Home is a Lovely place

I went back home on Friday November 14th and when I went to "my" room I found out that it had been COMPLETELY transformed. It was now my sister's room as the walls were adorned with girly stuff and shelves were covered with stuffed animals. :( This room is very special to me because I've been through a lot in this room like studying for tests until really late at night, good/bad days happened in this room and the list goes on. I am going to miss it very dearly, I won't even be able to sit at my desk and do work anymore.
Besides that me and my brother went home and gave my lil sister a pink ipod nano for her 8th birthday! I do hope she likes it :)
On Saturday I went to my friends birthday party and met up with old high school friends and one or two college kids from Berkeley. It made me miss home where everyone is all together and not off at distant places.
I also watched Mean Girls for the first time EVER. It was actually pretty funny and better than I expected. Haha. I found out that many memorable quotes are now very commonly used lingo in many teen's vocabulary. But I dont remember them.
Today was a the big game! Play-ins to get into round 1 of the playoffs. The beginning was good until the other team had a huge play and scored a touchdown and then I guess our team's morale kind of dropped and we didn't play as well as we expected. We sure had fun at the end though. Good season.
Now I have to finish up my Chemistry Post Lab, do my Pre-lab and then study for my Math Midterm on Wednesday and also finish my dumb lit essay that is due on wednesday at 5 pm. Oh goodness and then after all that the busy work should die down a little bit and then it will be Thanksgiving break really really soon! I am so excited for that. :D Excited to see familiar faces and play football on Black Friday.
OH and also, Christine is coming from Chicago and visiting us at Davis next Sunday. That means PHO TIME!!!

Snoring and Football

My roommate is sleeping in his bed and snores pretty loud while I am watching the Sunday Night Football game Giants vs. Eagles while doing my Chemistry Lab. I remember there was one night when he was snoring too loud and I woke up because of it so I groggily got out of my bed and I shook him and he was like "What?" and me "You are snoring" and then I went back to sleep. Anyways I still hate the Giants forever. Superbowl XLII will forever be in my mind so I will forever hate the Giants, I want every team to beat them so I am rooting for the Eagles. When the Giants were against the Cowboys, I didnt even know who I wanted to win. I hate both.
Top 3 Hated NFL Teams:
1. Giants
2. Cowboys
3. Chargers

Anyways... as I have mentioned earlier my IM football season is over. We ended with a record of 3-1. Last week we beat the other team 24-6! First play of the game touchdown pass by me :) yay! However I thought that our season was over because I was looking at the playoff brackets and the top 16 teams were qualified for the playoffs and my team is ranked 21. I was surprised because a 3-1 record is pretty good but then I found out about a new updated bracket on Saturday morning at 4 am that top 21 teams make it! The first round is the play in so we have to beat seed 12 to move on. I am not 100% sure that we made playoffs though because there are still some leftover games going on today so lets see how that affects the ranking later.

Pho is one of the most amazing foods ever. The first bite is the best. Beef and Sriracha sauce. Oh baby. I went again yesterday to Pho Saigon in Sacremento. I totally recommend it. MV kids who want to come up to Davis and visit and love Pho? I'll take you there. Hehe. Me and the team captain of the other team that we beat last week made a little small bet that if he won then I would treat him to our DC and if I won then he would take me to eat whatever I wanted. I chose to go to Pho so I am going again this Wednesday. Woot woot!

This Week:
Second Chem Midterm this Friday...
Start writing my The Crying of Lot 49 Paper which is due next Wednesday

Dang my reading for that book is going ever so slowly. It is amazingly boring so I've fell asleep many times while I was reading it. Maybe there is too much deep meaning and what not that I don't have enough intellectual power to compute with it.

So last Thursday my roommate informed me that he would have one friend coming over from back home and that he would sleep on the floor. I said "Ok" as long as it wont bother me. Later that night he told me that it was actually three people and I was like uhhh alright are they all gonna fit? He took Friday afternoon cleaning up his side of the room and that just meant stuffing all the stuff that was all over his desk and floor into the trash can or his drawers. Very very efficient. Turns out that it was actually 4 people to sleep in our room but at 4 am as I was finding out about the IM football bracket his friends all come in and then they grab their stuff and they go somewhere else. *Phew* I gave out a huge sigh of relief.

Jon Ng has come up from Riverside to visit ME! Isn't that just nice of him? It is very cool to see Monta Vista people up here in Davis! It is truly exciting. I would also like to take some opportunities to visit other UC's and find out how they are like. Yes I will indeed soon.

I believe Sunday will be the day that I will blog. :)

*SHORT EDIT*
The Mummy 3 - The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is probably the worst movie I have seen in college so far. Bad acting and predictable plot. Wasted 1 hour and 45 minutes of my life :( DON'T WATCH IT!!!

*OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION*
coldpockets has indeed made the playoffs! rank 20 baby! i circled my team in the red

Sunday Afternoon...

Crystal and Meher thats is the title for your moment of glory.

I have got to say Sunday afternoon is so routine for me. Watch NFL, do Chemistry Post Lab and Pre Lab and do Math Homework. Then at 8 pm go play IM football game but today is the last day! :( How sad huh?

I don't really understand this whole ideal of blogging, what am I supposed to say?

College is crazy and hectic, when work comes by then I hate it because it seems like there is so much to do in so little time. I especially hate ENL 3 because it is an exact replica of my experience of Am Lit Honors in high school which was an absolute nightmare. I really hate that class and I still do. So my ENL 3 teacher is Asian just like Am Lit Honors and then in the beginning we were analyzing poems and then write an essay on them. And then it was like short story time when you read short stories and again analyze the significance. Our midterm had a similar format, first they give you like 20 questions and you have to answer 10 of them. Then is vocabulary terms and then write an essay. Ugh. Stupid lit. I only have to take one lower division and one upper division so I'll be done with that crap. Now I have to read this book called The Crying of Lot 49 and it is a satire and Postmodern! Wow high school memories will never leave me.

Midterms this week and next week. When will November break come? And it is only for 4 days, dang this is crazy. :( I miss many people. College is such a big place with so many people but can be very lonely. My roommate is always out of the room except when he is sleeping because he does "other stuff" and seems like he doesn't have any work to do whatsoever.

Time to attempt to finish reading this book I haven't even started on because Amazon delivered it to me so late.

Oh, I really really love popcorn. It tastes sooooo good. Orville Redenbacher Old Fashioned Butter. Yum not too buttery. Just perfect.
