someone from amoeba (a guy.) showed me this awesome song from the Wonder Girls. I am generally not a big fan of korean things, but I really like the Wonder Girls. Their music is so catchy! One day, when I am bored, I will learn the tell me dance. ^0^ (Other Korean things I like: calbee, kimchi, beansprouts, pickled... stuff, the garden church, and David)

I have been trying harder to be spontaneous (read: not hiding in my room). Last week on a thursday night, even though i had homework, i went out with the trio+jake+lynn and had tons of fun! [see fb for pictures, i am so lazy!] we took pics with a lambo we discovered in the parking lot. and we played the cup game. [see fb video] i started my homework at 11:30pm lol. but i think it was worth it. i can be a good student AND go crazy!

oh, i finished heroes season 1. and then i kind of kept going into season 2 even though i was semi-resolving not to. um but i'm not watching it addictively anymore. thankfully.

some highlights since the last time i posted...
calvin and derek came to visit pepperdine, and we also went to santa monica (third st promenade, and the pier). [pics on fb lol] it was so exciting! i love going to new places! theyre opening H&M AND American Apparel at third st. I have a feeling I will be going there quite often. It was really windy though.
SPEAKING OF WIND. I HATE THE SANTA ANA WINDS. they are so nasty and evil. they make scary noises, cause me to walk slow, blow crap in my eyes/hair, AND they're hot and dry. its been alright this past week, but last week for like 4 days i was miserable and i hated going outside. then i went home and retrieved all my winter clothes! lol. OH and then there were fires in the valley so it was dust and ash and wind and BLEH. i wonder if there will be fires this year. i wonder, if there are, will i leave or stay? it is safe to stay on campus, but do i really want to stay in all the ash and smoke? only thing is, they say that last year they wouldnt let you back on campus for a while. i wonder how much i care. we'll see!

ANOTHER highlight is... amoeba semi-reunion krnbbq! i was the only girl hahaha. there were like... well half of amoeba. richard david estevan tim me and calvin. [pics on fb] it was fun, and expensive, and fun. we went to the garden buffet because they had stuff estevan could eat. dude, for people who dont know how to cook, we did excellently. and i came out smellin like meat. haha ew. but yeah i love amoeba :D

if you didnt know, i'm applying to study abroad next year, in shanghai. i will be learning mandarin (even though EVERYONE knows cantonese is much better. ;D) and 'getting in touch with my roots' or whatever. i am def. looking forward to the food. but of course i will miss home a lot. but i dont really want to think about that quite yet.

the garden church is so awesome! one of the seniors is mentoring me now. the thing that sucked about fecc was that there are few/no female mentorish people. like, they were either too immature or unwilling... or they were married with kids. and there were always other girls who were more needy of that guidance, that were constantly chasing after them. ('them' includes my own mother. honestly, i dont like sharing her. but what can you do, yaknow?) i dont know if you even understood any of that. but ANYWAY the point is, i now have my very own mentor! and she's really smart/talented/mature. <- like me! jk :) we meet every week. the garden church wants me to eventually be a leader. we'll see...

oh i gave up on my resolution not to show andrew my haircut. there were so many picture i wanted to upload! haha. and then he didnt show up to krn bbq. bah. but at least now he has his mac. (btw i think the new macbook is rather unattractive.)
last week was midterms and i was mostly crabby. lack of sleep. then i got behind on regular hw. sigh! but this week will be better. being a good student has been very manageable - nothing less than an A so far!
calvin and i are going to be salt and pepper for halloween (probably). you know, theres never been a year when i didnt dress up for halloween. (for calvin, pretty much the only years he dresses up is when i hand him something to put on)

what a rambly, disorganized post! sorry about that.
take care of yourselves! <3

ps - what do you think of this video? i've been going through all the propositions with calvin, very slowly - they are so complicated! and its so hard to know what the right thing to do is. 1a was especially tricky.
