It’s finally Wednesday! I’m so excited. I don’t really have much to update about. I’m watching General Hospital right now. Then I’m going to do some reading for my International Relations class. Today in aerobics, my instructor made us switch steps with people and there were all these different levels. It was pretty intense. I like when she switches things up. Spring break is in 9 days. I’m really excited for the John Mayer concert. Grace got the tickets in the mail today. The original ticket price was $35.50 while we paid a lot more for each ticket. I guess if I can’t find a job, I should just buy tickets and resell them on eBay. I’d make some good money!

So how many of you watch “One Tree Hill”? I’ve gotten hooked on it because Gavin DeGraw sings the theme song. I also find Lucas to be incredibly cute. Tonight is the OC night. That show is so crazy. It’s like the new Beverly Hills 90210.

Yesterday during my long night class, we learned about intellectual property and how Napster was an illegal establishment. Then we talked about Kazaa and all that other jazz. Basically thouse peer-to-peer programs cannot be sued because file-sharing is a useful idea. This whole thing follows the VCR defense. Although it was invented so people can watch videos, it also allows people to record TV programs and copy tapes, which is illegal. Since the VCR is a useful product, it cannot be shut down. Ok, so I really have nothing else to talk about. My life is quite boring. Bye!

Wow, I surprised my 3 viewers with a new simple layout! I got rid of all my stupid pictures and such on the right. When I get bored, I might readd them somewhere. I’m too lazy to add another link to my layout so I can put all that stupid stuff there. Maybe I will make a link off my About Me page and then you guys can still see my weather pixie! Ooh! I’ve been working on this layout since January. Actually, I only worked on it for a day, and I finished it today since I’m so bored. I wrote a new bio so everyone go read it. Hah!

It was like 50 degrees today. It was truly beautiful. I might even upload a picture that I took on my camera.

That’s the school near my apartment. I know the quality sucks, but oh well.

Last weekend, I went home with my friends. Jon drove us home in his tiny little Rav4. It was cozy. It was the longest trip ever. First, Jon got a ticket when we were still in PA. Once we got to Carlisle, Grace and I recommended us take a shortcut. Three hours later, I started to see signs for “Binghamton”. I wondered if this was the Binghamton in upstate NY. Finally, Grace and I said something to Jon, and he said he had not seen any signs for the NJ Turnpike. Ten minutes later, we saw a “Welcome to NY” sign. By then we knew that we were far too north. We managed to skip NJ and go straight to NY. The last straw was when we saw a sign that said 78 miles to Syracuse!! At that point, we went to a rest area, and I called my dad for some help. He told us that we were really far north and that it would take us 3.5 hours to get back to NYC. We got home at 2:30 am, and it was too late to take the train to Grace’s house, so we had to stay at Jon’s apartment. It was awkward since I’ve only met his parents once before, and I felt weird sleeping in their sofa couch in the middle of the living room. During the entire 4 days, Lynne, Grace, Leslie, and I just ate and shopped all day long. Even though we didn’t do anything, we managed to get really tired. Oh yeah, I bought a really cute jacket at H&M. The price tag said it was $49.50, but I saw a light red line through it so I thought maybe it was on sale. I went up to the cashier and asked the guy there if it was on sale. He looked at me and he’s like “$29.50?” I said okay and bought it. My friends told me that there probably wasn’t a sale, and that the guy just gave it to me. Haha! If so, then I’m glad I asked him if it was on sale. I got this really cute off the shoulder shirt. I can’t wait to wear it, but I don’t ever dress up, so it’ll probably just sit in my closet.

On Friday, my friends and I went to our favorite little Italian restaurant in the village called, Artepasta. It was only 12.95 for a fixed dinner which came with an appetizer, entree, dessert, and tea or coffee. Pretty nice?! I highly recommend this restaurant to all you fellow New Yorkers.

My friends and I went to eat dim sum with my parents in Flushing on Sunday. It was soo delicious. I finally got to eat my favorite little baked pork buns. I also had a ton of other junk. For dinner, my mom thought we were having 4 extra people, even though I had told my dad that the 4 people weren’t coming. She managed to order SOO much food. I couldn’t believe it! She got 4 orders of scallion pancakes and like 4 orders of juicy buns. Here is a picture of our dinner.

As you can see, I couldn’t even fit all the dishes in my picture!

Hmm, so I don’t know what else to talk about. It’s Friday, and Grace, Lynne, and I are going food shopping because we have nothing in our fridges. We’re going to see Miracle tomorrow. That’s all I have planned so far.

Oh yeah, for all you Yankees fans. A-Rod is going to be on the team! I remember when I found out. We were at Jon’s apartment and we were watching the NBA All-Star coverage, and then there was a sports update, and it said that A-Rod might be traded to the Yankees for sucky inconsistent Soriano! They said it was questionable. Then it was confirmed a few days later. I’m sooo happy! It’s cool because A-Rod said he would give up his short stop position and be a baseman. Isn’t that awesome? Jeter and A-Rod are going to be on the SAME team!! I’m really excited for the season to start. I really want to go to a game this summer. OK, enough with my ramblings. I hope you guys liked my new layout ;D

Last night, my friends and I finally booked tickets for spring break. Yay! I feel so much better now. So much more relaxed. I’m guessing everyone watched the Superbowl last night. I kept checking for the score, but I watched Queer Eye for the Straight Guy instead. I love that show! I never realized how much I miss Bravo here in Pittsburgh. They had a 3 episode marathon on NBC during the Superbowl. This week is going to be pretty busy. I’m not looking forward to it at all. I just thought I’d keep you guys updated. Oh yeah, I spent like $75 at Wal-Mart. It’s pretty crazy. I bought all these things. I can’t believe V-Day is in 2 weeks. Once again, I have no Valentine–the story of my life! I’m glad I have aerobics today. I feel like a fattie for not exercising on the weekends. :[
