so i'm BORED at work... but this is a different kind of bored. since i'm going to taiwan they brought in temps to replace me... so i spent the last couple of days training them, and now they are working and i am "supervising" hahaha. making sure they don't have any issues/questions. so i'm just sitting around. but on the bright side.. today is my last day.. yaaaay!! so i thought i'd spend my time somewhat usefully.. i hope :P

sunday i went to san diego with sakura.. YAY!! i love san diego. we had it planned FOREVER that we were going to go and eat california burritos and carne asada fries.. (atkins what?) oops.. oh well. so anyways... sakura drove down as i studied my hockey rulebook since i had work later that night - my first game by myself. yikes! and we got to san diego in a pretty good timely manner. we went to el cotixan's first (after passing the new walmart off the 52) and got a california burrito and a side of rice. YUM!!! man.. i've missed it.. i think it's been a year since i've had one.. scary huh?! we thoroughly enjoyed it.. and maybe depriving myself of carbs made it taste all that much better, but it was EXCELLENT. then we went to UTC and shopped and i tried to find stuff for my sister, and we passed by this new "chocolate cafe" store.. it was very exciting.. haha.. they had a candy bar that was like one pound of chocolate for $22! that better be some good chocolate.



we got to hailes graduation but we noticed ALL the new buildings that they built. in the past year. it was madness. there was a whole bunch of new buildings by warren and revelle too. all grad research buildings. wow. also, roosevelt was done! it's SO big.. there's SO many dorms and it's HUGE. but it's very nice. it almost makes it worth it going to ERC. hahaha. but it looks very nice, but marshall is still the best :)



we went to hailes' graduation and we thought we'd have to wait until the end to hear him and carli graduate, but they went in reverse alphabetical order (by major) this year! tricky tricky. but then of course hailes and carli wanted to sit through all the majors to graduate (they're theatre and urban studies.. argh) but it was okay. we sat around and tanned ourselves. at one point sakura asked if i had her phone and she looked in her purse 5 times and i kept calling her phone to see if i could hear it and we searched all over the field.. but no phone. so sakura lost her phone, but then she called it so that she check her voicemail and i heard some beeping and i was like hmm.. i wonder if one of these people stole her phone. and then she held her purse up to her ear and heard her phone ringing!!! WHAT A DORK! i snatched it out of her hands and she dared me to find her phone because she looked all over and couldn't find it. i found it inside one of the zippered pouches. what a nerd. :P it was very funny, but you probably had to be there for it to be funny.. i guess i'm not a very good story teller.





FINALLY the graduation was over with and we took lots of pictures. we weren't able to meet up with carli because she left right away because her family had dinner reservations. sad. but we took a lot of pictures with hailes and we weren't able to have dinner with him either because i had to come back for work. boo me. but we didn't head back before going to roberto's for carne asada fries. yuuuummmm. it was SO good as well. i ate in the car and fed sakura as she drove and it was the two best meals we've had in awhile. hahaha. i got home, went straight to work and messed up a lot in the first game with all the penalties.. ack.. i felt really stupid. but hopefully it'll get better.



yesterday i was supposed to do a bunch of stuff... but i ended up just sleeping instead. i was falling asleep at work, so when i got home i went straight to bed. i slept until 10:30pm when my dad told me to take out my contacts and brush my teeth. and in my sleeping stupor i lied and told him i already did.. but for some reason i thought i really already had brushed my teeth. but i got up because i had to do some stuff for my sister. then when i finally went back to sleep at like 3 or 4am i had some CRAZY dreams. one where i was in the bathroom and it was clogged, so i lifted the back part and there was chunks of stuff floating (ewww) but then all these tropical fish came out of the drain and starting eating it. and then a snake also came out and the slithered over to the sink and went down that drain.. but it wasn't a real snake, but looked like the "cable snake" that's in those commercials on tv. and at one point i heard this loud buzzing sound and it got louder and louder and i felt trapped like i couldn't move my head.. and finally i turned my head to the other side, but then the buzzing returned and i couldn't move at all and i felt like i was being electrocuted or something. i actually thought i was going to die.. it was very very strange.

but after today i won't have to wake up early anymore so maybe that will get rid of the strange dreams. or maybe it was the large influx of carbohydrates in my system after awhile. i was going into shock. or maybe it was real... how scary.
