered chocolate crunch ny cheesecake. i was like “no one else is going to order dessert?” then our waiter was like, “they’re going to have some of yours!” i was like oh yeah. so i asked for a few more forks. he comes over with my dessert and 6 forks. haha. anyway, he must have thought we were starving kids or something. who eats that much before thanksgiving is probably what he thought. 
well a lot of my family is coming over today to celebrate thanksgiving. i’m excited because i haven’t seen jane and chris since august. they’re bringing their dogs too. last night i tried to tape “the oc”, but i ended up taping nothing because i forgot we now have a cable box and that totally messes everything up. so alas, jessica and i missed the show, and they aren’t even having a repeat today. 
i’m so sad. i’ll have to ask jane what happened since i bet they tivo’d it. 
i just made my own picasso art. see it here.
anyway, i just want to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving! i hope your stomachs are full after your long meal. <3
going home :)
Nov 25th
i’m about to walk out of my apartment to catch the 28x so i can go home! yay. i printed out my boarding pass and hopefully there will be no delays. i can’t wait for some home cooked meals. salads are really starting to bore me. bye guys. happy thanksgiving. <3
can’t wait to go home
Nov 23rd
i get to go home in two days!! i’m so happy. this weekend was nice. i went to see “seabiscuit” on friday with grace and jonathon. it was a very good movie. it was even kind of funny. i’m not a big fan of tobey macguire, but he was good. yesterday i was supposed to do work, but i didn’t really do anything. i wrote one paragraph for my social psych paper. i chilled with lynne and grace. lynne and i watched 4 episodes of law & order: svu. it was a bit crazy. i think usa was having a marathon. we went to jonathon’s to hang out. we played some mah jong. that was fun. i won twice, i think!
right now i’m at work. i’ve been posting a lot at dish. you guys should all join! we always need new members. last week was crazy because cici was running out of bandwidth, but her awesome host, rich gave us more. then cici managed to delete her entire site (by mistake). of course, rich came to the rescue again. anyway, i better go pretend i’m working hard. maybe i’ll sign on aim now. ;D <3 i’m going to have to finish my social psych paper tonight. :(
what a day
Nov 20th
today i woke up at 10:05 am and realized that i had to leave as soon as possible since i have class at 10:30. i ran to the bathroom did my bathroom stuff, got changed, and ran out of the apartment. i still managed to get to class on time. how cool is that. anyway, i find chinese history to be such a bore. i’m glad the class is almost over. anyway, i’m so glad it’s thursday. that means tomorrow is friday. i’m so tempted not to go to any of my classes tomorrow. i only have 2 in the first place. i need to do a lot of work this weekend. i need to write my idea paper for social psychology. that doesn’t take too much time. i just need to come up with a good example and topic. i can’t wait to go home to ny for thanksgiving. i’m really getting sick of turkey sandwiches and salads. by the way, i’m tired of my group project for corporate strategy. :X if you want to see my web design final project that is not finished yet, click here. enjoy!
yay!

i went to the doctor today at my school’s health services. she told me that i have a sinus infection. she gave me some antibiotics. i’m so excited. she told me i should feel better by this weekend. yay!!! i’m so tired of this stupid illness. i finished my macro hw. hallelujah. i’m going to go watch real world now. ta ta <3
hi guys!

well, i haven’t been updating that often. my life isn’t that interesting. it basically revolves around work and more work. this weekend was kind of relaxing. i had dinner with my friend erin on friday. i finally got my cookie at craig street coffee shop (or whatever it’s called). i got myself a gigantic oatmeal raisin cookie. it was my treat of the day. it was so yummy. after dinner i went to see legally blonde 2 with my roomie. that movie was pretty funny. a lot of people warned me that the movie sucked, so i really didn’t expect much.
on saturday, i went to 4 different supermarkets with my corporate strategy group. we were doing research. it was kind of fun. we went to wal-mart, foodland, giant eagle, and whole foods. we had this script where we would ask employees where the peanut butter was. only in whole foods did the worker actually take us to the aisle. that was pretty cool. also, whole foods has a really nice salad bar and prepared foods sections. ann-marie and i were drooling over all the yummy food. too bad everything at whole foods is so expensive. my favorite natural peanut butter was there for $4.99! that’s soo overpriced. i’m glad my mommy brought me a jar when she came to visit
i’m going home next tuesday for thanksgiving break. i can’t wait. i’ll be busy doing work though because i have so many things due the week after break. i only have 1 week of classes, then it’s finals! then i go home for christmas break. isn’t that insane? i can’t believe i only have one more semester of college. then i’ll be thrown into the real world. it’s really scary. it’s even worse because i don’t have a job yet. ok i better get back to work. i’ve been spending a lot of time at cici’s new forum called dish. everyone go join
brrr

