yikes.. I haven't blogged in a long time. I guess that's just a testament to how busy my life has been this past week. I blog religiously.. even when I have school work to do.. hahah.. Anyways.. I guess I spent last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday doing Circle K work.. prepping for Convention and what not. No surprise there. I worked some on the scrapbook with Sakura, and then worked on my spirit items, and then tried to organize rides and emailing people, and of course working on banquet stuff. Oh my.. busy busy busy. I'm so busy I haven't had time to update myself in my *NSYNC planner. oh my.. that's busy. Anyways. here's the beginning of my weekend:

THURSDAY:
I was doing stuff all day. Went to try and pick up the shirts and found out that they wouldn't be ready. Wet Monkey was really janky this time.. I don't know what's wrong. But anyways.. arranged for them to be done on Friday morning and for Sakura to pick them up. Took care of some more stuff, packed and emailed some people and finally left for Nicole's. I got a really late start.. sorry to Nicole for leaving so late because I know she wanted to leave a lot earlier than that. I was going to stop by at home too before I went to Nicole's, but I didn't get a chance to do that either.. sad.. I didn't get to see my daddy. :( Anyways..got to Nicole's finished my pasta, and then drove to Visalia. Yikes.. I didn't realize that that drive was so bad. Especially when it was dark. Thanks to Nicole once again for riding with me, and not ditching me earlier on.. haha I guess I should thank Armando for already being on the 5. It was kinda scary because I was going quite speedily on the freeway to try and get to Visalia for the pre-board mtg. Sorry I was late, but at times I caught myself going 100mph (don't tell my parents!) and I was going uphill like 80 mph, and then we started going downhill, and the road curved to the right, and I got totally freaked out because my car was going really fast and I almost lost control. It was scary. So anyways.. we were in Visalia and Nicole start screaming and shreiking "VISALIAAAAAAA!!!! WHOOOO HOOOOOO!" And then when we pulled off the freeway towards the exit Nicole stuck her head out the window to scream some more, but quickly pulled it back in because it was "ew.. stinky" awwww.. Nicole's so cute! Go to the board meeting way late, and just talked about the weekend, and then worked on some stuff. hahaha I fixed Carrie's computer when Sukhyung coudln't.. hahahahahaah.

FRIDAY-
Got woken up by Nicole who is quite possibly the worst human alarm clock. :P and then Board Meeting. sad.. it was the last board meeting. That was the first "I can't believe it's ending already moment" and then Walmart Errands with Carrie for the DBoard. I swear.. I have been to Walmart more times in this past week then I have been in my entire life. heh. Had the DBoard lunch at the hotel.. Philly Cheesesteaks.. yumm. it was SO good. Yeah.. food in Visalia is really good, I guess it makes up for everything else. Then the members started arriving, and then we had opening session. I, of course, felt like a retard in the pseudo costume that I just made up, put people liked it, so it was all good. Had opening session, and Convention had officially started. It was so funny because Nicole was all like "Jean.. we're sitting at the head table!" And it's a cool feeling.. sitting at that table and looking out at the members cheering and clapping and being excited for Circle K. Anyways.. did that then went to caucus. Retarded me, I decorated the caucus room, and it was all nice.. but I decorate the wrong room, because they swtiched them around I guess after the program was printed. *sigh I was kinda upset.. but I got over it. Anyways... caucus with Foothill, and then afterwards I think I just hung out with Carrie, Nicole and Beth.

SATURDAY-
Caucus once again, but got breakfast.. danishes..mmm.. And then the rehearsal for dinner, and then I took a little break. I probably should have went to a workshop, but Jane told us to take naps or else we wouldn't make it through the rest of the day and she was probably right. So I resided in my room before it was time for lunch, and then House of Delegates. It was an interesting House of Delegates like I thought it would be, and Hailes got elected District Pub Ed! Yay! It was so funny because after his speech people were all cheering for him, and Sakura and I were so astounded and baffled because we were all like.. these people are cheering for Hailes, and they don't even know who he is. And maybe it was his speech, but I didn't think it was anything spectacular, it was just "Hailes." And Beth said something about how he was charming or endearing and how she thought he was really cool, and again.. Sakura and I laughed because we would never have thought to use Hailes and charming in the same sentence. I don't know.. something about that boy makes us so amused. But we love him and he's great and we're so excited that he's Pub Ed. hehe.. we're still going to treat him the same.. hahaha. Anyways.. then got primped for the Senior/VIP reception. We sat and listened to Joe about his "ingenious" ideas about barbers and who knows what else. Then the awards dinner. I'm so proud of UCSD, we won so many things, and we won the things that counted.. SCRAPBOOK! yay.. we won scrapbook and Sakura and I were sooooo happy. It's like our child. haha. It's a good thing that we won because then we wouldn't have to had staged a walk out. hehe.. I guess that $20 I gave Nicole really helped :P. Then I made a Walmart run with Megan, came back and danced for a little bit, and then did PTP pieing. hahahah I didn't get pied. I thought for a chance I might have been able to, but UCI put their tickets in Team 1 because they wanted the opportunity to pie someone.. which was dumb because if they had just waited for UCSD to put in their tix, then it may have been a closer race. Oh well.. too bad for Team 1, good for me. hahahahah. Then stayed up all night, with the exception of my power nap, and helped out with some stuff here and there. While Nicole is the worst human alarm clock I would have to say that Jimmy is the most amusing. He had phone calls with Michael Vartan and the Backstreet Boys to try and wake up Pic and Carrie. mm.. funny funny