wow, it really feels like winter now. it’s soo cold. yesterday i was wearing two layers and a coat, and i was still freezing my butt off. i had my social psych exam today. i think it was ok despite the fact that i didn’t know one of the essay questions (again). i totally blanked out. in the end i came up with some kind of bs, but i doubt i got half credit. that question was worth 6 points. i came home to take a nap before work, but i got an email saying i didn’t have to go to work! i was so excited. i took a nap and then i woke up for my 5 pm meeting. we got a lot done. we’re going to visit whole foods, walmart, and giant eagle on saturday to do a field study. it’s going to be cool hehe. anyhow, i’m going to rummage through my fridge for some food. i don’t feel like cooking anything. then i’m going to read for my two classes tomorrow. bye

my nose is still clogged as usual. i have no idea if this medicine is really working. oh well, i’ll just keep taking it. now i’m taking 3 diff meds: decongestant, cough suppressant, and advil. yay! so i have some good news. i miraculously got a 90 on my second macro test! how? i do not know. i seriously did the last question in 10 minutes when it’s worth 40 points. i’m just happy they graded really easily. the average was an 80, so i’m sure a lot of people did great. anyhow, i’m just glad i didn’t get a c or lower on the exam. tonight there is a potluck and i’m going to making rigatoni with sausage and escarole. i hope it turns out okay. bye!! <3

i’m still as congested as ever. i’ve been really good about taking my meds. they make me so sleepy. ;/ now i’m taking advil too because of cramps. hurrah. so today is friday. i have two classes, then i’m coming home to do laundry. then i’m going to catch some tv. maybe some general hospital. yesterday lynne and i watched tv for 3 hours and napped. haha. we tried to watch general hospital, but we had no idea who all these new characters were. it was kind of crazy. they keep replacing characters with new actors/actresses, so we have no idea who they are.
the weather is cold again. 45 degrees! brrr. tomorrow is my friend’s potluck birthday dinner. i have no idea what i’m going to make. ahh. she wants us to make “real” food too, and not desserts. i consider desserts to be REAL food. i guess i can make some kind of pasta dish. i need to go food shopping because i really have nothing in the fridge to cook. anyway, i’m going to change and get ready for exciting class! have a great weekends guys
back to fall :(

i knew two days of 80 degree weather was just a freak of nature. now it’s overcast and rainy. back to regular pittsburgh weather! i’ve decided to go see the doctor today. i really want to get rid of this cough. my social psych exam got pushed back to monday. yay! the paper is due friday even though i finished it last night. tonight i have to read for my history class and my corporate strategy class. then i have to write a little paper about trader joe’s. i have to analyze all this stuff about it. our group project for corporate strategy is how the typical grocery store like giant eagle is dealing with the entrance of super wal-mart and specialty stores like whole foods and trader joe’s. when i go home for thanksgiving, my dad is going to take me to the trader joe’s that opened on long island. i’m really excited about that. anyway, i think i will try to get a head start with my history reading. then i’ll go to my appointment. bye!
spring is back
Nov 3rd
wow it is unseasonably warm in pittsburgh. it was about 80 yesterday and today it’s going to be about 75. i’m wearing capris! it’s been so long since i’ve worn capris. it kind of amazes me that the weather can change so quickly. this weekend was pretty good. on friday i went to a halloween party. i dressed up as a suicidal yankees fan. i put fake blood on my wrists. my friend lent me a yankees jersey. heehee. it was funny. on saturday, lynne, grace, and i lounged around. we watched a disney movie with brian austin green (the guy who played david on bh 90210). wow he is pretty cute. 
we went to ross park mall. grace wanted to buy these special american eagle jeans that are only sold at ross park. i had bought this really nice pair a month earlier, and we’ve been looking for the same pair at the waterfront’s ae, but we couldn’t find it. i ended up asking one of the salespeople and she told me that my jeans were being “tested”. isn’t that cool? apparently they will be coming out next season. mine is supposed to be $68! i only paid $30 for it. we went to see “bad boys 2″ at school, and wow that movie was kind of crazy. i didn’t like it because it was too unrealistic and long. i do admit it was quite funny.
after the movie, grace, julyan, and i went to the strip to tequila willie’s. wow saturday nights really suck there. grace and i totally didn’t feel it that night. i just wanted to go out and wear my new shirt. we left at 1:15 am and got home by 1:30. on sunday, i went to work from 1-4 pm. then i came home did laundry, made dinner, and started my idea paper for social psychology. i have all these essays due this week. it kind of sucks. it beats having tests. actually, i have an exam on friday, but i think it might be pushed back to next monday. that would be way better. after doing homework and watching “the bodyguard” on tnt, i went to see “28 days later” with my friends. i was told this movie was scary. it certainly was scary and bloody. i still liked the movie though. there were times when the main character was being really stupid. you guys should all go see it!
oh yeah, i bombed my macro exam. it wasn’t even hard. i just ran out of time. ugh. i’m really not looking forward in getting my grade back. ok well, i’m going to go back and read for chinese history. byeeee!