SUNDAY
Got ready for rehearsal, then had the farewell session. *sigh.. sad sad sad. My divsion did win the Divsional Unity Award though.. which is awesome... yay my division! I also got to MC this session, which was fun, but I did mess up some names and "superheroines" oops.. my bad. During the slideshow and the speeches.. I never really cried. I don't know if it was because I was tired, or I had already heard most of the speeches, but like.. I think I was just sad it was over, but I knew that my Circle K life wasn't over. And that I'd see these people again. I don't know.. it's weird.. I was so sad, but it wasn't enough to bring me to tears.. I think it's cuz I was too tired to cry.. :( But the slide show I was laughing so hard I started to cry. Because Kathy and Nicole sat with me, and they were making fun of me and my "yay!" cheer. I dunno.. when I get happy I say "yaaaay" and so everytime they saw a picture of me or my division they'd do it all loud and I almost fell out of my chair because I was laughing so hard because I was so embarrased. Afterwards, took some pictures, and then rushed off to go check out of my room. Session ran way late, and I had to be at the Board Meeting, and so I left Sakura in the room, and came back later to check out. I think the maids were kinda irritated.. but I thought that I'd have tons of time. Dude.. I had so much stuff though. Packed my car, shoved in Nicole, Sakura and Beth's stuff. Ate Jack in the Box with the girls and Ryan and then it was off for home. I was so extremely tired though, and I started swerving here and there, and that woke me up of course. But like twenty minutes later I was so exhausted that i knew I would probably kill us all. The girls were so tired too though and none of them could drive so I parked at a nearby park and we all napped. Later when we woke up i went to go buy ice cream and water from McDonald's and they decided that Beth should drive. So she drove for a little bit, and then we stopped off to get gas, and I drove again. Met up with some CPP fools at TGI Friday's. We showed off the scrapbook and then went home. I dropped Nicole and Sakura off, and then came home for a bit and then went to Denny's with Carrie. hehe.. it's so weird, I've always gone to Denny's during convention and this year I didn't, but I guess we made up for it. Sat and talked and then I went home.

TODAY
Wow. that weekend just came and went like that, so fast. Today I didn't wake up until 4pm, and that was because Nicole called and my daddy woke me up. Otherwise.. who knows how long I would have slept. Chit chatted online and checked the million messages I had. Mostly junk emails though. Then head out with Mondo and Manny to meet up with Beth, Nicole and Ryan and did a pseudo-board post convention dinner. It was our attempt to stay in the convention world, but it's nice to just chill and have spring break after convention because it was so tiring and I would have died if I had to have school this week. We ate the Rainforest Cafe, and Sukhyung joined us later and then drove Manny and I home. It was a good time, we just sat and talked ... mostly about CKI stuff of course. hehe.. It's inevitable.. you put two Circle K'ers together and you get CKI talk. Anyways... I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and then banquet errands to run. Then back to SD for the MEST concert with Kimmy and then my banquet on Wednesday. Back to Torrance later on to chill with Angelee and spend some quality time with her.. :) I love that girl. And then back to school on Sunday. Yikes.. I hope my banquet goes okay. I dont' know.. I have like a million things to do. *sigh.

But for now.. I'm tired.. so tired I can't really think straight. I think I'll totally need this week to catch up on my sleep deprivation from this weekend. But hopefully I'll get to talk to all my friends as well. :) I just want to chill.. that's all.. that sounds good to me.
*ps.. sorry that this isn't like very insightful or like my thoughts or what not.. but just an update of my life. my real thoughts and feelings will probably come later when I'm not so tired and have the patience to come up with these things.
